COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: City Council
FROM : City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 3, 1988
AGENDA TITLE: Establish No Parking Zone on Tokay Street West of Ham Lane
and Ham Lane South of Lodi Avenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council establish a 210' no parking zone
on the northsi e of Tokay Street west of Ham Lane and a 40' no parking zone
on the west side of I-hn Lane south of the corthern Fhn Lane Professional
Center driveway. (See attached plan. )
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Chuck Wentl and sent the attached letter requesting
staff to review the sight problem at the Ham Lane Professional Center
driveways (Tokay Street driveway and the northern Fhn Lane driveway). Staff
made a number of field observations and witnessed sight problems at both
On Tokay Street, the combination of the parked vehicles and the street
curvature cause a sight problem for motorists exiting the driveway. The
majority of the parked vehicles (approximately 10 spaces) are employees of
the Bank of Lodi. It appears the employees are parking their vehicles
on -street, allowing their customers use of the parking lot (approximately 30
spaces). During our observations, the Bank of Lodi parking lot was half
full. By removing the 10± spaces on Tokay Street, those vehicles parking in
the area may move west to the residential area. Staff cannot force employers
to allow employee parking in their parking lot. Similar situations have
occurred in many parts of Lodi. The result is unhappy neighbors, reduced
traffic safety, and controversial Council decisions. The City Council and
Planning Commission should consider revising the parking standards to avoid
these types of situations.
W recommend installing the 210' no parking zone on the north side of Tokay
Street from Fhn Lane to the Ham Lane Professional Center driveway. Staff
also recommends installing a 15' no parking zone west of the fire hydrant
located west of the driveway. Because of the fire hydrant, this can be done
without specific Council action. Staff observed vehiclesarking within 15'
of the fire hydrant, and installing the no parking zone wipll improve the
s fight prob', ern.
APPROVED.

On Ham Lane, staff frequently witnessed a vehicle parked south of the
northern driveway. Installing the 40' no parking zone will improve the sight
problem at this location. This will not cause an inconvenience for motorists
using this area other than moving them south.

Dear `fir. Ronsko:
May i respectfully request that you visit our complex
and investigate the passibility of providing some red curb
near the driveways to allow the vehicle driver the ability
to see road -,,Tay traffic on 1 -tin Lane and Tokay Streets when
they are making a movement onto those streets.
The driveway that seems to have the most traffic is
that one on Eam Lane, west of Lodi Avenue. When a vehicle
is parked immediately south of that driveway, it is extremely
difficult to see Ham Lane traffic heading north. Of course
you probably don't have any trouble because of your size, but
there are a lot of elderly people, who hold valid drivers
licenses that do not see much above the vehicle dash board
and `nave difficulty seeing the cross traffic because of
vehicles parked at the curb.
I have noticed problems also with the westly flow of
traffic at Tokay Street driveway. I have listened to your
reasoning with the City Council on why you recommend this or
that over the years and believe I understand your philosophy
on intersection control (although I `nave not been privileged to
receive that communication as the Council has), but I do not
know your personal concept as to egress and curb markings on
the subject of this letter. I do know that the northern Ham
driveway gets a lot of traffic and feel that a red curb of
say 50 feet or more to the south of that exit would be worthwhile,
There is attached a plot plan of the area, I have marked
in yellow the areas that I believe should be examined.
Awaiting your visit, I remain
V v truly yours,l"
