This program is the total reconstruction of the existing , ~ streets throughout the City. Each year, City staff rates roadways and determine which areas need ~ to be included in the reconstruction project. Jj ~ As part of the reconstruction program, the City attempts to design roadways and cul-de-sacs that 1 I S will accommodate all emergency vehicles within the City. In preparing this design, the engineering staff reviews the fire vehicle needs, the other emergency vehicle needs, and t maintenance equipment needs. In each situation there are slightly different minimum standards " necessary for these specific vehicles. With these different minimum standards, it is difficult to ~,j L prepare a consistent design which can be implemented throughout the City. 4 i This difficulty became apparent during the 1995 PMP public hearings. The Skillman A venue is.~ ~ cul-de,:,sac located just west of Cleveland Avenue consisted of a 55-foot diameter cul-de-sac and ~ j ~ a 28-foot wide road. The 28 foot wide roadway is appropriate for all City vehicle needs, but the ~ ~ 55-foot diameter cul-de-sac is inadequate for emergency vehicles. In this situation, the ~ [~ ~ engineering staff proposed an 80-foot diameter cul-de-sac which would meet the needs of the _ ~ ~ emergency vehicles, but this was seen as unacceptable by the neighborhood. The neighborhood , researched the minimum standards of the City and found that a 70-foot diameter cul-de-sac was . ~ ! adequate for some vehicles and felt that this was an acceptable design standard. They requested { that this design standard be implemented during the design phase of the project. ... J3 j Because of this situation and a few other situations that have occurred in the past during the PMP ~ process, staff felt it appropriate to develop a design standard for streets and cul-de-sacs. This design standard would be a minimum design standard that would be acceptable for all vehicles within the City of Roseville. Fire department staff, engineering, and planning staff have been working together to develop these minimum design standards to be included within this ordinance.
