There has never been a pasty present or potenti~7: drainage <br />problem along this streets even after tT~e heaviest rains. <br />2, The original survey of these lots (and as late as Navember~ 1964 <br />by E, Gd, L+hrhardt~ Public Surveyor of Texas) does not allow <br />a right-of-~~ay of 40 feet. This width would encroac'n on <br />private property. <br />• <br />3. A 40 font street ~rrot~ld entail many objectionable changes <br />such as re-locating gas and r.~~ter meters telephone poles <br />metal fences valuable trees perennial flower beds <br />and parts of car ports and lawns. <br />4. r1t Least 50;~ of tine residents of this street are either <br />unemployed or have Iaw~ fixed incomes. Such individual <br />property owners are simply unable to pay the obvious cost <br />of this intended construction. <br />5. Drainage ditches would be of no advante.ge nor improvement <br />either without storm sewers. Cur lots are lower than the <br />present road beds which serves ~.s a.de7uate drainage. <br />OUR DT:SI=•iE IS TO H`~V.t+~ A GOOD fi~1RD -TOPPED STREETS udIT:: ;10 <br />CURF3S~ RETAINP~?G THE PRESENT RI(~iT - OF - ~IAY~ AT?D ~iTITrzOUT ANY <br />FURTHER ELEVATION. <br />SIGNED s I`.i:°n ADD'~SS <br />~~ ~ ~ ` <br />~'~( <br />• ;.~ ~ , <br />~~ <br />~~ <br />ri ~~ <br />~'~ r <br />~~~5°'y~ <br />~~~ ~ ~_ <br />
