HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - February 19, 1986CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 19, 1$86 -_ t.i REQUEST FOR O-JTSIDE WATER SERVICE FOR 1207 E. HIGHWAY 12 APPROVED A request for cutside water service for 1207 E. Highway 12 (Kettleman Lane) was received from the First Church of the Nazarene. Council was apprised that the church is asking that the City consider allowing them to install a small line in Kettleman Lane to their property on a temporary basis with the understanding that when The Meadows property develops, they would pay the reimbursement for their frontage, estimated at $4,000, and all costs associated with making a new tie to that main. This, however, does not confonn to the requirements of the present City Code. In Staff's discussions with the developer's Engineer for The Meadows, the scheduled timing for the Kettleman Lane improvements (including watermain installation) was more than a year off. However, the developer has indicated that he is willing to move the installation of the water line forward in order to be a good neighbor to the Church. The City would enter into an agreement with the developer and when the Church tied into the watermain, the developer would be reimbursed for half of the cost of the main across the church frontage (approximately $4,000)• The Church would be responsible for all cost associated with their. service and meter installation. Following discussion with questions being directed to staff and to a representative of the Church who was in the audience (Mr. Albert Baumgartner, 320 E. Tokay, Lodi), Council, on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Olson saco;0, approved the request for outside water service and directed that the Church work directly with the engineer of The Meadows regarding the subject watermain installation. - -- t 9 b Y "r rVON MM 1S i .'A Z ',a 4 2 R s CITY O O D I COUNCIL COMMUNICATION PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENIT TO: City Council FROM: City Manager DATE: February 11, 1986 SUBJECT: Request for Outside Water Service 1207 E. Highway 12 (Kettleman Lane) RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council review the request for outside City water service from the First Church of the Nazarene and take appropriate action. Request attached as Exhibit A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi City Code Section 13.08.02 Rates Outside City reads as follows: "The city will not normally serve water outside the city limits. In those cases where it is authorized by the city council, the rates shall be established by resolution of the city council." The entire section related to requesting water, service and watermain extension requirements is attached as Exhibit B. In the past, the City has provided fire protection and standby water service to several industries on the east side of Lodi in exchange for easements and access or well drilling rights. The City has also granted domestic service to several residences on the west side that were part of an incomplete annexation that has since been completed. Many years ago service was granted to 3 parcels on East Lockeford that are still in the county. Most recently, water service was granted to a home on Almond Drive that is ad- jacent to the City limits but could not be annexed because of the "Green Belt." This service was granted subject to the extension of the water main across the frontage of their property in conformance with Section 13.08.100 of the Lodi City Code as well as agreement to annex when applicable. Under the present City Code, to provide service to the Church, would require them to extend the existing 10" watermain from its present termination, ap- proximately 250 feet east of the Church's property line, westerly across their frontage. The cost of the 10" extension, less oversize credits, is estimated to be approximate]- $17,000. See the attached sketch labeled Exhibit C. One half of this could be expected to be reimbursed if and when the Kettleman Lane frontage of the Meadows project develops (reimbursement agreement and credits). In addition, there would be the cost of the 2" service across Kettleman La.ie. APPROVED: ! F FILE 40. THOMAS A. PETERSON, City Manager City Council February 11, 1986 Page 2 The Church is asking that the City consider allowing them to install a small line in Kettleman Lane to their property on a temporary basis with the under- standing that when the Meadows property develops, they would pay the re- imbursement for their frontage, estimated at $4,000, and al; costs associated with making a new tie to that main. This, however, does not conform to the requirements of the present City Code. In talking to the developer's engineer for The Meadows, the scheduled timing for the Kettleman Lane improvements (including watermain installation) was more than a year off. However, the developer has indicated that he is willing to move the installation of the water line forward in order to be a good neighbor to the Church. The City would enter into an agreement with the de- veloper and when the Church tied into watermain, the developer would be re- imbursed for half of the cost of the main across the Church frontage (approximately $4,000). The Church would be responsible for all cost associated with their service and meter installation. Therefore, it is recommended that the First Church of the Nazarene work directly with the developer's engineer. This solution appears to be in everyone`s best interest and the developer, John Cheney, should certainly be commended for his good -neighbor policy. ack L.

Sub- sequent treatments solved the bacteria problem, but we have been unable to solve the nitrate problem. The County Health authorities have informed us that we have two options; to install a filtering system at the point where the water is pumped (very costly), or plug our present well and drill a new one. Drilling a new well would be very costly as well; with the added risk that there is no guarentee that the new well would be free of the problems that presently plague us. We have a problem! In searching for an answer, the question was raised: Is there a possibility that the city might help pis? We checked with Planning, 6 Zoning and were encouraged to submit the matter to the City Council. Our request is for permission from the city to have a temporary water service established. This would in- volNe running a temporary tine under Highway 12 ((.est Kiettleman Ln.), and along the Highway for about 250 feet, to where the City's water line ends.on the south side of Kettleman Ln. All costs would of course be taken care of by us, and we would simply be buying our water from the city. Thank you for your consideration; Sincerely, Charles W.
