February 13, 1981 SUBJECT: Denial of Loading zone at 321 W. Turner Road REC"ENDED ACTION: That the City Council deny the request for N loading zone at 321 W. Turner Road. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The attached letter was received from Reverend Oscar Gross requesting a loading zone on Turner Road for the Gross Convalescent Hospital. The request was discussed with Reverend Gross and a determination of the exact request is shown on the attached sketch. It appears that adequate room for offsite loading of supplies for the rest home is available onsite, and the installation of a loading gone will preclude the use of this street frontage by visitors and others in the area for 24 hours a day when the apparent benefit to the rest home is marginal. Historically, we have attempted to limit loading zones, particularly for single use areas, partly because of the precedence setting of such approvals. It is realized that the view problem is one we have in many areas of town on occasion, but controlling it with a loading zone seems a misuse. The public street Is for public use and while parking of commercial vehicles in the area may be detrimental to the rest home on occasion, the establishment of numerous loading zones to be even more detrimental to the public as a whole. It Is recommended that the request be denied. Reverend Gross has been informed of our recommendation and may very well be in the a dience if you desire additional Information Bron him. C� Jac L.

Pine Street Lodi, CA 95240 Dear Mr. Davis: This letter is in regard to the street problems with which the Gross Convalescent Hospital must cope. This issue was discussed with you in December as you and I have viewed the street situation at that time. I am requesting a permit for a loading zone on 321 W. Turner Road in front of the convalescent hospital permitting delivery of supplies to the facility uninterrupted by other vehicles which are using aur• space for their parking needs. Heavy semi -trucks are often causing a complete block to viewing from inside the dining and living rooms. Best indications are two photo prints which were taken at different days. These and other vehicles also occupy the street and make it unacce:ssible to visitors. If this request needs approval of the city council or any other, authority, then please be so kind and present it to them. Thank you for considering my application. ro Sincerely,M61LEIVIEW ..__. Rev. Oscar Gross 2 2 MI._ Administrator y POST OFFICE BOX 67 a 321 WEST TURNER ROAD, LODI, CALIFORNIA 35240 ® (209) 334.-3760 � - :. � r :, .�.`: �'>
