MTG. 8/6/91 SET PUBLIC HEARING CITY A DEPT. ENG:MP UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 13 CITY MG . -
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 91-2q7 setting a public hearing to receive
input and initiate proceedings to determine the formation of Underground Utility District No. 13 on Tamarack Avenue, from 1-5 to
Carlsbad Boulevard.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On December 18, 1990, the City Council selected an alignment alternative and directed the final design of improvements to
Tamarack Avenue between 1-5 and Carlsbad Boulevard. The reconstruction of Tamarack Avenue will also include the undergrounding of all overhead utilities.
Staff has met with representatives of the various utility companies and established the precise boundaries of the proposed district with consideration for the location of utility facilities, services
to existing buildings, and property boundaries.
It is proposed that the Council set a public hearing for August 27,
1991 regarding the formation of this district. Staff will forward information to all property owners explaining the district
formation procedures and requirements. Notwithstanding the considerable City contributions to the project, an underground utility district is required on Tamarack Avenue to provide the City with the ability to underground existing utilities and provide for
on-site connections of private utility services. Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution setting the public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost for utility undergrounding as an element of the Tamarack Avenue improvement project is $900,000. This is solely a
City expense and an element of the Tamarack Avenue project budget and not the obligation of surrounding property owners nor budgeted within the City's Public Utility Code 20B undergrounding funds through SDG&E.
Funds are available in Project Account No. 320-820-1840-3203 for costs associated with undergrounding all utilities in this project. In accordance with Public Utility Code 20B, property owners will be responsible for connectingtheir own on-site utility services at an approximate cost of $1,000 to $1,500 per service. Instituting the Underground Utility District process is required to enable the City's contractor to underground the overhead lines as an element of this project and require adjacent property owners to connect their own on-site services in accordance with the 20B procedures.

appropriation in the current CIP from Public Facilities Fee funds.
