After the original city hearing, I had an email conversation and an onsite meeting with Jarom Wagner to discuss amendments to the original requirements. I had a discussion with my contractor,
I became aware of the fact that the original requirements would not be beneficial to my business due to eliminating the customer parking.
I emailed Jarom to discuss amending the original requirements because the beautification would virtually eliminate my customer parking. At the time of the City Hearing, shared parking
with Coyote Plaza (previously known as Pablo’s Plaza) was allowed, however that is not the case as of now.
See Attachment.
I followed the direction of the email conversations that took place with Jarom, I budgeted and planned to only complete curb, gutter and side walk on Cleveland and finish the landscaping
on Indiana then install the rock garden on the corner of Cleveland and Indiana. That is what the emails stated as well as what was reflected in the aerial shot provided by Jarom.
See Attachment.
When I was arranging with the contractor that I hired, Mark Hess, to do the newly amended requirements, Mark wanted to know directly from the City of Caldwell (Jarom Wagner) the specific
requirements so that the work would be completed correctly.
On site meeting took place on September 19th, 2019 with Jarom Wagner, Mark Hess, and I (J.R. Flores) to explain the what was to be done for beautification.
During this meeting, Jarom stated that landscaping was still to take place on Cleveland. That is a contradiction to what was discussed and agreed upon in the email chain in April 2019.
I would like to keep my already limited customer parking and to do this I need to be able to only do what is shown in the aerial shot from April 2019. Also, since I am self-employed
and run a business, I only budgeted to complete the curb, gutter, and sidewalk on Cleveland – not to include landscaping. I had only budgeted for what was agreed upon in April 2019.
If the City of Caldwell will commit to the what was discussed and agreed upon in the email in April 2019 so that I can complete the work it would mean a lot to me and my family to be
able to move forward so that I can focus on improving our lives in other areas.
