Environmental Impact Report
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is a 52.61 acre residential development. The project
will contain 142 single-family lots anti 176 cluster homes. The project will
also contain a 6.1 acre recreational lake that will also function as a temporary
storm drainage basin.
The subject site is currently designated low-dcasity residential in the Lodi
General Plan. This designation permits an overall residential density of 1-10
units per acre. The parcel is currently zoned GA -40 (San Joaquin County) and
will require a rezoning to P -D, Planned Development. The project will require
an annexation to the City of Lodi.
LOCATION
The project will be located on the east side of Lower Sacramento Road, 1/4 mile
north of Kettleman Lane (Highway 12). The parcel is designated as San Joaquin
County Assessor's parcel 027-040-21.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
. 1. Loss of 52.0 acres of prime agricultural soil. Parcel is Class 1 soil made
up of Hanford Sandy Loam; well suited for a variety of agricultural uses.
Development will mean loss of agricultural use of land.
Urbanization could affect adjacent agricultural parcels by restricting normal
spraying and cultivation operations. Vandalism, trespassing and homeowner's
complaints could.increase.
2. Traffic will increase on Lower Sacramento Road and Vine Street. The project
will generate approximately 2,524 vehicle trips per day when fully developed.
3. Air pollution will increase slightly as a result of increased vehicular
traffic. Increase will be less than 1% of San Joaquin County emissions.
4. Residential units adjacent to Lower Sacramento Road will be subject to
noise levels that exceed recommended levels for residential units.
5. Approximately 265 additional school -aged children could be added to the
already overcrowded L.U.S.D. Providing adequate classroom space could be
a problem.
MITIGATING MEASURES
1. No real mitigation possible for loss of agricultural land. Entire Lodi
area is prime agricultural land. Property is within the General Plan area
for the City of Lodi and is designated for residential use.
iii
X01
2. Additional traffic can be mitigated by proper design and construction of
the street system, and by limiting access to Lower Sacramento Road.
3. Noise levels in residential structures can be reduced by shielding the
units with a sound wall along Lower Sacramento Road. Also design
features can be built into the units (insulation, doub)e-glazzd windows,
etc.) to reduce noise levels inside of the units.
4. impaction of schools can be mitigated by the developer financially assisting
the L.U.S.D. to provide additional classroom space. The developer has
signed an agreement with the L.U.S.D. to pay an agreed upon amount to the
school district.
ALTERNATIVE TO THE PROJECT
1. "No build" alternative. Eliminates all impacts by leaving the site in
agricultural use.
2. Different mix of residential and/or commercial uses. Does not significantly
improve or change the environmental impacts of the proposed project. Loss
of agricultural land is not affectnd.
IRREVERSIBLE AND LONG-TERM IMPACTS
1. Loss of agricultural land is permanent and irreversible.
CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
1. Loss of agricultural land is cumulative. In the past years, several hundred
acres ofA and have been developed with various residential, commercial and
Industrial projects. Because the City of Lodi is entirely surrounded by
prime agricultural land, all future projects will utilize agricultural land.
2. There is a cumulative impact on the L.U.S.D. The L.U.S.D. includes much of
northern San Joaquin County, including the City of Lodi and north Stockton.
It is estimated that there is the potential for an additional $,000 students
In projects currently approved and in some state of development. This
Includes Lodi, north Stockton and the unincorporated County areas. This
would seriously affect the L.U.S.D.
The L.U.S.D. is working with developers in the north County area to assist
the District financially to provide additional classroom space. Many,
including the Filley Ranch developer, have signed agreements with the
District.
Additionally, there is a Countywide Task Force working on permanent
solutions to the school financing problem.
GROWTH -INDUCING IMPACT
1. The project will have a growth -inducing impact on that area of Lodi.
Development of this parcel will affect properties to the south, down to
Kettleman Lane. Residential development could affect the operation of
O
M
adjacent agricultural operations.
Additionally, the installation of utilities in this area could encourage:
further development of the area. The lake/basin concept could, with
Council approval, be utilized by other property owners and developers.

