Attention: J. Michael Walford
Dear Mr. Walford:
Our property is located on Highway 4 near downtown Oakley. We
are located about 1 block west of the CentroMart shopping center on
the same side of the highway. Our house sits very close to the high-
way, approximately 49 feet from the center and 33 feet from the edge
of Highway 4. We have our house on the market for sale at this time.
We have had many interested buyers and contracts have been written
making all the necessary disclosures regarding the future of Highway
4. Our disclosures require the buyers to seek all information from
the County regarding future development of Highway 4. Each time we
have a prospective buyer' we have lost them because of what the County
tells them. Our property is in the area that will become Commercial.
We as owners do not intend to use our property as a commercial proerty.
We priced our home as a residence. We,,.bought our property nearly 12
years ago and tore down all the old buildings and completely remodeled.
We built a 3 car garage, a 52 X 13 ft. covered patio and a large pool.
We have a lot of improvements. The house has 3 bedrooms & 2 baths.
The patio has a bath also.
We are approximately 160 feet from the property that will be used
for the new road to be brought into Highway 4 from the South east
end of the new Big Break subdivision by Hoffmann. We dre extreiAOly
aware & concerned about the traffic as it exists now and we feel
that the additional traffic that this new road will bring is more
than our property can tolerate. We are ready to sell, want to sell
but the Highway conditions prevent a sale. Everyone including the
Realtors, Property owners etc, around us are all aware the Highway 4
in our area is to .be widened. As you can see, You cannot widen in
front of our property without removing the house. We are caught in
the middle. My husband has asbestosis and should relocate to a
quieter home now. Not in some unknown date & time. I have talked
to a lot of people in many different departments in the County to
see what is going on. After each conversation, "I can see how a
prospective buyer feels toward our house." Almost everyone that
sees our house wants it until they talk to the County, then they are
negative. It was brought to my attention that the county will buy
property early if it is causing problems for the sellers. We are
at this time asking for an early buyout. We feel that we cannot sell
our house to the average public, we are dammaged by your plans.
Please contact us regarding this matter as soon as possible.
Very truly yours,
Earl F. Coon Ruth Coon
