Minutes of March 17, 1965 continued
Manager Glaves gave an outline of the proposal which
would provide for the development of five or more acres
as a unit, -giving the developer considerable latitude
in designing his development, the plans and scheduling
of which would have to he approved by the Planning Com-
mission and the City Council. The following people
spoke in favor of a P -D zone:. Mr. C. L. Jones, 900
Victor Road, said that under the present ordinance there
is no provision for cluster type development. He has
plans for a cluster type medical -dental center which
would not be permitted under the present ordinance.
_ Mr. Frank Zemke, 900 Victor Road, stated that the cluster
type development has been popular in other parts of the
state and has been successfully controlled in Southern
California. No one else in the audience spoke for the
proposal and there was no one who spoke against it.
Vice -Mayor Dow closed the public hearing portion of the
hearing.
Councilman Culbertson stated he was still opposed to
the wide open portion of the ordinance; there are no
restrictions on height or density. He felt it was just
a means of bypassing regulations and that the height
and density regulations in the least restrictive areas
should hold., He contended that if a building was
allowed to go over 65 feet in a P -D zone it should be
_. allowed in a commercial zone also. Councilman Kirsten
said the intent of the P -D zone was to give the developer
a free rein to express his creativity, but that the
City would have control over the development. Council-
man Walton said that a developer could have something
of value for a five -acre parcel that would not be per -
witted in other zones. Councilman Culbertson said
that was how the Council could get into trouble. City
Wanager Glaves.said it was incumbent on the Council to
use standards in other zones as a maximum, that the P -D
-zone should not. be used as a "back -door" to evade
:201 standards. According to Mr. Glaves, if the Council
is going to consider changing minimum and maximum
criteria, the rest of the zoning.ordinance should be
changed. The Council then discussed the staging of
P -D development so that.the entire.area would be com-
mitted. Councilman Walton moved the introduction of
Ordinance No. 783 establishing a P..D Planned Development
District as recommended by the Planning Commission.
His motion was seconded by Councilman Kirsten and carried
by -the following vote:
AYES: Councilmen - KIRSTEN, WALTON and DOW

