E0'd 'lIlol Howard R. Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS February 23 2001 File: 803950. -0325 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road East Little Canada, MN 55117 -1633 RE: THEIS SUBDIVISION — LEEWARD WAY CITY OF LITTLE CANADA Dear Mayor and Council Members: As requested, we have reviewed the possibility of extending Leeward Way south an additional 85.72 feet. Based upon our review of Stephen Grittman's memorandum, the Allan Avenue Thoroughfare Plan, and discussions with Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director, we would offer the following comments. 1. The lack of a method for tum- around at the end of Leeward Way has caused that aepaved, temporary cul-de sac with a 30 foot radius be required when the sleet Is extended. The 30 -foot radius cul- de-sac is a deviation from the current City standard; however, this cul-de -sac would be temporary and this size cul-de -sac does exist in other areas of the City where there is minimal street right -of -way. Bituminous curb could be used around the temporary cud -de -sac to minimize the construction cost and the cost of removal when the street is extended. 2. The Allen Avenue Thoroughfare Plan shows this area to be served with storm sewer and sanitary sewer from the south. However, it may be possible to extend the storm sewer and sanitary sewer from the north to serve this small subdivision area. The watermain should be extended to the south edge of the proposed subdivision to allow for a future loop as the area to the south is developed. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. Sincerely, Howard R.
