By Order of the Lodi City Council Alice M. Reimche City Clerk Dated: October 16, 1985 October 2, 1985(, (, Ms. Alice Reimche, City Clerk City of Lodi 1:.. 221 W. Pine St. Lodi, CA 95240 Re: Item 13 of Planning Commission conditions of approval of Johnson -Tandy Tentative Map (copy attached). Dear Alice: we wish to appeal the above referenced condition relative to the require- ment that the developer pay the cost of design and construction of the Century Blvd./Cherokee Lane Frontage Road/Freeway 99 On Ramp Intersection. It is our feeling that since this intersection serves a much greater public need than just the Johnson Ranch Subdivision, the City has most, if not all, of the financial responsibility to redesign and construct this intersection. The facts upon which we've based our opinion are as follows: (1) The alignment of Century Blvd. was set by the City and, until now, has not had a specific design plan upon which to base cost estimates and/or the development plan of the adjacent property. Had the design been studied and the alignment been moved to our southerly property line, the intersection in question would have been simplified and the development plan of Johnson Ranch more desireable. In addition, the 80-100 foot right of way required for Century Blvd. comes entirely from Johnson Ranch property rather than sharing the burden between properties that a more southerly alignment would have accomplished. (2) Century Blvd. is designed as a major east west collector street that will run through Lodi from Cherokee Lane to Lower Sacramento Road. It is obviously not just a street to be used by the Johnson Ranch Subdivision. Likewise, the Century Blvd./Cherokee Lane Frontage Road intersection will serve all of Lodi as it will include the exist- ing Freeway 99 On Ramp. (3) The present Cherokee Lane Frontage Road/Freeway 99 On Ramp intersec- tion is located entirely on City of Lodi property. We have been made aware of the above .referenced recommendation and/or condition at numerous meetings held on this property over the past five years. We did not choose to appeal this condition before, because, as you know, the property has been under litigation until this year and, therefore, undevelopeable until now. To date we have provided engineering and have worked with the City to achieve an acceptable design that both the City and the State will approve. Me. Alice Reimche, City Clerk Page 2 October 2, 1985 Please know that we will continue to work with the City to successfully resolve this intersection problem, however, we would appreciate your consid- eration of our request for a fair determination of responsibilities in this matter.
