GE:" A `TITLE: Public Hearing to consider the appeal of G -REM regarding the Planning
Cornml ;sioWdenial of the request to amand Resolution 03-12 adding a condition CC
approval to the VinLIfer'S Square Shopping Center. located at the northwest corner of
Lower Sacramento road and Kettlea an Lane
MEET;nNG DATE: July 2,2003
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACw .T .IO : Reversc the Planning Commission action and approve the added
condition of approval to Resolution 03--12 for property located at the
northwest comer of Kettleman Lane and Lower Sacramento Road.
AC.KGRClstTND MORMATIOM The Plawiing Commission met on June 11, 2003 to consider the request
of G -REM to add a condition to the Resolution approving the Vintner's
Square Shopping Center and Final Environmental Impact Report. The
condition would read as follows:
17ia° project applicant shrill cause a perpetual agricultural con.sen cation, easement to he imposed over not
less than 22.39 ac=res of ccarrfrquou.s active ragrictiltural acreage elseivher-e within the Lodi A VA of San
Joaquin C°o an(y. These soils shali be perynanently I)rotec:ted frona,futuredeveloprnent via errforcerahle Gleed
restrictions. Acreage € etween Lodi and Stockton shall he targeted. Sails andfunning conditions shall he
equivalew or superior to the project area. Protected acreage shall he set-aside within orae (1) year Cf the
CorllrnenCenlent elf any construction ractiviry within the development.
`The applicant proposed this condition as a means to assuage concerns raised by the opposition group to the
commercialpr(iect. The hope, was to have, the Hanning Commission enact the condition on their previously
approved resolaanon p6or to the City Council consideration of the appeal filed by the same opposition group.
The Planning Commission denied the applicant's request. Its short, I believe the Commission felt uncomfortabie
with what they thought was a policy question better left with the City Council. Staff advised the Planning
Commission drat thein- action would be neither precedent nor poky setting. Nonetheless, they chose to not add the
condition.
Unfortuti ately, the opposition group, led by Ann Cerney. submitted a letter to the Planning Commission during the
public hearing requestitlg several amendments to the condition language. This opposition to the condition that the
group ofiginally wattled further complicated the issue. That letter is included on your attach meets. In response to
the lever's three points, staff would offcx the following thoughts:
1,) It is prQu)ature to specify an endowrrjent as a land trust, or other qualified holder of the easement has not been
designated. The applicant may find a benefactor that does not require any further funding. The condition, as
proposed, very clearly state.; the easement shall be in perpetuity and permanently protect that acreage from.

. It is also premature to identify the land trust by July 1 t , 2003 as the land identification may have some impact
to this condition. The tirac frame for implementing the proposed condition is clear, Further, this point assumes
the project is going forward by July 11, 2003, perhaps prior to any permit issuance.
3.) The proposed condition was based on language submitted by W. Cemey to the Planning Commission. Thai
language was obviously acceptable on May 14€€' but is today inadequate, Specific to this point, the project site
is not Pear the southern border of Lodi. Its fact. it is nearly one mile from blarney Lane., the City's current
southern border. The opponent has previously argued for the condition on the basis of the loss of Prime
Farmland, It appears that the real motive i s to create a separation between the cities of Lodi and Stockton.
Finally, I would note that the proposed condition does suggest that land between Lodi and Stockton he targeted.
The condition is € of meant to create a separator, but rather to offset the development of Prime Farmland. This must
he thought of as rwo different, but related i isues. As I mentioned in the staff report to the Planning Commission,
the applicant has shown a good faith effort to resolve the conflict with Ms. Cemey and her group

Dear Ms. lacstona
This letter, with the $250. fee attached, shall serve notice of our appeal. of the Planning
Commission's decision to deny our request for ars amended condition of approval during
list night's, (June 11, ` 003), Planning Ca naussion meeting. To prevent ftu°th r delays in

Please call me should you require any additional information.

