SPICIFIC PLANS
1. The Har.-, Lane Improvement Project for the 1985 Capital
Improvements Program shall consist of Alternate B-1 which is
widening to the ultimate width on the west side only (40 ft.
west of the centerline).
2. The present Master Pian for Ham Lane - 80 ft. total
ultimate width, centered on the centerline - is retained for
future development. This shall be re-recorded so that it
will not be overlooked by Title Companies preparing title
reports on future sales on the east side of Ham Lane.
3. The City of Lodi finds that the significant impacts of
the proposed project - loss of trees and landscaping,
construction noise and change in neighborhood character are
mitigated to a moderate level by the measures describ�,d in
Item 5 below and the adoption of Alternate B-1.
4. The City of Lodi finds that the significant impact -
noise - cannot be mitigated to a less significant level with,
or without tir` project or any of the alternatives, and that
the need to provide for orderly traffic flow in the City
overrides this irrpact.
5. The following mitigation measures shall be included in
the project in order to reduce the environmental impact of
the project:

right-of-way shall be retained wherever practical, and to
that end, that the sidewalk width be reduced from five feet
to four feet in the vicinity of such trees.
b. Trees shall be offered at no cost to property owners and
residents from the City's tree planting program. Such trees

for noise aba.terr�ent including limiting equipment usage to the
hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
