Dear Sirs:
My name is John Clifton and for the past six years I have �/ y
been leasing approximately 120 acres of land from -
John Lacouague for grazing cattle. Most recently I have
been paying Dividend Development for the use of the space.
It is my understanding that most of the land that I have
been leasing will be passing in fee to the City of San Juan
Capistrano upon the filing of the final tract map.
I would like to take this opportunity to request that I be
allowed to continue my lease arrangement with the City while
you are deciding the ultimate fate of the land. I have come
to know this property very well and have been responsible for
maintaining the water supply and fencing. It is beautiful,
but rugged terrain with many deep and dangerous canyons that
can't be used for much other than grazing cattle. Most
importantly it is land that can provide a serious fire danger
to homes which will be built adjacent to it if the brush is not
kept under control. Cattle are one of the best brush controllers
on the face of the earth.
I believe that I have been a caring and conscientious caretaker
and would continue to do so if you would give me the opportunity.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
X
John Clifton