SIGN Public Hearing on the proposed sign ordinance having
ORDINANCR been continued from the meeting of January 6, 1965, the
Vice -Mayor asked it -anyone in.the audience wished to
be heard. Mr. Bob Peters of the Tokay Bowl, 620 S.
Cherokee -Lane. -asked -if a letter had been received from
the Lodi District Chamber -of Commerce withdrawing its
endorsement of the ordinance. The City Clerk stated
no such letter had been received. Mr. Les Dabritz,
Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, explained that the
letter recommending -adoption -of; -the sign ordinance had
been from the Chamber's Civic Affairs Committee and that
it had not been considered by -.the Chamber 8oard of
Directors, so that no stand had been taken by the Chamber.
Mr. C. L. Jones, Chairman.of the Civic Affairs Committee,
reported that the Committee had recommended the adoption
of the ordinance insofar as it met State requirements
-.2
Is()
[Minutes of March 17, 1935 continued
in connection with the freeway beautification program
financed by the State. Wr. Lindsay P. Marshall, repre-
senting Shell Oil Company, presented results of a survey
which had been conducted since January at the Shell
service station at US 99 and Victor Road, where a 73 -
foot sign had been erected last year. According to
the survey, of the 78 motorists interviewed, 755 were
attracted to the station as a result of sighting the
sign from the freeway, 8875 indicated the sign height
appeared to be adequate while the balance felt it
could be higher, and 705'a indicated they rely upon signs
rather than actual station visibility to direct them
to service stations. Mr. Warshall stated that the sign
ordinance would require Shell to remove its sign,
which had been erected at considerable cost, or reduce
its height. Mr. B. Shannon spoke against the sign
ordinance and said that as far as landscaping the free-
way was concerned, Assemblyman Wonagan and Senator
Short could work for the City. Nr. Bob Peters of the
Tokay Bowl said he objected to height limitations. He
also mentioned there was a hazardous flashing sign at
Lodi Avenue and Central Avenue that should be eliminated.
The Tokay Bowl sign is 55 feet in height and is more
than 500 feet from the freeway so would not comply with
the proposed ordinance.
Vice -Mayor Dow asked if there were any recommendations
from the administration. Mr. Glaves said no, that the
Council has to determine what it wants. Councilman
Culbertson said there were two areas of conflict: height
and flashing or animated signs. He said other areas
of the ordinance need clarification and asked if there
was some way to control use permits.. Councilman Walton
stated that flashing signs were not objectionable to
him per se. He felt, in general, moving signs were
not offensive, but perhaps should be regulated where
they are near stop signs and such other areas in which
they are hazardous to traffic. He said the Council
should decide on what restrictions it wants to make,
but could not remove all signs categorically as he felt
it would be going out of bounds in regulating business.
Mr. Glaves explained that the State required that bill-
boards be prohibited within 500 feet of the freeway
in order to have freeway landscaping, but the State
has no objections to identification signs. The Shell
sign is considered an identification sign; however, the
proposed ordinance would limit the height to 50 feet.
After some discussion it was moved by Councilman Kirsten
that a 35 -foot height limitation as set forth in the
ordinance for areas other than the freeway be approved.
His motion was seconded by Councilman Walton, it being
understood that this did not apply to temporary holiday
signs. Councilman Culbertson offered a substitute
suggestion to set the limit of signs to the height of
buildings allowed in any specific none. Other members
of the Council did not favor the suggestion. The
motion to restrict signs to 35 feet in areas other
than the freeway as set forth in the ordinance carried
by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen - KIRSTEN, WALTON and DOW
Noes1 Councilmen - CULBERTSON
Absent: Councilmen - BROWid
The Council then gave consideration to the limits
which should comprise the freeway area. City Manager
Glaves suggested that, inasmuch as some parts of
- 3 -
181
Minutes of March 17, 1965 continued
Cherokee Lane were further than 500 feet from the
freeway, a line around 100 feet west of the west line
of Cherokee Lane be the west limit line so as to take
in.the frontage property on Cherokee Lane. Councilman
Kirsten moved that the freeway area for identification
signs designed for viewing from the freeway be between
a line 500 feet east of the east freeway right of way
line and a line 500 feet west of the west freeway right
of way line or 50 feet west of the west line of the
Cherokee Lane right of way, whichever was greater. His
motion was seconded by Councilman Culbertson. After
further discussion, the motion passed by the following
vote:
- 4 -
Ayes: Councilmen - CULBERTSO4, KIRSTEN and DOW
Noes; _ Councilmen - WALTON
Absent: Councilmen - BRM -A4
Discussion then centered on height of signs in the
freeway area. Councilman Culbertson said there were
three signs at present which would violate a 50 -foot
limitation (as set forth in the proposed ordinance).
Councilman Kirsten voiced concern about people who have
to look at the signs every day. City Manager Glaves
asked the Council to consider its goal in adopting a
sign ordinance. After some discussion, Councilman
Walton moved that the height limit of signs in the free-
way area be established at 75 feet. His motion was
seconded by Councilman Culbertson. Councilman Kirsten
said a 75 -foot height would compound the problem and
would be a detriment to the City. The motion passed
by the following votes
Ayes: Councilmen - CULBERTSCU, WALTON and DOW
Noes: Councilmen - ISIRSTEN
Absent: Councilmen - BROWN -
The Council then discussed flashing and animated -signs.
Councilman Kirsten said he has noticed some which were
traffic hazards and asked if such signs could be defined
in the ordinance. ,Councilman Walton suggested that
the administration could get"some limitations on
flashing signs. City Planager.Glaves said perhaps it
could be according to location, color, etc. City
Attorney Mullen said the criteria would have to be
'
specific. Councilman Culbertson moved that further
consideration be continued to April 21, 1965. His
motion was seconded by Councilman Walton. Vice -Mayor
"'
Dow pointed out that this action would not close the
public hearing portion'of the hearing. The motion
carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen - CULBF-'TSCN WALTON and DOW

