Mr. Shawn Gustafson <br />Page Two <br />Both cities will be using MSA funding for the project, and therefore, the design will have <br />to comply with State Aid standards. Plymouth will probably have some special <br />assessments for the few properties which receive direct access from Femdale Road. I do <br />not know if Orono will be using special assessments to finance any portion of the project. <br />Femdale Road is classified as a “minor collector” street in the Plymouth Transportation <br />Plan. The following are our preliminary design concepts for the project; . <br />• The road would be a nine ton urban design standard. This means <br />concrete curb and gutters with storm sewer system for drainage. <br />• The road would be 36 feet wide. This would provide for two lanes of <br />traffic, one in each direction, and one parking lane. Although this <br />wouW be the standard, we would propose that the roadway be posted <br />for “no parking” and this 36 foot width would then allow for one lane <br />of traffic in each direction, with the other width used for turning <br />vehicles at the numerous intersections and driveways. <br />• The right-of-way would be 66 feet wide. <br />• The road would be designed for a speed of 35 m.p.h. <br />• There would be a separate walking trail in the right-of-way along the <br />east side of the road. ^ & <br />If you have any questions on the proposal for engineering services that I am requesting, <br />please do not hesitate to contact me. Questions for Orono should be addressed to <br />Greg Gappa, Director of Public Services. <br />Sincerely, <br />Fred G.
