25 YEARS AGO: The Local Agency Formation Commission of San Joaquin County denied an appeal request from the city of Manteca over an Oct. 23, 1992 decision to give the city of Lathrop control over 600 acres of land at the west end of Yosemite Avenue. The battle over the disputed acreage had been going on for months and had led to hard feelings between officials in the two neighboring cities. The territory lay at the convergence of three important and heavily traveled routes in the Central Valley: Interstates 205 and 5 and Highway 120. By a 5-0 vote, the panel turned down Manteca's request to remove the territory from Lathrop's sphere of influence, a planning term for a city's ultimate growth area.
