Memorandum - Mayor & City Council July 27, 2001 Page 2 . ~ The Council has a fiduciary responsible to maintain the infrastructure in the City of Arden Hills. ~ The City Council should consider the overlay option before a street reaches a condition for reconstruction. Greg Brown, Tom Moore, and I met to discuss how to present the Standards and the decisions the City Council will need to make to proceed with developing a Pavement Management Plan for the City of Arden Hills. We reviewed some of the previous information and began discussing how the City fits the Standards in regard to type, function, and need for drainage for each of the streets. I directed Greg to prepare the enclosed information indicating an option to look at identifYing streets by type -- collector, local, or non-through - and assign a curb type for each, as well as a width for each, and to show that graphically on the enclosed map. I asked Greg to also depict the type of streets separately in a 3-dimensional representation. I am hoping this will give you a better idea of the look of a collector street, 32 feet wide with B 6-18 curb and gutter, a local B 6-12 curb and gutter street 28 feet wide, and a 24 foot surmountable curb, non-through street from a 3-dimensional perspective. Those Standards that we need to consider and establish are as follows: . .. Street Function (local, collector, and non-through) - We have assumed at this point that each ofthe roads would be built to a 9-ton standard. One of the concepts we talked about is the possibility of building all roads to the same standard thereby eliminating the need for road restrictions in the spring. .. Street Width - Again, as proposed above, the width would be related to the type of street and the drainage related to the street width. .. Drainage - Curb and Gutter Retention Ponds - Storm Drain Pipe .. Aesthetics Landscaping - Trails/Sidewalks - Street Lighting - Striping At the conclusion of the meeting we should have the direction we need to go forward with . preparing a Pavement Management Plan by the end of this calendar year.