Environmental Impact Report
1. PROJEGT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a 52.6± acre residential project located in the
City of Lodi. The project would contain a total of 320 units of housirsg. There
would be 142 single-family lots and 176 units of cluster housing. The single-
family lots would occupy 34t acres. The cluster housing would occupy 11.9-'
acres with a density of 15 units per acre. The overall project density will
be 6.1+ units per acre.
The project will also contain a 6.i+ acre lake. The lake will serve a dual
purpose. It will function both as a recreational feature for the homeowner's
and as a temporary storm drainage retention facility for the project. (see
Project Map).
The proposed project will require the following: Annexation to the City of
Lodi; granting of a City of Lodi Zoning classification of Planned Development
(P -D); approval of a specific project plan; and approval of a subdivision map.
11. SITE LOCATION S DESCRIPTION
The project site contains 52.6± acres and is located adjacent to the existing
Lodi City Limits. The parcel is San Joaquin County Assessor's parcel 027°-040-21.
The area is located east of Lower Sacramento Road and approximately 1300' north
of Highway 12 (Kettleman Lane). (See Vicinity Map).
The 52.6 acre parcel is the remainder of what once was an 80 acre parcel. The
northern 37.4 acres were annexed to the City of Lodi several years ago, and
are currently being developed as a part of the Sun -West Subdivision. A portion
of that land is also being used as a temporary storm drainage facility for the
Sunwest area.
The project property is currently being farmed. Approximately 8 acres are
planted in vineyards with the remainder planted in field crops. There is also
a farm residence and related structures located on the property.
The area surrounding the project site is primarily residential or agricultural.
On the north are residential subdivision and Lodi Community Hospital. On the
east, across the Woodbridge Irrigation Canal (W.I.D.) are residential subdivi-
sions. To the south are agricultural properties with scattered residences,
a church and a commercial business. To the west are agricultural parcels and
a concentration of small lot rural residences located along Taylor Road and
Lower Sacramento Road
111. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING
The project parcel currently is designated General Agriculture with a 40 acre;
minimum parcel size (GA -40), by the San Joaquin County General Plan. The
-1-
City of Lodi General Plan designates the area low density residential which
allows 1-10 units per acre.
The applicant is requesting a City zoning classification of Planned Development,
(P -D). The zoning and the proposed overall project density of 6.1 units per
acre meets the requirements of the residential -low density general plan designa-
tion.
IV. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
A. TOPOGRAPHY
The project site and the surrounding area are generally flat with elevations
of approximately 40-45 feet above sea level. The land is currently planted
in vineyards and field crops. It is probable that the land was leveled
some time in the past to facilitiate surface irrigation. The parcel contains
no natural drainage channels or other topographic features.
B. HYDRAULICS
There are no natural water features located on the project site. The
Woodbridge Irrigation Canal runs along the east property line and is a
source for agricultural irrigation to this and other properties in the
area. The property does not lie within the floodplain of the Mokelumne
River and would not be affected during a 100 year flood.
Except for properties served by the Woodbridge Irrigation, District Canal,
the majority of land in the Lodi area, including the City of Lodi, is
served by groundwater. There are existing private agricultural and
domestic wells on the property.
The proposed project includes a 6.1 acre recreational lake. The lake will
also serve rs a temporary storm drainage holding facility until the City
can construct a permanent basin in the area and the storm drain outfall line
to Beckman Park pumping station. The source of water for the lake will be
the existing agricultural well and water from the W.I.D. Canal. The developer
has an agreement with the W.I.D. to use district water during any period that
the W.I.D. has surplus water available. This agreement may require a State
permit because of previous water rights contracts. The agricultural well
will serve as a backup source of water for the lake.
The 6.1 acre lake will contain approximately 30-37 acre feet of water,
based on an average depth of 5-6 feet. It is estimated that an additional
15-20 acre feet will be required annually to replace water loss to
evaporation.
The City Water Department reports that the average daily water consumption
per capita in Lodi is 270 gallons per day. This figure includes commer-
cial and unmetered industrial usis as well as residential uses.
The following water consumption chart breaks down the various water uses
by acre feet/acre year for different development zones.

The proposed development has the following number of acres in the above
described uses.
No. of Acre Ft./ Total No. of Acre
Use No. of Acres Acre/Year feet/Acre Year
Single-family 34 3.1 105.4
Multi -family 11.9 2.4 28.6
134.0
The combined residential acreages will use approximately 134 acre feet per
year. Adding the 15-20 acre feet of water needed to replenish the lake
annually, the total annual water use for the project will be approximately
149-154 acre feet.
Using figures provided by the San Joaquin County Farm Advisor for agricul-
tural water use, we can make some water use comparisons. The average
vineyard requires approximately 35 inches of water annually. Natural
rainfall provides approximately 9 inches of the annual demand. The
remaining 26 inches is -supplied by irrigation. Converted to acre feet,
each acre of vineyard will use approximately 2.2 acre feet of water per
year, excluding rainfall.
The 52.6 acres of the project x 2.2 acre feet = approximately 115_7 acre
feet of water required by the agricultural operation annually. This is
close to the 149-154 acre feet required annually by the proposed
development.
C. SOIL CONDITIONS
The soil type of the project site is Hanford Sandy Loam. The surface soil
of the Hanford Sandy Loam consists of an 8 to 14 inch layer of light,
grayish brown, soft friable sandy loam which has a distinct grayish
cast when thoroughly dry. The matrial grades downward into a subsoil'
I of slightly darker and richer brown soil.
Agriculturally, Hanford Sandy Loam is one of the best soils. It is used
in the production of orchard, vineyard and other intensive perennial crops.
In the Lodi area this soil is primarily used for grape vineyards. The
soil conservation service rates Hanford Sandy Loam as Class 1 (the highest
rating) and the Sto rie Index rates it at 95 percent for the ability to
produce crops.
The soil is also rated good for construction purposes. The bearing
capacity of the soil is 2,000 lbs. per square foot. it does not have
expansive qualities and will support most structural building loads.
The 1978 edition of the Uniform Building Code designates Lodi as being
in Seismic Zone 3, one that requires the strictest design factors for
lateral forces.

r
The project will contain a man-made lake. The lake will be excavated and
the soil used on-site. Soils studies done by J. H. Kleinfelder K Associates,
geologist and engineers for Filley Ranch, indicate the lake will not create
soil problems if constructed according to sound engineer+ng practices.
(J. H. Kleinfelder b Associates Soils Investigation for Filley Ranch,
1981.)
D. SEISMIC HAZARD
Earthquake faults are not found in the immediate vicinity of the subject
parcel. The nearest faults are approximately 14 miles to the south and
west. The most probable sources of strong ground motion are from the
San Andreas Fault, Hayward Fault, the Livermore Fault and the Calaveras
Fault, all located in the San Francisco Bay area.
E. BIOTIC CONDITONS
The site has been cleared of natural vegetation and replaced with
cultivated crops. The property currently contains grape vineyards and
field crops. The type of plants and wildlife found on the site are
common to lands in the agricultural areas surrounding Lodi. There are
no known rare or endangered species of plant or animal located on the
project site.
F. ATMOSPHERIC CONDITONS
Air Quality in the San Joaquin Valley is affected by a combination of
climatology and topography. Topographically, San Joaquin County is
located approximately in the middle of the Sacramento/San Joaquin Valley.
The valley has a trough-like configuration that acts as a trap for
pollutants. Mountain ranges surrounding the valley restrict horizontal
air movement and frequent temperature inversions prevent vertical air
movement. The inversion forms a lid over the valley trough, preventing
the escape of pollutants.
Climatology also affects the air quality. High summer temperatures
accelerate the formation of smog. This, combined with summer high
pressures which create low wind speeds and summer temperature inversions
to create the potential for high smog concentrations.
San Joaquin County air quality is not in compliance with National Air
Quality Standards.

