PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of
CC -6 the City Clerk, Mayor Reid called for the Public
CC -55 Hearing regarding the proposed Hotel Lodi Renovation
Project.
HOTEL LCDI The matter was introduced by Community Development Director
RENDVATION PROTECT James Schroeder.
The history of the project and a CDBG Program Chronology of
Events regarding the project were presented for Council's
perusal.
Mr. Schroeder presented a letter that had been received
from Mr. Robert Stone, Program Manager, State of California
Department of Housing and Community Development, which read
as follows:
"I am writing in response to your inquiry about the status
of our SUHRP loan commitment for the Hotel Lodi should the
City of Lodi fail to provide the financial assistance to
this project described in your SUHRP application.
In brief, our commitment does not hinge on the availability
of the City funds. Should you be able to substitute
private equity capital for these funds, and produce a
project that is otherwise as approved last March, our
commitment would still stand and the project could move
forward.
The City's withdrawal of its financial participation would
be extremely disappointing, especially in light of its
previously stated support in the project's application, and
at a convocation we attended which included city officials,
businessmen and residents, on February 28, 1986, to
encourage the State's approval. Even if the City's
withdrawal did not render the Lodi Hotel project
infeasible, the quality of the project otherwise
potentially achievable may be decreased. This would be to
the detriment of both the commmity and future residents
after the Hotel's renovation.
Should you require further elaboration on this matter,
please contact Russ Schmunk at 916-323-7244."
The following persons spoke on behalf of the project:
a) Mr. David F. Beatty, Attorney -at -Law, McDonough,
Holland and Allen, representing the developer of the
proposed project, Daniels C. Logue.
b) Mr. Jack Carter, 620 Turner Road, Lodi, feels that
downtown merchants would be much better off if City
has control of the project.
c) Ms. Shirley Kleim, 216 East Oak Street, Lodi,
presented a petition signed by 72 people in support of
the project.
d) Mr. Terry Knutson, 29 North Allen Drive, Lodi, stated
that he believes that if City CDBG funds are kept in
the City, the City will retain its control.
e) Mr. John L. Barkley, Attorney -at -Law, 404 West Pine
Street, Lodi, representing the property owner John
Graffigna, stated that Mr. Graffigna is committed to
sell the property and Mr. Logue is committed to buy.
They will go forward with or without the City.

Continued September 17, 1986
Speaking in opposition were:
a) Mr. Clifford Nitschke, 62 Corinth, Lodi.

Continued September 17, 1986
As the design for the reconstruction between Rinby and Vine
neared completion in early 1986, staff was requested by the
City Council to study the need for a two-way left turn
lane. This request came from a concern of the Chamber's
Highway and Transportation .Cotmittee. Their concern was
that two travel lanes and a two-way left turn lane was
needed throughout Hutchins Street from Kettleman to Lodi.
They felt that reconstruction between Rimby and Vine should
not take place without widening or elimination of parking.
Various improvement alternates, .including cost factors,
were presented for Council's consideration.

Hutchins Street was presented for Council's information as
well as a five-year accident history for the subject area.

IMPROVEMENT PRWEC,'T -
RIMBY TO VINE
Council was reminded that in 1981 an Environmental Impact
Report and Traffic Study was done on Hutchins Street from
CC -45(a)
Kettleman Lane to Lockeford Street. Various alternatives
were studied ranging frcm no change up to widening to 64'
curb to curb (4 travel lanes and parking) in an 80 foot
right-of-way. The "Minimum Recomended Project" in the
vicinity of Rimby to Vine called for 10 feet of right of
way acquisition and widening to 56 feet curb to curb. This
would have provided two travel lanes plus a left turn lane
and parking on both sides. Ultimately the street would be
striped for four lanes and no parking except during
off-peak hours (limited parking). The City Council adopted
a plan with the following features:
1. Maintain 80 foot ultimate right-of-way for future
developments.
2. Reconstruct within existing curbs Lodi to Lockeford.
3. Minor widening south of Lodi Avenue (Preliminary
engineering and right-of-way budgeted for 1986).
4. Reconstruct within existing curbs - Rimby to Lodi (Vine
to Tokay reconstructed 1983, Rimby to Vine budgeted
1985, Tokay to Lodi, scheduled for 1987 with minor
widening S/Lodi).
5. Minor widening - Kettleman to Rimby (constructed 1983).

to modify this resolution.
