CENTRAL AVE.Council was reminded that the City Clerk had received a petition from residents in the vicinity RES. N0. of South Central Avenue requesting this installation. 79-156 Further informat-on was provided by Public S•?orks Director Ronsko w^o reported that the results of an investigation by Staff as it appl-es to the warrants s for a 4 -way stop indicate that none of the warrants for a four way stop are met. The results of the investigation also indicated that the existing 2 -way stop is adequate at tl•.-s time. Council discussion followed .with questions being directed to Staff. The following persons spoke in favor of the installa- tion of a 4 -way stop at the subject location: a) Eugene E. Heer, 845 S. Central Ave., Lodi b) ".Marie Anderson, 909 Wellswood Avenue, Lodi c) Mrs. James Barrett, 744 S. Central Ave. Lodi Following addition discuss -on, on motion of Councilman McCarty, Katnich second, Council adopted Resolution `?o. 79-156 establishing a 4 -way stop at Vine Street and Central Avenue. Agenda item "1" - "Request for parallel parking, Central Avenue Bout- of -Lodi Avenue" was introduced by City Manager Glaves. The City Council was advised that the Citv had recently resurfaced the existing Davement on Central Avenue between Lodi Aveue and Kettlemar. Lane. This resurfacing resulted in the obliteration of all existing pavement markings within t` -.e limits of t'ie project. 48"S Minutes of November 21, 1979, continued Upon completion of the work, City crews repainted all pavement marking, except for the angle stalls established by City Ordinance between Lodi Avenue and Vine Street. This painting was delayed upon receipt by the City Clerk of a petition signed by 214 persons requesting that parallel, instead of angle, stalls be repainted within those limits. A report was given by Public Works Director Ronsko which in summation indicated that forty-five degree angle parking stalls cannot be repainted on Central Avenue and comply with minimum standards established by the City of Lodi for parking lots. A more acute angle of parking (300)does not provide a significant increase in total spaces over parallel parking to justify the resulting loss of travel lane width. Accidents, caused by angle parked vehicles, were a serious problem on Central Avenue in 1963, and the yearly average has more than doubled since that time. Parallel marked stalls will provide sufficient on street oarking along Central Avenue. Traffic Engineering authorities agree that angle parking creates more traffic congestion; is con- siderably more hazardous than parallel parking, and should not be considered on streets as narrow as Central Avenue. City Clerk Reimche reported that she was in receipt of oetitions bearing approximately 1600 signatures which favored the retention of diagonal parking on South Central. The following persons spoke in favor of parallel parking in the subject area: a) Marie Anderson, 909 Wellswood Avenue, Lodi b) Mrs. James Barrett, 7a4 S.

Alpine Road, Lodi d) Bill Kemp, 606 S. Central Ave., Lodi A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed by the Council to Staff and to persons in the audience who had given testimony. Mayor Katzakian asked to abstain from voting on the matter, because of a possible conflict of interest. On motion of Councilman McCarty, Pinkerton second, Council denied the request for parallel parking on Central Avenue, south of Lodi Avenue; however, directed Staff that the striping pattern in the subject location be re-established for angle parking at 450 with 9 foot stalls. 484 Minutes of November 21, 1979 , continued A proposed Ordinance amending Chapter 27 of the ' Lodi City Code by adding new sectionsrelative to condominium conversions and amending Section 27-15 L_ relating to use permits was introduced by City PROPOSED Manager •Claves and City Attorney Stein.
