Scope of Improvements We met out in the field with Mike Loven to discuss the extent and level of improvements. The improvements will start at the south edge of the end of the westerly extension of West Lake Street, proceed south and southeast on Pequot Boulevard to the intersection with Ramsey Street (including this intersection), and will include storm drainage improvements within the platted Ramsey Street Right-of-Way leading down to Sibley Lake. The basic approach is to remove and replace the existing bituminous pavement-the new surface generally being not much, if any, wider than the existing surface. The plan is to keep any existing curb and gutter-and in these locations, not to have any improvements or disturb areas behind the curb and gutter. A new catch basin or catch basins will be located at the `south to southeast' bend in Pequot Boulevard. From our field visit with Mike, it appears drainage from the north already basically flows to this location as well as a little bit of the drainage from the southeast. Any existing storm drainage pipes within the Right-of-Way(RAN) will be removed. If the storm drainage pipes go off R/W, they will be plugged at the edge of the R/W line (i.e. we do not intend to go onto private property). The new catch basin(s) will be connected to new storm sewer pipe, and probably a storm sewer manhole or two. This system will probably be located in the center of the road or the lake side to save existing curb and gutter. This pipe system will direct storm water to the southeast towards the natural low point at the intersection with Ramsey Street. An infiltration basin will then be constructed along the north side of the existing access down to Sibley Lake. After the pavement removal and storm drainage system installation, the roadway subgrade will be re-graded to obtain proper cross slopes. Engineering Architecture Surveying En vironmental