RE R/TVJ ON the dedication of 5 feet on the Stockton Street side of
STCCXTCN ST. his property located at the southeast corner of Stockton
and Lodi Avenue which had been approved by the Council
at its meeting of March 3. In exchange for the right
of way Mr. Lehr is also asking for improvement of the
Stockton Street side of his property including gutter,
curb, sidewalk, and driveway into side -rear entrance
into his building. Councilman Culbertson said the City
would be widening the street at that point and he moved
that the City accept the offer of Mr. Lehr for a 5 -foot
right of way on Stockton Street in exchange for curb,
gutter, sidewalk, and driveways on Lodi Avenue and
Stockton Street. His motion was seconded by Councilman
Walton and carried.
MILLS REQUEST A letter was read from Mr. Lindsay P. Marshall, attorney
FOR OUTSIDS for Mrs. A. F. Vd lls, requesting outside water service
WATER S:.NICE in order to irrigate 45 acres of,vineyard owned by Mrs.
Mills. The property is adjacent to the city limits.
Use of the water could be restricted, within limits, to
night-time hours. City Manager Glaves reported that the
City has a long-standing policy not to grant outside
service unless the property owner signs a letter agreeing
to annex to the City. He said the only exceptions were
in granting irrigation water for the Lauchland property
for one season and also to the Pope property which was
a special case having to do with -one of the City's wells
and need for right of way. IRr. Glaves said there was
nothing to prohibit annexation of Mrs. Mills' property

and he could not recommend approval of the request.
Councilman Walton moved that the request be denied.
There was no second. Councilman Culbertson said he
would like more information. City Attorney Mullen
suggested that the matter be continued and said he would
get in touch with Mr. Marshall concerning possible
annexation of the property. Councilman Kirsten moved
that the request of Mrs. Hills be held over to the next
regular or adjourned meeting to discuss the matter more
fully. The motion was seconded by Councilman Culbertson
and carried.

Colo-iLTIITY
Mr. Glaves stated a letter had been received from the
ACTIUI COUNCIL
Community Action Council of San Joaquin County informing
the Council that in order to qualify for an initial
planning grant (to implement the Anti -Poverty Program)
from the Federal Government, 109 of the budget had to
be furnished locally. At the time the letter was
written the Board of Supervisors was waiting for action
by the State Legislature which would permit the Board
to contribute, and in order not to lose the Federal
funds, the Community Action Council was asking each city
`
in the County to contribute $350. Mr. Glaves said that
since the letter had been received, the Board of
Supervisors has granted $2400 for this purpose although
the County Counsel has raised_ a question as to its
legality. Since there is no immediate urgency, Mr.
Glaves suggested that action on the request be delayed.
Councilman Culbertson moved the Community Action Council
be informed that the City would not contribute to the
Community Action program until the City has more infor-
mation thereon. His motion was seconded by Councilman
Kirsten and carried.

CHLORINATION The State [later Pollution Control Board has stated that
OF EFFLUENT the City's sewage treatment is deficient in that the
City does not chlorinate the effluent and this situation
should be corrected. Mr. Carleton Yoder, the City's
Consulting Sanitary Engineer, has given the City a