The primary source of air pollution generated by the development will be
from vehicular traffic. The trip generation est mates are based on data
from the Institute of Traffic Engineers.
Single -Family Residential:
Based on 9 vehicle trip ends per unt, the 142 units will generate
1278 vehicle trips per day.
Attached Housing Units:
Based on 7 vehicle trip ends per unit, the 178 units will generate
1246 vehicle trips per day.
Total vehicle trip generation will be 2,524 Vehicle trips per
weekday generated by the proposed development.
s
There is no specific data for the City of Lodi, so information was generated
based on the data for San Joaquin County. The City of Lodi was assumed to
generate 9.9% of the total for San Joaquin County. The following emission
data was generated:
*Figures in Tons day
Filley Ranch would account for less than 1% of the total for San Joaquin County.
This is a worst-case situation and the figure for Filley Ranch is probably
higher than what will actually be generated. (See Appendix I for Sample Work
Sheet).
G. NOISE
The primary source of noise in the area of the proposed project will be
vehicular traffic on Lower Sacramento Road. Lower Sacramento Road serves
as a major north -south collector street connecting the north San Joaquin
County area with Lodi and Stockton.
City of Lodi noise contour maps based on 1995 traffic projections show
the following:
70 decibles to 60' of the roadway
65 decibles to 160' of the roadway
Readings are based on Ldn noise criteria.

