to where it would connect to an existing storm facility in Roselawn. At that same time, the cross drainage facilities that are culverts would be abandoned, and drainage would no longer be going through the back of the lots in this direction. It would still come in this direction somewhat because that's the natural flow of the land. There are some unusual problems that exist in this road- way. You notice that it is shown as Alternative 1 which goes f~om Roma to Roselawn, the entire length of the petition. In order to provide this construction, however, it is necessary to also have additional storm drainage facilities put into place. Those of you that are familiar with the area know there is a large hill approximately in this location, about 400 feet north of Ruggles, and it drains from there down to Roma, and also across Roma westerly to the intersection, and also comes from the south from the Larpenteur location, again to Roma and going overland to the west. There are no drainage facilities existing in this area, and it is our opinion that without these facilities it would not be possible to properly construct the roadway. This means that for this entire petition to be implemented, it would be our recommendation that a rather extensive storm drainage area may be required. Could I see that drainage area slide please? This area consists of approxi- mately 55 acres. It may not be necessary to involve all of this area which is south of what is listed as Roselawn, down to Larpenteur, and from the cemetery area across Lexington almost to Fernwood. They have not done an extensive study because the storm sewer was not petitioned for. In the event that the entire roadway were improved, we feel that at least a portion of this storm drainage area would have to be constructed to carry the water that is going to be accumulating in this area, away from the facilities. ~fuen proper storm drainage facili- ties and catch basins are installed (inaudible) it is not possible to have the water drain overland any longer from the catch basins. The grades aren't proper for this to occur, so the storm drains would be needed. There are two possible ways it could go out - southerly and easterly, and eventually in St. Paul near the other side of Largenteur and Victoria, or it could potentially go westerly across Lexington and through some other storm sewer facilities that the city has at that location. Once again I would say we do not have all the detail because it was not petitioned for. If this was to be completely done, we would recommend that a storm sewer study be completed, and the decision would have to be made at this time to complete paving on this street. It is possible, however, at this time, to consider what is shown as Alternative 2, again beginning at Roselawn, but this time stopping at the northerly edge of Ruggles. With a
