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

PLAN FOR 1. The east side freeway replacing Highway :12,

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

A lengthy Council discussion followed with questions
being directed to Staff regarding the matter.

Ordinance 1130 to amend the Specific Plan for
Beckman Road from Lodi Avenue North to Victor
Road to include two 14 -foot travel lanes, a 12 -foot
left turn laze; no on -street parking, a 4 -foot side-
walk with '_-foot right-of-way, 20 foot building set-
back and no change in the west curbline (A total of
51- 1/2 foot right-of-way). The ;notion was seconded