75 decibles or greater Clearly unacceptable
This data indicates that noise levels up to 60' of the roadway are
unacceptable and noise levels up to 160' of the roadway are classified
as conditionally acceptable:
As currently proposed, a portion of the parcels designated for cluster
housing units will fall within the high noise area.
V.... UTILITIES
A.
B.
STORM DRAINAGE
The City of Lodi operates a system of interconnected storm drainage basins
to provide temporary storage for peak storm runoff. The runoff is stored
until the water can be pumped into the W.I.D. Canal at a controlled rate.
The City does not currently have a basin to serve the area of the Fill ley
Ranch project.
In order to provide storm drainage for the project, the applicant is
proposing to use the recreational lake as a temporary storm drainage basin.
The Take on the subject property will Fond rhe storm drainage from the
project during periods of peak runoff. As the storm.subsides, the runoff
from the lake will be pumped into the City's storm drainage system and
eventually pumped into the W.I.D. Canal.
In addition to the lake, the project will require the construction of a
major line connecting the project lake to the City system. The line would
run along the Community Drive right-of-way.
The lake will be designed to accommodate the project runoff from a 100 year
storm. The design will permit a rise of 2-3 feet in the level of the lake
durinq periods of heavy rainfall.
The lake only provides a temporary solution to the storm drainage. At
some future date, a permanent storm drainage basin and approximately 2
miles of major outfall line will be constructed south of the project site.
When this is done, the projectsite will then serve only a recreational
purpose. Storm water from the project will be stored in the City basin
G -South and will then be discharged in W.I.D. Canal at the Beckman Park
pumping station.
SANITARY SEWER
The project will be served by the City of Lodi sanitary system. The City's
existing sanitary sewer system is not adequate to handle the total sewage
from the proposed project. Sufficient grade is not available to drain all
sewage to the Lower Sacramento Road trunk line. The area east of Filley
Drive is planned to drain south to Highway 12 at Mills Avenue to a
future lift station.
C. DOMESTIC WATER
Domestic water will be provided by the City of Lodi. There are existing
lines on Lower Sacramento Road, Vine Street and Filley Drive, which will
be extended to serve the project. The City's Water Master Plan does not
include a domestic well in this area. However, a 10 -inch watermain tie to
Mills Avenue may be required in order to obtain reasonable interim fire
flows.
Water for the filling and recharge of the recreational lake will not
come from the domestic water system. The developer has a tentative
agreement with the W.I.D. Canal to use canal water for this purpose during
years that the W.I.D. has surplus water. There is also a private irriga-
tion well on the property that could be used for this purpose.
D. ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS
Electricity will be provided by the City of Lodi and natural gas will be
provided by P.G.&E. Both services can be adequately supplied to the
project with normal line extensions.
VI. COMMUNITY SERVICES
A. TRAFFIC ,& CIRCULATION (Also See Atmospheric section)
The project site will tie into the City's street system. Lower Sacramento
Road which runs along the west property line, will be the major street
serving the property. The property will also be served by extensions of
Community Drive and Filley Drive which will connect to Vine Street to the
north. Community Drive should be extended to Vine Street at this time.
Lower Sacramento Road is a major north -south street carrying traffic
between Stockton, Lodi and north county areas. Traffic counts taken by
the City of Lodi in 1979 and 1980 for Lower Sacramento Road are 7,500.
vehicle trips per day north of Vine Street and 6,500 vehicle trips per
day between Vine Street and Kettleman Lane.
The specific plan for Lower Sacramento Road requires a total right-of-way
width of 110 feet. This provides for a main thoroughfare having two
travel lanes and one emergency parking lane in each direction and also
provides for a 22 -foot center median. The Specific Plan denies access
on the east fide of Lower Sacramento Road from Kettleman Lane to Vine
Street. The developer is proposing access to Lower Sacramento Road
via a public street. This proposed access will require an amendment
to the existing Specific Plan. The developer is proposing that all
access to the cluster home parcels be taken off of interior streets and
not off of Lower Sacramento Road.
Kettleman Lane (Highway 12) is a major east -west street and is located
1/4 mire south of the project site. Kettleman Lane currently carries
10,000 vehicle trips per day between Lower Sacramento and Ham Lane. _
Kettleman Lane serves as a major connector between west and east side
of Lodi. The street also connects 1-5 and State Highway 99.
-7-
Lodi Avenue, located 1/4 mile north of the project site is a major
connector between west Lodi and the central business district. Current
traffic volumes on Lodi Avenue are 5,500 vehicle trips per day between
Lower Sacramento Road and mills Avenue and 10,000 vehicle trips per day
between Mills Avenue and Ham Lane.
Filley Drive will connect the proposed development to Sun West Subdivision
to the north. Community Drive will serve as the major north -south
collector street in the project, connecting to Vine Street to the north
and to future developments to the south.
The proposed project will have a total of 320 residential units. The re
will be 142 single-family lots and 176 units of cluster housing.
Using a factor of 9 vehicle trips per single family dwelling, the single-
family lots will generate 1,278 vehicle trips per day ( v.t./sfd x 142
units - 1,278 v.t.)
For the cluster housing we use a factor of 7 v.t. per unit. The cluster
housing would generate 1,232 v.t. per day (8 v.t./cluster unit x 176
units - 1,232 V.L.)
The total vehicle trips generated by the Filley Ranch project would be
2,510 v.t. per day.
B. POLICE L FIRE PROTECTION
The City of Lodi will provide police and fire protection to the proposed
development. The Chief of Police has indicated that the department has
no "level of reserve" which should be maintained in the city department.
He indicates that the additional service for the subject property will come
from reordering of departmental enforcement priorities. The Chief notes,
however, that this new development and other areas of the city will receive
uniform treatment with regard to service levels.
The Chief of Police will review the project plans tc, insure that the street
lighting system and building and street layout permit adequate security
surveillance by police patrol units.
The nearest fire station to the subject development is the main station
at Elm and Church Streets. The Fire Chief will review all plans to
assure adequate fire protection. He will work with the developer on the
number and location of fire hydrants and will review the project plan to
Insure adequate accessibility for fire equipment.
C. SCHOOLS
The Lodi Unified School District (LUSD) is experiencing a problem of student
overcrowding in many of its schools. Many of the schools are at maximum
capacity and the District must transport students out of their normal
attendance area to accommodate all the students.
In order to defray the costs of construction of needed new school facilities,
the City of Lodi passed City Ordinance No. 1149. This ordinance, passed
pursuant to Senate Bill 201, was enacted prior to the passage of Proposi-
tion 13 of 1978. The ordinance provided for the City Building Department
to collect a "fee" of $200 per bedroom in new residential developments.
10
Currently, lawsuits are pending regarding the legality of this type of
levy. The monies collected under the Lodi ordinance are currently being
impounded. The school district may or may not be able to use the impounded
funds and may not be able to continue the levy pending the outcome of the
litigation.
The developer has a recorded agreementwith the LUSD to provide some type
of payment to the school district. If Ordinance No. 1149 is declared
unconstitutional, the developer has agreed to pay directly to the district
a monetary amount equal to the fees established by No. 1149.
The agreement also states that the LUSD can request dedication of a school
site in lieu of payment of the fees. This would be at the discretion of
LUSD.
The proposed project will contain approximately 320 residential units.
The number of students is estimated as follmis:
Housing Type No. of Units Child Per Unit TOTAL
Single Family
homes 142 1.0 142
Cluster homes 176 0.7 123
TOTAL CHILDREN 265
The school district allocates children in new developments proportionately
among their thirteen grade system.
It can be concluded that the proposed development does not, in itself,
warrant construction of a school or schools; however, in combination with
existinq need and future development in the project area, additional
classroom space'will be required.
D. RECREATION
The proposed project provides a 6.1 acre private lake for use by the
homeowners. The lake could be used for non -motorized boating and fishing.
A one-half acre recreation area has been set aside adjacent to the west
end of the lake. The Homeowner's Association will be responsible for the
maintenance and regulation of the lake.
Additionally, there will be a permanent storm drainage basin/park south
of the project which will be constructed sometime in the future. When
constructed this will provide a 20-30f acre park and open space area built
In conjunction with the basin.

