Dear Mr. de la Tore:
At the March 4, 1987 Council meeting the Lodi City Council received the
February 23, 1987 Planning Caffftission Report which indicated that the
Lodi Planning Colmission reccvmended that the Ccurty Planning Division
approve the request of Bruce Towne on behalf of Johnnie Khan, President
of the Islamic Cemetery Association, for a 65,000 grave cemetery to be
located between Beckman Road and State Route 99, approximately 2,640
feet south of Kettleman Lane in an area zoned GA -40, General
Agriculture. In its reccmrendation the Planning Counission noted a
concern about the long-term maintenance of the cemetery.
Following discussion regarding the matter, the Lodi City Council, by
motion action, indicated its desire to go on record opposing the state
statute that allows religious organizations owning cemeteries not to be
responsible for their long-term maintenance.
Further, Council directe4 that a letter regarding this action be
forwarded to the San Joaquin County Planning Commission.
Very truly Yours,
Alice M. Reimche
City Clerk
