HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - October 21, 1987 PHCITY COUNCTL MEETING nrrnRrp 21, IG97 PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of TRAFFIC ORDINANCE the City Clerk, Mayor Olson called for the Public Hearing to consider reintroduction of Ordinance No. 1402 CC -45(a) "Regulating the Use of and Traffic Upon the Streets, CC -48(a) Sidewalks, and Other Public and Private Places in the City CC -149 of Lodi; the Use, Parking, and Control of Vehicles Thereon; and Repealing Ordinance No. 493, and all Ordinances and Parts of Ordinances Amendatory Thereof and in Conflict Herewith" and the Accompanying Traffic Resolution. The matter was introduced by Staff who advised the Council that the need for a new Traffic Orainance had been discussed with the City Council at its shirtsleeve meeting on June 23, 1987 and regular meetings on July 15 and August 5, 1987. The ordinance was introduced on July 15. However, a number of revisions have been made and it should be reintroduced. Briefly, the shortcomings of the existing ordinance are: - Obsolete sections and wording. - Requires actions by ordinances that could be taken by resolution. - Does not include authority for some types of traffic controls. - Requires Council action on many minor items that should be handled by staff. - Does not include provisions for STAA trucks as required by California law. - Is deficient in restrictions on trucks in residential and commercial areas. The First five deficiencies are handled by the rewritten ordinance and the adoption of a Traffic Resolution. (The resolution would be adopted when the ordinance is adopted, after its introduction.) Truck and trailer parking As prohibited off the established truck routes. None of these changes have been controversial. The sixth deficiency (trucks in residential areas) is being handled in the new ordinance and resolution by the establishment of truck routes. The recommended truck routes were shown on an exhibit presented for Council. This has been a source of major controversy focusing on Turner Road, primarily the residential segment between Mills Avenue and Church Street. 2i)(? 4174 '1800 HAKIFFMI.

Pine Street Lodi, CA 95240 Dear Sirs and Madam: 802 West Turner Road - d CA i'5Gr'.�. .- _ October 21, 193CCEIVED' 4HCE M- REIMCHE CITY CLERK CITY OF LOOT The Lodi City Council has proposed an ordinance which would authorize designation of Turner Road, City of Lodi, as a truck route. Turner Road, within the Lodi city limits is an east -west four lane road bisecting a residential area of the city. Along with numerous single family dwellings bordering Turner Road there is also a convalescent home, Gross Convalescent Home, and a school, Lakewood Elementary School. Also bordering Turner Road is Lodi Lake and the connecting Wilderness Area, home to numerous native wildlife including owls, egrets, and muskrats among others. Foot traffic along Turner Road includes children going to and from Lakewood and Woodbridge Schools and elderly people in wheelchairs and walkers from both Gross Convalescent Home and Arbor Convalescent Home. It appears that the ordinance has been proposed without prior certification and completion of an environmental impact report as required by California Public Resources, code section 21151. The proposed ordinance is a project within the meaning of California Public Resources code section 21151 and is defined in California Public Resources Code section 21065. (Also see 60 Ops. Atty. Gen. 335, 9/30/77.) The proposed ordinance has a significant effect on the environment as defined in California Public Resources Code section 21060.5 for the following reasons: (1) increased truck traffic means increased noise thus decreasing the enjoyment of the land by both residents and the thousands of people using Lodi Lake each year; (2) increased truck traffic means increased noise affecting the psychological well-being of nearby residents as well as the children attending school; (3) increased truck traffic means increased noise affecting suitability of the wildlife area for native wildlife; (4) increased truck traffic means increased air pollution affecting the health and well being of residents, school children and all native plants and wildlife; (5; increased Lodi Citv Counsel October 21, 1.987 Page Two truck traffic would significantly decrease local property values; (6) increased truck traffic would pose increased threat of death or great bodily injury to residents and school children who must cross the street; (7) increased truck traffic would adversely affect areas of historical or aesthetic significance such as Lodi Lake, Lodi Lake Wilderness Area, and the new proposed Wine & Roses County Inn --deemed by many a local historical site. Although the trucking industry may profit from this proposal, I urge the Lodi City Counsel to be concerned with both dollars and sense, and to make the sensible and fundamental interests of Lodi's residents, not the trucking industry's, of primary concern. The proposal should be defeated. �Sincerely, JAMES EVANS BURLINGTON JEB:ml cc: Air Quality Control District L. Grewal P. 0.

