Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc. EASEMENTS AND PERMITS 2022 Street & Utility Improvements (Woodlynn Ave, Ryan Dr) ǀ 0N1.125241 Page 17 VII. EASEMENTS AND PERMITS Ryan Drive Ryan Drive improvements are anticipated to occur entirely within the City right-of-way. However, right of entries may be required to facilitate temporary disturbances adjacent to private property. A Minnesota Pollution Control Agency permit will be required for the extension of public sanitary sewer forcemain. Woodlynn Avenue The reconstruction of Woodlynn Avenue’s eastern segment exceeds one acre in land disturbance, thereby triggering the need for a Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) Stormwater Management Permit. Acquisition of the permit and documentation of permit compliance detailed previously in the Report will be required prior to construction. A right-of-way permit from Ramsey County will be required for street work within the Rice Street right-of-way. Surface improvements to the eastern portion of Woodlynn Avenue will also require the acquisition of an easement from the property of 90 Woodlynn Avenue. Preliminary discussions with the property owner (Kath Fuel Oil Service) indicate they are open to an easement agreement, with the stipulation that they may continue to park in delineated parking spots located in City right-of-way. It is anticipated that easement acquisition in this area can be obtained through agreement with the property owner prior to construction. Project staff should continue to work with this property through final design to formalize the roadway easement. VIII. CONCLUSION From an engineering standpoint, this project as proposed is feasible, cost effective, and necessary. It can best be accomplished by letting competitive bids for the work under one contract in order to complete the work in an orderly and efficient manner. The City will have to determine the economic feasibility of the proposed improvements.
