From: Vincent J. Tancreto
Subject: Tow Away Zone on Fast Lodi Avenue and snV.czLically Ps i -t affects
the residence at 234 and 23412 Fast Lodi '(lveTj'ue.
Date:.: January 22, 1986
This letter is written on behalf of the Estate of Mary Tancreto t.c;
prote%t the limited parking that is in effect at East Lodi Avenue on the
South Side of the street in the 200 BIock.
The Tow Away sign is planted on the Nort.east Corner of the property
at 234 and 23412 East Lodi Avenue and specifies that parking is prohibited
between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
It is my understanding that the A and W Company was instrume.ntfil in
getting this ordinance passed because stree- parking on certain nights in
front of the premises affected their usiness.
The residence at 234 and 23412, which is a duplex, is at the very least
a half block from A and W and it is inconceivable that it should be involved
at all.
Consider thatthisproperty has no driveway in front or in the rear,
residents could not leave a car in the street after 9 p.m. If there were
guests visiting or even spending the night, it would place the resident in
the awkward position of asking the guests to leave or park elsewhere.
There are times when members of my family meet here and even spend the
night'. They certainly should be entitled to park in front of the house
where they can keep an eye on their respective cars.
The only alternative would seem to be to drive over the gutter and
park on the front lawn.
At the tip..e that the Notice of Hearing was probably mailed to property
owners of the area my mother, who resided in the front apartment, was
seriously ill and was in no condition tc consider your notice or attend a
hearing. She was alternately in the hospital and convalescent hospital
until her death on July 9, 1985.
The notice probably went out with all the junk mail that came in the
mail everyday. I assure you that if I or my brother or sisters had known
of the hearing, at least one or possibly all of us would have been in
attendance to protect the effect it would have on residents of the duplex.
The heirs to this property, which was purchased in 1916 by our parents
Angelo and Mary Tancreto, and on which taxes have continuously been paid
for at least 70 years, do hereby petition the Lodi City Council to modify
the parking ordinance to make it more palatable and more equitable by
allowing unlimited street parking where a residence is involved.
