Dec 28 00 11:28a <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Date: December 27, 2000 <br />To: Joel Hanson <br />City of Little Canada <br />From: Michael Schroeder <br />BryanHarjes <br />RE: Summary of Design Changes to Little Canada Road Amenity and Landscape Packages <br />The following are a list of changes made to the Amenity and Landscaping portions ofthe Little Canada Road <br />construction project that were discussed during our meeting on December 26th. The main concerns center <br />around the future redevelopment areas near Rice Street and the time frame for completion ofthe project in <br />those areas. Irrigation needs as well as overall scheduling were also key issues. <br />It is important to note that we are preparing separate plans for the amenities and for the landscape portions of <br />the work. While this adds some complexity to coordination between contractors, we feel we will get a <br />superior project if the work is separated according to the following: <br />Contract `A' Little Canada Road Streetscape Amenities <br />• Concrete paver walks <br />• Entry monuments <br />• Ornamental railing <br />• Bollards <br />p.2 <br />Contract `B' Little Canada Road Landscape <br />• Plant materials <br />• Sod restoration outside of road construction contract responsibility <br />• Irrigation <br />1. North Side of Little Canada Road between Rice Street and Middle Street (Redevelopment Site) <br />The construction of both the amenity and landscape portion of work between Middle Street and Rice <br />Street would not be initiated until the fall of 2001. With the potential construction of anew building <br />in this area (which may be set back 10 to 15 feet from the right -of -way), undercutting of the walk <br />may result from the foundation construction; the problem may be exacerbated by a building with a <br />basement (the potential for which is unknown at this time). By scheduling walk construction after <br />the likely foundation/basement construction, the potential for damage to the walls will be greatly <br />diminished <br />Pedestrian continuity through this area is still a concern if walk construction is postponed. A thin lift <br />of asphalt couldbe placed directly behind the curb for a temporary pedestrian connection until such <br />time as the final walk could be installed. <br />2.
