He explained that most of the street is not served by sanitary sewer and water so it has fairly the same costs even though it is a bit shorter in length. He stated another difference is there is significantly more right-of-way access that contributes to the cost. He identified existing and proposed right-of-way lines and proposed areas where additional right-of-way is needed to obtain a consistent 66 feet of width. Mr. Brink presented the cross section diagram and stated they will, dp their best to center the roadway within the right-of-way. He noted that a temporary trailway was cons cted along this roadway and this project would construct a permanent 8.5 foot trailway. A width 046 feet is being proposed since the posted speed limit is 45 mph and the State Aid requirements' are alittle higher. He stated there is some flexibility in the street width. Mr. Brink reviewed the project starting on the westerly edge noting the street is generally 23 feet in width. A four foot separation between the road and path is being proposed. He noted the centerline is about four feet south of the center line to get both the roadway and path centered in the right-of-way. He stated another reason for doing that is a garage that is located close to the right-of-way line. Mr. Brink stated these issues will be worked on with the individual property owners as the final design is addressed. Mr. Brink presented the sanitary sewer praject, noting the few connection points that are available. He diagrammed the alignment and locations of extension to pick up the rest of the properties. Mr. Brink presented the watermain projcct. noting the location of existing watermain and the gap from Hollow Lane to West Shadow Lake Lane that does not have watermain. He stated that the watermain would be extended into that area and easterly to pick up those properties. Mr. Brink stated the storm sewer project needs to be extended and the area is fairly flat. He stated they would also propose some stormwater detention areas which will have to be reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed District. He stated the total project cost is $2.3 million and offered to answer questions. Councilmember Carlson asked about the status of the petitions to not pay the road portion and sewer and water installation. City Engineer Studenski stated the petitions had a number of double signatures for husband and wife and parcels that are owned by one resident. He stated the total is a two-thirds petition for the sanitary sewer and two-thirds against the street and stormsewer based on the assessed parcels. 29
