F. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS • Larry Mallory stated that he had been a homeowner in the Kristmont Acres area for 40 years. Recently residents of the area received notification from the City of its intent to install streetlights and sidewalks. He recalled that when Chris Keszler developed the area he had an agreement with the City that sidewalks and streetlights would not be required unless 51 % of the homeowners were in favor of it. Mr. Mallory reported that the residents were opposed to the idea and preferred that the area's rural setting remain intact. Mr. Mallory stated that he and other individuals in the neighborhood were asked to sign an agreement, as a condition to being issued building permits, stating that they would not petition or make public comments against the City installing streetlights and sidewalks, • Steven LaViola stated that he was asked to speak on behalf of the residents of Kristmont / Acres. He submitted copies of a petition signed by 76 residents who were opposed to streetlights and sidewalks being installed (filed). Jane Lea stated that she was concerned for public safety because underground gas tanks have not been removed from properties located on the northwest and of Almond Drive between the KB Homes and Kirst subdivisions. She warned that the gas tanks have the potential of leaking and contaminating the water, collapsing, exploding, and seeping fumes through the ground. She reported that the ground around the old barn was stained by chemicals, spills from maintenance, and equipment leaking. She believed that future children could be at risk playing in their backyards and could become ill due to toxins. Their symptoms would go undetected because no one would have suspected the soil being saturated with dumped hazardous waste. Surface fuel pumps were observed by citizens before their removal, and clean looking material was placed over the hazardous ground stains. She expressed concern that the environmental report was waived for this development at the last Planning Commission meeting. In addition, Ms. Lea voiced concern about traffic problems on Almond Drive. She reported that at the recent Planning Commission meeting, Community Development Director Bartlam stated that Almond Drive was a thoroughfare and in order to alleviate traffic congestion, more side streets needed to be exiting and entering onto Almond Drive. He admitted that no conclusive traffic reports had been done on Almond Drive. The Planning Commission asked if a stop sign could be installed to slow traffic, and Mr. Bartlam's reply, according to Ms. Lea, was that a stop sign would not reduce speed, it would only cause 4 September 6, 2003 City of Lodi Ekwtrio Utility Department Alan N.
