City Clerk,
City of Redding
llear I�Trs. Blood:
This letter is to protest Lc�ts 32 and 33 Block 5 Greenwood Heights
being inciuded in the Oak Ricige Sewer System.
yo� 33 1�lock 5 has a sewer on Skyline Drive in about ten feet of
the property line and I canTt see where a sewer on Greenwood 5treet
wouid do any goad and Zot 33 �il.oek � is about 1'70 feet f ro�n the
sewer on High �treet and both lots is not v�orth paying for another
sewer for I have had ther,z bath for sale the la,st -two years for
�200.00 for both of themG
Yours very truly,

Attention City Gouncilmen
Dear Nladam:
T have your notice today that a sewer line is proposed iri the .
Uak R.idge Sewer i�ssessment Dist . and from the description given
T believe that it adjoins the Greenwoad rieights Subdivision in sorae
pl.aces.
In view oi the fact that I installeci a sewer system in Greenwood
Heights Subdivision, which was laid out, planned and supervised by
the City Engineer of . Redding; . I do r�ot f eel like paying for a sewer
line for the benefit of other property owners o '1'his line is of no
benefit to any property owned by me in Greenwood tieights, namely
T�ots 6, 7, �10, 29 or 3l Block 5 .
U�hen I installed the system in Greenwood Heights at a cost of
�6�00,00 to me, it was necessary for rne to run my 1ine , over 1500
feet to join on to the line at Court Street. I run one block down
Sonoma St. anci all property owners were invited by the city of
Redding to cannect on to my line at no cost �o them and I paid the
bill. It would seem to �ie that if you wish. to run a line at the
back of any pro.perty now owned by m�, inasmucn as I have already
paid for a sewer line in front of the lots, that you should not
assess me for sorrething which is of no benefit to rne whatsoever.
I hereby protest any assessment to me on tlze above menti�ned lots,
b,7,10,29,30,31 hlock 5 Greenwood t-feights� ,
- - Ver-y truly- yours,
�s/ ,�nn Lucero

MR. TRISDALE - CALABO�SE CREEK
I�Iayor Simons presented t e following letter from J. H._ Trisda�e�\
Inc � dat�;d April 25, 1951:
. To the Mayor and City Council , _ _ _ _ , \
City of Redding,
Redding, California
Gentlemen: �
lhis is with reference to the..Calabo_ose Creek Culvert pro- ..
blem that has developed on the Cypress Stq proc�erty which we
recently purchased from .the City of Redding,
It is the purpose and intent of this letter, to bring before
the proper officials of the City of Redd�ng, our viewpoint as
to whom should .rightly bear the expenses of the installation as
recommended. by the City Engineer. .
It was our intention, at the time the property was purchased,
to install a culvert of sufficient capacity to handle the �flow
of the 5 foot. dia�neter syphon which passes under th�. A.0 oI.D o
Canal at the extreme westerly end of our property. This plan,
however, did not meet the approval. of the City Engineer. It was
the opinion of the City Engineer that the siphon under the :canal
was inadequat� to handle the flash flood runoffs which occur_�from
time to time and that it will be necessary for _the city to increase
the size of this syphon at an early .date. �
We do not question the opinion of the City Engineer, but we
do believe that it is unjust to ask the property owner. to qssume
all the expenses of the larger culverte
We believe that it would be fair and just for the cit.y .to
assume a portion of the cost proportionate to the increased -size
of the culvert, as recommended by the City Engineer. It .was,our
intention to install a culvert of thirty square feet; operiing,
��
which is sufficient to carry the present flow through the siphon.
lhe City Engineer has recommended a culvert of fifty square f eet
of opening, which is an increase of twenty square feet,� or forty
per cent. '
We will appreciate your serious considerat'i�on of this matter>
Very truly 'yours,
J. H. TRISUALE;' I��. `