throughout the life of the present plant. On motion
of Councilman Walton, Kirsten second, the City Council
authorized Mr. Yoder to proceed with plans and specifi-
cations for chlorinating equipment.
1964 EDITION The Public Works department is recommending the adoption
UNIFORM
of the 1964 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code to
PLUMBING CODE
bring present requirements up to date. The City is
-using the 1955 edition. The ordinance adopting the
code would also increase fees for plumbing permits and
eliminate bituminous fiber pipe for sanitary house
sewers. On motion of Councilman Walton, Kirsten second,
the Council set the matter for public hearing on April 71
1965.
HEINLE
Mr. Glaves reported that an offer. has been received
OFFER RE
from Mr. Eldo Heinle to exchange right of way on
SACRAMENTO
Sacramento Street at Tamarack Drive for curb and gutter
ST. R/W
along his property on Tamarack Drive as well as Sacramento
Street. The policy of the City has been to install
curb, gutter -and sidewalk only along the side on which
the right of way is dedicated. Mr. Heinle is interested
in having only curb and gutter installed, but the City
Manager recommended that the City's policy be maintained
and that Mr. Heinle be offered curb, gutter and sidewalk
along Sacramento Street in exchange for right of way.
On motion of Councilman Walton, Culbertson second, the
Council instructed that Mr. Heinle be informed the City
would maintain -its present policy and not accept his
offer.
MARCH 31
Vice -Mayor Dow suggested that the next item on the
DIEFTI14G
agenda, being the recommendation of the Pension Board
concerning an actuarial study by the State Employees'
Retirement Association, be postponed to an adjourned
meeting on March 31. Mr. Glaves said he was recommending
a meeting on March 31 so that final action could be made
on a bond election. There is a possibility that Stone
and Youngberg will be ready with their financial report
by that date. Also, the Council should make a decision
on the hospitalization insurance by the end of this
month. Indications are that the premium for employees
will be up 40A and for dependents 2475.
LEASE OF City Attorney Mullen stated that he has been negotiating
:TASTE DISPOSAL with Mr. Pete J. Kooyman for purchase of 130 acres
SITE adjoining the City's 303 -acre waste site. Mr. Kooyman
is interested in renting the City's acreage for grazing
and the City's present tenant, I•Ir. George Emde, appar-
ently is willing to let PIz. Kooyman take over the lease.
Mr. Kooyman's attorney, Mr. Robert Mertz, has submitted
a proposal to rent the land for $20 per acre. Mr. Glaves
said there are some problems in connection with leasing
the land because of the City's operation and it was
important to have a tenant who would be willing to
cooperate with the City. He said the perimeter fencing
belongs to the City, but the cross fencing belongs to
Mr. Emde. Mr. Glaves suggested that the City maintain
the ditches, but that Sir. Kooyman should negotiate with
Nx. Emde on the fencing, the price of which Mr. Emde
has set at $2,500. According to Mr. b:ertz, Mr. Kooyman
- 8 -
-.86
i•linutes of Hazch 17, 1965 continued
would prefer to have the City own the cross fencing.
The City Manager said it should be made clear in the
lease that the City would not adjust the rent in the
case of adverse conditions such as water damage to
crops. Councilman Kirsten moved that the City Manager
be authorized to negotiate with Air. Kooyman or his
representative for lease of the City's waste disposal
site in accordance vrith the City idanagerIs recommen-
dations. The motion was seconded by Councilman Walton,
with the understanding that the City Manager would have
some flexibility in reaching agreement on the cross
fencing. The motion passed by unanimous vote.
RAI AT
City Manager Glaves explained that in order to correct
N14 CORNER OF
the existing deficiency at the Stockton Street inter-
STOCKTON ST.

of property on the corner belonging to HIr. W. J. Robinson,
Mr. Robinson has offered to exchange this property for
installation of sidewalk along his Stockton Street front-
age and construction of a driveway on Lodi Avenue by
the City.. It will be necessary to relocate a sign
because of the relocation of the curb and gutter and
Mr. Robinson is also asking that the City pay for moving
the sign, the cost of which would be around $37. Mr.
Glaves recommended that Mr. Robinson's offer be accepted.
Councilman Walton moved that the City accept the right
of way deed for property at the northwest corner of
Stockton and Lodi Avenue in exchange for installation
of sidewalk and driveways along the Stockton Street and
Lodi Avenue frontages of i-ir. Robinson's property and
relocation of a sign on Lodi Avenue in accordance with
Mr. Robinson's offer. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Kirsten and carried.