Newii Sentinel — Wed., Oct. 21, 1987 (Continued from Page One his official retirement was ac- cepted unanimously by the board Of trustees Tuesday evening. "It is with deep regret we accept this resignation and retirement," said Tb,:stee Ann Johnston. "We Will miss you, Tom, and your wisdom. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts-" Bandehn's resignation comes less than a year after former district Superintendent EIlerth Larson ended his long career with the district. Larson predicted a wave of retirements within the next few years due to the many top school officials who are nearing retirement age. Bandelin's resig- nation appears to be a sign of that predicted trend. Bandelin said he had no im- mediate plans for his retirement. "I'll just finish out the semester and worry about it after that," he said. "I'm sure I'll keep busy- This is the startof a new career." A graduate of West Division High School in Milwaukee, Wis-, Bandelin attended Milwaukee State Teachers College, Stockton Junior College and College of the Pacific. He earned a Purple Heart for his U.S. Army service during World War II, having fought In the Rhineland and Central Europe- He was honorably discharged as a staff sergeant in June 1946. Bandelin later earned his ad- ministrative credentials and work- ed his way up the ranks. Active In the educational field and community, his involvements include membership in WASC Ac- creditation Team for Secondary Schools, service as a Lodi planning commissioner- He was also honored as Lodi's Outstanding Young Man of the Year for 1961, and helped initiate the foreign stu- dent exchange program in the TOA4 BANDFLh4 district. The burden now falls with the district to chose a repla, ment. The recruitment process will begin within the next few days. said Su- perintendent Neil Schmidt. with a recommendation coning before the board of trustees as ear!v as late December. "It will be difficult to find a can- didate of his caliber. Tom brings and brought a great deal of experi- ence and sensitivity to the district," Schmidt said. A reorganization within the top ranks of the school district will be explored, he added. "We are a growing district and this provides us with an opportunity (to consider a reorganization)," Schmidt said. "But it needs study." One of those who may be af- fected by Bandelin's resignation is Ron Alsup, assistant superintend- ent in charge of kindergarten through eighth -grade students. "Since I came here seven years ago. Tom has been a very suppor- tive person to work with," Aisup said. "I really leaned on him and there wasn't a time be wasn't will- ing to answer a question. The district will miss him."

Later, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater denied that Reagan's remarks indicated a change in his position, but said the President is "willing to listen" to details of the plans developed by congressional Democrats. Reagan's remarks contrasted with his denunciations of "big spenders in Congress" and his vows to veto any tax increase that might reach his desk. Earlier, he ordered temporary curbs on federal spending, laying the groundwork for harsh, automa- tic cuts unless the administration and Congress resolve their frac- UOU& dispute over the budget.

WL are fortunate to be a par ir of this (_ommuTi ity_ However, we believe the City Council is about to make a terrible mistake that wouio definitely alter the quality of life for a large group of the city's residents. The issue is the possibility of declaring Turner Road a designated Truck Route. Turner Road should NOT be declared a Truck Route. Moreover, the road should be have a BAN on ALL TRUC,S over five tons between Mills on the West and Church on the East. This is a residential street, filled with beautiful homes and a large grammar school. The road supports few businesses, retail shopping centers or service stations. Declaring Turner Road a Truck Route will bring unbearable noise pollution, and the exhaust will bring air pollution. There is also the danger of serious accidents involving semi -trucks. It would seem truckers would not want to burden their stressful job by having to drive on residential streets. We hope you will follow the lead of such cities as Palo Alto that have kept their city streets free of heavy trucxs. Your constituents will applaud yc•uw efforts to maintain the value of their homes and the quality of the air and noise they are subjected to. Additionally, the last week or so have bern absolute heaven along Turner Road while the road construction near General Mills has been underway. The stopping of mainly through trunk traffic has drastically reduced the ambient noise level in our backyard, making life much more pleasurable. lncerely, E,r;ti l_ i rlda MCCu1 1 i ' LEGAL NOTICE WHEREAS, the Lodi City Council, at its regular meeting of May 6, 1987, initiated adopti(;;) proceedings of a new traffic ordinance and the accompanying traffic resolution; and WHEREAS, the proposed traffic ordinance addresses but is not limited to the following subjects: - Traffic Administration - Enforcement an( 'Ibedience to Traffic'Regulations - Traffic Controi Devices - Speed Regulations - Turning Movements - Stop and Yicld Intersections - Railroad Trains Pedestrians Rights and Duties - Regulations for Bicycles - Stopping, Standing and Parking Permit Parking - Regulation of Commercial Vehicle Routes and Parking - Removal of Vehicles Notice is hereby given that on Wednesday, October 21, 1987 the City Council of the City of Lodi, at its regular meeting to be held on that date at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers located at 221 West Pine Street, Lodi, California, will conduct a public hearing to consider a new traffic ordinance for the City of Lodi and the accompanying traffic resolution.

