NARRATIVE nnr c[D -2 n-2 orz- iviv%Jl \ .J.J.JV.J PRE- CONSTRUCTION RECORD OF SURVEY LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEAST ONE-QUARTER OF SOUTHWEST ONE-QUARTER OF SECTION 23, TOWNSHIP 7 CITY OF SALEM, MARION COUNTY, SURVEYED: JANUARY 20, 2021 PURPOSE THE PURPOSE OF THIS SURVEY IS TO LOCATE SURVEY MONUMENTATION THAT MAY BE DISTURBED OR DESTROYED DURING CONSTRUCTION ALONG UNION STREET NE BETWEEN THE INTERSECTIONS WITH COMMERCIAL STREET NE AND SUMMER STREET NE, AND TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF O.R.S. 209.155. THIS SURVEY WAS PREPARED FOR CITY SALEM. THIS SURVEY RESOLVES THE EXISTING CENTERLINES AND RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES ALONG THE PROJECT CORRIDOR AND ALSO ESTABLISHES A SURVEY CONTROL NETWORK. OF BASIS OF BEARINGS AND HORIZONTAL CONTROL DATUM THE HORIZONTAL COORDINATES SHOWN ON THIS SURVEY ARE LOCAL DATUM PLANE GROUND COORDINATES, AND ARE REFERENCED TO N AD83(201 1 )(EPOCH 2010.00), OREGON COORDINATE REFERENCE SYSTEM (OCRS), SALEM ZONE, WITH DISTANCES MEASURED IN INTERNATIONAL FEET. OCRS SALEM ZONE COORDINATES WERE ESTABLISHED FOR CONTROL POINTS 1 AND 7 UTILIZING GPS METHODS TO ESTABLISH A PROJECT BASELINE. ALL REDUNDANT GPS VECTORS WERE LEAST SQUARES ADJUSTED TO THE 95% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL. TERRESTRIAL SURVEY METHODS WERE THEN USED TO COMPLETE A PROJECT TRAVERSE AND CONTROL TIES. A LEAST SQUARES ADJUSTMENT WAS THEN COMPLETED TO THE 95% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL TO ADJUST ALL TERRESTRIAL SURVEY TIES, HOLDING THE OCRS SALEM ZONE COORDINATES FOR CONTROL POINTS 1 AND 7 FIXED. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SURVEY, THE BASIS OF BEARINGS IS S70023'47"E, AS MEASURED ALONG THE CENTERLINE OF UNION STREET NE, SAID CENTERLINE BEING LOCATED 49.50 FEET SOUTHERLY WHEN MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO FOUND MONUMENTS 130 AND 504. VERTICAL CONTROL DATUM THE ELEVATION DATUM FOR THIS SURVEY IS CITY OF SALEM (NGVD29-47) BASED UPON CITY BENCHMARKS 1021 AND 1151. A CLOSED DIGITAL LEVEL LOOP WAS COMPLETED UTILIZING SAID BENCHMARKS AND CONTROL POINTS 1-7. A LEAST SQUARES ADJUSTMENT TO THE 95% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL WAS COMPLETED FOR THE LEVEL LOOP. SEE SURVEY CONTROL TABLE FOR RESULTING ELEVATIONS FOR CONTROL POINTS 1-7. CITY OF SALEM ORDINANCE 441 (APPROVED 2-11-1905) WHILE COMPLETING THE RESEARCH FOR THIS SURVEY IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE ACCEPTED BLOCK AND STREET DIMENSIONS DID NOT MATCH THE PLAT OF SALEM (S01-020). FURTHER REVIEW OF THE SAID PLAT INDICATED A REFERENCE TO CITY OF SALEM ORDINANCE 441. SAID ORDINANCE DOCUMENTS CITY MONUMENTS AS WELL AS THE BLOCK AND STREET WIDTHS IN THE DOWNTOWN SALEM AREA. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MANY OF THESE MONUMENTS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED OR ARE BURIED IN THE CENTERLINES OF INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE LARGELY INACCESSIBLE DUE TO HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUMES. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT ADDITIONAL CITY MONUMENTS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED, FOR EXAMPLE MCSR 33726SO40 AND MCSR 33726SO08, THAT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN SET AFTER ORDINANCE 441. THERE IS VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ON THESE SURVEYS TO DESCRIBE HOW THESE NEWER CITY MONUMENTS WERE ESTABLISHED. