Mayor Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider the 2008-06 - improvement of Beam Avenue by reconstructed road surface, concrete BEAM curb and gutter, water main, and drainage enhancements. AVENUE The City Engineer presented a detailed report relative to this proposed improvement. That report outlined The project history relative to street condition and utilities. It was noted that there is no water main along the roadway. Sanitary sewer extends the length of the road. Storm drainage is conveyed via a ditch in a rural section sheet. The Engineer then reviewed the proposed improvements as outlined in his report, noting that these improvements include the reconstruction of Beam Avenue with the larger Kohlman Lane Area Project being completed by the City of Maplewood. Beam Avenue is proposed as a 30-foot urban section street with a 32-foot radius cul-de-sac. Concrete curb and gutter as well as concrete driveway aprons would be installed. Beam Avenue would drain by gravity to the east and into the existing ditch. Rainwater gardens and ditch improvements are being considered. Water main would also be installed along with services to all properties. Sanitary sewer would be re-laid and a stub line would extend out of Beam Avenue/Kohlman Lane intersection to provide for future extension to the north without further street disturbance.
