HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - September 7, 1983 (36)Agenda item K-5 - "Approve appeal of Cochran Road Property
Owner regarding City requirements, re: Wfsite
Improvements" was introduced by City Manager Glaves.
Public Works Director Jack Ronsko gave the following report
concerning the matter to the Council and presented diagran
of the subject area for Council's perusal.
In August of 1980, the owners of 2025 Cochran Road signed an
agreement with the City of Lodi agreeing to "install curb,
gutter, sidewalk, street lights, grading and, paving in
conformance with standard City Policy, upon demand of the
City and in no event later than five years from the date of
execution of this agreement."
In September of 1982, the owners of corner parcel at 2041
Cochran Road entered into a different, but similar
agreement. This agreement and the reason for deferring
their irprovement was discussed at the Septenher 15, 1982,
Council meeting. the City Council concurred in the
postponement of improvements and the requiring of all
improvements on the north side of Cochran Road (Peach to
W.I.D. Canal) when the 2001/2009 Cochran Road parcel
develops.
Recentiv, Dallas and Willa Paul have been discussing with
the Assistant City Engineer the possible development of the
2001/2009 Cochran Road parcel. Council received a copy of a
letter from the Pauls dated August 11, 1982, requesting the
City to consider a phased development plan for the
improvements west of their parcel. The letter requests that
the City not call for all the improvements on Cochran Road
and that the property owners be allowed to only install the
curb and gutter at this time. The installation of the
sidewalk and street lights would take place some time in the
.future.
The Pauls are also asking the City to be responsible for all
street paving fronting 2017, 2025, 2033, and 2041 Cochran
Road. Under present policy, if the owners of 2017 and 2033
cI acted to put in just their curb arid, gutter at this time,
the City would do any necessary paving to complete the
street. However, the City has an agreement with 2025 and
2041 Cochran which makes them re ponsible for their paving.
It is felt that a far reaching precedent would be set if the
City picked up the paving cost on the 2025 and 2041 Cochran
parcels.
If the City were to call for all the irrprovements as they
had discussed in Septeffber 1982 (i.e. 2025 and 2041 Cochran
under their agreement with City and 2017 and 2033 Cochran
under a Streets and Highway Code laprovement Act), the
following actions would have to take place:
1. City would have to first acquire 7-} feet of additional
right-of-way from parcels at 2017 and 2033 Cochran Road.
2. City would have to call for improvements at 2025 and
2041 Cochran Road.
3. Once irrprovements uvider Paul's proposed development
(2001/2009 Cochran) and the improvement at 2025 and 2041
Cochran were installed. the City would then call for
improvements at 2017 and 2033 Cochran under a Streets
and Highway Code Inprovement Act.
['txxier this procedure, all of the Cochran Road improvements
eculd not be constructed under one contract, which is the
preferred method.
Therefore, if the Council wants full inprovements in subject
area, Staff suggested that the following procedure be
considered:
1. City would call for improvement at 2025 and 2041 C)dxran
Road to be installed at the sb--e time as Paul's
development at 2001/2009 Cochran.
2. At 2017 and 2033 Cochran Road, the City could *rade
curb, gutter and sidewalk installation for street right
of dedication.
Right-of-way costs $2,000 - $3,000
Curb, Gutter & Sidewal:: Costs $3,000 - 3,500
3. City would pick up paving cost only at 2017 and 2033
Cochran.
4. The (5) property owners on Cochran Road would all share
it the cost of one street light ($1500±).
The following residents of the area addressed the Council
regarding the matter:
a) Dallas Paul, 2001/2009 Cochran Road, Lodi
b) Ion Schoek. 2025 Cochran Road, Lodi
c) Claude Lewis, 2033 Cochran Road, Lodi
d) W. and Mrs. Norman Carlin, 2041 W. Cochran Road, Lodi
e) his. Christine Nielson, 2017 W. C;oehran Road, Lodi
f) W. 4olm Zabel Is, prior owner of parcel on Cochran Road
A very lengthy discussion followed with questions being
directed to Staff and to those residents who had given
testimony.
On moll^of Council Menber h'IUrphy, Snider second, Council
determ ned that the City would call for curb and gutter
inprov.ments pursuant to existing agreements at 2025 and
2041 (ochran Road to be installed at the same time as Paul's
development at 2001/2009 Cochran; further, Council
determined that at 2017 and 2033 Cochran Road, the City
would trade curb and gutter installation for street right of
way dedication. It was :urther determined that the property
