Re: Leland Acres Subdivision
;r ' ::..:r :;
Dear Mayor & City Council Members: �Cty r P Sn�cr
E� City ty�ana;ariager Pete:•son
As you are all aware, over the past fourtq�6ff arr
was forrunate enough to have had the opportunity of de-
veloping Leland Acres Subdivision located on the South-
east Corner of Lodi Avenue and Lower Sacramento Road.
The situation at hand with this particular property is
the portion of ground between the back of walk and the
brick wall (see blueprint).
After the walkways and the wall had been placed, the
obvious thought was how could we add a small touch of
greenery to the appearance, and yet do it with the
thought of low maintenance as our main objective.
WATER
1) Where to hook up?
2) Who will be'responsible to pay for the water
if we meter water in Lodi some day?
3)
Maintenance of the pipe, two valves and two
timers if broken or worn out?
Solutions:
1)
Lots #1 and #8 have been designated for the
hook-up points for water. The valves and
timer will be located directly behind the
brick wall by the entry of the cul-de-sac.
2)
The owners of Lots #1 and #8 will be respon-
sible for the cost of water if metered some
day in Lodi.
3)
Lots #1,2,3,4 & 8 have portions of pipe for
this irrigation system on their property
and will be responsible to replace or re-
pair any portion of this system which falls
on their property if it was not operating
for any reason.
This understanding between the buyers of.these
particular, lots will be specifically stated in
writing, a. memorandum to their title instructions:
which they will sign and date at thetime ofse-
curing a deposit to open escrow, along with sign-
ing the receipt of Public Report and the Real
Estate Contract and receipt for deposit. This
memorandum will be repeatedly signed and dated
by the buyers upon the closing of escrow.
PLANTS
1) Using tree or plant which would not grow more
than 3 feet in diameter, have a non-active
root system to avoiJ problems with cracking
the cement, be hardy to withstand direct
sunlight and be as maintenance free as possi-
ble (no trimming leaves, etc.)-
Solution:
1) The Nandina Domestica (Heavenly Bamboo) Plant.
This plant grows to approximately 4 to 5 feet
in height and not more than 3 feet in dia-
meter. This plant is very slow growing, has
a very non active root system, is very hardy
4
and completely maintenance free, other than
}
watering.
MAINTENANCE
1) What can we do to keep the weeds out of the
beds?
Solution:
1) As you can see from the blueprint, wu are pre-
pared to pour exposed,aggregate.concretel.
throughout `all the areas between the back
'? walk and the brick wall, except for a 12"
diameter hole for the plant and the irri-
gation system.
I am obviously open to and welcome your modification or
approval of this plan. My personal goal is to provide
Lodi with a more beautiful entrance into our City, with
the thought of future years foremost in our planning.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I will be
looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
AMES L. EHLERS
