The special assessment for the proposed improvements will cause undue and severe economic hardship, which we cannot afford.

Vega" Robert W. Ryan 3414 W. 92 P1. SM KS 66206 April 25, 1983 "Mr. Robert Onley Office of City Engineer 1243 National City Blvd. National City, CA 92050 "Dear Sir: "I am not a land speculator or even a real estate investor. I inherited the 9th Street parcel from my aunts and have held onto it for all of these years in the imprudent hope that it would one day become valuable. However, it has become more and more a liability. The astounding $1,040 clean-up levy of last year and the pending $43,057 assessment tell me that I have hung on too long. At this point the only course that I see is abandonment with an attempt to recover whatever I can by declaring a capital loss. I am sure that the value of the property would be enhanced by the improvements which you are proposing but I am not prepared to take the risk of recovering the close to $80,000 that I would then have in it. Especially since I had an evaluation on January 25, that placed it at between $15,000 to $17,000. I then determined to wait out another re -zoning, back to RM-1 perhaps, which was the status under which I received the highest offer. Even then the assessor's valuation was $60,000 and the offer was for $49,500 with subordination and other unattractive features. "If you know of anyone who believes the plot would support six $30,000 lots, as you mentioned in our phone conversation of April 14, please have them contact me. "Very truly yours, (s) Robert W. Ryan" 5/24/83 May 13, 1983 "City of National City, City Clerk, Book 63 Page 93 "We received the Notice of Adoption of Resolution of Intention No. 14,012, 9th Street East of 'R' Ave., Assessment District 195. "We hereby file and enter our protest and objection to the proposed work and improvements. "We find the assessment cost on our property will cause such undue and severe economic hardship which we cannot afford. "We respectfully request that the City reconsider the cost on this project.

Drosi" May 11, 1983 "City of National City Attn: Ione Campbell - City Clerk 1243 National Ave. National City, CA 92050 "RE: NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION OF INTENTION NO. 14,012 9th Street east of 'R' Ave., Assessment District 195 Parcel No. 557-200-13 PETER G.