Pine Straet Lodi, CA 95240 Dear Sirs and Madam: 902 West Tu.rnet ?load Lodi, CA 95240 October 21, I98,�C%L I VEJ n ALICE M, REWCHE CITY CLERK CITY OF LODI The Lodi City Council has proposed an ordinance which would authorize designation of Tur,.er Road, City of Lodi, as a truck route. Turner Road, witF:an the Lodi city limits is an east -west four lane road bisr.cting a residential area of the city. Along with numecous single family dwellings bordering Turner Road there is also a convalescent home, Gross Convalescent Home, and a school, Lakewood Elementary School. Also bordering Turner Road is Lodi Lake and the connecting Wilderness Area, home to numerous native wildlife including cwls, egrets, and muskrats among others. Foot traffic along Turner Road includes children going to and from LF.kewood and Woodbridge Schools and elderly people in wheelchairs and walkers from both Gross Convalescent Home and Arbor Convalescent Home. It appears that the ordinance has been proposed without prior certification and completion of an environmental impact report as required by California Public Resources, code section 211-a1. The proposed ordinance is a project within the meaning of California Public Resources code section 21151 and is defined in California Public Resources Code section 21065. (Also see 60 Ops. Atty. Gen. 335, 9/30/77.) The proposed ordinance has a significant effect an the environment as defined .in California Public Resources Cede section 21060.5 for the following reasons: (1) increased truck traffic means increased noise thus decreasing the enjoyment of the land by both residents and the thousands of people using Lodi Lake each year; (2) increased truck traffic means increased noise affecting the psychological well-beinc of nearby residents as well as the children attending school; (3) increased truck traffic means increased nozse affectirg suitability of the wildlife area for native wildlife; (4) increased truck traffic means increased air pollution affecting the health and well being of residents, school children and all native plants and wildlife; (5) increased t Lodi City Counsel October 21, 1987 Page Two truck traffic would significantly decrease local property values; (6) increased truck traffic would pose increased threat of death or a_reat bodily injury to residents and school children who must cross the street; (7) increased truck traffic would adversely affect areas of historical or aesthetic significance such as Lodi Lake, Lodi Lake Wilderness Area, and the new proposed Wine & Roses County Inn --deemed by many a local historical site. Although the trucking industry may profit from this proposal, I urge the Lodi City Counsel to be concerned with both dollars and sense, and to make the sensible and fundamental. interests of Lodi's residents, not the trucking industry's, of primary concern. The proposal should be defeated. Sincerely, JAMES EVANS BURLINGTON JEB:ml cc: Air Quality Control District L. Grewal P. O.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The need for a new Traffic Ordinance has been discussed with the City Council at its shirtsleeve meeting on June 23, 1987 and regular meetings on July 15 and August 5, 1987. The ordinance was introduced on July 15, however, a number of revisions have been made and it should be reintroduced. Briefly, the shortcomings of the existing ordinance are: ° Obsolete sections and wording. ° Requires actions by ordinances that could be taken by resolution. ° Does not include authority for some types of traffic controls. ° Require-- Council action on many minor items that should he handled by staff. ° Does not include provisions for STAA trucks as required by California law. • Is deficient in restrictions on trucks