Information about the projects
The first of the two water projects, ID 2020-6 Water Line Replacement started on August 17th, 2021. The goal of this project is to replace the old infrastructure which is a major reason for multiple water disruptions in recent years. There are numerous steps in resolving the issues, but the first steps are to accurately locate existing water mains, water service lines, curb stops, and gate valves. This is done through exploratory excavation performed by the contractor.
- Water mains are primary underground pipes in a municipal water distribution system. They are the major artery supplying water to smaller pipes on the way to homes and businesses. A water main line’s diameter could be anywhere from 6 to 16 inches wide and is often buried 8 feet deep underground, running under or parallel to a street.
- Water service lines are small pipes connecting water mains to a residence or business. Service lines are usually an inch in diameter.
- Curb stops are water control valves (basically an on/off switch) located near the property line, which are used to shut off the water to individual properties. Curb stops are essential to isolate water during construction or water leaks in a resident’s home.
- Gate valves are essential to isolate water by inserting a wrench to move a gate or wedge into the path of water inside a water main. Gate valves help redirect water so that work on water mains can be done.
The second water project, ID 2020-7 Connection to Cass Rural, has also begun. Connecting Horace residents to Cass Rural Water involves installing a meter pit (picture a huge vault that is the size of a pickup truck) near the 63rd St. and 82nd Ave.S. intersection. In the coming months, the contractor is planning to finish the rest of the construction which includes laying new transmission lines from 82nd Ave. S. down to the Horace water tower.
The completion of the Water Line Replacement project (ID 2020-6) and the Connection to Cass Rural Water project (ID 2020-7) is scheduled for June 2, 2023.

Information about the project
Water Main System
The 83rd Avenue South corridor will include both City and CRW water mains to provide looping
benefits to both water systems. The City water mains will not cross the Legal Drain to the east but
will provide looping benefits to both 61st and 62nd Street South. The CRW water main will not service
anything on the west side of the legal drain and will cross beneath the Legal Drain to service all users
on the east side of the Property. The CRW watermain will be connected to existing water mains on
the west and east sides of the legal drain. The 83rd Avenue South corridor will include water mains
for both systems but will remain independent from one another.
Storm Sewer System
The proposed Property will include local storm sewer that will be designed for a 5-year rainfall event
using NOAA Atlas 14 precipitation frequency. The storm water retention ponds will be designed to
store the 100-year rainfall event and discharge will be limited to the existing pre-developed run-off
rates from the Property for the 100-year event. The storm water retention system currently has one
pond which services Cub Creek 1st Addition and adjacent development properties and corridors.
Three additional ponds will be excavated on the east side of the legal drain to provide the storm
water retention system required to satisfy the needs of the drainage areas and benefiting areas.
Additionally, the storm water retention system is planned to use gravity for its discharge method
eliminating the need for a storm sewer lift station. This design will require large pipes to equalize
the four ponds and four storm sewer discharges into Legal Drain 27. A storm water report was
completed and can be found in the preliminary engineering report, see link below.
The storm sewer discharge is currently planned to be four 48-inch storm sewer pipes as shown on
the Preliminary Infrastructure Layout. Due to the storm water retention pond being
regulated by a gravity discharge, to perform future maintenance on the storm water retention
ponds it will be required to use mobile pumps to lower water levels.
Southeast Cass Water Resource District provided box culvert sizing for the 83rd Avenue South
crossing at their Legal Drain. In order for the new roadway crossing to not cause negative impacts
upstream of the legal drain during flood events, the roadway crossing will need to be designed to
allow for overtopping during major rainfall events. This roadway design will be coordinated with
Southeast Cass Water Resource District to meet all of their requirements.
Streets & Sidewalks
83rd Avenue South is a collector roadway and will be an access point over Legal Drain 27 to support
multi-modal transportation. The corridor will provide a concrete roadway, parking to supplement
the residential neighborhood and parks, landscaping, 10-foot shared-use path and 4.5-foot sidewalk.
The intent of the project would be to extend this corridor to the limits of the platted right-of-way as
shown in Preliminary Infrastructure drawings.
All local streets will consist of a 29-foot back-to-back asphalt roadway with sidewalks installed on
side yards and ADA ramps provided at intersections to support pedestrian traffic flows. All front yard
sidewalks are assumed to be installed privately by homebuilders.
