The rock, shrubs, tree and decorative items placed within the
public right-of-way (between the curb and sidewalk) at 821 South
Cherokee Lane is a violation of Chapter 12.04 of the Lodi
Municipal Code. A copy of portions of that Chapter is enclosed
for your information.
We are therefore asking that the rock, shrubs, tree and
decorative item be removed by July 20, 1992.
If the work is not accomplished by then, the City will be
required to perform the work and will have to bill you for our
costs.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions
regarding this matter, feel free to contact me at 333-6740.
