EL CAMINO REAL UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 5 RESOLUTION NO. 81-23 - A Resolution ORDERING THE WORK DESCRIBED IN RESOLUTION NO. 81-14, AND DESCRIBED MORE PARTICULARLY AS THE REMOVAL OF POLES, OVERHEAD WIRES AND ASSOCIATED OVERHEAD STRUC- ~-~ TURSS IN THE AREA DESIGNATED THE "EL CAMINO REAL UNDERGROUND i UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER FIVE," TO BE DONE Mayor Saltarelli said that this was basically a protest hearing to see if anyone wants to protest the formation of the Under- ground Utility District which would underground all the utili- ties on E1 Camino Real. The public hearing was opened at 7:31 p.m. There being no com- ments or objections, the public hearing was closed. One written protest was received from Una A. Boosey, owner of 460 E1 Camino Real, Tustin, and it was read by the City Clerk. She asked for a reconsideration of the estimated service conver- sion cost for her property. The City Engineer explained the process for undergrounding each individual parcel. We are in the midst of preparing the bid documents and each parcel will be bid on a separate basis and a competitive bid cost will be established for each and every one of the 34 parcels. The prices that were initially estimated were a very preliminary cost and in the case of Ms. Boosey, it does not include or take into account the work that she had done on her property. Once the bids are received on these individual service conversions, staff will contact each parcel owner and go over the cost with them. In answer to Councilman Hoesterey's question, Mr. Ledendecker said that the owner would have the option to have the work done themselves. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Sharp, that there is an insufficiency of protests in that there is only one protest, which does not constitute 50% of the property owners. Carried 5-0. It was moved by Sharp, seconded by Edgar, to pass and adopt Resolution No. 81-23. Carried 5-0. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 3-2-81 2.

He stated that the house does not conform to the homes in the area and it was his opinion that it would decrease the value of the homes in the area. He asked the Council's cooperation in not allowing this home to be built. Mike Brotemarkle, Community Development Director, responded that this house meets the Zoning Code, the set backs and standards for R-1 property. There are no CC & R's, deed reviews, or design reviews on R-1 property. The City Attorney said the only way to control this would be through the Zoning Ordinance and under our ordinance, there is no design review required.