The Property will utilize speed tables in various locations as a traffic calming feature due to length of
streets and to increase pedestrian safety for crossing. On the west side of the legal drain, two speed
tables will be used for traffic calming and a pedestrian crossing point on 61st Street South. On the
east side of the legal drain, two-speed tables are shown for primarily for the shared-use path
network on 80th Avenue and 83rd Avenue South

Information about the project
Land Use
The Property is currently vacant and utilized for agricultural use. The Property is proposed to be
subdivided and rezoned from A: Agricultural to single-family dwellings zoned R-4: Intermediate
Density Residential with a few public properties as well. The Property is located adjacent to three
existing neighborhoods (i.e. Dreamfields Addition, Sheyenne Shadows & River’s Edge Addition) and
the extents of the proposed Master Plan area start at 76th Avenue South on the north end and end
to Wall Avenue on the south end for the shared-use path & forcemain. Furthermore, the Master
Plan extends from the Sheyenne River on the east and extends to the Horace Diversion on the west.
City Infrastructure
The City has minimal existing infrastructure in the area and will require coordination with the City
and Cass Rural Water District (“CRW”) on the proposed Improvements. Record drawings for the
existing infrastructure have been requested from the City Engineer, however, records for 76th
Avenue South, the private grinder pumps within the River’s Edge Addition homes, and the utilities
within Wall Avenue were not received at the time of this report, thus assumptions were made
accordingly.
Sanitary Sewer System
Currently, there is no sanitary sewer infrastructure sized appropriately to service the
Property. Each home within the Dreamfields Addition has conventional onsite
wastewater treatment (i.e. individual septic tank systems). The homes located within
the River’s Edge (First) Addition are serviced by a private centralized wastewater
collection and treatment system. Wastewater from each residence is individually
pumped into a pressurized force main serving the subdivision which carries the
wastewater to a private mechanical wastewater treatment package plant. The
wastewater treatment plant provides secondary level treatment of the wastewater, and
the treated wastewater is continuously discharged to the nearby Sheyenne River.
Currently, the City of Horace has assumed operation and maintenance responsibilities of
the River’s Edge (First) Addition wastewater treatment system.
Neither of the two existing local systems are currently able to serve the proposed plat or
Master Plan area. It has been requested by the City to service the River’s Edge 2nd
Addition plat and entire Master Plan area by connecting into the nearby City of Horace’s
public wastewater collection system. The proposed Improvements will provide public
wastewater collection infrastructure to service the River’s Edge 2nd Addition plat in
addition to the entire Master Plan area. In addition, additional capacity will be provided
to connect in the existing River’s Edge (First) Addition collection system so that the small
mechanical treatment plant servicing the subdivision can be discontinued.
Water Main System
There is only one water main system in the area that currently bisects the Property. This
water main system is owned and operated by CRW and all future users within the
Property and Master Plan area will be serviced by CRW. The existing water main is a 6”
line that services the Dreamfields Addition and River’s Edge (First) Addition
neighborhoods, looping through the Memory Lane corridor. This existing 6” line will
service portions of the proposed Property, but per CRW, this line is not sized
appropriately for the entire area. Thus, future water main improvements will need to be
made within the 76th Avenue South corridor to properly service the proposed Property
and Master Plan area. Currently, along 76th Avenue South, the CRW transmission line is
a 6” water main that only extends to the entrance of Dreamfields Addition. At the
entrance of River’s Edge (First) Addition along Wall Avenue, the local water main is a 6”
main connecting to an existing 3” rural water main within the Wall Avenue right-of-way.
Storm Sewer System and Storm Water Retention
Currently, there is not a storm sewer system or storm water retention provided to
service the Property and Master Plan area. The Dreamfields Addition neighborhood has
a local storm sewer system and storm water retention pond sized only for its respective
lots. Also, the River’s Edge (Frist) Addition has its own local drainage improvements (i.e.
ditches and culverts) providing sufficient storm water management for its respective
lots. The proposed Improvements include a properly sized local storm sewer system for
the entire Property and Master Plan area, a regional storm water pond, a regional storm
sewer lift discharging into the Sheyenne River, and regional drainage improvements
along the adjacent areas abutting the Dreamfields, Sheyenne Shadows and River’s Edge
(First) Additions.