R C\
E. SOLID WASTE
Existing collection of residential solid waste within the City of Lodi
is on a weekly basis by a franchise collector. At the present time
waste is hauled directly to the Harney Lane Disposal site, a Class 11-2
landfill, by the collector; ho -never, future plans include a transfer
station and expanded resource recovery facilities at the company's head-
quarters in the eastside industrial area. Current and proposed operations
are consistent with the San Joaquin County Solid Waste Management Plan,
adopted June, 1979• The subject area is within County Refuse Service
Number 3 and the North County Disposal Area, which is served by the Harney
Lane site.
During the Fall season, city crews regularly pick up leaves, which are
currently being taken to a city site approximately 21 miles north of the
subject area, where they are picked up by a private contractor for
composting. Alternative disposal is direct haul to Harney Lane.
The subject area was within the planned urban growth area of the City
of Lodi at the time the county Solid Waste Management Plan was developed
and adopted. Solid waste volune projections used in the plan were based
on future urban development, which included the subject area. Following
are solid waste estimates based on planned and projected residential
densities.
The volume of solid waste which will be generated by the proposed
commercial area (compared to the area developing residentially) is
considered insignificant in terms of its impact on the existing and
future disposal and collection systens.
The number of units built in the project will be 320. The City's franchise
collector estimates that each residential unit in the City of Lodi generates
an average of 39 pounds of solid waste per week.
320 units x 39 pounds/week - 12,480 estimated pounds of
solid waste
VJI. SPECIAL DISTRICTS
The proposed project will affect two special districts - the Woodbridge
Irrigation, which has a canal along the east property line of the project,
and the Woodbridge Fire Protection District.
The W.I.D. will be affected in several ways. First, the W.I.D. will. be
providing surplus canal water to fill and maintain the project lake. The
developer has an agreement with the W.I.D. to utilize district water
during years when the W.I.D. has a surplus of water after all their
agricultural commitments have been met. The developer will be assessed to
some agreed upon fee for the water. This agreement may require a State
permit because of water right contracts.
-10-
Secondly, because the W.I.D. canal is an open 91tch, the District is cnn-
cerned with possible accidents involving their canal. They have requested
that the developer be required to construct a 6' chainlink fence along the
project boundary adjacent to the canal. The fence would serve as a barrier
between the project and the canal. This could be done as part of the
requirements of the project approval or as a condition of the subdivision
map. This would have to be approved by the City of Lodi.
finally, the property will be detached from W.I.D. once the property
is annexed to the City of Lodi.
The Woodbridge Fire Protection District will be affected by having
the subject property detached from their District. The City of Lodi
will take over fire protection responsibility once the pruperty is
annexed to the City. The District is concerned with the loss of
property tax funds which are lost when property is removed from
their District. The W.F.P.D. and other special districts are exper—
iencing financial problems as a result of Proposition No. 13.
Vill. HISTORIC AND ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE
There are no sites or buildings on the subject property that are designated
as historical landmarks by any federal, state or local agencies. The nearest
recorded landmarks are in the community of Woodbridge, 1-1/2 mile to the
north.
Although there are no recorded archeological surveys of the site, it is
doubtful that there are any archeological sites on the property. Known
Indian sites in the Lodi area are usually located along the banks of the
Mokelumne River, two miles to the north.
The property has been extensively cultivated for many years. There is no
record of any items of antiquity ever being unearthed on the site.
Additionally, the extensive digging and plowing to cultivate the vineyards
and the trenching to install irrigation lines would have destroyed any
archeological material.
If, during construction, some article of possible archeological interest
should be unearthed, work will be halted and a qualified archeologist called
In to examine the findings.
IX. . ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
A. ENVIROMENTAL IMPACTS
The main environmental impact of the proposed project will be the loss of the
52.0 acres of prime agricultural land. The project parcel is made up of
Hanford Sandy Loam which is rated as a Class 1 soil for agricultural produc-
tion. It is a soil type particularly well suited for the production of
grapes in the Lodi area.
If the proposed project is approved, the removal of the vineyards and the
construction of structures will terminate further use of the land for
agriculture.
-11-
_. _...._ ------- _. r,.;
Urbanization of the subject parcel ray affect the continued agricultural
operation on adjacent parcels. The presence of residential and commercial
structures may restrict or limit normal farming operations on adjacent
agricultural lands. The use of certain pesticides and herbicides may be
restricted by state regulations, particularly next to residential areas.
Cultivation and harvesting operations may result in complaints from residents
concerning noise and dust. Agricultural operations adjacent to urbanized
areas may also be subject to an increased amount of trespassing and vandalism.
The proposed project will increase traffic on Lower Sacramento Road and
possibly other streets in the area. The project is estimated to generate
2,510* vehicle trips per weekday when fully developed.
The increase in vehicular traffic will produce additional air pollution in
the immediate area of the project. The project -generated pollution will
have a localized affect on air quality, but will not significantly affect
the overall air quality of San Joaquin County. Based on a worst -situation
case, vehicular traffic generated by the development would increase overall
air pollutants by 4/10 of 1%.
The project will be located adjacent to Lower Sacramento Road, a high noise
traffic route. The project will have residential units that will fall within
areas that exceed 60 decibles of noise. The 60 decible level is generally