(1)MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Community Development Department
Tw Planning Commission
From: Community Development Director
Date- June 11, 2003
Subject: 'The request of G -REM and Sim Manion, on behalf of Lowe's, to add a condition of
approval to Planning Commission Resolution No. 03-12 for property located at the
northwest corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane (Vintner's
____ care Shopping Center).
summarv:
Fhe Planning Commission certified the Proal Environmental Impact Report for the Vintner's
Square Shopping Center on May 14, 2003. At that meeting, the only opposition came from Ms.
Ann Cerney and her attorney representing "Citizens for Open Government". At the meeting, Ms.
Meserve, representing Ms. Cerney, submitted the attached letter requesting that the City include a
mitigation measure that would require the applicant to reduce the significant effect of the loss of
prime farmland. The opponents have submitted an appeal of the Planning Commission action for
City Council consideration.
Discussion:
;he applicant, G -REM, has been working with "Citizens for Open Government" to try to settle
their issues. Although, to our knowledge, the parties have not reached an agreement, the
applicant is nonetheless now requesting that the City add a condition of approval to the project
resolution that will call for the conservation of prime farmland. G -REM believes that this
condition will satisfy Ms. Cemey's stated desire for the conservation of prime farmland on a 1:
ratio.
Based on the applicant's desire to add the condition, staff does not have any problem with the
request. In fact, Mr_ Gillespie is suggesting Ianguage that would be similar to that submitted by
Ms. Cerney's counsel in her May 14r' letter. Therefore, staff would recommend the following
uendition be added to Resolution 03-12, as follows:
The project applicant shall cause a perpetual agricultural conservation easement to be
imposed over not less than 22.39 acres of contiguous active agricultural acreage elsewhere
within the Lodi AVA of San Joaquin County. These soils shall be permanently protected
from future development via enforceable deed restrictions. Acreage between Lodi and
Stockton shall be targeted. Soils and farming conditions shall be equivalent or superior to the
project. area. Protected acreage shall be set-aside within one (1) year of the commencement
of any construction activity within the development.
Staff believes that the applicant has shown a good faith effort to not only resolve their
opposition's issue, but also should be congratulated for stepping forward and initiating the
condit. on with the Planning Commission.

RF,: Vintner's Square Shopping Center-EiR Comments by Ann Cerney et al
This letter concerns the letter received by the Planning Commission during their May 14,
2003 meeting, at which the EIR for the Vintner's Square shopping center was certified
and the Use Permit application approved.
The letter, presented by an attorney representing Ann Cerney and a group called `Citizens
for Open Government', raised concerns primarily regarding the loss of prime farmland
impacts, The letter goes on to suggest that mitigation of these impacts is feasible,
referring to the cities of Woodland and Davis and their respective ordinances that require
mitigation of prime farmland. We have been in contact with Ms, Cerney's legal counsel
in an effort to satisfy her concerns, and it is apparent that this proposed mitigation is one
of their primary goals. It is unfortunate that we were not made aware of this goal in
sufficient advance of the May 14`x' Planning Commission meeting, as we would have
supported such a condition. To this end, I would like to request that the Planning
Commission consider, at the earliest possible date, and amendment to the conditions of
approval, incorporating 1:1 mitigation of the Vintner's Square project's 22.39 acres, in
the form of either fee title or conservation easements/restrictions consisting of active
farmland. I would like an opportunity to review the proposed condition language so I can
review it with our legal counsel in advance of the meeting. The language contained in
the Woodland ordinance supplied by Ms. Cerney's counsel is generally agreeable to us.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this request. I am hopeful that
this amendment can be heard at the dune l 1`h Planning Commission meeting.
Sincerely,

