EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> <br />Street <br /> <br />Dodge Avenue was constructed in 1981. It serves a commercial/office Planned Unit <br />Development, therefore, Dodge Avenue does serve heavier volumes of both light and heavy <br />capacity vehicles. The roadway contains numerous patches and areas showing both surface or <br />subsurface distress. The roadway has deteriorated with time due to the minimal thickness of the <br />existing bituminous surfacing and the heavier volumes of traffic. <br /> <br />Dodge Avenue is currently 30 feet in width. The improvement in 1981 consisted of a 4inch <br />gravel base and a 2 inch bituminous layer, with a bituminous berm. <br /> <br />Sanitary Sewer <br /> <br />Ten inch PVC sanitary sewer is located under Dodge Avenue. At the south end of Dodge <br />Avenue the sewer line heads west under TH 169 near KFC. <br /> <br />Watermain <br /> <br />Twelve inch ductile iron pipe watermain is located under the entire length of Dodge Avenue. <br /> <br />Storm Sewer <br /> <br />There are three catch basins connected by 15 inch concrete pipe with 21 inch pipe at the low <br />point of Dodge Avenue. This storm sewer is just north of the project's limits. There is no storm <br />sewer located under the portion of Dodge Avenue discussed in this report. <br /> <br />Existing Private Utilities <br /> <br />Private utilities that have facilities in or near the project area will be notified of the project and <br />requested to incorporate repairs and relocations with the project as needed. Private utilities <br />include Charter Communications, Elk River Municipal Utilities, CenterPoint Energy, Northstar <br />Access and Qwest Communications. <br /> <br />V.