considered the acceptable level for noise in a residential unit.
The project will generate an estimated 274 additional school -aged children.
The addition of these students would adversely affect the LUSD and its
ability to provide adequate classroom space. The LUSD has filed a
Declaration of Impaction that states that the schools are at maximum
capacity and that new students cannot be guaranteed classroom space_
B. MITIGATION MEASURES
If the Filley Ranch project is approved and constructed, the 52.6 acres of
prime agricultural land will be removed from further agricultural use. The re
Is no practical way to mitigate this impact. The property has been within
the general plan area for the City of Lodi for many years and has been
designated for residential developnent.
The additional traffic generated by the project can be mitigated by careful
design of the project circulation system. Eliminating privater access onto
Lower Sacramento Road will reduce traffic hazards and congestion.
The residential parcels should have their street access off of interior
streets and not on Lower Sacramento Road.
Additionally, the project street design will be required to provide for
adequate future access to properties to the south. This will allow for
north -south traffic movement between Vine Street and Kettleman Lane.
-12-
The problem of high noise levels along Lower Sacramento Road and its impact
on residential structures can be mitigated in two ways. First, construction
of a sound wall along the roadway will partially shield the residential
units and reduce the noise levels by approximately 10 dBA. Second, the
design and placement of the residential units can further reduce the noise
levels. Those structures immediately adjacent to the roadway will require
n l
special Horse insulation that could include double glazed windows, extra
wall insulation, caulking of all pipe and electrical wire holes cut in the
walls, etc. Additionally, limiting the first row of houses to single story
structures will make the same barrier more effective.
The impact of the additional students on the LUSD has been at least
partially mitigated by the signing of an agreement between the developer
and the school district. The agreement provides for the payment of an
agreed upon amount of money for each residential unit to help pay for
additional classroom space.
The fees would be paid directly to the LUSD if the City -imposed "bedroom fee"
is ruled unconstitutional by the courts. If the "bedroom fee" is ruled
constitutional, the developer will pay the "bedroom fee" and will not be
required to pay any additional monies. In either case, the LUSD will
receive a payment from the development.
Additionally, there is a countywide task force working on the problem of
schtsn! financing. This task force has begun to generate recommendations
for both short and long-term solutions to the problems faced by LUSD and
other school districts in the county.
C. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROJECT
The principle alternative to the proposed project would be a "no build"
alternative. This would maintain the existing agricultural use of the land
and eliminate the adverse impacts resulting from the proposed project.
The other alternative would-be a different type of project. This could
involve a different combination of land uses, i.e., more single family/
less attached housing or less residential/some commercial, etc.
Ultimately, the second alternative would not significantly change the impacts
resulting from the project. The primary impact, the loss of agricultural
land, would result regardless of the project mix. The other impacts, traffic,
air quality, noise and school children would change slightly according to
the mix, but not enough to make a significant difference.
D. IRREVERSIBLE AND LONG TERM IMPACTS
The loss of agricultural land will be an irreversible and long-term impact.
Once the land is developed with homes and businesses, there is little likeli-
hood that the land will ever be used for agricultural purposes.
-t3-
_... ..,.......,
E. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
f.
A project will have a cumulative impact on the loss of agricultural land.
In the past year, a 90t acre development, Lakeshore Village, was approved
and is under development. Additionally, there were various residential,
commercial and industrial projects that removed perhaps another 200± acres
of agricultural land in the past several years. It is expected that
additional requests for development projects will be made in the current
year and in the future.
Unfortunately, all land in and around the City of Lodi is designated prime
agricultural land. The entire area surrounding the city is in agricultural
use. Almost every development, large or small, must utilize agricultural
land. There are no non -prime soil non-agricultural parcels around Lodi.
The residential, commercial and industrial requiremens of the city and its
residents necessitate urbanization of agricultural land.
The other significant cumulative impact is the impact on the LUSD. LUSD
estimates place the number of new students generated by developments in
Lodi and North Stockton at 5,000 students in the next few years. These
students place a strain on the District's ability to provide classroom
space, particularly in light of the fiscal problems facing schools.
Currently, developers both in Lodi and in Stockton have been working with
the LUSD to provide funds for additional classroom space. This will help
alleviate some of the short-term problems facing the schools.
F. GROWTH -INDUCING IMPACTS
The installation of various public utilities, particularly storm drainage,
will encourage development of the area. If the concept of the private
lake/storm drainage basin proves successful, it is likely that other
developments in the area will consider the same approach. This would
open the entire area up for development.
It must be noted, however, that the area is within the planning area
of the city and has been designated for low density residential develop-
ment for many years. The entire area east of the project property is
completely developed.
G. ENERGY CONSERVATION
Structures in the project will be constructed to meet State of California
Energy Standards. The standards include such things as window area,
insulation, energy efficient appliances, etc.
A majority of the lots in the project have a north -south orientation. This
orientation provides the best adaptability for both passive and active
solar design. The developer could also offer various solar design packages
as part of the construction of the homes.

