RES. APPROVING The Modification Agreement of Hutchins and Kettle -

HUTCHINS AND
approval. The proposed work at this intersection
KETTLEMAN LANE
mainly involves the addition of left turn phases
TRAFFIC SIGNAL
in order to reduce the high number of left turn
accidents; however, doing this will require major
RES. NO. 82-21
changes to the signals - new poles, mast arms and
detectors. The costs are being split 50-50 be-
tween the City and the State and funds ($64,000)
�-
for the City's share were budgeted in the 1981-82
Capital Improvement Program.
Following discussion, on motion of Councilman
Pinkerton, Hughes second, Council adopted
Resolution No. 82-21 approving Cooperative Agree-
ment between the City of Lodi and the California
Department of Transportation and directing the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement
on behalf of the City.
Staff asked Council for a clarification of
Council's February 24, 1982 direction to construct
Turner Road (at Cluff Avenue) to its ultimate
width.
The exact motion, moved by Pinkerton and seconded
by Murphy, is as follows:
"That we try to acquire the property so we can
continue the streets and tie it into the existing
contract and get it done at a reasonable price so
it's done, out of the way, and so we have a
development with an access to the industrial area
of the City of Lodi."
Because of the exact wording of the motion, the
Staff, feels that clarification is needed on the
following items:
1. Is it the Council's intention to acquire the
required rights-of-way from Snell, Jerome, and
Anagnos?
For Council's information, it has been past
practice of the City Council to use their
condemnation power where portions of future
street alignments were needed as part of a
proposed development for installation of
utilities, additional street width, drainage,
etc. However, it has been in the past, the
developer's responsibility to pay for the
appraisal, condemnation, and any litigation
costs, the right-of-way needs and to make the
necessary installations required for his
development.
For Council information, the appraisal work
will cost $3,000 and the rights-of-way costs
and preliminary construction estimates as
follows:
123
Continued March 10, 1982
Right-of-way Costs* Construction Costs Total
Jerome $ 700 $ 81000 $ 8,700
Snell 5,500 11,000 16,500
Anagnos 10,800 34,000 44,800
Total $ 17,000 $53,000 $70,000
*Based on $0.50 per square foot. No value given to
severence.
2. Is it the intent that the City pay all of the
above costs?
This is questioned based on the memo that
was in the last Council packet from City
Attorney Stein. From this memo it appears
the developer has indicated to the City Attorney
that they would be willing to pay for the
improvements in front of Snell and Jerome
properties if the City purchased the rights-of-way.
3. Is it the City Council's intent to construct
all of the street improvements, including
parking lane, curb, gutter and sidewalk, or
only those improvements necessary to provide
the ultimate four (4) travel lanes?
4. It was clear that the Council wanted this work
done in conjunction and together with the work
under the Assessment District. Since the
Assessment District contract has been let and
it is the contractor's intent to install the
underground utilities and do the roadway
construction on Turner Road first, it doesn't
appear that we will be able to do the additional
work on Turner Road in conjunction with the
Assessment District contract. It is assumed
that the Council doesn't want to delay the
District work.
5. If it is the Council's intent for the City to
be responsible for the construction costs,
does the Council want to consider reimbursement
at the time the properties develop and convert
to a higher use?
6. I£ it is the Council's intent for the City to
pay for the right-of-way and the additional
street construction, does the Council have any
preference on what City funds should be used?
7. If Cal -Cushion does not develop (the City has
no guarantee) is it still the Council's intent
to widen Turner Road?
CONFIRMATION OF Following discussion, Staff was informed by the
COUNCIL DIRECTION Council that it was Council's intention to acquire
4 ON TURNER ROAD the required rights-of-way from Snell, Jerome, and
RIGHT-OF-WAY Anagnos. Council further directed Staff to proceed
with the appraisal work at an estimated cost of
$3,000.00 which cost will be paid by the City of
Lodi.
FIRE INSURANCE City Manager Glaves apprised the Council that a
RATING report had been received from Insurance Services
IMPROVED Office of California indicating that the City of
Lodi's fire insurance protection class has been
improved to Class 3.
