HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - August 4, 1982 (41)TURNER/CLUFF RIGHT Agenda item K-6 "Clarification of Turner/Cluff Road right -of
OF -WAY way" was introduced by Staff. The following Staff report
was presented by Public Works Director Ronsko:
In January of this year, the City Council received a copy of
the attached letter dated January 14, 1982, from Morris and
Wenell Architects requesting that the City purchase the
right-of-way fronting the Jerome and Snell parcels in order
that Turner Road could be constructed to its full width to
accommodate the anticipated traffic from the proposed Cal
Cushion Development within the Willow Oaks Industrial
Park. The Council then gave staff direction to obtain
appraisals on the Jerome and Snell parcels. At the following
Council meeting a memo dated March 5, 1982, was reviewed with
the City Council. The Council indicated that the questions
within. this, memo would be dnswrered upon obtaining the appraisals
for the Snell and Jerome properties.
The Council has now directed staff to proceed on the acquisition
of the Jerome property and the Snell appraisal. Therefore,
the following questions from the March 5 memo still need
- clarification:
1. Since Cal Cushion is apparently not going to develop
within the Willow Oaks Subdivision, does this change
any previous Council positions?
2. Is it the Council's intention to also acquire the Turner
Road rights-of-way fry ting the Anagnos property?
3. Once the right-of-way is obtained, is it the City's
intent to pay for any of the widening of Turner Road?
The estimated right-of-way acquisition costs and construction
costs are shown below:
Total R/W Costs Construction Cost Total
$509000 to $180,000 $53,000 $103,000 t6.$233,000
Based on the attached letter fro* the City Attorney dated`
January 21, 1982, the Willow Oaks Industrial Park developer, _
apparently indicated to the City Attorney that -they
(Willow Oaks Industrial Park) would pay for the street
improvements fronting the Snell and Jerome properties 1f
the City purchased the right-of-way.
4. If Turner Road is to be widened at. City cost, is the
widening -to take place in front of Jerome. Snell and
Anagnos properties?
5. If widening is to take place, is it the Council's intent
to construct all of the street improvements including
parking lane, curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lights, or
only those improvements necessary to provide ultimate'
travel lane?

Council received the following letter which had been sent
by the Lodi Racquetball and Swim Club requesting that another t
look be given to their parking situation. its
F �i � }• �y.yv.er�
'4b► purpose in writing you is to request that another look `.
my 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, v
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
roW with sidewlks 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 p&yment 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 likewise
on our Southside. The property is up for sale, but beyond L
our means. The property directly behind us is not up for s
sale, so that leaves us with parking in the leased property%
in our front parking lot and on the east side of the frontage
road 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 might be made on your part.
j. I asked Jack Ronsko to send me copies of the proposals
.T� . made to the Council back in May. 1961. In. looking them over*
Vwill notice that the Public Works Department suggested
i :to the city Council that they approve the "modified design",

which is the -last page of a group of 12 (Exhibit "H")

Staff presented the following three alternates, explaining
each in detail and presenting diagrams for Council's
perusal:
Alternate No. l -Leave existing signing.
c
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" zona.
,:• i Alternate No. 2 -Provide angle parking on one side.
�} This essentially makes a parking lot out of the frontage
r road. This provides 17 parking stalls over the existing
,,•w,, or design alternate. Based on the comments in the staff
F' f report, it is not recommended that this alternate be
r L considered.
Alternate No. 3 - Modified existing.
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 Club's north property line. If it is
felt that additional parking is needed and that this
alternate should be considered, it is recommended that the,
following conditions be applied:
C e o r==
accept Exhibit "F" which, as said. before, has caused a,...
F•., J•�
several problems:
I. Parking tickets to our customers! T r
2. Difficulty of large trucks to travel in and out of>
our business.
3. Lack of parking spaces.s,R'
We would, at this time, appreciate your consideration
� ;. J,����s� •.
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:
1. No more parking tickets, which would relieve the z ?f
Police Department to more important work and re- z `'
lieve 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.
L M S
2. It would give us ten "additional" parking spaces y -;
in Exhibit "H" or- irty additional spaces in r� s
Exhibit "G'.`
3. It would allow large trucks 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 press -It �a
dirt area between the frontage road and Hutchins; and,
as always, we will cooperate 100%.
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.','` _ +"
