Notice thereof having been published in accordance with law

Hearing to consider:
1) the recommendation of the Lodi Planning Commission to

(EIR 83-3) of the Tandy -Johnson Ranch, a 48 acre Residential
and Commercial Planned Development proposed for the
southside of Almond Drive"and the westside of Cherokee Lane,

ENVIIRCUM NTAL Following Staff's presentation, public testimony, and
IMPACT REPCRT discussion, Council on motion of Council Member Reid, Olson
OF THE TANDY- second, certified as adequate the Final Envirormental Impact
JCHNSCN RANCH Report (EIR 83-3) of the Tandy -Johnson Ranch, a 48 acre
CERTIFIED AS residential and commercial planned development proposed for
ADEQUATE the southside of Almond Drive and the westside of Cherokee
Lane and established the following findings:
A. 1. ENVIRORW NIAL INTACT
The project will result in the loss of 48± acres of
prime agricultural soil. If the project is approved,
this loss cannot be mitigated.
Finding
All the land in and around the City of Lodi is
Continued May 16, 1984
jxM
The City does not have the option of building on "non
prime" agricultural soils in order to preserve the
prime soils. Every development built in the City,
small or large, utilizes same prime agricultural
soil. The residential, carmercial and industrial
needs of the City necessitates some urbanization of
agricultural land.
Overriding considerations
The area in question has been designated for
residential development for many years by the City of
Lodi General Plan. The area has been undergoing
urbanization over the past year. There are
residential developments adjacent to the proposed
project. The development is contiguous to existing
developed areas and will be a logical continuation of
the urbanized area.
The City of Lodi has planned and constructed its
utility system to serve the area with water, sewer
and storm drainage in anticipation of the area
developing. The existing infrastructure will allow
development of the area without costly expenditures
of public funds for the extension or construction of
major new lines.
2. IIWIR(IQVI UAL IMPACT
Urbanization of the subject parcel will affect
adjacent agricultural parcels.
Find!
While sane' modification of current fanning practices
may bje required, those modifications will not prevent
the ccnt�nued'agricultural use of adjacent parcels.
The use of agricultural chemicals can continue
although in some cages alternative methods of
-application or types of chemicals may be required.
Trespassing and vandalism on adjacent agricultural
parcels can be reduced by constructing a solid fence
along the entire west and south property line
adjacent -to any agricultural property. The fence
will reduce trespassing and vandalism by reducing
easy access from the subdivision.
In addition to the fence, the City will require a 20'
building setback from the property line adjacent to
agriculture. A row of evergreen trees will be
planted in the setback area.
The City is surrounded by fanning operations, yet has
not experienced any particular problems concerning
homeowners' complaints about agricultural noise or
dust. If a farmer uses a reasonable amount of care,
it is unlikely that he would have a serious problem.
3. ENVIiiC W04TAL IMPACT
The project will generate approximately 5,829
additional vehicle trips per day which will be added
to surrounding streets.
Finding
The existing streets adjacent to the Tandy -Johnson
Project are adequate to handle the additional
traffic. Improvements that will be made on Almond
156
Continued May 16, 1984
i
Drive and on Cherokee Lane will improve the overall
traffic flow. The project will also require the
continuation of Century Boulevard, which will provide
access to the southern portion of the project.
4. INVIRfNVENTAL IMPACT
The project will produce some additional vehicle
generated air pollution.
Finding
Based on air quality projections, the amount of
additional air pollution will be less than 1/10th of
1% of the total for the City of Lodi. This level is
not considered significant.
5. INVIRCN4UCAL IMPACT
The project will generate an estimated 223 additional
school -aged children. This will affect the LU5D and
its ability to provide adequate classroom space.
Finding
The applicant has signed a contract with the LLED in
which he agrees to pay an impaction fee to the
District. The District considers the payment of
these fees as sufficient mitigation for the impact of
the additional students.
B. 1. ALTERNATIVES M THE PROJBCr
The EIR discussed several alternatives to the
proposed project. ^The following are findings on two
of the alternatives.
Alternative 1
This alternative is a "no build" alternative, which
would mean that no development would be constructed
on the property.
Findi
This alternative would eliminate the environmental
impacts resulting from the proposed project. This
alternative would, however, affect the future supply
of affordable housing.