in residential and commercial areas. The first five deficiencies are handled by the rewritten ordinance and the adoption of a Traffic Resolution. (The resolution would be adopted when the ordinance is adopted, after its introduction.) Truck and trailer parking is prohibited off the established truck routes. None of these changes have been controversial. APPROVED: FILE NO. IN RS 7n+.. P E PPS'0N1 �1 LVi3f? .Cel CTP.4FFI6/TXI .02M October 14, 1987 City Council October 21, 1987 PaGe ? The sixth deficiency (trucks in residentiai areas) is being handled in the new ordinance and resolution by the establishment of truck routes. The recommended truck routes are shown on Exhibit A. This has been a source of major controversy focusing cn Turner Road, primarily the residential segment between Mills Avenue and Church Street. The trucking industry has expressed a need for Turner Road for a number of reasons: It provides direct access to Woodbridge and I-5 from the northeast part of Lodi. Without it, the only east -west route would be Kettleman Lane. It is a direct route between Highway 99 and General Mills. ° Without it, travel distances will increase, causing additional congestion and air pollution. Turner Road residents are opposed to the route. They fea- establishment of a truck route on Turner will: ° Increase truck traffic. ° Increase noise. ° Decrease safety. Lead tc truck parking in front of reside -ices. Staff does not feel truck traffic will increase significantly. As it stands now, all the trucks that want to use Turner Road are using it. Since there are no other through east -west routes in the area, it is unlikely there are trucks that will be forced off other streets, onto Turner Road, by the establishment of truck routes. The only foreseeable increase will be due to overall increases in traffic as the City grows and increases due to General Mills expansion. The proposed ordinance has been revised to implement new State legislation regarding truck parking in residentially zoned areas. In effect, truck parking will be prohibited on the residential portions of truck routes, except while making pickups or deliveries (Ordinance Section 13.4), In addition to receiving comments from residents and representatives of the local trucking industry, staff has participated in an informational meeting held by the Chamber of Commerce and has received u,,mments from Caltrans. The Chamber will be making a presentation at the Council meeting. Caltrans' letter is attached.

Oak Street Truck Routes Lodi, CA 95241 Dear Cecil: Caltrans has reviewed the proposed truck routes for the City of Lodi and offers the following comments: The proposed plan would restrict truck traffic on Turner Road. This restriction would impact Routes 12 and 99. Route 99 southbound truck traffic which delivers to the northwest area of Lodi would be required to use Route 99 to Route 12, and then. Lower Sacramento Road. With the current proposal, trucks which deliver from the I-5 to the Cluff Avenue/Victor Road area will impact Route 12 through Lodi and Route 99. The current proposal would only provide one east/west truck route through Lodi. The proposed truck route plan would also impact the modified half clover interchange at Route 99 and Victor Road (Route 12). It should also be noted that the Route 99 southbound off ramp and the northbound on ramp at Victor Road are prohibited to STAA trucks. The other two ramps (Route 99 northbound off ramp and southbound on ramp at Victor Road) are signed for STAA truck use. Caltrans appreciates the opportunity to comment on the pro- posed truck routes for the City of Lodi. Any questions concerning the comments may be directed to Ken Baxter at Caltrans, telej-hone number (209) 948-7936.