Re: Final Environmental impact Report for Vintner's Square Shopping Center
Dear Con-unissIoners:
This firnz represents Ann Ivl. Conley and Citizens for Ogen Goverrunent and
provided comments on the Draft EIR for the Vintner's Square Shopping Center on April
17, 2003, Despite the changes made: to the Final EIR and the decision of the City to
ocoz=n mend approval of Alternative 2, the environmental review for the project does not
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §21000 et
seq. (` CEQA"}). The project description, significant impact analysis, growthinducing
mpac+ discussion, cnnn�alative impact analysis, mitigation measures, and responses to
comments, among other sections of the EIR, are inadequate,
The City's conclusion that there is no mitigation to reduce the Loss of Prime
1 anUland impact to less than significant is especially suspect. The lead agency cannot
avoid the duty to devise appropriate ;mitigation for an impact simply by concluding that
he impar.+ is significant and unavoidable. (Berkeley Deep ,rets Over the Bay C:onznaittee
v. Board of port Commissioners (2001) 91 Cal.AppAth 1.344, 1354-1355.) Even if the
mpacts cannot be reduced to a level of insignificance, where potentially significant
Impacts are identified, all feasible mitigation measures must be adopted, such as offsite
preservation of agricultural lands. (See CEQA Guidelines, § 15126.4.) I have attached
copies of the City of Davis Ordinance requiring 2:1 mitigation for agricultural land
conversion and an example mitigation measure from another commercial project in
Woodland requiring 1:1 mitigation for farmland loss. These examples show that such
.nxib-Zation is feasible. The City's response to the suggested mitigation (located in
co,aiment 4-14 of the HEIR) is therefore inadequate as it does not explain why the
�Itigal o n suggested is not feasible. (See Los An tiles Unified School District v. City of
Los irgeies (1997) 54 Cal App.4th 1019, 1029 ("an adequate EIR must respond to
sPecific suggestions for mitigating a significant environmental impact unless the
City of Lodi.
Planning Commission
stay 1A20(13
Page'?
suggested mitigation is fiiciatly infeasible").) Moreover, the fact that the General Plan
contemplated development of the project area does not excuse the City from considering
feasible mitigation io reduce this projecI's significant effects. (See Commu.nities,for a
Better Ini4roninen, v. California Recourses Agency (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 98, 1.23
(overturning CEQA Guidelines, §15152, subd. (f)(3)(C).)
GVe therefore request. that the Planning Commission not certify the EIR and not
2aant Me pa°Qect approvals requested by the project applicant until an adequate EIR is
prepared.

Chapter 40A RIGHT TO FARM AND FARMLAND PRESERVATION
40A.03,030 Agricultural land mitigation requirements.
(a) Beginning on November 1, 1995, the city shall require agricultural mitigation by applicants for zoning changes or
any other discretionary entitlement which will change the use of agricultural land to any nonagricultural zone or use.
(bj Agricuturat ;mitigation shall be satisfied by:
(1) Granting a farmland conservation easement, a farmland deed restriction or other farmland conservation mechanism
to or for the benefit of the city and/or a qualifying entity approved by the city. Mitigation shall only be required for that
portion of the tand which no longer will be designated agricultural land, including any portion of the land used for park
and recreation purposes. One time as many acres of agricultural land shalt be protected as was changed to a
nonagricultural use in order to mitigate the toss of agricultural land; or
(2) In lieu of conserving land as provided above, agricultural mitigation may be satisfied by the payment of a fee based
upon a one to one replacement for a farmland conservation easement, or farmland deed restriction established by the city
councit by resolution or through an enforceable agreement with the developer, The in lieu fee option must be approved
by the city councit, -rhe fee shalt be equal to or greater than the value of a previous farmland conservation transaction in
the planning area plus the estimated cost of legal, appraisal and other costs, including staff time, to acquire property for
agricultural ;mitigation. The in lieu fee, paid to the city, shall be used for farmland mitigation purposes, with priority
given to Lands with prime agricultural soils and habitat value.
� `c
-t The land inctuded within the one hundred feet agricultural buffer required by section 40A,01.050(c) shalt not be
included in the calculation for the purposes of determining the amount of land that is required for mitigation.
(d) n is the intent of this program to work in a coordinated fashion with the habitat conservation objectives of the Yoto
County habil 'at management program, and, therefore, farmland conservation easement areas may overlap partially or
completely with habitat easement areas approved by the State Department of Fish and Game and/or the Yolo County
habitat management program. Up to twenty percent of the farmland conservation easement area may be enhanced for
wildlife habitat purposes as per the requirements of the State Department of Fish and Game and/or Yolo County habitat
management program; appropriate ntaintenarice, processing or other fees may be required by the habitat program in
additic- to the requirennents set forth herein. (Ord. No. 1823) § 1 (part),]

