PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS <br /> Sheets C-03A to C-03B in the Appendix illustrate the roadway as proposed using MNTOPO <br /> Website Contours and County GIS Parcel mapping overlay. Right-of-Way and actual road <br /> location should be verified by field survey. <br /> According to the City's June 5, 2019 Guidelines for Road Standards/Specifications,North <br /> Sluetter Road is designated as Rural (southern 2/3) and Residential (northern 1/3). The roadway <br /> has the potential to serve additional future parcels which would result in some increased traffic <br /> load. The current City design standard/Typical Section(included in the Appendix) for a Rural <br /> Roadway is a 24-feet wide bituminous roadway section, and for a Residential Roadway it is a <br /> 20-feet wide bituminous roadway section. The proposed road cross-section for North Sluetter <br /> Road will potentially have both a Rural and Residential section. The proposed locations of the <br /> different road sections are illustrated on Sheets C-03A and C-03B. There has been a request for a <br /> Rustic Road Classification. This is something that should be considered. Per MN Statute 160.83, <br /> a rustic road must have the following characteristics: outstanding natural features or scenic <br /> beauty; an average daily traffic volume of less than 150 vehicles per day; year-round use as a <br /> local access road; and maximum allowable speed of 45 miles per hour. <br /> In comparing the Rustic Typical Section with the Residential Typical Section,both roadbeds are <br /> 20 feet wide. Both Typical Sections indicate drainage improvements to keep water off the <br /> roadway—with the Residential Typical Section being more specific and the Rustic being more <br /> `open'. The Rustic Typical Section has a thinner recommended pavement section than the Rustic <br /> than the Residential. <br /> Segment A: <br /> For this initial report, this section of road (shown on Sheet C-03A) is proposed to be designed as <br /> a Rural section(Appendix Sheet 2) of roadway. Without field survey or measurements yet, we <br /> anticipate this Segment A portion would require minimal clearing and ditching, minimal change <br /> to the roadbed, some "sweetening" of the Class 5 aggregate base, and then bituminous paving. <br /> 8 <br /> 2019-13331 —City of Pequot Lakes-Proposed North Sluetter Road Improvements <br />
