RESOLUTION NO. 821
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN PROTESTING THE REQUIREMENT BY THE
POSTMASTER GENERAL OF RURAL-TYPE MAILBOXES
FOR CURB DELIVERY IN ALL NEW SUBDIVISIONS
WHEREAS, great care has been taken in the Master Planning of
the City of Tustin to create beautiful streets, free of unnecessary
obstructions, and
WHEREAS, additional expense has been incurred by homeowners,
developers, and the City in order to bring about innovations of
design for beautification of public property, and
WHEREAS, the new requirement by the Postmaster General ~or
rural-type mailboxes in,."all new subdivisions would cause installati¢
·
of unsightly, upright mailboxes at intervals of approximately
every 60' along residential streets, and
WHEREAS, after due study and consideration, the City COuncil
of the City of Tustin also finds as follows:
(1) Beautification efforts currently underway to eliminate
unsightly utility poles, signs, et al. will be
hampered by these unnecessary additions to the
"street. scene."
(2) Current trend toward contingency of sidewalk with curb
will cause conflict of mail boxes with parking of
vehicles, opening and closing of automobile doors,
etc.
(3) Placement of mail boxes adjacent to curbs wil1
obstruct pedestrian traffic using the sidewalks.
(4) Street delivery boxes will not afford adequate
security and protection for mall.
(5) The street rights-of-way are the property of the local
agencies; i.e. Cities, Counties, therefore, this
regulation is a direct infringement on the use of
said property by the owner-agencies.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Tustin that request is hereby made tO the Post Office Department,
senators and Congressmen of California, for appropriate action
to rescind the aforementioned Directives issued by. the Postmaster
