Dale Street and traffic traveling from the west merge into S. Owasso Boulevard. 2. Parking: Between Rice Street and Western Avenue, very little on- street parking occurs. A majority of the properties on this segment of road are side yards, with parking allowed on both side of the street on the cross streets. Western Avenue has parking allowed on the west/ north side of the road. Between the railroad tracks and Dale Street, many of the residents park vehicles and boat trailers on the Railroad right- of- way directly across the street from their homes. This 100- foot wide right- of- way runs along the entire south side of this segment ofthe project. This area also has a history of being a "dumping grounds" for debris, old appliances, tires, brush, and lawn clippings. These activities have generated complaints to our Code enforcement officer. B. Overhead Power: The electrical lines along this corridor are all overhead. Overhead utilities are located on both sides of S. Owasso Blvd. The transmission line towers on the south side are cost prohibitive to move or bury. However, there are overhead local distribution lines that cross over S. Owasso Boulevard and run along the north side of the road. Xcel Energy also has an easement over the railroad property that may impact our ability to acquire easements from the Rail road. C. Storm water: Lake Owasso is one ofthree major lakes within the City of Roseville. This 410 acre lake is classified on the City's Surface Water Management Plan as a recreational water body and is identified as DNR Protected Water No. 56P. Lake Owasso is an important water resource in Roseville and is closely monitored by a number of agencies. The total watershed flowing to Lake Owasso is approximately 947 acres and includes a portion of Shore view. Generally, it is that area north ofTH 36, south of North Owasso Blvd, east of Victoria Street, and west of Rice Street. The majority of this watershed flows through a series of wetlands and ponds before discharging into the lake. The storm water system is designed to maximize the removal of urban pollutants prior to their discharge into the lake. D. Property Considerations: Between Rice Street and the Western Avenue Intersection the majority of the properties adjacent to S. Owasso Blvd are single family residential properties. There are only 7 properties that have their front yards on the street. The remaining properties have side yard frontage with access off of one of the side streets (Woodbridge, Northview, Marion, Project P-ST-SW-05-06 S.
