, i r�,y 4, 1962 ` ; ; � , x L" F , ' R�PO RT TO THE VI LLAGE CO UN C I L r� SUB�TECT; Curbing at Clark Gas�line Station Iexington & B Gentlemen: On tiro rk in connection with the staking of thc curb and sidewalk, it was necessary to contact both Ramsey County (County Road B) and the State Hi�hwa� Department ( I�xin�ton ) . The approved pla�n calls For the face of th� curb �Lo be 2�} feet from the center line of each street. There is a t�affic s�maphore located on this corner which would have to be relocated if the curbin� were to be installed as per plan. This matter was discussed with Messrs. Floyd Snyker and Wm. Chenoweth of the County Lnginc�rs Office. They we�°^ �f the opiaion that County I�ad B�ro��ld be improved in t��e foreseeable future and that the surfac� width would be 44 £c:et, or 22 feet from the center line of �he street to the fa.ce oz^ the curb. I� appears �hat t��e basic grade wi� 1 not Ue chan�ed materially, but the driveways should be constructed to tl�� s-treet rather than the street �;o the driveways. In this line of' thought, they expressed that asphalt curbing and driveways should be constructed. T'i�e sidewalk, as proposed, cou11 be construc�tea az"' concre�Le as it wi.11 be f ive f eet f rom the f ace oi the curb . A propa.�ed grade oi' the curbin� will be submitted to the County Engir_eer for app��oval prior to permittin�, �;he owner to procede with this construction. In re�ard to Iexington Avenue, the State has not yct made comment on thE wa.d�:h of I.�xin�ton. It has been proposed to the State that the existing elevation at a point 22 feet �ast of the center line and opposite the south prop�rty line be used as the controlling point of the center line. From this point north to the inlet within the street, and just nortb of the curbing on Count,y I�ad B, a straight 6rade should be used. As Iexin�ton may revert to the County in the f uture, Messrs. Snyker and Chenoweth were asked about the County interests. They pointed. out that this was not under their juris�iiction. 'I�hey did state, however, that if Iexington wcre to revert to the C�unty's jurisdiction, the grade would probably have to be improv�d as it is now at what is considered a less than minimum grade.
