ITEM EXPLANATION: Council on April 17, 1990, adopted Resolution No. 90-110 expressing intent to determine whether to form an underground utility district and setting a public hearing for May 22, 1990. All affected property owners within the proposed district boundaries were notified of the public hearing at least fifteen (15) days in advance by mail. The boundaries of the proposed district include portions of Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon Road and all of Shore Drive and Tierra del Oro Street, as shown on Exhibit 1. The City Council on September 6, 1988, adopted a program of priority utility undergrounding projects as shown in Exhibit 2, attached. The first priority is Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon Road within the Terramar subdivision, including Shore Drive and Tierra del Oro Street. Staff has met in the field with representatives of the utility companies and establishedthe exact boundaries ofthe district with due consideration for the location of utility facilities, services to existing buildings and property boundaries. The Underground Utility Advisory Committee met on January 31, 1990, and recommends approval of the boundaries of District No. 11. After affected property owners have had an opportunity to speak, Council may determine that the public health, safety and welfare require the removal of overhead lines and the installation of underground utilities and adopt the attached resolution. If the district is formed, San Diego Gas and Electric Company and Pacific Bell will prepare plans, obtain permits and right-of-way (if needed) and start construction. It is estimated that the design work will take four (4) to five (5) months to complete. The dates when properties must be disconnected from the overhead lines and when the lines will be removed will be established by the City Council when a definite construction schedule has been established. A flow chart of the undergrounding procedure is attached as Exhibit 3. An informal meeting was held on Friday, May 11, 1990, from 3:OO p.m. to 7:OO p.m. in the Council Chambers and all property owners were invited. The purpose of the meeting was to answer questions and explain the district process. 0 0 Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. /o/b3E; FISCAL IMPACT: The preliminary cost estimate for electrical undergrounding of District No. 11 is $278,000. These funds are available and will be paid for by San Diego Gas and Electric Company as provided under Rule 20A of the Public Utility Commission. Other utility companies (Pacific Bell and Daniels Cablevision) will underground their facilities concurrently at their own expense. Each property owner will be responsible for undergrounding their own service at an approximate cost of $1,000 to $1,500 per service. In addition to the undergrounding costs, existing utility pole- mounted streetlights will be replaced with City standard streetlights. These costs will be borne by the City and amount to $85,000 for District No. 11. The streetlight replacement is necessary, if streetlights are to remain, because the undergrounding project will remove all the utility poles. Funding for these streetlights is proposed in the 1990-91 fiscal year Capital Improvement Program. Installing City streetlights will save the City an estimated $1,200 per year in maintenance costs because maintenance will be done by City crews, not SDG&E. EXHIBITS : 1.