WHEREAS, the project identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report,

elements of the General Plan. Specifically, that the project is consistent with the
following General Plan Goals and Policies:
A. Land Use and Growth Management Element, Goat E, "To provide
adequate land and support for the development of commercial uses
providing goods and services to Lodi residents and Lodi's market share"
in that the project will result in an establishment that will meet a consumer
demand that is not currently being met locally.
13_ Land Use and Growth Management Element, Goal E, Policy 7, "In
approving new commercial projects, the City shall seek to ensure that such
projects reflect the City's concern for achieving and maintaining high
quality" in that the center go under design review by the Site Plan and
Architectural Review Committee..
C. Housing Element, Goal C, "To ensure the provision of adequate services
to support existing and future residential development' in that by
providing commercial shopping opportunities, the project will help ensure
03-1 iAm 2
that adequate services a available to support existing and future residential
development.
D. Circulation Element, Goal G, "To encourage a reduction in regional
vehicle miles traveled" in that by providing an unmet consumer demand
within the community, the construction of a shopping center with a major
home improvement center will ensure a reduction in regional vehicle miles
traveled.
E. Circulation Element, Goal A, Policy 1, "The City shall strive to maintain
Level of Service C on local streets and at intersections. The acceptable
level of service goal will be Consistent with the financial resources
available and the limits of technical feasibility" in that the project will
make improvements to the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and
Kettleman L.ane/I-Lighway 12 and will provide a signal at the planned Road
"A" and Kettleman Lane/Highway 12. While the resulting improvements
will reduce the level of service provided to LOS "D", obtaining a LOS
"C" is not within the financial resources available and is contrary to
providing an inviting and comfortable pedestrian environment.
F. Noise Element, Goal A, "To ensure that City residents are protected from
excessive noise' in that the commercial shopping center will act as a
buffer between future residential development to the north from the noise
generated at the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman
Lanc. Additionally, the amendment to the General Pian removing
residentially designated land from the future Road "A" and it's expected
noise contour is consistent with this goal.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
The request of Duane Heinz for a Variance(s) to permit a substandard (one -ear)
garage as well as reduced front, side, and rear yard setbacks to allow construction
of a 1,127 square -foot single family home, located at 325 East Lodi Avenue.
Associate Planner Veerkamp presented the matter to the Commission. The subject
property was a smaller lot less than 1000 square feet in size. The new home would be
1,127 square feet with a loft on the property. Being that the lot was so small, the
applicant was asking for the allowance of a one -car garage, a reduced front yard
setback from 20 feet to 10 feet, a rear yard and side yard zero lot line arrangement.
The north and east side of the home would be built right on the alley. The hardship
demonstrated for the Variance request was the extremely small size of the lot. Staff
was recommending approval of the request.
Cotnmissiner Crabtree was concerned about the home being built so close to an alley
on a busy street. Mr. Veerkamp replied that he had checked with the Public Works
Department and they did not express any concerns.
Commissioner White inquired about off street parking in the area. Mr. Veerkamp
replied the area residents' park their cars on Lodi Avenue and were not to park in the
alley, although he had observed cars parked in the alley previously.
Hearing Opened to the Public
Duane Heinz, Applicant. Mr. Heinz bought the property for personal reasons. His son
will be occupying the home for now and it will be sold at a later date. The lot
originally was 5 -feet wider: but that 5 -feet was dedicated to the City for expansion of
the alley. He noted that many surrounding homes didn't even have a garage so most of

The request of I Jeffrey Kirst for a Tentative Parcel Map creating two new
parcels from one parcel, located at 1443 East Harney Lane. Conunissioner White
left the chamber due to a Conflict of Interest. City Planner Hightower presented the
item to the Commission. The request was a simple lot split. The parcel was 1.23 acres
with an existing home. The lot split will be frorn 1 lot to 2 lots with a northern parcel
that wul be a flag lot. After the split, the lots would meet the requirements of the R-2
Zoning District. Staff was recommending approval of the project.
Commissioner Crabtree asked if the widening of Harney Lane would affect the lot?
City Planner replied that it would develop with the subdivision immediately west of the
site. It was anticipated than when the frontage improvements to Harney Lane go in
,vest of the subject property, those improvements will continue to the new parcel that
fronts Harney Lane.
Mr. Hightower noted that any improvements to the back parcel would trigger frontage
improvements to the front parcel. He also noted a revision to condition d. Lf on the
resolution which read '°instead of under grounding existing overhead utilities, the
applicant shall relocate the utility to the satisfaction of the City Engineer."
Hearing Opened to the Public
Jeffrey Kli st, 222 W, L,ockeford Street, Mr. Kirst was the applicant. He urged he
(-,O"'mission to approve his project, fie explained the situation regarding the under
grounding of existing overhead utilities. There was an existing PG&E power pole in
front of the lot that fronts Harney Zane and once the City installs a planned high-
voltage transmission line, those existing power lines will be transferred to the new City
of Lodi joint pole. He was concerned about items 3 (b) and 6 (a) which concerned the
transitions and acquiring easements from adjacent property owners who might be
willing to do so. According to the Subdivision Map Act, the City would have to collie
in and condemn those easements if he was not able to complete the transition. He
would be coming [crack to subdivide the northern parcel with the adjacent Lucky