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY MANY SURVEYORS TO LOCATE THE STREET CENTERLINES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. I WAS ALSO UNABLE TO OBTAIN A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL SURVEY BY JEROME B. GREES FILED JUNE 19, 1862 IN WHICH SAID ORDINANCE 441 REFERENCES. THIS PRE -CONSTRUCTION RECORD OF SURVEY USES A COMBINATION OF AVAILABLE CITY MONUMENTS AND LOCAL SURVEY MONUMENTS (WITH AN EMPHASIS ON MONUMENTS BASED ON TIES TO CITY MONUMENTS) TO LOCATE THE CENTERLINES AND RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES WITHIN THE PROJECT LIMITS. THIS SOLUTION YIELDED BLOCK WIDTHS THAT VERY CLOSELY MATCHED THOSE AS SPECIFIED BY ORDINANCE 441. THE CENTERLINES AND RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES LOCATED BY THIS SURVEY ARE MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED BELOW. ROADWAY LOCATIONS UNION STREET NE CITY OF SALEM ORDINANCE 441 SPECIFIES THAT UNION STREET NE IS 99.00 FEET WIDE. THE NORTHERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF SAID STREET WAS LOCATED BY HOLDING FOUND MONUMENT 130 PER MCSR 31409 AND FOUND MONUMENT 504 PER MCSR 7363. THE CENTERLINE OF UNION STREET NE WAS LOCATED PARALLEL WITH AND 49.50 FEET SOUTHERLY WHEN MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID NORTHERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE AS SHOWN. THE SOUTHERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE WAS LOCATED PARALLEL WITH AND 99.00 FEET SOUTHERLY WHEN MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID NORTHERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE PER SAID ORDINANCE 441. THIS SOLUTION FIT THE RECORD DISTANCE ALONG THE CENTERLINE OF SUMMER STREET NE (DESCRIBED BELOW) FROM FOUND MONUMENT 503 TO THE CENTERLINE OF UNION STREET NE FOR 0.05' PER MCSR MCSR 33726SO08 AS SHOWN. THIS SOLUTION ALSO MATCHED THE RECORD DISTANCES ALONG THE CENTERLINE OF COMMERCIAL STREET NE (DESCRIBED BELOW) FROM FOUND MONUMENTS 124 AND 126 TO THE CENTERLINE OF UNION STREET NE FOR 0.01' RESPECTIVELY PER MCSR 38531. THIS SOLUTION ALSO FIT FOUND MONUMENTS 127, 129, 136, 149, 150, 152, 158, 159, 511, AND THE RECORD OFFSETS OF 4.00' FROM FOUND MONUMENTS 141 AND 145 WELL. COMMERCIAL STREET NE CITY OF SALEM ORDINANCE 441 SPECIFIES THAT COMMERCIAL STREET NE IS 99.00 FEET WIDE.

THE WESTERLY AND EASTERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES OF COMMERCIAL STREET NE WERE LOCATED PARALLEL WITH AND 49.50' WESTERLY AND EASTERLY WHEN MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID CENTERLINE AS SHOWN. LIBERTY STREET NE CITY OF SALEM ORDINANCE 441 SPECIFIES THAT LIBERTY STREET NE IS 99.00 FEET WIDE. THE CENTERLINE OF SAID STREET WAS LOCATED BY HOLDING A RECORD 41.58' OFFSET FROM FOUND MONUMENT 121 PER MCSR 37461, TOGETHER WITH A RECORD 49.50' OFFSET FROM FOUND MONUMENT 133 PER PARTITION PLAT 2020-005 AS SHOWN. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT FOUND MONUMENT 121 (SET BY MCSR 38075) IS A PERPETUATION OF THE ORIGINAL MONUMENT SET BY MCSR 37461. THE WESTERLY AND EASTERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES OF LIBERTY STREET NE WERE LOCATED PARALLEL WITH AND 49.50' WESTERLY AND EASTERLY WHEN MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID CENTERLINE AS SHOWN.