Streets & Sidewalks
The Property is bordered by 76th Avenue South on the north side, which is an arterial
roadway consisting of both asphalt and gravel surfacing, and the proposed
Improvements will establish a collector roadway access point along the gravel portion of
this existing arterial roadway. The existing local roadway, Memory Lane, connects to
76th Avenue on the north side through Dreamfields Addition neighborhood and ends at
the southern end of the development. Additionally, Memory Lane connects to Wall
Avenue on the south side of the River’s Edge (First) Addition neighborhood, extends
north and ends at the northern extent of the development. The proposed
Improvements will connect the two dead-ends of Memory Lane, completing the
connection of the local roadway from 76th Avenue South to Wall Avenue. There is not an existing shared-use path network servicing the Property. The proposed
Improvements will provide a shared-use path network running throughout the future
development, providing a connection for a future path network along 76th Avenue
South, and provide a connection across Wall Avenue connecting to the Lost River
Development shared-use path system.
Aquatic Resources
A wetland field delineation of the Property and Master Plan area occurred on June 23,
2020. Based on the results of the aquatic resources delineation and subsequent
jurisdictional determination, it became apparent that a 404 US Army Corps of Engineers
(“USACE”) permit would be required to complete the proposed Improvements due to
identified wetlands within the project area. The River’s Edge Aquatic Resources Report
is included in the appendices of this report. At the time of this Engineer’s Report, the
necessary USACE permit items and review processes have been completed and the
permitting includes mitigation of the entire Master Plan area. The final item that is
required to fully execute the USACE permit is the purchasing of mitigation credits from
the wetland bank. This item is being coordinated privately amongst the wetland bank
and the Developer of the Property.

Information about the project
This project consists of paving a portion of Industrial Drive and Frontage
Road in the Visto Industrial First Addition.
Proposed improvements:
The proposed project provides a paved surface for the additions. As per the planning of the subdivision to allow for settlement and effects of construction equipment, the final pavement lift was intended to be placed after most of the development in the area was completed. Pavement distresses from heavy equipment used in the construction of buildings in the area can be identified and corrected with the proposed final pavement lift project.
The proposed project consists of the following improvements:
• Water service lines and gate valves to lots without service
• Sanitary sewer service lines to lots without service
• Common excavation on Industrial Drive and Frontage Road
• Aggregate base course on Industrial Drive and Frontage Road
• Reshaping existing aggregate
• Gate valve and manhole adjustments
• Hot bituminous pavement or Reinforced Concrete Pavement
• Topsoil import, seeding, and hydro-mulch
Industrial Drive and the west 850 LF +/- of Industrial Drive and Frontage Road was constructed privately prior to 2019. The street is in fair to good condition, but frost boils develop in the spring. Subgrade failures have been a common occurrence on Industrial Drive north of Frontage Road. Due to these failures and lack of consistent typical section that area will receive the following improvements:
• Common excavation. Excavate the top six inches of material and remove it from
the site.
• Subgrade preparation. Perform subgrade preparation to the top 1 foot of
material. Disk the existing material to a uniform consistency and recompact at
proper moisture. Unsuitable material would be replaced with suitable material if
necessary.
• Aggregate Base Course. 6 inches of Class 5 aggregate base course will be
installed and compacted to a uniform cross-section.
• Pavement. Either a 6” hot bituminous pavement or 8” non reinforced concrete section
section will be installed.
The area constructed in 2019 and 2020 has a uniform section consisting of prepared
subgrade, and 6” of aggregate base course with the top 2” chemically stabilized. This
area will be regraded to a uniform cross-section and paved with hot bituminous pavement
or reinforced concrete pavement.

Information about the project
On November 15, 2021, the City Council of the City of Horace (the “City”) created Storm and Street Improvement District No. 2022-3 (“SSt. ID No. 2022-3”) consisting of the improvement of Wall Avenue from the Sheyenne River to Cass County Highway 17, and Sewer, Storm, and Street Improvement District No. 2022-4 (“SSSt. ID No. 2022-4”) consisting of the improvement of Wall Avenue from the Sheyenne Diversion to the Sheyenne River (collectively, the “Proposed Projects”). The Proposed Projects may benefit your property, and as such, your property is included in one or both district boundaries. Because your property is within the district boundaries, the City may levy a special assessment on your property.
What are the Proposed Projects and why do we need them?
In addition to creating the improvement districts, the City Council directed the City Engineer to develop preliminary engineering reports to determine the need for the projects, identify project alternatives, present a life cycle cost analysis of technically feasible alternatives, and propose specific courses of action. The preliminary engineering reports describe the need for improving Wall Avenue to alleviate poor road conditions and public safety concerns. More specifically, the Proposed Projects provide the following:
| SSt. ID No. 2022-3 | SSSt. ID No. 2022-4 |
| Storm sewer main, laterals, catch basins, and manholes | 8" sanitary sewer mains and manholes |
