This means that the new street will need to meet State Aid Rules for design. It also means that the City has the option of receiving State Aid funds to build the road_ In the past the City has built roads with State -Aid Funds, and also assessed the cost them_ The money received from abutting property owners through assessments is there used throughout the city for other street improvement and repair projects. The FEUD shows an undivided., four - lane, forty -foot wide street with concrete curb and gutter. A sixty -foot wide right- of-way is proposed. in order to meet State Aid Rules, a forty- four -foot wide street would be required. In the past we have required an eighty -foot wide right -of -way on State Aid Routes. I would recommend that a more appealing street section would be a divided two -lane road with a twelve to sixteen -foot wide landscaped median. Left and right turn lanes would be constructed at the driveways. This street design would require a minimum of a fifteen -foot wide lane, in each direction, however an eighteen -foot wide lane would be more appropriate. Trails The Developer is proposing a five -foot wide trail be constructed through the development. I would recommend that it be a minimum of eight -feet wide, with a 5% maximum grade.