We have received your Notice Of Preparation concerning the proposed develop-
ment.by applicant Ron Thomas of the 52.6 acre Tilley Ranch. We note that
the easterly line of the proposed subdivision borders the South Branch of
the District's Hain Canal. This particular canal is a continuation of the
canal that was described to you in our accom.zan;irg letter of April 23, 1931.
regarding Project Title: Kennedy Ranch, (EIR-81-1); and said canal at the
Filley Ranch Project also is approximately 50 -feet in width and carries water
at a depth of 6 -feet or more.
Likewise, the placing of a high density subdivision immediately adjacent to
our canal creates an undesirable situation; and here again, the District
Board opposes the formation of the subdivision as delineated on the tentative
map. (Tract No. 1722).
In the event that the subdivision is, in fact, nade, then we would respect-
fully request that your department insist, as a condition thereto, that an
impenetrable barrier be provided by the sudivider alcng his property line
separating the subdivision from the Woodbridge Irriration District right of
way. We would suggest that the minimum means of accomplishing this result
would be by the use of a 6 -foot cyclone fence set in concrete, and without
gates or other openings leading to the canal.

Cannot see any real problems with the plan. There
is sufficient open space either City of school
around the project area to take care of needs.
The proposed plan by the developer looks good; their
proposed open space, if properly developed, will be
adequate. Hopefully the developer will consider
play equipment and barbecue space with the proposed
open space development. A nice shade structure
covering the barbecue area would be a welcome facility
for the user until trees are able to supply needed
shade.
Generally, plan looks good.

project that has a recreational lake which may be filled with water
supplied by the Woodbridge Irrigation District. There is a potential
question about this use of water under WID's water rights. We have
discussed this matter with a representative of WID who will forx4ard
copies of the agreements between WID and the various developers to

MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Public Works Department
TO: Community Development Director
FROM: Public Works Director
DATE: August 4. 1981
SUBJECT: Environmental Impact Report for Filley Ranch (EIR 81-2)
This office reviewed the draft EIR for the Filley Ranch Development. Along
with the notations made on the attached copy, we are recommending that the
following comments also be considered:
1. On page iv under Item 2 of Mitigating Measure, the last sentence
should be eliminated and the following inserted:
"Access to Lower Sacramento Road should be limited as
required by the approved Specific Plan. If public street
access is approved to Lower Sacramento Road, there should
be no break or access through the ultimate center median
at this location.
"Community Drive from northerly boundary of this development
to Vine Street should be constructed, by the developer, in
conjunction with the development of this parcel."
2. On page 1, the last paragraph under Project Description should be re-
worded as follows:
"The proposed project will require the following: Approval
of temporary storm drainage retention concept by the City
Council; Annexation to the City of Lodi; Granting of a City
of Lodi zoning classification of Planned Development (P -D);
Approval of the Specific Project Plan and; Approval of the
Subdivision Map."
3. On page. 2, under Hydraulics,.the following sentence should be added
to paragraph 3:
"The location of the existing agricultural well should be
shown on the Filley Ranch plan and the future tentative map.
Adequate clearance from the well to all sanitary sewer lines
shall be maintained and backflow prevention will be required
on any water service to the parcel on which the existing well
is located."
4. On page 6, the last paragraph under Storm Drainage should be reworded
as follows:
"The proposed lake provides a temporary solution to the storm
drainage. At some future date a permanent drainage basin and
approximately two miles of major outfall line will be con-
structed south of the project site. When this is accomplished,

El
the project lake will then serve only a recreational purpose.
Storm water from the project will then be stored in City
Basin G -South and will then be discharged into W.I.D. Canal
at the Beckman Park pumping station.
"Since the lake will transport runoff from the public streets
to the City storm drain system, the lake will be a permanent
part of the City system and will be completely encompassed by
a public utility easement."
5. General Storm Drainage Comments:
It is proposed that construction of Master Plan storm drain lines,
k normally a City responsibility, will be paid fc- by the developer
and credited against their Master Storm Drain Acreage fees. Similar
to the Grupe Lakeshore Development, the City would not be spending
any of their existing master drainage funds towards the new development.
It should be pointed out, however, that this ty,•s of development is
breaking down the original concept of funding the City's Master Storm
Drain System. The original concept was that the City would develop
master drainage (i.e., storm drainage basins, major drainage lines
30" and larger, pumping stations, etc.) for area "A" and that the
drainage fees collected from area "A" would be used for overall
master drainage improvements and/or opening up a new area
The new area "B" would be determined by the City Council and would
only be made available at such time as area "A" was near completion.
What is happening now is that small portions of areas "C," "D" and
"E" are being developed independently and the fees collected in these
areas are being spent for the master drainage lines needed for their
development. Therefore, there is little or no development, or fees
collected, in area "A" and there are little or no fees from areas
"C," "D," and "E" going into the Master Drain fund for overall
master drainage improvements or expanding and improving service to
the easterly industrial area (i.e., upgrading Shady Acres pump station,
expansion of existing C Drainage Basin, etc.). -
The proposed development is requesting to develop out of phase with
our Master Drainage Plan. The developer proposes to divert their
drainage to the B-1 drainage area similar to the Westdale and Sunwest
developments. The attached exhibit shows a portion of the B-1 area,
Its drainage basin (Vinewood Park) and the Shady Acres pump station
which pumps the B-1 area runoff into the W.I.D. canal. The Westdale,
Sunwest and Filley areas will ultimately drain to a G South Basin and
then to the Beckman Park pump station where their runoffs will be
pumped into W.I.D.
-23-
Community Development Director
August 4, 1981
Page 3
The Shady Acres pump station is presently pumping at only 1/2 to 2/3
capacity. Monies have been allocated to redesign this pump station
and dollars are being proposed in the 1982-83 fiscal year for its
reconstruction.
The operational problem that exists, is that the B-1 drainage area
is the only one of the few drainage areas which is fully developed
and its pump station into W.I.D. (Shady Acres pump station) is not
pumping the design flows. Compounding this problem is the addition
of the Westdale area which is temporarily being pumped into the B -I
area and the Sunwest area which is also temporarily being pumped
into the B-1 area via the temporary Mills Avenue pump station.
Mills Avenue pump station was designed to handle the Sunwest area.
The Filley Ranch project is proposing to dispose of their runoff by
tying into the Sunwest area and using the Mills Avenue pump station
to divert their runoff into the B-1 drainage area. Because of the
capacity problems at Shady Acres, we cannot pump out the Sunwest
area until the Vinewood Park Basin has been drained. In adding the
Filley area to the Sunwest area, the proposed lake could not be
drained until the Sunwest area's Vine Street Basin is drained which
can't be emptied until the Vinewood Park Basin is drained. Since
° the development of the Sunwest area, we have experienced critical
situations over the last couple of years where the temporary Vine
Street Basin was nearly filled, the Vinewood Park Basin had not
° yet been emptied and new storms were being forecasted. Adding
additional drainage to the B-1 drainage area prior to the upgrading
of this Shady Acres pump station is not advisable.
6. On page 6, the last sentence under Sanitary Sewer should be reworded
as follows:
"The City's existing sanitary sewer system is not adequate to
handle the total sewage from the proposed project. Sufficient
grade is not available to drain all sewage to the Lower Sacra-
mento Road trunk line. The area east of Filley Drive is
planned to drain south to Highway 12 at Mills Avenue to a future
lift station."
7. On page 7, under Domestic Water, the last sentence of the first para-
graph should be reworded as follows:
"The City's Water Master Plan does not include a domestic well
in this area. However, a 10 inch watermain tie to Mills
Avenue may be required in order to oLtain reasonable interim
fire flows."
8: On page 7, the following should be added to the first paragraph under
Traffic Circulation:
"Community Drive should be extended to Vine Street at this
time." '
-24-

