Description) Finance: Counc,l Notes: i I I Ananrl!ll If-am Nn ~ q - CI-k OF SAN BERNk..~DI~ - REQUMF~ COUNCIL AC'hbN STAFF REPORT A new office building is being developed on the northwest corner of Lena Road and Tennis Court Lane. There is an Edison pole line along Lena Road. Since the parcel is in excess of 1 acre, the requirement to underground this utility line, as set forth in Resolution 88-65, will apply. Section l, B, (2), states that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer may accept a cash payment from the developer, in lieu of immediate undergrounding, for any development with a frontage less than 300 feet. This parcel's frontage along Lena Road is less than 300 feet. Edison has provided an estimate of about $25,000 for this undergrounding. There is only one utility pole adjacent to this parcel that would be removed by undergrounding. Other options are set forth in Sub-Sections (3) and (4). Sub-Section (3) provides that any developer may elect to enter into an agreement to defer the undergrounding by making semi- annual payments over five years. Another option outlined in Sub-Section (4) is for the developer to petition the City to establish an assessment district. The developer has selected this option by submitting a letter of petition, dated 2-2-89. A copy of this letter is attached for reference. Establishment of an assessment district would allow the City to initiate the undergrounding at any time. Thedistrict would assess the property onwer of the actual costs incurred. Since it would not be feasible to sell bonds for a district of this size, the City would have to up-front the funds from the Assessment District Reserve Fund. The available options are: 1. Require the developer to underground. 2. Accept a cash deposit of estimated cost. 3. Enter into an Agreement. 4. Establish an assessment district. We recommend that the assessment district option be approved, since there is no limit on the cost which makes this process inflation proof. The undergrounding could be done at ,) ny time the City chooses, but normally would be deferred until a sufficient number of parcels were included to make a reasonable size distri~t. J122/89 Comment: There is sufficient activity and cash flow to proceed with this district. Otherwise, the development may not be able to proceed and the City could miss the opportunity to underground ,."
