ENG TITLE- -* APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH SDG&E FOR THE RELOCATION OF TRANSMISSION LINES WITHIN THE CANNON ROAD WEST RIGHT-OF-WAY PROJECT NO. 3184 RECOMMENDED ACTION: MGRa CITY Adopt Resolution No. ?? /JY approving an agreement with San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) for the relocation of transmission lines. ITEM EXPLANATION: Cannon Road West plans and specifications are complete. The project requires the relocation of two SDG&E transmission line facilities located within Reach 2 to vertically clear the proposed road improvements, To facilitate the grading of the road and the construction of the facility, staff is recommending that it is best to construct the new transmission facilities prior to the grading of the Cannon Road West Reach 2 right-of-way. Since SDG&E has prior rights over the easements, the City must pay for the relocation costs of the transmission line. The City has previously paid SDG&E $10,000 for the design of the relocation of the transmission facilities. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The Planning Director has determined that the requested action is consistent with prior CEQA review. The project was reviewed in the Cannon Road Reach 1 Environmental Impact Report, the Kelly Ranch Environmental Impact Report and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Reach 2. Significant environmental impacts identified by those CEQA documents were determined to be mitigable to levels of less than significant. Permits from the resource agencies have been received. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost for the relocation of the two-pole structure is $79,200. Of that total, $10,000 was previously paid for design. Sufficient funds are available in the project account. EXHIBITS: 1. 2. Location Map.
