Howard a 25 foot <br /> partial width right-of-way on December 17, 1984 . A 40 <br /> foot private road (Gates Road) approximately 1100 feet <br /> in length would be connected to the 25 foot easement <br /> (granted by Mrs . Juanita McCauley, Lot 21A) leading to <br /> the subdivision. However, when the Easement Agreement <br /> was prepared Mrs. McCauley refused to sign. She was <br /> willing to provide a verbal agreement only. <br /> Mrs . Howard has since arranged an easement with <br /> another property owner, Mr. Raymond Atwater. To <br /> provide access, a 30 foot easement 413 .45 feet in <br /> length would be connected to a 50 foot easement <br /> leading to the subdivision. A Class C private road <br /> (Howard Hill Road) is proposed. A partial width <br /> right-of-way is needed due to the topography of the <br />
