been re-marked in a current survey done Apri12007. She was aware that we were disputing the new survey and that we were looking into the legalities of claiming that land as ours since it had been that way for the past 44 years. The old fencing that was 5 foot from the wellhead was replaced in April despite this dispute, done in malice. Ms. Roacha is a licensed realtor. She is trained and aware that moving that tank 35 feet away from her backyard area and placing it in my frontage area increased the value of her home, and devalued my home. Ms. Roacha has about 1-lei acres of land. She chose to take an existing water storage tank that was functioning and plumbed to the existing wellhead, appeared as more of an urban, agricultural antiquity, and replaced and relocate it without a permit. After speaking with Dan's Water Well who did the work for Ms. Roacha, the existing tank was leaking, but a little maintenance would have solved that issue. It was in fact Ms. Roacha who chose to replace that tank, and relocate it to its current location. He did not suggest that it would function better if it were located closer to the wellhead as Ms. Roacha suggested in her original application. It is a simple water line that can extend to whatever location she would have placed it. Also Ms. Roacha was well aware of the rules and regulations of the City of Pleasanton. She had done whole house construction the year prior, so she knew to check with the city on what might be required with permitting. Which again directs us to the fact that all the existing neighbors never got to voice their concerns on the placement of the tank. It would not have been a question of mitigating whether ivy, or bushes can disguise this enormous tank in my frontage. We would have suggested a lower profile tank, either left in its original location or somewhere out of view from my kitchen, backyard, TV. Room, eating area and front driveway/ play area. There are low profile tanks attainable that Ms. Roach could have installed and easily landscaped with shrubbery. The size, of the tank that she got is massive in height. There are tanks available that have much lower heights, yet can still pump the same amount. Ms. Roacha acquired a 10,000- gallon tank, yet her home is on city water, and the only landscaping she supplies is her front yard and rear landscaping, and a little water for the horses to drink. The question I would like answered is, why such a large capacity of tank? A smaller, low profile tank could have sufficed. This tank is overkill. We also would have suggested leaving it where it is. It was a functioning tank with a leak. The exterior of the tank fit with the whole agricultural feel of where we live. It could have been cleaned up and viewed as an antiquity. Just because we live in an area that is ran by City, but zoned Agricultural, does not mean people can place anything anywhere.
