RE:
Request for Establishment of Maintenance District
for "F" Street Tree Planting Project
The Westchester Village Association has been working for more than a year to raise the
funds needed to plant more than I O0 trees along the "F" street corridor between 23rd street and
Ooldsn State Nighway. As we are seeing our project coming closer to reality, it is time to take
care of other details, including establishment of e maintenance district to cover the continuing
care of the tree once they are planted.
To that end, this organization is hereby requesting that a maintenance district be
established for this purpose. The district borders (shown on an attached map) would be as
follows..
,South - 25rd Street
East - "H" Street
North - Golden State Highway
West - Encina St., to Bay St., to 28th St., first alley to
50th St., follow parklng lot north to Go]den State.
We have obtained from the Kern County Assessors Office a list of the property owners
within these borders, and are ready to contact them to gat their required approvals. We now
respeetful]y request that the Clt¥ of Bakersfield initiate the process that will result in the
establishment of the Westchester Village Maintenance District.