The applicant is proposing to construct single-family
houses that will sell in the $85,000 range. Housing
in this price range provides affordable housing for
the residents of Lodi. Housing priced above this
level is out of the price range of the majority of
the residents of Lodi.
Based on a vacant lot survey, it is estimated that
there are less than 400 vacant single-family lots in
approved subdivisions that could contain houses of
less than $85,000. This figure represents
approximately a 3 -year supply of housing in this
price range. Once this supply of affordable housing
is used up there are very few new subdivisions being
planned to take their place. Much of this is a
result of the "Greenbelt Initiative" which has
significantly restricted the possibility of new
developments.
Residential projects like Tandy -Johnson often take
18-24 months from the time of approval to the first
Continued May 16, 1984
on line just as existing subdivisions in this price
range are built out or nearly built out. Without
projects like Tandy -Johnson, there would soon be a
shortage of affordable housing units.
2. Alternative 4
This alternative would utilize an "infill" property
as an alternative to the proposed project.
Finding
The City of Lodi has consistently encouraged the
utilization of "infill" parcels of land available in
the City of Lodi. There are no parcels that could
accommodate the Tandy -Johnson project. Most of the
"infill" properties are small in size, ranging from
single-family lots to one or two acres. All the
large parcels are under development or have an
approved project on them. Additionally, most of
these parcels, if they were available, would be very
expensive. The price would probably make affordable
housing impossible.
C. GROWL i -INDUCING IlNMAGT
The project will not have a significant
growth -inducing impact on the City.
Finding
The passage of Measure A, the "Greenbelt Initiative",
has placed a significant future growth limit on the
City of Lodi. All new General Plan amendments that
require an annexation just receive voter approval.
It does not appear that the voters are inclined to
approve any new annexations. Consequently there may
be very little growth of the City in future years.
Because there is very little vacant land left within
the City limits, there may be very few new
developments in caning years. (Pg. 22 & 23)

FRANCHISE
"Counci 1 Mesrbers:
With regard to the Franchise Contract matter set forth on
the City Council agenda on May 16, 1984, 1 would like to
summarize the basic principles to be discussed as follows:
Sanitary City Disposal Company and its subsidiary companies
California Waste Removal Systems and Sanco Disposal Company
are providing solid waste collection and recovery services
for the City of Lodi and the northern San Joaquin County
Area.
The Lodi community, of course, is the largest contributor of
solid waste, generating 85% of the total volume of the
northern San Joaquin County area. As a result, or operation
is centered around fulfilling the solid waste collection and
recovery needs of the Lodi commmmity. In order to fulfill
these needs, long-term planning is required for both
operational and financial planning.
However, our current agreement with the City of Lodi
concludes in June of 1989. Consequently, this has hampered
our ability to establish a long-term financial plan to meet
the ongoing equipment needs. Therefore, Sanitary City
Disposal Company is requesting the City of Lodi to extend
the term of the agreement between the City of Lodi and
psi
1 62
Continued May 16, 1984
In looking at the needs of Sanitary City Disposal Company in
terms of its ability to plan on a long-term basis, you must
recognize a major problem in its ability to acquire adequate
financing. As you know, solid waste collection requires the
use of highly mechanized equipment of substantial cost. The
efficiency and level of service in its operation is directly
effected by the condition of its equipment.
The average life of well-maintained equipment is
approximately seven years. Consequently, it is necessary
for Sanitary City Disposal Canpany to replace equipment
throughout its contract with the City. The problem of
financing this equipment exists because amortization
schedules for this type of equipment are based on life of
five to seven years. Financial institutions look to the
ongoing capabilities of our business when we seek financing.
When we approach later years in our agreement with the City,
financial institutions question our ability to meet pay -back
schedules due to the termination date of the contract.
In short, the contract termination date supercedes
amortization schedules for the financing of our transfer
station/resource recycling facility as well as replacement
equipment. Therefore, in order to facilitate our present
and future financial obligations at the most favorable
possible rate, it is our request that the term of the
contract be extended to meet our amortization schedules.
In September, 1980, Sanitary City Disposal Conpany came
before the City Council with a similar request for a
contract extension. That request was not granted based upon
the following reasons:
111. A transfer station has not been built and there-
fore, any savings are only speculative at this
time.
