The "Road Layout" extends beyond 4' on almost every road in The Villages (& in most of developed America).

There is a 3.5’ right of way between the road and my property line according to my drawings. Then, my deed restrictions state a 10’ utilities easement along the front of my homesite. This means that almost half of what I see as my front yard is either not mine or is contained within an easement.
The statement of easement in my restrictions allows above-grade utilities in the area contained by both a front and side easement. A 10’x5’ patch along one side of my driveway is such an area.
