<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 10,2000 <br /> <br />r'" i" {fe, r.;:"[ <br />Llli\.j..,.,tl- 0 <br /> <br />of-way extends 14 feet into residential property. This space is used to allow for the installation . <br />of private or City utilities. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown stated that the City street standards called for four to six inches of asphalt pavement. <br />Below the pavement is eight to 12 inches of crushed rock with approximately 12 inches of sand <br />below that. The existing streets primarily include two to four inches of pavement, a few inches <br />of rock and at times no sand sub base. The 12 inches of sand is used to direct water from <br />underneath the road. One of the biggest enemies of streets was water that freezes and thaws <br />creating heaving of the road. If the water is kept away from the roadway, the heaving problem is <br />eliminated. <br /> <br />Also included in the City street standards was curb and gutters and concrete driveway aprons. <br />The concrete driveway aprons allow for a nice transition frOIll the driveways to the streets.-Tlie-----~ <br />aprons also keep the water in the streets rather than in the yards. Some developments include the <br />use of surmountable curbs. The curbing included in the City standards was more vertical for <br />maintenance purposes, such as plowing. Additionally, the more vertical curbs carry water better <br />than surmountable curbs. <br /> <br />Not included in the proposal for the Ingerson neighborhood was concrete sidewalks, bituminous <br />trails, additional landscaping (other than around the ponds), street lighting, concrete road <br />pavement or parking lanes. Additionally, ditches adjacent to the roads were not proposed due to <br />limited space and existing trees. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown explained the construction process of the proposed ponds. He indicated that the <br />intent was to get as much volume in the pond as possible within the geographic constraints of the <br />site. More volume in the ponds results in more settlement of sand and silt and cleaner water <br />running into lakes and wetlands. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown reviewed the proposed costs ofthe street reconstruction project. He stated that the <br />total cost was projected at approximately 2.2 million dollars. This estimate included the bid, <br />engineering, administration and legal cost, as well as overhead costs. The actual bid was <br />expected to be approximately 25 percent less than the estimated total cost. The road <br />reconstruction alone was estimated at approximately 1.6 million dollars. The storm sewer <br />improvements were estimated at approximately $370,000 and the ponding at approximately <br />$175,000. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown presented the proposed funding for the project as follows: <br /> <br />. General Fund: $440,000 <br />. City Street Fund: $130,000 <br />. Storm Water Utility Fund: $350,000 <br />. Rice Creek Water Shed District: $100,000 <br />. State Aid Funds: $630,000 <br />. Property Assessments: $519,000 . <br />
