Discussion followed; with questions being directed to Staff by the Council. Council questioned the title "Agricultural -Holding District" with several alternate suggestions being offered. Following additional discussion, Councilman Katzakian moved the introduction of Ordinance No. 1072 - "An Ordinance Amending Section 27 of the City Code of the City of Lodi to include an 'Unclassified - Holding District' ". The motion was seconded by Councilman Katnich and carried. Notice thereof having been mailed to the property owners and also published and posted in accordance with law, Mayor Hughes called for the public hearing on the assessment for the Eden Street Street Lighting District. Following an inquiry from Mr. Loyd D. Smith, 5Z 1 S. Washington Street, Lodi, California, City Manager Glaves informed the Council that item "o" on the agenda -Z- 39; Minutes of April 7, 1976, continued "Tree problem - Eden Street Street Light District" pertained to a large Redwood Tree located in the Eden Street Street Lighting District which was causing illumination problems. Mayor Hughes, with Council's concurrence, directed that Agenda Item "o" be taken up immediately following the Assessment hearing. EDEN ST. ST. LT. There were no persons in the audience wishing to ASSESSMENT speak on the matter of the Assessment for the CONFIRMED Eden Street Street Lighting District, and the public portion of the hearing was closed. RES. NO. 4181 On motion of Councilman Katnich, Ehrhardt second, the Council adopted Resolution No. 4181 confirming the assessment for the Eden Street Street Lighting District. City Manager Glaves apprised the Council that within the Eden Street Street Lighting District, there is a rather large Redwood Tree which is causing illumina- tion problems. At the time of design, there appeared to be three solutions: (a) To relocate the lights so that there would be one light on each side of the tree. This would result in additional costs of $800 to the District. (b) To locate the eastern most street light on the north side of the street, which would have resulted in several hundred dollars additional trenching costs. (c) To do extensive trimming of the subject tree. PROBLEM TREE City Manager Glaves apprised the Council that IN EDEN ST. ST, property owners in the area of the subject tree have LIGHTING DISTRICT requested that the City remove the entire tree, and TO BE REMOVED it would be his recommendation that the tree be re- moved. The City Clerk presented a letter which had been re- ceived from Alvina Rode, 240 Eden Street, Joyce Wilk, 244 Eden Street, and Loyd D. and Eula B. Smith, 52 1 S. Washington Street, requesting that the tree be removed. Mr. Loyd D. Smith, 5Z 1 S. Washington Street, Lodi also addressed the Council requesting that the tree be removed. Following discussion, on motion of Councilman Ehrhardt, Katnich second, Council authorized the re- moval by the Public Works Department of the large Redwood Tree causing illumination problems in the Eden Street Street Lighting District. -3- Minutes of April 7, 1976, continued PHASING IN CLUFF Mr. Glen Baumbach, ZZ1 W. Oak Street, Lodi, AVE. AREA who stated that he was representing Mr. Bob _:.nn QUESTIONED addressed the Council stating that Ufa. Tonn had recently requested a use permit_ from the County for the purpose of establishing a landscaping materials storage yard, a truck wrecking yard and so on on the east side of Cluff Avenue just north of E. Lockeford Street. The County Planning Commis- sion had referred the matter back to the Lodi Planning Commission, according to Mr. Baumbach, for review and comment, and at that time, the Lodi Planning Commission recommended approval of the use permit subject to certain conditions such as street dedications, street improvements, drainage, etc. The matter was then appealed to the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, and the Board of Supervisors had continued the matter, asking that the City of Lodi review the matter and apprise the County as to the position of the City of Lodi regarding the proposed industrial development in the Cluff Road area and its effect on the draft General Plan amend- ments of the County. Mr. Baumbach stated that he would like to see this area zoned "industrial" for its intended use in the future and that he feels that 20 years is a long way off to continue or defer any development of the area. Mr. Baumbach then asked the Council to forward to the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors a recommendation in favor of "industrial" zoning for this area. Following inquiry, Community Development Director Schroeder explained that the County's General Plan is adopted for a development period of time - twenty years- and that if land -use development is extended over that 20 year period, the County designates it as being an agricultural land use. City Manager Glaves stated that it should be recog- nized that the Council can't change the General Plan without benefit of notice and public hearing. Mr. Glaves also apprised the Council that the City has re- ceived letters from three property owners in the area indicating an interest in annexation. Mr. Harold Baker, Claude C. Wood Company, Lodi, also addressed the Council on the matter stating that he felt the Council should give consideration to allow- ing these people to develop their property other than agricultural and that he felt it is unfair to the prop- erty owners in that area to be locked into some phase that extended for such a long period of time. Mr. George Ferrero, 844 Virginia Avenue, Lodi also addressed the Council on the matter emphasizing the urgency of the matter. Mr. Ferrero stated that use permits in the area were delayed by the County to allow time to receive notification from the City as to its intention regarding the zoning for this area. Mr. Ferrero also stated that he felt it was totally unfair to -4- 39f Minutes of April 7, 1976, continued those people whc have invested so much mz-ney speculating on property in this area and now have to wait 20 years tc make the.r investment good. Mr. Glaves atated that a letter had been sent to the San Joaquin County Planning Commission on March 31, 1976 apprising tha: body of the fact that the Lodi General Plan was amended less than a year ago to designate the. Cluff Read area in Phase 5 - Industrial or ur_classified industrial and that Phase 5 areas are intended to remain unclassified until substantial land in earlier phases is developed and utility sere -ices are adequate to support the urban- ized land use, Discussion foiiowed with questions being directed to Staff and to the Council, Mayor Hughes then reiterated that the Council could not take action on the matter at this meeting and re- emphasized that the phasing as adopted by Council was based on the City's known ability to extend utilities to that area.
