IMPROVEMENTS
ACCEPTED AT 225
WEST LOCKEFORD
STREET
RES. NO. 88-37
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-37 - a
resolution accepting the development improvements for 225
CC -46
West Lockeford Street.
Council was apprised that improvements at 225 West
Lockeford Street have been completed in substantial
conformance with the requirements of the Development
Agreement between the City of Lodi and Bennett and Compton,
Inc., dated April 1, 1987, and as specifically set forth in
the plans and specifications for the work.
IMPROVEMENTS ACCEPTED
UNDER CONTRACT FOR
ELECTRIC SUBSTRUCTURES,
RUTLEDGE DRIVE AND
TURNER ROAD
The City Council accepted the installation of
electric substructures and directed the Electric Utility
CC -90
Director to file a notice of completion with the County
Recorder's office. The final contract price was
$25,108.70. The difference ($1,214.70) between the
contract amount and the final contract price is based on
actual field measurements versus estimated values.
Sufficient funding for this project was included in the
1987-88 fiscal year budget.
Council was informed that, at the Council meeting of
October 21, 1987, the City Council awarded the contract for
installation of Electric Substructures, Lower Sacramento
Road, Rutledge Drive and Turner Road to Richard A. Heaps
Electrical Contractor, Inc. in the amount of $23,894.00.
The installation of the substructures will enable the
Electric Utility Department to reconstruct the underground
direct -buried 12-kv distribution system in the area. The
existing system, installed in 1968-69, is rapidly failing
due to cable deterioration. As a result of the cable
condition, this area has experienced numerous outages, with
the outage rate continually increasing.
RIGHT-OF-WAY
AGREEMENT FOR 321
SOUTH HUTCHINS
STREET APPROVED The City Council approved the Right -of -Entry Agreement for
321 South Hutchins Street and authorized the City Manager
CC -90 and City Clerk to execute same for the City.
CC -161
Council was reminded that in previous actions, the City
Council approved the widening of the west side of Hutchins
Street, approximately 400 feet south of Lodi Avenue.
Professional appraisals were ordered and received in March
of 1987. Since that time, the City has been negotiating
with the owners of the two properties involved, but because
of legal ties on one parcel and the busy schedules of the
partners on the other one, the City has been unable to
reach final agreement regarding the acquisition. The
owners of the Milk Stop property have offered the City
possession of the property on an interim basis with the
understanding that negotiations will continue.
The conditions of the right of entry are delineated in the
agreement which is on file in the office of the City
Clerk. It is Staff's recommendation that the City Council
authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the
agreement for the City.
Continued March 16, 1988
Staff also suggested the City Council may want to authorize
the same for the Payless parcel immediately to the south,
as City expects to have a right of entry from them in the
near future. Council concurred with this suggestion.

REGULAR CALENDAR
PETITION RECEIVED
FROM RESIDENTS IN
AREA OF 1930 HOLLY
DRIVE, LODI,
OPPOSING THE NEW
PROPOSED HOURS OF
THE QUIK STOP MARKETS,
INC. LOCATED AT
THAT ADDRESS Council was reminded that, at its regular meeting of March
2, 1988, the City Council received a petition and letter
CC -7(f) from residents in the vicinity of the Quik Stop Market,
CC -16 1930 Holly Drive, in opposition to a proposal by the market
CC -35 operators to keep the store open 24 hours per day. The
City Council directed the staff to place this item on the
agenda, with appropriate notification to the principles
involved. Accordingly, the petition circulator, the market
manager and officials at the Quik Stop Markets, Inc.
headquarters in Fremont have been advised that this item
would be placed on the agenda for this meeting.
Community Development Director Schroeder reported that the
Quik Stop Market under discussion has residential
development on its north, east and south sides and General
Mills to the west. The site was for many years occupied by
a neighborhood automobile service station which operated
during the daytime and early evening.
393
Continued March 16, 1988
Each time the market changes management (ownership) the
neighbors become concerned about the establishment of a 24
hour operation near their residences. Thus far the staff
has used friendly persuasion with the company's head office
to control the hours. The homeowners and renters in this
area want some permanent assurance that the store will keep
reasonable hours.
The homes in this area are shielded from General Mills by a
high masonry wall along North Mills Avenue.
Addressing the Council regarding the matter were LeRoy
Hensley, 1931 Holly Drive, Lodi, who talked about noise,
beer drinking and litter problems being encountered in the
subject area.
Mr. W. Roy Plattel, District Manager for Quik Stop Markets,
Inc., proposed a compromise suggesting that the store hours
be 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Additional discussion followed with questions being
directed to staff and to those who had given testimony,
Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Hinchman
second, Council determined that the Quik Stop hours of
operation be limited from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
REQUEST OF WINE AND
ROSES COUNTRY INN,
2505 WEST TURNER ROAD,
LODI FOR A ONE-YEAR
EXTENSION TO COMPLETE
OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS
AT THAT LOCATION Council was apprised that the owners of Wine and Roses
Country Inn, located on the northwest corner of West Turner
CC -46 Road and Lower Sacramento Road, have completed building
CC -51(a) improvements and are occupying the premises and operating a
CC -176 bed and breakfast facility and restaurant. At the time of
the issuance of the building permit, they executed a
development agreement with the City of Lodi providing for
the construction of certain off-site improvements including
street paving, curb, gutter and sidewalk, sanitary sewer
and storm drain. A bond they posted to guarantee the
construction of these improvements expires June 17, 1988.
Last December, they requested permission to occupy the
premises though off-site improvements had not been
constructed. We asked that this request be submitted in
writing and they responded with a letter dated January 14,
1988, a copy of which was presented for Council's perusal.
The staff response granted temporary occupancy with certain
conditions. To date, the improvements have not been
constructed, and the owners are now requesting an extension
of one year to complete the project.
Staff reviewed the chronology of this project and responded
to questions as were posed by the Council.
Speaking on behalf of the request was Mr. Del Smith of Wine
and Roses Country Inn.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions regarding the
matter being directed to Staff and to Mr. Smith.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, Council
determined that the storm drainage, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk and paving be installed at the present time and
that water and sanitary sewer be extended at such time as
the City calls for it.
