HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - November 20, 1991 (79)OF CITY OF LODI p �P g4FOii� AGENDA TITLE: Sanitary Sewer Service Request South of Harney Lane, SPRR to Mills Avenue Extension MEETING DATE: November 20, 1991 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion and appropriate action. BACKGROUND llMORMA'IM Earlier this year, the City Council approved the MV General Plan which provided for 2% population growth. The growth management plan subsequently adopted by the Council established 3 priority areas for residential development. (Commercial and industrial development are not governed by the growth management plan.) These priority areas did not include any land south of Harney Lane. This and --as all designated Planned Residential Reserve (PRR) in the General Plan. The General Plan calls for these areas to remain agricultural until they are redesignated with a General Plan amendment. The PRR designation assumed some mix of nonresidential development would be included. During the hearings, some of the property owners south of Harney Lane, adjacent to West Lane (South Hutchins Street), requested that the City consider sewer service to their property. The Council directed staff to do so, although no time frame or funding was discussed. In subsequent discussion with one of the property owners, Carl Fink, staff indicated the appropriate time to do the study would be prior to the next General Plan update, or possibly sooner if construction of improvements in the area south of Century Boulevard would affect their property. In any event, staff would need Council direction on which property is to be served in order to do a study. The City has nm received a letter (Exhibit A) from 3 property owners in the area requesting consideration of sewer service for 5 parcels south of Harney Lane. Their request described a number of combinations of parcels and distances from Harney Lane for consideration. They are summarized as follows: Acreage (Approx .)

PETERSON ="— CSEWERRQ/TXTW.02M (CO.COM) November 8, 1991 Sanitary Sewer Service Request South of Harney Lane, SPRR to Mills Avenue Extension `November 20, 1991 Page 2 Staff has reviewed this request and made some rough calculations based on Alternate 2 with development generally to 1/4 mile south of Harney Lane from the extension of Mills Avenue to the SPRR (approximately 204 acres). Based on these preliminary calculations, it appears it is feasible to consider serving this area by relocating the 1 i ft station planned for Lower Sacramento Road north of Barney Lane to the area of Mills Avenue north of Harney Lane (Exhibit B). This rough analysis did not consider: 0 the effect on the pipes needed for service area west of the 1 if t station (they will need to be larger and deeper), and ° the additional cost for oversizing the lift station and discharge pipe. Aside from these technical issues, the other effects of deciding on this request need to be considered. This decision could be construed as committing the City to the area to be developed in the next phase of the General Plan. As presently adopted, the General Plan identifies the area bounded by Harney Lane, Highway 99, Armstrong Road, and 1/4 mile west of Lower Sacramento Road as Planned Residential Reserve. lib specific subarea was identified as having priority. The major sewer necessary to serve this area is shown on Exhibit C. This sewer runs east -west, well south of Harney Lane. A an interim solution to extending the sewer to the outfall line west of Lower Sacramento Road, a 1 i ft station would pump sewage north to Century Boulevard. DISCUSSION Staff sees three responses to this request: 1) Daly the request 2) Proceed w it h a study 3) Defer the study until the next General Plan update 1) Dary the request Denying the request in effect means the issue will be resolved at a later date, possibly the next General Plan update. The future cost could include extension of a sewer gravity main or force main through 1/4 to 1/2 mile of developed street. However, we may be able to use the WED right-of-way at less cost and disruption. 2) Proceed with a study In order to proceed with a study, the Council will need to decide on the following: a) The service area (or alternate areas) to be served, both interim and ultimate b) How to pay the cost of the study c) How t o pay for the improvements CSEWERRQ/TXTW.C2N4 (CO. COM) November 8, 1991 'Sanitary Sewer Service Request South of Harney Lane, SPRR to Mills Avenue Extension Movam1xr 20, 1991 Page 3 Without a decision on a), the cost can only be roughly estimated. Given that more detail will be needed than the work done for the General Plan, the cost cculd be $20,000 to $40,000, or more. Once completed, the study will identify some improvements that will be located north of Harney Lane needed to serve property south of Harney Lane. These are not included in the present impact fee structure and cannot be added without significant work, including possibly a General Plan amendment. 3) Defer the study until the next General Plan update Presumably, the next General Plan update will identify land to be developed outside of the present Growth Management Plan. The present General Plan envisions this occurring south of Harney Lane, but a subarea is not specified. However, other property such as the area east of Highway 99, south of Kettleman, nay also be considered. In either event, the decision should be made with the support of environmental documentation and a full review of land use and other utility issues, particularly storm drainage. RUJIvNENDON For the reasons cited above, staff recommends response 3), defer study until the next General Plan update. FUNDING: To be determined. Y Jac L. Ronsko Pub is Works Director Y Prepared by Richard C. Prima, Jr., Assistant City Engineer JLR/RCP/lm Attachment cc: City Attorney Carl Fink Bud Costa Jerry Fry William T. Beckman Vera Perrin CSEWERRQ/TXTW.02M (CO.COM) November 8, 1991 Exhibit A SF'P901991 September 19, 1991 Mr. Jack Ronsko, Director of Public Works 221 West Fine Street Lodi, CA 95240 Re: SANITARY SEWER SERVICE FOR THOSE PROPERTIES IN SECTION 23 AND 24 ADJACENT TD HARNEY LANE AND WEST OF THE RAILROAD Dear Mr. Ronsko: Since the Council Meeting of June 12, 1991. where Staff was directed to study providing sanitary sewer access for our properties to Century Boulevard, through the Southwest quarter of Section 14, we have contacted Mrs. Perrin, who owns the Northwest quarter of Section 23. Her property is directly in the route of cur proposed sewer line. We asked, and received permission from her to consider a portion of her property as part of our request for sewer service. Hence this letter should be considered a joint application from Costa, Fink, Fry, Beckman and Perrin. It is our position that if the Southwest quarter of Section 14 develops without sewerage capacity for our area, we will be effectively denied reasonably economic access to the City sewer system for what could be decades. It is further our position that the near term development of that portion of our properties, adjacent to Harney Lane is beneficial to the City. The potential tax revenue that can be generated by the commerical development of the corner of Harney Lane and Hutchins Street could be substantial. Also, Harney Lane is becoming a heavily traveled road. Development along the South side of Harney Lane will widen the roadway and provide money for the widening of the Woodbridge Irrigation District crossing. We realize that storm drainage will have to be considered before the development of our properties. However, i f a master system is not developed prior to the time our property is "developable" we will request the Council to allow a private storm drain pond, or ponds, as an interim solution. Knowing that the Council will decide the scope of the study, we request that you take this letter to the Council and get direction from them as to how much area you should consider. It is our understanding that development North of Harney Lane is eminent and that the utility master plans for that area are presently being developed. Hence, the study should be completed as soon as possible. We request that the Council consider an area comprised of the Costa, Beckman, Fink and a portion of the Fry property. This area is generally a quarter mile deep, South of Harney Lane, between the Railroad and the Woodbridge Irrigation District Canal. We also request that you consider a portion of the Northwest quarter of Section 23 (V. Perrin) as it abuts Harney Lane to a depth of a quarter mile, but at least 600 feet. We would in all cases prefer- that the Council have you study the area for a half mi 1 e South of Harney Lane, but w i 11 accept an area deemed appropriate by the Council.
