CITY CLERK
Notice was received by me that my property, situated at 785 Coro Ave., is
assessed ,i34.02 for benefits arising from constructing sewer in Jessamine Ave.
I am in no way benefitted by this work, and therefore, feel this assessment
most unfair.
in the first place., this sewer in no way services my "property. It is in the back -
of my lot, and I have already p id my- share of sewer assessments on Como Ave.
Secondly, the notice states for benefits received. Construction of sewer and grading
became a joint project which turned out to be anything but improvement in my case.
I had to twice move my garage to comply with your land easement requests, and finally
had to raze it completely, because the change in grade level left it I ft. in the air.
Besides losing a garage, I lost trees, shrubs, sidewalk, driveway, clothesposts, and a
backyard --- a decrease of several thousand dollars in property value.
Therefore, having received neither service nor improvement benefits from this project
I feel the assessment unjustified.
