MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Public Works Department
TO: Community Development Director
FROM: Public Works Director
DATE: December 16, 1994
SUBJECT: Recommended Vesting Tentative Map Conditions for Towne Ranch, Unit 5
File #94S011
The following conditions of approval are required for the subject project per City codes
and standards, all to be accomplished prior to, or concurrent with, final map filing
unless noted otherwise and are based on the Planning Commission approval on
December 12, 1994:
1. Engineering and preparation of improvement plans and estimate per City Public
Improvement Design Standards for all public improvements prior to .final map filing.
Plans to include:
• Approved tentative map, signed by the Community Development Director,
• Grading, drainage and erosion control plan;
2. Abandonment/removal of wells, septic systems and underground tanks in
conformance with applicable City and County requirements and codes prior to
approval of public improvement plans.
3. Installation of all public utilities and street improvements within the limits of the map,
including a reverse frontage fence and approximate 10 -foot landscaping strip
conforming to City -approved design along Turner Road and Evergreen Drive.
Due to the possibility of multiple final maps for this project from previously approved
tentative maps and the uncertainty of the construction sequence, all improvements
within the limits of the map and the following "off-site" improvements will need to be
completed in conjunction with the first unit constructed:
• Installation of all public utilities and street improvements, including service
laterals, in Evergreen Drive between Sequoia Street and Turner Road.
• Extension of utilities and water main looping as necessary to serve the site.
• Turner road transition at the WID canal to the approval of the Public Works
Department (This construction may be deferred until construction of
improvements of the adjacent unit.).
All public improvements to be installed within one year of final map filing under the
terms of an improvement agreement to be approved by the City Council prior to final
map filing.
4. Design and installation of public improvements to be in accordance with City master
plans and include drainage and wastewater capacity for the area north of Turner
Road bounded by the WID Canal on the west and north and the northerly extension

of a line parallel to and 400 feet west of the existing east right-of-way line on Lower
Sacramento Road to the east.
Note that the developer may be eligible for reimbursement from others for the cost of
certain improvements. It is the developer's responsibility to request reimbursement
and submit the appropriate information per the Lodi Municipal Code §16.40.
5. Dedication of street right-of-way as shown on the tentative map with the following
changesladditions:
• As previously stated in our comments for the approved Development Plan for
this project, the right-of-way on Turner Road needs to be 94 feet in the vicinity
of Evergreen Drive. The 94 -foot wide section needs to extend from Evergreen
Drive to 300 feet east of Evergreen Drive. A 315 -foot taper reducing the right-
of-way from 94 feet to 80 feet needs to be provided east and west of the 94 -
foot wide section. The design of Tumer Road needs to be coordinated with the
future commercial development to the north.
• Right-of-way for a bus turnout on Turner Road east of Evergreen Drive, if
needed.
• Provide 68 -foot right-of-way on Evergreen Drive at the intersection with Turner
Road in conformance with the Street Master Plan. Begin taper at the north
property lines of Lots 266 and 267 to provide the 68 -foot width at the
intersection.
6. The Water Master Plan has identified a future well site near Evergreen Drive, south
of Turner Road. Based on preliminary discussions with the developer, Lot 363 will be
the well site if a test well is satisfactory. An agreement needs to be reached between
the owner and the City regarding the location and acquisition of the well site prior to
final map filing. Costs for the well site would be bome by the water development
impact mitigation fee fund or paid as a credit against those fees.
7. Dedication of public utility easements as required by the various utility companies
and the City of Lodi, including a water well hazard exclusion easement for the well
site mentioned in Item #6 and a 10 -foot landscape easement adjacent to the reverse
frontage fence mentioned in Item #3.
8. Submit final map per City and County requirements including the following:
Waiver of access rights at Turner Road except at street openings shown on
tentative map.

with City Design Standards, if necessary.
