W'Hm *r and St Cloud MN • Mequon Wl 40th ^7" 8 •I'Pi !* Dear Jeanne, We have reviewed the proposal to subdivide the Fullerton property at 3350 Fox Street. The property is located west of Leaf Street on the north shore of Maxwell Bay in Section 5. The property access is presently provided by a 1,650 foot long paved private cul-de-sac that serves three existing residences. The subdivision will add four additional lots to the private street. The existing pavement varies in width from 18 to 20 feet. The Subdivision Code requires a 24 foot minimum paved width for private streets serving up to seven units. The pavement section is 8 inches of class 5 100% crushed aggregate and 3 inches of pavement. The maximum cul-de-sac length is 1.000 feet. We offer the following comments in regards to engineering issues. It appears feasible to widen the roadway to 24 feet in most areas west of the first 500 feet by shifting the centerline north or south to avoid trees. The roadway could be either rural (with ditches), or urban (with 4" bituminous curbs), or a combination of the two. The first 500 feet of the street west of Leaf Street has stone retaining walls along both sides, 24 feet apart. In this area it would be best to widen the road to 22 feet with bituminous curbing to avoid the walls. At the intersection with Leaf Street there are two stone monuments w'ith an 18 foot wide iron gate between them. One or both of the monuments should be moved to allow a 24 foot wide roadway. The new cul-de-sac location should be staked in the field to determine if !re<*< will need to be removed fct t!:c- ^onit.noiioii. Drainage and utility easements should be platted 5 feet wide along the lot lines and iO feet wide along the right-of-way. A 20 foot wide drainage easement should be shown across Lots 3 and 1, leading northwesterly from the existing culvert to Stubbs Bay. Please contact me at this office if you have any questions regarding this matter. Yours very truly, BONESTROO. ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES. INC. Shawn D.
