Gentlemen:
In regards to the ',''ater 'Nell in Blakely "ark. I was
never informed or asked my o.:inion about its c:�nstraction,
and I am very much opposed to it. It is very noisy and
the view from the front of any house is very unattractive.
It should have never been built on r•'iss=on Street,
which is Zone 2, residential, and not commercial. The well
should have been built in the middle of Blakely Park or
on Stockton Street, where it wouldn't directly disturb
anyone.
I work hard everyday to improve my house and I feel
my property value has depreciated because of this pump.
No one is going to pay full value for a house that has a
water pump for its view from its front window.
Mr. Ronsko, Public ':Forks Director, said it's the City
of Lodi's mistake and I feel it is a-:-Iistake the City
should have to live with and pay for -- not me aria my
family.
I suggest you remove the well, install a submergable
well, or pay me $25,000 for the depreciated value of my
house and I will have to sell it for a cheaper price and
move.
Sincerely,
Luigi Boccia
