Subject: Underground Utility District (Garfield St. South of
Chinquapin Ave. plus Olive St.)
R& Public Hearing of 6 September 1994
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
This letter is to express our gratitude and approval of the subject project. In our view of all the
current construction work going on for the Hubbs Sea World Fish Hatchery and other lagoon
programs h process we feel this will be a tkneIy undertaking.
We believe that the hatchery and other lagoon projects will have some negative impact to our
property values. There dl undoubtedly be increased tdc and noise pollution along Gzdeld
Street. We &el that undergrounding the existing power and other utility lines will greatly help to
offset any adverse impact fkom the overdl lagoon developments currently underway.
We see that the proposed district will place all overhead lines underground and remove all utility
poles at utility company expense. This shouId certainly be added incentive for the Mayor, the City
Council and all others concerned to proceed with the formation of this underground utility
district.
Again, we. heartily thank the Mayor and Council for placing this underground utility district on
top of the list. We are looking forward to a formal approval of this project and, hopefully, a
spedy commencement of construction &rw
President