I am a citizen of the United States and a resident of the County aforesaid; I am over the age of eighteen years, and not a party to or interested in the above - entitled matter. 1 am :he principal clerk of the printer of the Lodi News -Sentinel, a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published daily, except Sundays and holidays, in the City of Lodi, California, County of San Joaquin, and which news- paper has been adjudged a newspaper of general circulation by the Superior Court, Department 3, of the County of San Joaquin, State of California, under the date of May 26th, 1953, Case Number 65990; that the notice, of which the annexed is a printed copy (set in type not smaller than non- pareil), has been published in each regular and entire issue of said newspaper and not in any sup- plement thereof on the following dates, to -wit: ............... all in the year 19.....: . I certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. 5D at Lodi, California, this ......?� s ~ day of %cG. 'J ...............: .......... Signature PROOF OF PUBLICATION CITY COUNCIL MEETING The trucking industry has expressed a need for Turner Road for a number of reasons: - It provides direct access to Woodbridge and I-5 from the northeast part of Lodi. - Without it, the only east -west route would be Kettleman Lane. - It is a direct route between Highway 99 and General Mills. - Without it, travel distances will increase, causing additional congestion and air pollution. Turner Road residents are opposed to the route. They fear establishment of a truck route on Turner will: - Increase truck traffic. - Increase noise. - Decrease safety. - Lead to truck parking in front of residences. Staff does not feel truck traffic will increase significantly. As it stands now, all the trucks that want to use Turner Road are using it. Since there are no other through east -west routes in the area, it is unlikely there are trucks that will -be forced off other streets, onto Turner Road, by the establishment of truck routes. The only foreseeable increase will be due to overall increases in traffic as the City grows and increases due to General Mills expansion. The proposed ordinance has been revised to implear--nt new State legislation regarding truck parking in residentially zoned areas. In effect, truck parking will be prohibited on the residential portions of truck routes, except while making pickups or deliveries (Ordinance Section 13.4). In addition to receiving comments from residents and representatives of the local trucking industry, Staff has participated in an informational meeting held by the Chamber of Commerce and has received comments from Caltrans. In considering the overall Lodi street network and impacts on businesses and traffic in Lodi, Staff feels the recommended truck routes as shown on an exhibit presented to Council should be adopted with the new Traffic Ordinance. The actual routes are named in the resolution, which will nct he adopted until the ordinance is adopted at tht� next Council meptinc;.

Turner Road, within the Lodi city limits is an east -west four lane road bisecting a residential area of the city. Along with numerous single family dwellings bordering Turner Road there is also a convalescent home, Gross Convalescent Home, and a school, Lakewood Elementary School. Also bordering Turner Road is Lodi Lake and the connecting Wilderness Area, home to numerous native wildlife including owls, egrets, and muskrats among others. Foot traffic along Turner Road includes children going to and from Lakewood and Woodbridge Schools and elderly people in wheelchairs and walkers from both Gross Convalescent Home and Arbor Convalescent Home. 'i T„ ...- _ CT T 1 C1:� .1,41, T� of 17 T TS`... R1 Rl� . OrTOBER 21> 193;. It appears that the ordinance has been proposed without prior certification and completion of an environmental impact report as required by California public Resources, code section 21151. The proposed ordinance is a project within the meaning of California Public Resources code section 21151 and is de`ined in California Public Resources Code section 21065. (Also see 60 Ops. Atty. Gen. 335, 9/30/77.) The proposed ordinance has a significant effect on the environment as defined in California public Resources Code Section 21060.5 for the following reasons: (1) increased truck traffic means increased noise thus decreasing the enjoyment of the land by both residents and the thousands of people using Lodi Lake each year; (2) increased truck traffic means increased noise affecting the psychological well-being of nearby residents as well as the children attending school; (3) increased truck traffic means increased noise affecting suitability of the wildlife area for native wildlife; (4) increased truck traffic means increased air pollution affecting the health and well being of the residents, school children and ail native plants and wildlife; (5) increased truck traffic would significant) decrease local property values; �6) increased truck traffic would pose increased threat of death or great bodily injury to residents and school children who must cross the street; (7) increased truck traffic would adversely affect areas of historical or aesthetic significance such as Lodi Lake, Lodi Lake Wilderness Area, and the new proposed Wine and Roses County Inn --deemed by many a local historical site. Although the trucking industry may profit from this proposal, I urge the Lodi City Counsel to be concerned with both dollars and sense, and to make the sensible and fundamental interests of Lodi's resident, not the trucking industry's, of primary concern. The proposal should be defeated. Sincerely, s/James Evans Burlington" There being no other persons wishing to address the Council on the matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING 