CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 4, 1982
Council received the following letter which had been sent
by the Lodi Racquetball and Swim Club requesting that another
look be given to their parking situation.
"!�► purpose in writing you is to request that another look
may be given to the parking situation -at Lodi Racquetball and
Swim Club. It has been almost eight months since the "No
Parking* signs have been installed by the City. Of course,
to say the least, this has affected our business. We have,
in all honesty, done all the City has asked us to do since
the inception of this. project. We installed a frontage
rohd with sidewalks and gutters at a cost of $40,000, which
was then given to the City -as a gift. We installed a new
parking lot in the rear of Max Hittle's home on our south
side at a cost of $8,000, plus a monthly lease payment of
$500.00.
The council asked us to look for property to purchase. We
have, but to no avail. The northside property is up for
sale, but at a price that is beyond our means and i i kewi se
on our southside. The property is up for sale, but beyond
our means. The property directly behind us is not up for i
sale, so that leaves us with parking in the leased property;
in our front parking lot and on the east side of the frontage
toad and on the east side of Hutchins.
-I have waited until now to attemp to re -open discussions with
--you hoping a change of decision aright be made on your part.
I asked Jack Nonsko to send me copies of the proposals
wde to the Council back in May, 1981. In looking them over,
you will notice that the Public Works Department suggested
►to the City Council that they approve the "modified design",
r ,which is the last page of a group of 12 (Exhibit "H"). =
Of course, as you know, the previous Co,mcil decided to
accept Exhibit "F" which, as said before, has caused
several problems:
I. Parking tickets to our customers!
2. Difficulty of large trucks to travel in and out of
our business.
34- Lack of parking spaces.
Ve would, at this time, appreciate your consideration
and acceptance of the Public Works proposal dated,
May 18, 1981. We would also appreciate it if you would
look'at Exhibit "G', which is the design that would suit
us most. Of course, the advantages would be:
I. No more parking tickets, which would relieve the
Police Department to move important work and re -
lien the frustration of our customers in having to
pay $20.00 for a ticket because they parked on the
wrong side of the frontage road.
2. It would gine rs ten "additional" parking spaces
in Exhibit "8" or_Tjrl„ r► additional spaces in
Exhibit "G".
3. It would allow large bucks to come into the business
from the south and continue north from the frontage
road.
Of course, we would help for whatever cost would be incurred
to install stripping, signs or blacktop over the present
dirt area between the frontage road and Hutchins; and,
as always, we will cooperate 100x.
-Thank you for your time in listening to our request, and
we look forward to an action on your part that will help
relieve our present situation."
Most sincerely,
Gary J. Vochatzer
General Partner
Staff presented the following three alternates, explaining
each in detail and presenting diagrams for Council's
perusal:
Alternate No. -1 - Leave existinq signing.
This existing situation appears to be working, however, has
apparently caused frustration to those customers of the
.Lodi Racquetball facility who elect to park in the "no
Parking" zone.
Alternate No. 2 - Provide angle parking on one side.
This essentially makes a parking lot out of the frontage
road. This provides 17 parking stalls over the existing
or design alternate. Based on the comments in the staff
report-, it is not recommended that this alternate be
considered.
Alternate No. 3 - Modified existing. 1
This modified design provides one-way traffic and parking
on both sides north of the Lodi Racquetball Club driveway.
This would provide for an approximate additional 10
parking places, however, would require construction of a
driveway exit from the frontage road to Hutchins Street
"at the Racquetball Clubs north property line, If it is :ter
felt that additional parking is needed and that this
,-felt that
to should be considered, it is recommended that the.;;
f folloywing conditions be applied: .

which must be removed for the construction of the
