CALIF. 95240 PHONE. 33 - HONDA August 18, 1981 To the members of the Lodi City Council Ito: The Oleander medium on Cherokee lane from Almond Dr. to Popular St. I have made an extremely large capital investment in the city of Lodi, and being not only a property owner, but the- owner of a business that is bringing,a lot of money into the city from the elarrounding towns I I feel that the city of _ Lodi should solve a problem that exists. I want the city of Lodi to remove or at least tr w down to.a 3' height the Oleander bushes in the medium on Cherokee Vie. Their present height obstructs vis m and creates- an -extreme traffic hazzard. 1 -have. seen, drivers coming out of Jamond Drive and after turnrng left finally xaalize int; they are: going in the wrong direction..Ben' Osbiorne of RNs' Elec- tric tells -me that he has w�ttnessed the°same thing on numerous_;occasions. _.: ;. The Oleander wall currently creates a freeway-atmoesphere where.traffic'doming_off the freeway doesn't slow down until. iv it reaches the Kettlean and Cherokee Lane wntersection._r> I understand that there.is a si gafeant improvement • ��, <_ .. vlans for Hutchins Street. Wily is -Cherokee Lane being left out? I was required to conform to specific: buildrig.requir-; ements` whichincluded a large amount of grass area `,.=yet no one heading South on Cherokee Lane would even know that irp► ' business is here. this is not right and I request.that'the'_; = city of Lodi correct this situation. - I have been told that approval %as:beew given to trim the Oleanders if the property owners would pay -the cost of. their" trimirig and then also maintain- them in the future. I am sure that you all realize how this ignores the issue of safety and stin"alation of local business. The chance of organizing all the affected business owners r.zd coning to a fair assess— ment for each would be a project from which the city would receive a lot of bad publicity, along with many claims of unfairness. Yet even so, I am now and will be in the future willing to pay a reasonable amount if this is what it will take.to create a safer traffic area and a better business climate for South Cherokee Zane.: �tozv� L �3I HONDA0 1700 SOUTH CHEROKEE LANE, LOD1.

Ronsko Public Works Director 221 West Pine Street Lodi, Ca. 95240 Dear Mr. Ronsko: RE: Oleanders - South Cherokee Lane This letter is to confirm our conversation of Friday, April 24, 1981 concerning the oleanders in the center divider strip in South Cherokee Lane. As I mentioned to you on that date, Lodi Honda is desirous of having these shrubs removedso that our automobile agency will be visible to traffic moving south on Cherokee Lane This visibility is quite Important to us because a southbound motorist must turn at the Almond Drive divider opening, which they may not be aware of, and reverse his direction to get to our business. If the shrubbery were removed, motor- ists would see us well before they had to make this traffic movement. Your assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. If you have any alternative ideas, I would be glad to discuss them at anytime. Sincerely, 07 C_ S. R. Zamora RECEIVED r.mr o i 1981 CITY OF LOM