THE WESTERLY AND EASTERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES OF WINTER STREET NE WERE LOCATED PARALLEL WITH AND 49.50' WESTERLY AND EASTERLY WHEN MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID CENTERLINE AS SHOWN. SUMMER STREET NE CITY OF SALEM ORDINANCE 441 SPECIFIES THAT SUMMER STREET NE IS 99.00 FEET WIDE. THE CENTERLINE OF SAID STREET WAS LOCATED BY HOLDING A RECORD 45.50' OFFSET FROM FOUND MONUMENT 502 PER MCSR 14666, TOGETHER WITH FOUND CITY MONUMENT 503 PER MCSR 33726SO08 AS SHOWN. THE WESTERLY AND EASTERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES OF SUMMER STREET NE WERE LOCATED PARALLEL WITH AND 49.50' WESTERLY AND EASTERLY WHEN MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID CENTERLINE AS SHOWN. CITY OF SALEM RESOLUTION NO. 3645 (WALDO PARK) CITY OF SALEM RESOLUTION NO. 3645 (6-15-1936) DESIGNATED THAT THE REDWOOD TREE (PLANTED BY JUDGE WILLIAM WALDO IN 1872) AND THE AREA AROUND SAID TREE WITHIN THE CEMENT CURBING BE DESIGNATED AS "WALDO PARK". PER RESEARCH COMPLETED OF THE MARION COUNTY ASSESSOR RECORDS, THE PARK IS IDENTIFIED AS BEING OWNED BY THE CITY OF SALEM. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH REVEALED THE PRESENCE OF DIMENSIONS ON THE CURRENT TAX MAP OF 12' BY 20' THAT WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE THE SIZE OF THE PARK. A REVIEW OF RESOLUTION NO. 3645 DOES NOT SPECIFY ANY DIMENSIONS FOR THE PARK, EXCEPT THAT IT IS WITHIN THE CEMENT CURBING. I SPOKE WITH A CARTOGRAPHER AT MARION COUNTY TO ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE IF ANY OTHER RECORDS EXISTED WHICH SPECIFIED A DIMENSION FOR THE PARK. PER THE CARTOGRAPHER ON STAFF, THE ONLY RECORD THEY HAD WAS THE ABOVE-MENTIONED RESOLUTION AND THEY WERE UNSURE HOW THE DIMENSIONS CAME TO BE. IT IS UNCLEAR IF ANY OF THE EXISTING CEMENT CURBING IS ORIGINAL FROM 1936 WHEN THE RESOLUTION WAS PASSED. HOWEVER, THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE THE PRESENCE OF SECTIONS OF NEWER SIDEWALK AND CURB SURROUNDING THE TREE. BASED ON THE EVIDENCE, THIS SURVEYOR WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ORIGINAL CEMENT CURBING WHICH MAY INDICATE THE LIMITS OF THE PARK. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SURVEY I HAVE SHOWN THE 12' BY 20' PARK AREA BASED ON DIMENSIONS FROM THE CURRENT TAX MAP. THIS IS FOR GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION ONLY AND DOES NOT REPRESENT A RESOLVED LOCATION FOR THE PARK. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING REDWOOD TREE IS SIGNIFICANTLY OUTSIDE OF THE AREA SHOWN ON THIS SURVEY USING THE CURRENT TAX MAP DIMENSIONS.