Community Development Director
August 4, 1981

9. On page 7, add the following paragraph after the first paragraph
under Traffic and Circulation:
"The specific plan for Lower Sacramento Road requires a total
right-of-way width of 110 feet. This provides for a main
thoroughfare having two travel lanes and one emergency parking
lane in each direction and also provides for a 22 -foot center
median. The Specific Plan denies access on the east side of
Lower Sacramento Road from Kettleman Lane to Vine Street.
The developer is proposing access to Lower Sacramento Road
via a public street. This proposed access will require an
amendment to the existing Specific Plan. The developer is
proposing that all access to the cluster home parcels be taken
off of interior streets and not off of Lower Sacramento Road..,,
10. if the lake concept is approved, a soils report shodd be prepared
prior to the design and construction of said lake.

This worksheet was designed as a supplemsa to the Procedure and Basis
for Estimating On -Road Motor Vehicle Emissions document published by
the State of California Air Resource! Brmrd, January 1980.
The worksheet uses the some formulas and methods t? derive estimates of
automobile air pollution, only in a simplified mannor.
The worksheet consists of a table, broken-down into two parts:
1. Background Data (in the upper portion), available from scwrces
described in the text of the worksheet, and
2. Estimate Results (in the lower portion), as obtained by using
the formulas and calculations given in the text.
The text is coded with lettere to match the spaces in the table. Colculations
are noted with numerals, making formulas easy to find in the text.
Notes
The method for estimation used in the
projects associated with large areas.
tables of the document, and regional
quality basins.
State procedures is best used with
County data is given in the text and
information is given in terns of air
Smaller projects are more difficult to estimate using this procedure, unless
locally gathered data is used in place of the standard data given in the _
text. Caution should be used when data is substituted so as to guarantee
accurate results.
Procedure.
Motor vehicles are divided into six catagories for analysis. They are:
1. Light -Duty Passenger Vehicles (LDP)
2. Light -Duty Trucks (LDT) (6,000 lbs. or less gross vehicle weight)
3. Medium -Duty Trucks (MDT) (6,001 - 8,500 lbs. GVW)
4. Heavy -Duty Gasoline Trucks (HDG) (8,500 + lbs. GVW)
5. Heavy -Duty Diesel Trucks (HDD) (8,500 + lbs. GVW)
6. Motorcycles (MCY)
One table should be madefor each'of. the six clossificotions of
.. uP
vehicles listed above, requiring six sets of the calculations in this worksheet.
Once all six of the tables have been made (one for each type of vehicle),
totals can be calculated for each pollutant.
Following the worksheet table, three summary tables are provided to show the
total emission estimates. The final table (bordered) gives a total for each
pollutant as estimated using the method described by the State. All numbers
in the last three tables are given in units of tons/day.

MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Public Works Department
TO: City Manager and City Council
FROM: Public Works Director
DATE: October 5, 10,81
SUBJECT: Supplemental Data on Filley Ranch
At the Council meeting of September 16, 10-81, the City Council deferred action
on the certification of the Filey Ranch E.I.R. and requested additional in-
formation be submitted describing how the development affects the Master Storm
Drainage Fund and what alternate sources for storm drainages are available.
Master Storm Drainage Fund
Based on the development of the whole subdivision (53 acres ±) and the present
storm drainage acreage fee ($3210/Ac.), approximately $170,000 would be col-
lected into the Master Storm Drainage Fund. The Tilley Ranch Master Drain
system would consist of approximately 1200 lineal feet of 36" or 42" storm
drain and would cost approximately $50,000. This $50,000 would be spent from
the Master Drain Fund and would not be available for other development.
It was pointed out in the E.I.R.. that there is not sufficient grade available
to drain all of the sewage from the development to the tower Sacramento Road
trunk sewer line. The vaster Sewer planring done by staff shows that the
easterly third of this development will have to drain south to Highway 12 along
the Mills Avenue alignment to a future lift station, it appears economically
unfeasible to develop the easterly third of this development, therefore, the
actual storm drainage fees which would be collected may only total $110,000.
Alternate Drainage Solutions
Since the ultimate drainage basin for this proposed development has not been
constructed, it will be necessary to drain this development into an already
developed area, i.e. B-1 area which is ultimately pumped into W.I.D. at Shady
Acres or the A-2 area which is pumped into W.I.D. at Beckman Park. Therefore,
the drainage solution for the development of this parcel must include another
temporary drainage basin or a lake as proposed. The runoff can be discharged
into the B -I area by use of the existing line and pumping station in Vine Street
as proposed under the E.I.R., or could be discharged into A-2 area with the
installation of approximately two miles of major trunk lines.
Based on existing City policies and past practices. there appears to be no
other solution to the drainage of this proposed development.
Please let me know if the Council desires any additional information prior to
the eer•*,r`lcation of the E.I.R. on the proposed Filley Ranch development.
