Howard R. Green Company Feasibility Study Project No. 815920J 2002 Street Reconstruction and Utility Improvements Little Canada, Minnesota Exhibit 2. No soil borings have been obtained at this time, and the pavement section will be dependent on the findings of the report. The streets would be lowered slightly for drainage. The existing storm sewer on the south end would be extended to serve all of Stark Street. After discussion with the City personnel, it was determined that no watermain repair would be needed, but some hydrants will possibly be relocated due to widening of the street. The televising reports indicated that repairs and improvements to the sanitary sewer would be required, including replacement of three manholes and five mainline repairs totaling approximately 250 feet. It has also been proposed that the shared boulevard manholes be removed and replaced with individual service lines for each property. D. MARKET PLACE DRIVE Market Place Drive would be realigned with the intersection of County Road C2 and reconstructed as an urban section complete with barrier concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, and concrete driveway aprons. The proposed width for estimating purposes was 36 -feet wide. However a final determination of street width has not been made and would be dependent on the amount of parking and or shoulder area desired. The proposed street typical- section for Market Place Drive would need to meet a 9 -ton urban design and is estimated as one and a half inches of bituminous wear, two inches of bituminous binder, two and a half inches of bituminous base, twelve inches of aggregate base, and geotextile fabric as shown in Exhibit 3. No soil borings have been obtained at this time, and the pavement section will be dependent on the findings of the report. Parking lot access points will be limited on the new public street and coordination will be done between the property /business owners and the City on the exact locations. No cost for private parking lot improvements have been included as part of this project. This work could be included if covered under a developer's agreement with the City. Proposed street improvements along Market Place Drive include a 6 -foot wide pedestrian walkway on the north and east side and amenities including; street lighting, plantings, etc. to extend the theme along Little Canada Road, however at a lesser scale. As evidenced by the cost savings realized in bidding the amenity work on the Little Canada Road separate from the street project, we recommend the same procedure be followed. The amenities should be bid as a separate project the year following the street improvements. The existing storm sewer collection system on Market Place Drive would be modified to improve the drainage. It is proposed that a regional storm water treatment pond be constructed as part of this project to improve the quality of storm water from the area prior to discharge into Round Lake. An exact location for the storm pond has not been determined, however a possible location is shown on Exhibit 7 Page 179
