NO. 83-96 1983-84 TAX RATE Following introduction of the matter by City Manager Glaves, v FCR CITY OF L(DI Council, on motion.of Council Miember Pinkerton, Murphy SET second, adopted Resolution No. 83-94 fixing the Tax Rate for the City of Lodi for Fiscal Year 1983-84 _ - RES. NO. 83-94 Council was apprised that at the last regular Planning Commission meeting, on August 8, 1983, Mr. Howard Arnaiz asked the Planning Commission to approve a Parcel Map which did not include the required cul-de-sac at the north end of Awani Drive. The Planning Commission indicated to Mr. Arnaiz that they could take no action unless the City Council changed their position on the need for the cul-de-sac and officially abandoned the public right-of-way. A letter from the Sanguinetti & Arnaiz Development Company, Inc., requesting the City Council to abandon the unimproved public right-of-way located at the north end of Awani Drive was presented for Council's perusal. Awani Drive is located in the Mokelumne Village subdivision. The unimproved cul-de-sac right-of-way fronts the City's old dumpsite (SOL) which was purchased by Howard Arnaiz in July 1982. A copy of the bidding documents which clearly indicates on page 3 that the new owner of the property (Howard Arnaiz) is responsible for the completion of the cul-de-sac at the end of Awani Drive was presented for Council's perusal. Mr. Arnaiz's bid transmittal indicating that his bid is being submitted in accordance with the conditions contained in the bidding document was also presented. Also presented was a copy of the plot plan that went with the bidding documents to show the bidders the exact parcel which they were acquiring and that the parcel did not include the future cul-de-sac right-of-way. It is felt that there is no question that Mr. Arnaiz purchased the City property knowing full well that he would have to construct a standard City cul-de-sac at the end of Awani Drive. It was made very clear to all parties bidding on the City's SO, that it would be their responsibility to construct the cul-de-sac inprovements. If the Council now changes that requirement, then there is a real question whether that is fair to the.other bidder. The estimated cost of the improvements is approximately $15,000. If this change was made prior to the bidding, it certainly appears that the bids the City received may have been $15,000 higher. 12 Continued August 17, 1983 Based on what Mr. Arnaiz wants to do with the property, the Public Works Department has provided him with two other alternates which provide for standard street terminations, which would provide nearly the same development concept. The Public Works and Comrnmity Development Departments feel very strongly that the City should not allow any substandard street terminations in Lodi. It is recamnended that the City council not change the conditions of the SOL sale and that the subject public right-of-way not be abandoned. NIr. Howard Arnaiz, President of Sanguinetti and Arnaiz Development addressed the Council regarding this matter and responded to questions as were posed by the Council.
