Several issues need to be addressed that you may or may not be aware of The primary issue is noise. Proponents claim low noise and no rock c"o"ncerts; but, realistically it would be a public facility. At the present time neither the police, park rangers, nor the responsible parties at Hutchins Street Sq F_ia.r'e ch •se to address the problem. A second issue, of equal magnitude, is the la'r'ge dollar expenditure for a facility that would be, in our opinion, poorly utilized. Lots put the money into the "music at_lditoriurtvl and have the use of a facility year round. Lastly, the band shell, we are told, would eliminate the soccer field. We feel that the number of individuals that particpate .in sporting events at the Square far out -weigh the limited usage of a band shell. A facility of this type needs to be developed in . 'Ek -j ige field, possibly Micke Grove. CurAntly Lodi has facilities like Kofu Park, the Grap;? Bowl, and the Amphithreater at the festival grounds that could facilitate music c"o"ncerts. In the beginning, the promoters of Hutchins Street Square recognized that the facilities ars "nestled in a quiet older neighborhood of northwest Lodi." Our co==ncern is that maintainin=g this type of environment is no longer a priority of the Old L.UHS Site Foundation Committee. - This project appears to be a dream of a privileged few, and it seems the majority of h=eal citizens ane being overl=ooked.,. it is our belief that if this project corttinuas, we soon will have anyone with afetish and financial backing buiiding at .the Square.