2. Until such time as a transfer station is in
operation, we do not know the effects on refuse
collection service levels or the actual usage
of such a facility by the public.
3. Financing of the transfer station has already
been obtained and Mr. Vaccarezza is moving
forward with construction.
4. The present contract is less than 2 years old,
and it is absolutely premature to consider any
modifications of that contract."
Despite that decision, Sanitary City Disposal Company moved
forward to assume a 20 -year financial obligation to build a
$1.5 million transfer station/resource recycling facility
open to the general public. The facility opened to the
general public on August 20, 1981, and has continuously
operated seven days a week ever since.
The net result to Sanitary City Disposal Company and the
City of Lodi has been a substantial reduction in the cost of
labor, fuel, repair and maintenance as they relate to our
solid waste collection system.
Nbre significant, however, is the broad use of the facility
by the general public. In 1983, over 17,000 people used the
transfer station facility as opposed to making th 22 -mile
round trip to the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill. Same of
the benefits realized by the comiunity in 1983 include:
1. A reduction of 391,000 miles of travel on city
and county roads.
Continued May 16, 1984 163
2. $90,000 in avoided transportation costs have
been realized by the general public (based
upon $.20 per mile)
3. A significant reduction in the environmental
air pollution produced by the previously
traveled distance.
4. Reduced litter and roadside dumping.
5. Diminished effect upon traffic conditions
to and from the Harney Lane Landfill.
Furthermore, through Sanitary City Disposal Company's
insight to incorporate into the system a buy-back recycling
program and an intensive resource recovery program, we have
been able to further enhance public and environmental well
being. In 1983, 10,000 customers made use of the resource
recovery/recycling program resulting in benefits to the
ccrmnmity which include:
1. The generation of revenue in excess of $100,000
paid out to community youth programs, service
clubs, local businesses and private individuals.
2. The recycling of over 5,000 tons of material
back into the product manufacturing cycle. This
in turn conserves valuable natural resources
as well as the.additional energy required to
produce the equivalent products from virgin
resources.
The avoided cost in excess of $50,000 for
the collection and transportation of these
materials.
4. The avoided cost of landfill disposal in
excess of $25,000 realized by the citizens
of Lodi and San Joaquin County.
5. The conservation of valuable agricultural
land, resulting from the reduced land
space required.
The departments within the City of Lodi have also realized
the rewards of our collection, transfer and recovery
efforts. In 1983, the City of Lodi entered into a five year
agreement with Sanitary City Disposal Company to divert, at
no charge to the City, over 7,000 tons of leaf collection
material out of the landfill and into our resource recovery
program. In addition, the City of Lodi delivered to our
facility, at no charge, 657 loads of solid waste weighing
2,262 tons. A conservative estimate (based upon $.75 per
mile) of the avoided cost of labor and transportation of
solid waste alone exceeds $10,000 per year.
Sanitary City Disposal for the past three years has also
provided, at no direct cost to the City of Lodi, $12,000 per
year worth of collection services to city owned facilities
throughout our community.
The long-range planning by Sanitary City Disposal in the
1960's and 1970's has became the reality of the 1980's --- a
a reality that benefits the entire community by providing it
with a cleaner, healthier and safer environment.
It is, therefore, with the above thoughts in mind that I
make myself, as a representative of Sanitary City Disposal
Cargany, readily available to the Council or its
Subcommittee for immediate review of this approval.

AGENDA IT -MIS
Agenda Item K-1 - Presentation/Hearing regarding Carmmity
Development Block Grant was introduced by Assistant Planner
Gaye Papi as.
The following proposed uses of Community Development Block
Grant Funds and Statement of Goals and Cbjectives were
presented by Ms. Papias.
PROPOSED USE OF OCIZINITY DEVELORVIENT BLQX GRANT F[VDS
PRDJECT NO. 1: WELL 1#6 REPLACEM7ENT: $120,000
Well No. 6, one of Lodi's 18 wells, failed unexpectedly this
year, resulting in the intrusion of sand into domestic water
lines in the low and moderate income target area.
Subsequently, the well was abandoned thereby handicapping
the ability of the well system to meet the water needs of
low and moderate homes. Staff has determined that a new
well must be installed to remedy the problem. The new well
will be located in the low -mod target area and is fully
consistent with HUD regulations for eligible activities.