0C TO' 8ER !j , 1987 SCHOOL STREET TRAFFIC STUDY RES. NO. 87-147 The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson. The following staff report was given by Public Works Director CC -45(a) Ronsko: CC -48(a) At the regular Council meeting of September 2, 1987, the City Council received a request regarding speed problems on School Street. At the request of the City Council, staff performed a traffic study on School Street in comparison to similar streets in the area. The study included 24-hour vehicle counts, radar speed surveys, a four-way stop control study, and an accident review. The traffic data on Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and Church Street north of Kettleman Lane, was compared to School Street. Traffic Volume Count The daily traffic volume un School Street is 2,130 vehicles. The traffic volume ort Church Street is more tt.an three times as much as School Street (6,710 vehicles per day). Lee Street has 1,030 vehicles per day and Pleasant Avenue has 480 vehicles per day. Radar Survey The prima facie limit on Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and School Street is 25 mph. Church Street from Kettleman Lane to Tokay Street has a posted speed limit of 35 mph. The results of the radar survey data showed that all three 25 mph streets have 85th percentile speeds greater than the prima facie limits. The 85th percentile speed is the speed at or below which 85% of the traffic is moving. This speed is a major factor in determining pasted speed limits. Smaller speed samples were taken on Lee Street and Pleasant Avenue due to the low traffic volumes. There could be a slight variation; in the speed results on Lee Street and Pleasant Avenue due to the smaller speed samples. CONTINUED SC HCi , STREET TRAF'i I,.^ S i IJDY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 21, 1987 Traffic Controls The traffic controls for Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and School Street are similar from Kettleman Lane to Vine Street. At Vine Street, two-way stop signs are on Lee Street and Pleasant Avenue. At School Street, the stop signs are on Vine Street. The two-way stop signs at Vine Street/ScKool Street are appropriate since the percentage volume split is 22/78. Four-way stop warrants are not justified at this location. Accident Review Staff reviewed the accident location map to determine the number of accidents on School Street from Kettleman Lane to Vine Street. In the last two years and eight months (January 1985 to August 1987), there have been a total of eight accident- An Exhibit presented for Council reviewed indicated the approximate locations of these accidents and others on Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and Church Street. Two of the eight accidents had unsafe speed as the primary collision factor. Of those two accidents, one was a hit-and-run with no witnesses and the other accident occurred because the .driver fell asleep. The primary solution to speed problems is police enforcement. Staff recommends the Police Department continue enf,)rcement on School Street. A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed to Staff. The following persons address the Council regarding the matter: a) Robert Riggle, 712 Cross Street, Lodi b) Joan Mattox, 829 South School Street, Lodi Following additional discussion, Council on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, adopted Resolution No. 87-147 establishing the installation of north/south stop signs on School Street at Vine Street.

COPE R J_209)311 -t-795 November 2, 1987 TO: Concerned Citizens SUBJECT: Trucks on Turner Road T NOMAS A PE' TV RSON r,1ICE M REIntCE-{i At meetings on July 15, August 5, and October 21, the Lodi City Council heard from both members of the trucking industry and residents of the Turner Road neighborhoods. Opinions have been expressed ranging from banning all trucks to establ`.s`ling a full-fledged truck route on Turner Road. The City has been placed on notice that the impacts of establishing a truck route are potentially signifi-ant, requiring an environmental assessment. This and the amount of controversy over the -ssue require that the issue and the impacts be thoroughly investigated. The Council has directed staff to pursue preparation of an Environmental Impact Report on this issue. Staff is presently evaluating inclusion of the truck route issue in the Circulation Element of the update of the General Plan which is now being worked on. At its October 21 meeting, the Council introduced a new Traffic Ordinance excluding the entire section on commercial vehicles and t.L-k routes. On November 18, the Council will consider just the commercial v,-nicle section with provisions for retaining only those weight limits presently in effect in the City. (These are M;:rray Strut, Holly give, and Tokay "treet east of Stockton Street.) Any actiun by tt,e Council to establish a weight limit on Turner Road would require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report because we are on notice that establishing a weight limit on Turner Road could also have significant ;enacts on the business community and other streets and their residents. It is unfortunate that the Council cannot proceed with examining the issue and seek a compromise acceptable to most. With the promise of legal action from either side of the issue and the opinion of our own sta°f `hat the City would be on shaky ground without an Environmental Impact Report, it would be irresponsible for the Council to act on the issue of trucks on Turner Road. We share your concern for the well-being of the City and will rust, for the resolution of this issue. Staff will keep you informed of the progress on this matter and of any meetings or hearings which will be held on the issue. Evelyn M.
