AGENDA TITLE: Introduce Ordinance Amending Lodi Muni ipal Code, Title 16 "Subdivisions"
Chapter 12 "Parcel Maps" and Chapter 16 "Final Maps"
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2009
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce an ordinance amending Lodi Municipal Code, Title 16
"Subdivisions", Chapter 12 "Parcel Maps" and Chapter 16 "Final
Maps."
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council, at its meeting on December 17,2008, authorized
the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with
Premier Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc., of Turlock, for the
planning and implementation of a horizontal control grid for the City.
The purpose of this control grid project is to establish a surveyed horizontal grid of control points as the
basis for future recorded maps and plats. The grid will primarily serve the newly annexed areas of the
City that are expected to develop in the future. The grid is located throughout the City of Lodi and
adjacent areas, with a concentration on the outlying areas where future expansion is expected. This
project included the setting of approximately 24 control point monuments of First Order accuracy, which
is the highest level of accuracy in surveying for measuring distances.
Premier Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc., has completed the field work on this project, and a
Record of Survey map has been filed with the County Surveyor. The introduction of this ordinance (see
attached) is necessaryto amend the Municipal Code so that future developments will be requiredto tie
all maps and plats into the City's control grid network.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in cost for maintenance of permanent survey
monuments.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
