grades are located between Little Canada Road and Schletty Drive. The street is approximately 1,050 feet long with a radius bubble approximately half way down the street and a cul -de -sac at the very south end. The cul -de -sac and bubble have a right -of -way radius of 60 feet and 45 -feet respectively and the right -of -way width is a consistent 60 feet along the rest of the street. A storm sewer system currently serves the urban street section and it discharges to the wetland to the south and east which eventually discharges into Gervais Lake. All properties are served with sanitary sewer, but no watermain exists along Schletty Drive. The properties at 521, 529, 533, 537, and 550 Schletty Drive do have water service off of the watermain that runs along Little Canada Road but all other properties are on private wells. The estimated Pavement Management rating for this road is 45 out of 100. The street suffers from alligator cracking on a significant portion of the street, failed areas of previous patching and potholes, along with delamination. The pavement rating indicates that the road has deteriorated to a level where it would no longer be cost - effective to rehabilitate the street. The only viable option is full reconstruction. VI. INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS Informational meetings were held for all streets on November 18th, 2013 to gather public input on the proposed project from those adjacent to the improvements. Copies of the sign -in sheets and complete meeting minute notes for these meetings are included in Appendix D. In general those present from Australian Avenue were against any improvement at this time and those present from Schletty Drive were in favor of the proposed work. VII. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS A. AUSTRALIAN AVENUE Australian Avenue is proposed to be reconstructed to a 28 -foot wide drive surface with concrete curb and gutter. Municipal watermain would be extened from the watermain on Lakeshore Avenue to the east end of the street and hydrants added for fire protection. All properties not currently served with water would have a service installed to the property line and a curb stop installed. The existing storm sewer in Lakeshore Avenue and the outlet pipe at the east end of the street would be reviewed and additional inlets provided to serve the new urban section. At this time we have assumed that the existing systems to Savage Lake are sufficient for use as the outlet for the new storm sewer system. As stated previously there is no turn around at the end of the street and it is our recommendation that one be installed. Due to the limited right -of -way and the existing improvements in the area it is unlikely that a standard full sized cul -de- sac could be used. Based on our initial review a small cul -de -sac or hammer handle style turn around should be incorporated into the design to provide a means for vehicles to turn around on the public street. Even with the reduced 5- 9