Hearing Closed to the Public
The Planning Commission on motion of Commissioner Crabtree, Haugan second,
approved the request of J. Jeffrey Kirst for a Tentative Parcel Map creating two new

The request of G -REM and Tim Manion, on behalf of Lowe's, to acid a condition
of approval to Planning Commission Resolution leo. 03-12 for property located at
the northwest corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman bane (Vintner's
Square Shopping Center). Commissioners Crabtree and Phillips left the chamber due
to Conflicts of Interest, Community Development Director Bartlam presented the
matter to the Commission. The item was being revisited with an added condition to the
Resolution that was approved on May 14, 2003, which was the meeting where final
certification of the FEIR, and approval of two Use Permits, and a parcel map for the
Vintner's Square Shopping Center, At that meeting a letter was delivered to the
Commissioners that requested, among other things, a mitigation measure be added to
the EiR concerning prime farmland. City staff took opposition to that mitigation
measure and it was not added in the final action of the Commission. Since then, the
applicant has been in discussion with FIs. Cerney's Counsel, a condition of that nature
and has come to the conclusion that they would not have a problem with a condition
being added to the approval. The added condition would read "The project applicant
shall cause a perpetual agricultural conservation easement to be imposed over not
less than 22.39 acres of contiguous active agricultural acreage elsewhere within
the Lodi AVA San Joaquin County. These soils shall be permanently protected
from future development via enforceable deed restrictions. Acreage between Lodi
and Stockton shall b e targeted. Soils and farthing conditions shall be equivalent
or superior to the project area. Protected acreage shall be set aside within one (1)
year of the commencement of any construction activity within the development.,,
Commissioner Aguirre asked if this requirement would preclude another developer
from coming in without this mitigation. Mr. Bartlam replied the condition would only
be in erect on this property. Is there was a subsequent development, that would be a
whole other issue.
Connnaissioner Haugan had several concerns. The project would be good for the City;
however: if the condition is added to the project, would user a precedence for future
projects? Mr. Bartlam replied there was a difference, since the applicant was
Pianr„rtg"minutPsl2oo3./6-1 t
projects`? Mr. Bartlarn replied there was a difference, since the applicant was
requesting that the condition be added to resolution. His perspective was stili the same
in terms that the EIR still stood as certified by the Commission and the added condition
did not change the certification. He noted that no City policy was being enacted.
Commismoner Haugan asked if the Planning Commission even needed to handle this
issue. He questioned why the applicant and Citizens for Open Government could not
handle this between themselves'? Mr. Barham replied that they could not come to
terms with one another. The Planning Commission did not have to be involved, but the
applicant was requesting the condition be added since an independent agreement was
not moving forward. The applicant was hoping the added condition would satisfy the
opposition's concern for some preservation of farmland elsewhere. The City doesn't
have any enforcement capability if there was to be an independent agreement.
Chairman Heintz asked if adding the condition would really please Citizens for Open
Government? He pointed out a letter received from Citizens for Open Government just
minutes prior to the meeting that listed additional modified language they wished to
include on the project. Mr. Bartlarn replied that he also just received the letter and it
appeared that the farmland condition did not satisfy Ms. Cerney's concern.
Commissioner White asked Mr. Bartlam to explain what a perpetual agricultural
conservation easement was. Mr. Bartlarn explained that it is an easement that is
recorded an, easement in perpetuity that would run with the property and the owner
would never have the ability to remove it.
Hearing Opened to tate Public
David I evy, Attorney for G -REM. Mr. Levy emphasized the applicant requested the
additional condition on their own and not as a mitigation measure. He thanked staff for
their time.
Commissioner Haugan commended G -REM in their generosity for adding the
condition, but still felt strongly about setting precedence for future projects.
Ann Cerney, 900 W. Vine Street, Ms. Cerney represented herself and as the
Spokeswoman for Citizens for Open Government. She appreciated the willingness of
