SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR UNDERGROUNDING OF OVERHEAD UTILITIES - NISSON ROAD
(P.W. FILE NO. 2720)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the Tustin City Council add the project of utility
undergrounding, along Nisson Road between "B" Street and Pasadena
Avenue, as priority No. 9 to the previously approved prioritized
project list for the undergrounding of overhead utilities with the
utilization of Edison Company Rule 20A Funds.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has received a request from the Condominium Management
Company representing the Influential Square Homeowners Association
to have the overhead utilities on Nisson Road adjacent to
Influential Square added to the prioritized project list for
utility undergrounding. A copy of this request is attached for the
City Council information.
In March, 1991, the City Council approved a prioritized project
list of eight projects for the undergrounding of overhead utilities
with the utilization of Edison Company Rule 20A monies. These
projects are detailed as follows:
1. Prospect Avenue between First Street and Beneta Way
(1992)
2. Yorba Street between First Street and Irvine Boulevard
(1992)
3. First Street between the westerly City limits and
Pasadena Avenue (easterly of the SR -55 Freeway) (1992-93
to be coordinated with the Caltrans First Street bridge
reconstruction)
4. Red Hill Avenue between Copperfield Drive and the I-5
Freeway.
5. Red Hill Avenue between I-5 Freeway and Bryan Avenue
6. Bryan Avenue/Main Street between Red Hill Avenue and
Newport Avenue.
7. Main Street between "C" Street and the SR -55 Freeway
8. E1 Camino Real between Newport Avenue and Browning Avenue
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the request for utility undergrounding on Nisson
Road, adjacent to the Influential Square Development at 17212-17288
Nisson Road and concurs with the request. However, it is suggested
that the project be expanded to include all of Nisson Road between
"B" Street and Pasadena Avenue. Limiting the undergrounding
project to only the frontage of the Influential Square Development
would not allow it to be funded by Rule 20A monies because it would
not meet the requirement of a continuous project length of 600
lineal feet .
It is suggested that the undergrounding of overhead utilities along
Nisson Road between "B" Street and Pasadena Avenue be added to the
prioritized project list for undergrounding overhead utilities. with
the utilization of Edison Company Rule 20 monies as Project No. 9.

Dear Mr. Ledendecker:
6 lit -92 E
s
As Agent for and on behalf of Influential Square Homeowners
Association, the Board of Directors has requested that we write to you.
I.
The Board of Directors for Influential Square wishes to have the
Southern California Edison facilities on Nisson Road fronting
Influential Square added to the prioritized project list for
underground cable.
With the relocation of Nisson Road, these Edison poles and lines have
now been relocated within a few feet of the residences. Because it is
the front of the project, it will be unsightly. Therefore, the Board
would like the opportunity to discuss the project with the City Council
to have these lines moved underground.
Please call me at 714/978-1158 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
CONDOMINIUM MANAGEMENT COMPANY
Sue Cook, Property Manager
