FINDINGS AND MITIGATING MEASURES
FOR
1985 Ham Lane Improvement Project
Lodi Avenue to Elm Street
1. The Ham Lane Improvement Project for the 1985 Capital Improvement Program shall
consist of Alternate B -i which is widening to the ultimate width on the west side
only (40 ft. west of the centerline).
2. The present Master Plan for Ham Lane - 80 ft. total ultimate width, centered on the
centerline - is retained for future development. This shall be re-recorded so that
it will not be overlooked by Title Companies preparing title reports on future
sales on the east side of Ham Lane.
3. The City of Lodi finds that the significant impacts of the proposed project - loss
of trees and landscaping, construction, noise and change in neighborhood character
are mitigated to a moderate level by the measures described in Item 5 below and
the adoption of Alternate B-1.
4. The City of Lodi finds that the significant impact - noise - cannot be mitigated
to a less significant level with, or without the project or any of the alternatives,
and that the need to provide for orderly traffic flow in the City overrides this
impact.
5. The following mitigation measures shall be included in the project in order to
reduce the environmental impact of the project:
a. Trees within the undeveloped portion of the street right-of-way shall
be retained wherever practical, and to that end, that the sidewalk
width be reduced from five feet to four feet in the vicinity of such
trees.
b. Trees shall be offered at no cost to property owners and residents
from the City's tree planting program. Such trees shall be provided
at no cost to the owner/resident for their planting. Tree location
and planting information shall be provided.
C. Construction specifications shall include requirements for noise abate-
ment incl udi ng I i:mi t i ng equipment usage to the hours of 7:30 A.M. to
5:30 P.M.
d. With the property owner's consent, automatic garage door openers shall
be provided where the distance between the new back of sidewalk and
garage door is less than 20 feet.
e. As part of the project, fences, sprinklers, signs and miscellaneous
private improvements lying within the limits of construction will be
relocated at no expense to the property owner.
