2 east side has 30 feet of right-of-way. All of the west side has 33 feet of right-of-way from the old quarter section line, and these particular lots that you see marked in blue with an "x" on them are the ones where there's only 15 feet of existing right- of-way. Those locations, if the improvement is done, it's recommended that the right-of-way be obtained to provide a uniform and full right-of-way for this project. The arrows, which I hope you will be able to see, indicate the prevailing direction of the drainage which mostly goes from the mid-point south and from the mid-point north to County Road C-2. This roadway, because of the fact that it's already offset to the east, plus the fact that - I hope you can see - this is supposed to be generally the existing profile of the road. By that I mean it shows the elevation as it goes up and down. This would be the west side, this the east. This area indicates generally where the pavement is today. You will note that we have a little rolled curb on the west side, but the west side pavement is fairly near what was described earlier as the quarter section line. Most of the pavement goes off to the east. Also, this part of the road is much lower for quite a distance than is the east side. I hope you can see this aerial photo. Aerial photos do not reproduce clearly, but this is Oxford, this is Woodhill, Judith, and up at the extreme north is County Road C-2. The heavy line is the existing right-of-way line. The dashed line is where the future right-of-way would fall. You will notice that at this end the road is fairly near the center but somewhat still to the east. As it goes further and further north, it goes further and further east to the point where by the time you get to County Road C-2, probably half of the existing pavement is not in the City ownership. Half is out of the right-of-way we currently own. In fact, if you took that d~shed line up to the point where it would match the proposed right-of-way, .the road would barely be in the right-of-way as proposed. It's entirely on the east side. Hopefully you can see how it wiggles .a bit. Here it's close to the right-of~way line and, particularly at the north end, it veers to the east. The improvement as proposed would be to construct a residential style street as was in the last project, to the degree that it would be a 7-ton design. It would have the same kind of concrete curb and gutter and it would be 32 feet wide from face of curb to face of curb. Where this is different, however, it's proposed the roadway be shifted four feet to the east to minimize the impact of this particular road falling off on the west side. That is, the property falling off from the roadway. By doing this, nearly all of the work can be done within the right-of-way on the west rather than getting far back into the parcels and into the land of the people on the west side. This also fairly well fits the existing terrain in accordance with the cross sections that were taken. It does result in approximately 27 trees having
