Medina SUBJECT: SAN FERNANDO ROAD UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 Resolution No. 90-159 DEPARTMENT: Public Works BACKGROUND The widening of San Fernando Road between Magic Mountain Parkway and Lyons Avenue is scheduled to begin construction in 1991. It is appropriate that the existing overhead utilities in that area be relocated underground through the formation of an Underground Utility District. The City has established procedures for the creation of Underground Utility Districts in Chapter 13.32, Division 2 of the City's Municipal Code. The Code provides that after a public hearing, the City Council may determine that the project meets the established criteria for an Underground District, and adopt a resolution establishing the district. At its July 24, 1990 meeting, the City Council set a date for a public hearing and authorized staff to proceed with the procedures necessary for the formation of the proposed Underground Utility District. The attached Engineer's Report sets forth the limits of the district, enumerates the costs to the utilities and to the private property owners. It also discusses the time frames required for the completion of the undergrounding work. The report defines the precise boundaries for the district and provides for exemptions for specific utility crossings. In reviewing the extent of the proposed district with the affected utility companies, there are design issues regarding. the conversion to underground service for adjacent properties which will require further analysis. This analysis and the legal time limits for environmental review require that we reschedule the hearing on their district for September 25, 1990. Prior to the rescheduled hearing, we will send each property and business owner affected by the district a notice of the rescheduled hearing. We have sent a letter to each property owner informing them that the hearing is to be rescheduled. �Clapteth Continued To: Agenda Item: San Fernando Road Utility Undergrounding Page 2 The City Council adopt Resolution No. 90-143 and set September 25, 1990 as the date for the public hearing on the proposed district and direct staff to notify the property and business owners within the district.

It is appropriate that the existing overhead utilities in that area be relocated underground through the formation of an underground utility district. P.U.C. RULE 20-A The Public Utilities Commission's Rule No. 20-A provides a funding mechanism for the undergrounding of overhead utilities. ENABLING ORDINANCES The City has established procedures for the creation of underground utility districts in Chapter 13.32, Division 2 of the City's Municipal Code. The .Code provides that after a public hearing, the City Council may determine that the project meets the established criteria for an underground district, and adopt a resolution establishing the district. At its July 24, 1990 meeting, the City Council set a date for a public hearing and authorized staff to proceed with the procedures necessary for the formation of the proposed underground utility district. DISTRICT LIMITS The bounds of the district consist of that portion of land lying 80 feet easterly of and 100 feet westerly of the center lines of San Fernando Road and Bouquet Canyon Road as they existed on August 14, 1990, between a point 1300 feet north of the intersection of the center lines of San Fernando Road and Drayton Street to the intersection of the center lines of San Fernando Road and Lyons Avenue, with certain exceptions as noted in the attached legal description and shown on the district boundary maps. AFFECTED UTILITIES The utilities affected by the formation of this district include the Southern California Edison Company (SCE), the Pacific Telephone Company (PACTEL), King Video Cable (KVC), Western Union (WU) and private communications systems belonging to the County of Los Angeles (LACO). The following overhead utility facilities will be exempted from the undergrounding requirements of this district: 1. SCE, Saugus -Lockheed -Thatcher Glass (71381), and Saugus - Newhall No. 3 (71461), 16KV and 66KV crossings and SCE pole 7871336; 2. SCE, 16KV crossing of San Fernando Road at 15th Street; 3. SCE, 16KV crossings of San Fernando Road at 12th Street; All structures associated with these crossings, including span guys, down guys and related hardware shall also be exempted from the district. AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS The properties affected by the undergrounding district are all commercial or industrial developments. The district boundaries have been established to exclude adjoining residential properties, and to minimize the impact to the trailer court located at 24833 San Fernando Road. The list of affected property owners, and their lots as defined in the most recent Assessor's Books are attached to this report. It is anticipated that the cost to the property owners would be in the range of, $800 to $3000 depending upon the age of their existing electrical switch gear, and the presence of on-site private power poles. CONSTRUCTION COSTS The City receives a Rule 20-A allocation from the Southern California Edison Company of approximately $230,000 per year. Santa Clarita's current Rule 20-A fund balance is over $400,000. The proposed district would cost approximately $1,200,000, however, the Southern California Edison Company is willing to consider the advancement of the City's future year allocations to fund the project at this time. TIME OF COMPLETION The undergrounding of all overhead facilities belonging to utility companies shall be accomplished within 18 months from the date of Notice to Remove Overhead Facilities. Private utility connections shall be made to the underground facilities, and all overhead private facilities removed within 30 days from the date of Notice to Property Owners to connect to the new underground system, which will be issued by the City Engineer upon completion of the utility's underground facilities. The Engineer shall have the authority to issue Notice to Property Owners and the Notice to Remove Overhead Facilities for portions of the district as he sees fit and in the best interest of the City to facilitate the completion of the entire undergrounding project in a timely fashion.