the City and developer to address the issue of retaining prime agricultural land. She
went over additional points made in the letter delivered to the Commission that night.
First, to make sure there is an endowment for transition costs, management, and
monitoring to be paid by applicant. Second, that the applicant identifies the qualified
land trust easement to the City by July 11, 2003. She has never opposed the project, it
has been about reaching some sort of accommodation on the issue of retention of
agricultural land to tie it in with the greenbelt separator between Stockton and Lodi.
Commissioner Aguirre asked if there were any other properties that COG would be
interested in? Ms. Cerney replied that they, her group of citizens, were concerned
about all properties that would be developed_ She wanted all development going
forward in the community to also purchase land to replace what was taken for
development. The city Council had even expressed their desire to retain prime
Pla�ningfbSenutesl2fl63f6-! S 4
farmland.
Commissioner Aguiree asked if COG had any property in mind that would be available
between Lodi and Stockton? Ms. Cerney did not have any specific properties in mind.
COG members will help with finding land to be purchased for farthing easement rights.
The land would already be planted and the farmer could only farm it forever. The
farmland cannot be used for anything else but farmland.
Chairman %leinitz asked Ms. Cerney if she was trying to set precedence for future
projects as well as a solution to the greenbelt between Lodi and Stockton. Ms. Cerney
replied that she never used the word precedence, she said she was hoping it would
become a concept that would be popular and used. She felt that the citizens of Lodi
would look at the condition tonight and think it was a good idea.
Commission Haugan pointed out that the Westside Master pian has 341 acres
contained within it. Would she be back requesting the same thing as what they were
requesting tonight? He questioned the motives of her organization. He wanted to
know where was everyone when the General Plan was approved in 1441? Ms. Cerney
was only present to speak about the project being considered tonight, not other
projects. She stated it's not over until the final action is taken by the entity that has the
charge under the CEQA.
Stan Ellsworth, 3071 Rutledge Drive, Lodi. Mr. Ellsworth noted the project would add
needed tax dollars to City and create urban sprawl. He felt that since the applicant
added the condition of purchasing prime farmland—what was the problem? He did not
want to see Lodi and Stockton to become a massive urban sprawl. Setting aside a
parcel of land to prevent this from happening is the right thing to do.
Randy Snider, 2.328 Brittany Lane, Lodi. Mr. Snider is a partner in the property
located at the southwest corner property on Lower Sacramento and Kettleman Lane.
fle appreciated and understood what the applicant was offering, and what Ms. Cerney
was trying to do. fie stood before both Stockton City Council and the Stockton
Planning Commission begging them to come to the table to discuss the greenbelt. He
felt that setting a policy like the one tonight needed to go through the proper channels,
Property owners do not like to be told what they can and cannot do with their property.
This would not be a simple task and it would set precedence.
Jeffrey First, 222 W. Lockeford Street, Lodi. Mr. Kirst agreed with Mr. Snider. He
felt it was policy and precedent setting and not good government. He has attended
ninny meetings regarding the greenbelt and never saw a COG member there. The
farriers were totally opposed to the idea.
Jean May, 51-4 Connie Street, Lodi. Ms. May has lived in Lodi since 1448. She was
concerned about a greenbelt between Stockton and Lodi for a long time. Stockton was
not interested at in creating a greenbelt at this time.
Hearing Closed to the Public
Chairman Heinitz appreciated how generous G -REM had been throughout the project.
He felt it was precedent setting and asked if this was going to happen every time a
protect developed. He was absolutely against this condition and the City Council
should make the final decision.

3. Since the proposed project is near the southern border of Lodi and development
pressure between Stockton and Lodi is growing, the mitigation land must bo
located in the area between the two cities. The courent language in the condition
does riot require titis. The language should require the following:
The replacement land must be located within the area bounded by
Interstate 5 and Highway 99 on the west and cast, respectivety, and
Armstrong Road and Eight Mile Road on the north and south,
respectively. To the extent that Armstrong Road does not complete,
this boundwy, the boundary shall be completed by an imaginary
