by all but one of the lots involved. Again, it was for the bituminous paving, seven-ton roadway as in the other cases, 32 feet wide with the same kind of curb and gutter. There are some - what I would call - unique circumstances in this that didn't exist in the other roadways. This sketch shows how Oxford now has been widened a little bit at the time Shryer was done. It then narrows down to half of a roadway width of 15 to 16 feet wide in front of this lot which is undeveloped and, in fact, we don't have the north half of the right-of-way for that portion. It then jogs a little westerly and is about 26 feet wide in this location. There are some storm drainage facilities in the area. If this improvement were done, those would be realigned and relocated. There is also a rather large mound of earth - part of which was removed last fall, but much of it still remains. This would also be moved and knocked down to standard elevations if the improvement were done. As in the other improvements, no trees on the existing property are anticipated to be affected, and no shrubbery, and only minor adjustments to driveway grades. Perhaps we can see the other sketch. This shows pictorially what would be done, with the green being the curb and gutter, and the brown the paving. The other aspect of this improvement - if you recall that lot that did not have the full frontage - this lot also does not have any utility facilities. There is an existing sanitary sewer, but no watermain. For this lot to be developed, it will be neces- sary to construct a watermain between Shryer and north of Ryan where (inaudible) the watermain does exist in this loca- tion, some sewer services would have to be constructed to this lot, and water services to this let. The services would only be charged to that lot, but the watermain would be asses- sed to all the lots that it goes past. This is in accordance with the existing city policy that there is a 25 foot assess- able frontage assumed on the so-called side lot portion of corner lots. The Council may wish to review that point for these two homes that already have water connections at the time of a special assessment procedure. At this point we merely followed the standard policy. The reason being that these people are hooked up and would gain no advantage from the new watermain.
