Reply to "Easement: Curves from tangent?"

MELGAR, when you say the radius is infinite at the starting point, is that because the curve has not started yet.....a radius goes from a center to a point, so no curve, no center.....Am I understanding correctly?

You could also say the curvature is 0.  Just another perspective.

@Will - I actually saw that spiral diagram in a paper desribing rail easements.

Regarding easements taking too much room on a layout, my thought on the matter was to determine the curve based on the maximum allowed curvature of the easement instead of using an arbitrary ending point.