PROJECT NO. 2: CENIRAL AVENUE STCEN DRAIN: $70,000
This project completes the extension of the new storm drain
installed in Walnut and Oak Streets in 1978. The work
includes the replacement of undersized catch basin laterals
at Pine and Elm to relieve street flooding in the Central
Avenue area north of Walnut Street.
Catch basins and laterals will be installed or replaced as
necessitated by the design. New curb returns, including
wheelchair ramps will be installed at corners where catch
basins are installed.
PFJWBCT NO. 3: POPLAR STREET SIMI DRAIN: $129,000
This project includes the installation of a 3011 storm drain
in Poplar Street to relieve flooding on Central Avenue.
According to engineering calculations, Central Avenue mains
should also be replaced, but this will be deferred until the
effects of the project can be evaluated.
Catch basins and laterals wi-11 be installed or replaced as
necessitated by the design. New curb returns, including
wheelchair ramps will be installed at corner where catch
basins are installed.
Continued May 16, 1984 116
PRDJ= NO. 4: FAST -SIDE MEVIDBD ANALYSIS - $44,000
The City has known for some time that severe and potentially
dangerous corrosion and disintegration of sewer lines exist
in the low -mod target area. The age of the lines as well as
the design standards at the time of installation are
contributing factors to the problems. In order to
facilitate a systematic approach to solving the problem a
study would be necessary to ascertain the scope and
magnitude of the problem.
The $44,000 proposed would be spent to clean the lines and
to perform a televideo analysis and to repair isolated
maintenance problems. With Council approval, once the
televideo analysis is completed, an additional $30,000 of
City funds will be required to hire a consultant to analyze
the capacity and condition of the existing lines and to make
design recommendations.
NME: The dollar amounts shown are rough estimates. If the
construction bids come in well over budget, one of the
proposed projects will be held over until the 1985 program
year.
Statement of Cammnity Development Goals
1. To promote the provision of adequate housing for all
persons in the camxmity.
2. To maintain the quality, diversity and orderly pattern
of community development consistent with economic, social
and environmental needs.
3. To provide special types of housing and expand the
economic opportunities for groups with particular needs,
including the elderly and the handicapped.
Calm unity Development Block Grant Cbjectives
° The City of Lodi is firmly committed to the expenditure
of CIBG funds on activities which will benefit low and
moderate income persons.
° There will be an attempt to minimize expenditures on
administrative costs to enable a greater amount to be
spent on direct or area benefit to low and moderate
income persons.
° To insure a smooth entrance into the CEBG program, the
first year appropriation will be spent on activities that
are consistent with the national objectives but that do
not require the addition of costly staff increases or
overly complex program structures.
° Residential rehab programs will be thoroughly researched
prior to adoption to insure cost effective program
management and a higher direct benefit to program
management ratio.
° Economic Development activities will be pursued to the
extent that there is a clear benefit to low and moderate
income fanilies.
° The needs of Lodi's elderly will be considered in the use
of CIBG funds.
° The needs of single heads of households with dependent
children will be considered in the use of COBG funds.
° The City of Lodi will make an earnest effort to further
fair housing in the use of CIBG funds.
166
�- Continued May 16, 1984
Detailed records will be maintained on all projects
funded by CDBG and will make those records available for
review by the local citizenry.
° Residential displacement of persons as a result of CDBG
funded projects is not expected. In the unlikely event
that it may occur, all necessary steps will be taken to
minimize the impact upon the affected residents.
Council discussion followed with questions being directed to
Ms. Papias and other Staff members.
Council Member Pinkerton then moved that the City not accept
any Camnmity Development Block Grant Funds. The motion
died for lack of a second.
The following persons spoke under the hearing portion of
this Agenda item:
a) Mr. Art Raab, 1800 West Walnut Street, Lodi
Mr. Raab requested Coau mity Development Block Grant
Funds to be used for a parenting type counseling
service. Mr. Raab described his proposed service
requesting at least $38,000 be set aside, and that a
counselor be retained to deal with parents and children.
In addition, Ntr. Raab requested that same funds be set
aside for resource people, rental funds should be made
available, and that child care be provided.
b) Ms. Jacqueline Laughland, Educator, requested an
Education Tourism Correspondence Program, describing the
program as a 3 -R's Product, to share with team work for
social skills.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff, Mr. Raab, and Nis. Laughland.
