Section
5. Embankment. That the grading of the streets or parts thereof,
hereby widened or established, to the established or re-established grades of
the same, may cause an embankment or fill to be made, leaving abutting property
below the proposed grade of the street; and there is hereby condemned in said
abutting property an easement or a right to support said embankment or fill so
far as may be necessary to bring the street to the required grade by allowing
the material of which said embankment is made to fall upon the abutting land at
a natural slope so that the surface of the street may be graded. The area of
land in which said easement is condemned is hereinafter described and is shown
on the plan prepared and on file in the Office of the Director of Public Works,
showing a profile of the portion of the streets to be graded and indicating
thereon approximately the amount of the encroachment of the embankment upon the

compensation for damages, if any, therefore shall be paid according to law.
Section
6. Excavation. That in grading said streets or parts thereof hereby
widened or established to the established or re-established grade of the same,
it may be necessary to make certain excavations which will leave the sides of
the cuts in such a condition and position that the earth, dirt, rock and other
material composing the same will slip, slide, slump, creep, roll, flow, or fall
into the street obstructing travel and be dangerous to persons using the
street, it is , therefore, ordained that in such event and under such
circumstances, the sides of such cut shall be sloped back from the shoulder
line beginning at the grade of the street, a sufficient distance and on such
slope as will leave the street, when the work of such grading is completed,
free from such slides and in a reasonably safe condition for travel. The
extent of such excavations and slopes of the sides thereof and the distance
back on private property to which such slopes may extend, are shown on the plat
prepared and on file in the Office of the Director of Public Works, which
plat is made a part of this ordinance and there is hereby condemned in the
private property abutting on said street where said excavations occur an
easement or right to go upon such abutting property and remove such earth,
dirt, rock or other material, and just compensation for damage, if any,
therefore shall be paid according to law.
Section
7. Easements. That permanent right-of-way, and temporary construction
easements are hereby condemned and taken for public use for the location,
construction, reconstruction, maintenance, operation and repair of street,
drainage and improvements in and upon the lands hereinafter described.
The permanent right-of-way shall be used
as the permanent location of the public roadways, supporting embankments and
slopes, retaining walls, and drainage structures respectively to be constructed
therein; and shall be kept and used for all lawful purposes including, but not
limited to constructing, reconstructing, maintaining, operating and repairing
the roadway.

be used by Kansas City or its authorized agents, servants, employees or
contractors during construction for grading and sloping, construction of driveway
pavements, removal of structures, removal and replacement of fencing, removal
of trees and shrubbery, utility construction work, the storage of materials,
the operation of equipment, and the movement of a working force. After the
work is complete, Kansas City shall cause the surface of lands lying within
said temporary easements to be restored to substantially the same physical
condition that existed at the time Kansas City or its agents entered upon it.

acceptance of the improvements by the Director of Public Works and/or the State
