The matter was introduced by Public Works Director Ronsko who informed the City Council that at the regular Council meeting of August 17, 1977 the Council had received correspondence from Mr. Fred Muther requesting that the specific plan for Beckman Road be reevaluated between the limits of Kettleman Lane and Victor Road. At that time the matter was referred to the Planning Commission for its review. Following a public hearing on the matter, the Planning Commission at its October 3, 1977 meeting directed the Public Works Department to prepare an amended specific plan for Beckman Road between Kettleman Lane and Victor Road using the following criteria: a) Two travel lanes; b) Left -turn pocket; c) No Parking; 395 Minutes of December 21, 1977, continued AMENDED SPECIFIC PLAN FOR d) Utilizing the existing curb on west side; BECKMAN ROAD ORD, NO. 1130 e) New curb and gutter on east side; INTRO. (Contd.) f) No sidewalk on either the west side or -the .- east side of the street At its meeting of October 24, 1977 the Planning Commission after reviewing the plan prepared by staff at its direction, recommended that.the specific plan for Beckman Road, between Harney Lane and Victor Road be amended to provide for two travel lanes and a left -turn lane, all within a 54 -foot right-of-way, with no on -street parking and no sidewalks on either the east or the west side of the street. Since there was concern about need for possible future street widening, a 20 -foot setback line was recommended on the east side of Beckman Road between Harney Lane and Victor Road. There was no recommendation for modify- ing the Beckman Road specific plan between Harney Lane and Kettleman Lane. The following staff recommendations were presented for Council review and consideration: RECOMMENDATIONS First Recommendation: Based on City's traffic consultants' recommendations; the industrial area developing more than 10, 000 vehicles per day on Beckman Road and the fact that the area in question now being only one-fifth developed the staff still recommends that: 1. Four travel lanes and one left turn pocket be provided within a 78' right-of-way between Kettleman Lane and Victor Road. However, minor modification in right-of-way, lane widths, and alignment between Lodi and Pine should be allowed to save existing structures. Modifications to be approved by staff at time of development; and that Z. Beckman Road Specific Plan between Harney and Kettleman also be modified to show no raised median. Second Recommendation: If City Council questions the need for four travel lanes it is recommended that: 1. The City Council hire an independent traffic consultant or even two different traffic consultants to make recommendations on the future travel lane requirements on all of the streets within the total industrial area. It is felt that this would be a very small expenditure as compared to the City's having to remove, widen, and reconstruct the improvements on the east side of Beckman Road, when widening is necessary; or that 2. The City hires a traffic consultant to reevaluate the 1968 street master plan. Since 1968, many major changes have been made in the City's general plan which point out the need for the Street Master Pian Reevaluation. Some of the major changes are as 396 Minutes of 'December 21, 1977,'c"ontinued- AMENDED SPECIFIC PLAN FOR 1. The east side freeway replacing Highway :12, BECKMAN ROAD not being w -reality; - ORD. NO. 1130 INTRO. (Contd.) Z. Vine Street not crossing the freeway;.. 3. Major increase in industrial zoning; 4. Development of new improvement priority list. since majority of previous recommended improve- ments have been constructed. The City's SB325 can be used for above types of traffic studies. Third Recommendation: That the City Council adopt the City's existing industrial street geometric sec- tion as the amended section for Beckman Road. This section provides for a 48 -foot paved roadway within a 60 -foot right -o£ -way and gives flexibility when volumes increase in the future. In addition to pro- viding for the two travel lanes and left -turn pocket recommended by the Planning Commission this section could also provide for four travel lanes with no parking('.'- 1IV-Il'-13'.)or two travel lanes, a left - turn pocket and parking ( 14'-12'-12'- 10'). Fourth Recommendation: City Council is confident that future traffic volumes on Beckman Road will not warrant more than Z travel lanes and a left turn pocket and no flexibility is needed the Planning Com- mission recommendation should be adopted as the geometric section for Beckman Road. However, it is recommended that the setback be increased from 20 feet to 24 feet to provide for a future four travel lanes and a left -turn pocket. A detailed Staff report as well as numerous exhibits and diagrams pertaining to the subject, were pre- sented for Council's perusal. The following persons were in the audience and addressed the Council regarding the matter. Mr. Fred Muther, 100 S, Beckman Road, Lodi, indicated that he does not agree with the proposed Z4 foot setback. Mr. Muther stated that he could not see the need to widen Beckman Road, because the street is more than adequate for both present and future traffic and added that the Beckman Road Devel- opment costs with the existing 4 -lane plan were so high that they would restrict the development of the industrial area. Mr. Lloyd Beckman, 120 South Beckman Road,' Lodi, indicated that the proposed right-of-way is not necessary and will ultimately result in substantial damage to the active businesses in the areas and specifically to his business. Mr. Freeman D. Lane of Brown, Dick, Calone and Lane, Attorneys -at -Law, representing Mr. Lloyd Beckman urged the Council by letter to amend the specific plan as it now exists, but to reject the pro- posed modification and to consider a three 12 -foot lane proposal as outlined in Mr. Lane's letter. Mr. Beckman further expanded on this proposal in 39� A lengthy Council discussion followed with questions being directed to Staff regarding the matter.
