But, there always seems to be a but ..... . As far as the assessment for the Paving District #28, I would like to make a few written comments since I will be out of town on March 28, 1983. First , I do not mind paying, although the notice is a short one. Second, I feel the job was inadequately done .... I had to have a sidewalk (unused driveway) pulled up and pieces of cement were just turned over into the dirt and lef ... I was told that since the driveway went nowhere, it was a rule that it be torn up, leaving me with dirt or (grass covering if I choose) to walk up to my house, yet the church one block down did not have their unused driveway that goes to no where removed. When I called I was told that block was not being done which in fact was not true. I also called regarding the poor grade of cement that was used. I in fact have broken pieces almost the same size as what was there before. Th e curb was completely cracked before paving and when I called to complain about the grade of cemen I was told " he black top will cover the cracks" indeed it does but with the weight of cars how long will it take to break down. ~Y neighbor has a crummy looking driveway that is dir and asphalt and nothing was done.

Wh ich m~ans my tax bill increased by 60 %. This will raise my monthly tax escrow with my mortgage company from the current $40.33 to $63.62, a $23.29 monthly increase. This means I will have to raise rent by $23.29 per month or $279.48 a year. My tenants and I are not willing to pay $23 .29 a month xtra for th e c rown to be taken out of Logan Str et so that it will accommodate more traffic. Which is the r eason given to me on why it was done in the first place.

Dear Mr. Higbee: I am writing this letter on behalf of my mother, Mrs. Margaret Curry, 3792 South Acoma, Englewood, Colorado, Lots 23 & 24, Blk. 8, Ham and Killies Bdwy. Hts. I am strongly protesting the assessment notice she received February 26, 1983, re- garding Paving District No. 28. Mrs. Curry lives on a State retirement pension, and this past year has had some very serious, and costly, medical problems. She now requires 24 hour home health care, which the insurance company refuses to cover, or even help with, and the cost of that alone is $~500 per month. At this point, the family is trying to manage this expense in order not to have to place her in a nursing home. The above mentioned bill does not include any of the other medical expenses, such as 20~ of the "allowable" Medicare benefit, and then the difference between the "allowable" expenses and the actual charges. I truly don't understand how a City like Englewood, with a good percentage of older people who have resided there for a good number of years, can expect pensioners and retirees to come up with assessments such as this. Mr s. Curry has owned this home since 1959, and has certainly paid her share of tax es and assessments in the past. Since she is not financially able to handle this now, I would very much appreciate your consideration of this appeal. I going to try to be at the hearing on March 28th, as Mr s . Curry is medically unable to 1 nd, but since I work two jobs, I may not be able to attend. Please consider this letter in the above h aring, and if I can be of any further assistance, please let now. T 1n you for your consideration. s~9·~ Rosalie J.

This letter is to protest the amount o f this assessment . I t is my understanding that the original reason for this entire project was to result in an improvement to the neighborhood. The info rmation sent by the city st a ted this was to be an "improvement of curba, sidewalks, and paving ... " I believe to even an objective person viewing my property before and after thi" "improvement" would show that just t h e opposite has resulted . True, the street was paved and t hat may be c o nsidered an improvement . But there was absolutely no i mprovemen t to the sidewalk, and the removel of two mature Ash trees has detracted f rom both the appearance and value of the property. True, I was given the righ t t o save the trees, which I now wish I had done. But the city stated that the sidewalk wo uld possibly be affected by the continued presence o( the trees, and I agreed. But the sidew alk put in by the city was merely repl acing one slab with another. On Septe er 13, 19 8 2 I wr ote a l et ter to Gary R. Diede, Director of tngineering, expreasing my conce rn over this aituation . He never ad the courtesy to reply . Apparently he did have the contractor replace one al a b of aidewalk, but the poor workmanahip and quality o tbia left .uch to be deaired. en it was stated that s ne aidewalk e nt opinion, an i prove proj ct.

Clarkson Englewood, Colorado March 21, 1983 Dear sir ; WE wish to protest to the amount of assessment cgarged to our property at 2995 So. Logan St. We were charged $903 .66 for paving Cornell street and now $1179 .60 for paving on Logan Street. It seems to me That $2083.26 for paving for this property in one year is a little steep, especially when the street belongs to the city. It seems to me the city should have to pay half of it at least. Mr and Mrs I.J .
