No. 87 - 2 7 -- - P has e I I 0 f Recreational Vehicle Park on 9th Street MEMORANDU~.) ROGER HARDGRAVE, Dir. of From Pub Ii c Works/C ity Engr. Due September 3, 1987 File No. 6.50 Approved Date Justification for this appeal was provided by letter of 8-25-87, from Roy F. Kroll & Associates, Inc. Conditional Use Permit No. 87-27 was approved at the Planning Commission Meeting of 6-02-87. One of the conditions of approval was: "10. All utility lines shall be installed underground subject to exceptions approved by the Planning Department and City Engineer." I have reviewed the site and found no unusual physical features that would render undergrounding the utility lines, along the north side of 9th Street, unfeasible. The voltage of the electri- cal line is within the limits that are routinely undergrounded. Since I find no reasons to support an exception of the condition .for undergrounding utilities, it is my recommendation that the appeal be denied. A meeting was held on 8-26-87 with a representative of Edison and the two developers (Recreational Park and Assured Mini Storage), Edison agreed to bear the cost of undergrounding utilities in front of the existing phase of the R.V. park and the parcel at ' the northwest corner of 9th Street and Tippecanoe Avenue. This will result in all the utilities along the north side of 9th Street being undergrounded, from the flood control channel easterly to Tippecanoe Avenue, and along the west side of Tippecanoe Avenue, from 9th Street to the flood control channel. A copy of the letter from Edison is attached for your reference. ZJfi" ROGER G. HARDGRAVE Director of Public any further information.

CALIFORNIA 82378 August 27, 1987 Subject: Underground Ordinance Dear Mr. Wear: This letter is to summarize our discussion of 08/26/87. regarding the underground ordinance per the City of San Bernardino. Those in attendance were: Jon Roberts - City of San Bernardino Henry Wingson - City of San Bernardino Ed Leonelli - San Bernardino R.V. Park Charles Wear - The Assured Group Ben Murguia - Southern California Edison As discussed, Edison estimates that the cost to convert the existing power lines from overhead to underground, at both project locations, will be approximately $75.00 per linear foot of existing line. Additional conduits, excavation and backfill required to make the undergrounding continuous will be reimbursed to the developer by Edison. Please keep me apprised of any further developments regarding this matter, and thank you for your cooperation and assistance. ~nn~~~r A. J. Gonzales Customer Service Planner IjB J. Roberts / E.

HAND DELIVERED Re: C.U.P. No. 67-27 Appeal of Condition No. 10 Dear Mayor and Council: On June 2. 1987 the pla~nina Commission nf the City of San Bernardino Approved we Condit,onal Use i'ern1ll. Tor tll\! pnase r~/.O. \i:i development of the Recreational Vehicle Park on 9th Street west of Tippecanoe. We wish to appeal Standard Condition No 10 of the C.U.P. due to the extremely high undergrounding costs of the 12KV lines along 9th Street. Standard Condition No. 10 states "All Utility Lines shall be installed underground subject to exceptions approved by the Planning Department and the City Engineer". When phase One (1) of this development was constructed it was given an excepti( by the Mayor and Council due to the extremely high underground costs. The Phase two C. U. P. No. 67-27 also has this condition, but when the planning analysis was performed and amendments recommended by the Planning Department the total project was analyzed it took both phases into consideration. If this condition is not exempted the Phase One will have overhead Electric lines and the Phase Two development will be required to have underground lines, which mean the development costs would put the financial well-being of the project into jeopardy. Additionally, the use of the property is transitional in nature with the underlying Commercial-Manufacturing Zone to be realized in the future. It should be noted that the R V Park was the first development to be implemented in this area of the City along 9th street and was the initial pioneering project. For these reasons, we respectfully request the Mayor and Common Council grant an exception from Standard Condition No. 10 and allow the existing utility lines to remain overhead for Phase Two as has been previouly granted for Phase One. Your Consideration in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions please feel free to call. ~~ ~ROY F.~LL Inc. /1' Roy F Kroll, President A. . A., A. 1. C. P.
