HomeMy WebLinkAbout15 - Underground Utilities Districts 16, 17 & 18September 26, 2000 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 15 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: PROPOSED UNDERGROUND UTILITIES DISTRICTS: NO. 16 (BAYSIDE DRIVE AND EL PASEO DRIVE) NO. 17 (SUPERIOR AVENUE) NO. 18 (SAN JOAQUIN HILLS ROAD) RECOMMENDATIONS: Open the public hearing for Underground Districts 16, 17, and 18, receive testimony, and close public hearing. 2. Thereafter, take any combination of the following actions: A. Adopt Resolution No. establishing Underground Utility District No. 16 B. Adopt Resolution No. establishing Underground Utility District No. 17 C. Adopt Resolution No. establishing Underground Utility District No. 18 or D. Abandon all or a portion of the district proceedings. DISCUSSION: The Edison Company funds a certain number of projects along arterial highways to underground existing overhead utility main lines pursuant to a Public Utilities Commission established program known as, 'The Rule in Case 8209." This program is also known as "Rule 20A" projects. The Edison Company funding can also be used to underground the portion of the existing service connections located within 100 feet of the street right -of- way and within utility easements. The remaining portion of the cost of converting service connections on private property must be borne by the property owners. It has been the goal of the City of Newport Beach to underground all overhead facilities along major arterials and coastal view areas. The undergrounding of utilities in the following Underground Utility Districts (maps showing boundaries for each district are attached) will enhance the views along these coastal routes: Subject: Proposed Underground Utilities Districts No. 16 (Bayside Drive and El Paseo Drive), No. 17 (Superior Avenue) and No. 18 (San Joaquin Hills Road) September 26, 2000 Page 2 No. 16 ( Bayside Drive from Jamboree Road to El Paseo Drive, and El Paseo Drive from Bayside Drive, to Seadrift Drive) No. 17 (Superior Avenue from Placentia Avenue to south of Ticonderoga Street) No. 18 (San Joaquin Hills Road from Spyglass Hills Road to El Capitan Drive) The overhead utilities being put underground are primarily Edison transmission lines with very few service connections. There are two service connections in District No. 16, one service connection in District No. 17, and no service connections in District No. 18. Staff recommends Rule 20A funds be used for undergrounding the service connections located within 100 feet of the public right -of -way and within utility easements to reduce property owner's costs for undergrounding their services. (As permitted in the Rule 20A program). On August 8, 2000, the City Council set a public hearing for September 26, 2000, to consider the formation of Underground Utility District Nos. 16, 17 & 18 under the current Rule 20A Undergrounding Program. Underground Utility District Nos. 16, 17 & 18 are not assessment districts and do not follow the same procedures required of assessment districts. The City is not required to obtain a majority approval of the affected property owners to form an undergrounding district of this type. In order to notify property owners of the proceedings, a letter was sent to all affected property owners. The City has received no protest letters as of September 13, 2000. A large exhibit will be on display in the Council Chambers showing the boundaries of the proposed district and the poles and overhead lines to be removed.

Hdffstadt Development Engineer Attachments: Copy of August 8, 2000, Staff Report Resolutions Utility District Boundary Maps August 8, 2000 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Item No. 11 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR PROPOSED RULE 20A UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICTS NOS. 16, 17, and 18. RECOMMENDATION: Schedule public hearings for 7:00 p.m. on September 26, 2000, to determine whether or not Underground Utilities Districts 16, 17 and 18 should be formed. A separate hearing is required for each District. DISCUSSION: In the late 1960's the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) enacted a rule known as the "Rule in Case 8209" (Rule 20A), providing that the regulated electrical utilities establish a defined program to underground existing overhead utility lines. The telephone companies participate by undergrounding their facilities in cooperation with electrical utility projects. The program is paid for with utility company funds, allocated in accordance with a PUC specified formula. This program is completely separate from the assessment district program used to underground utilities in residential areas. Because of the limited amount of funds available to underground the large amount of existing overhead utilities, the City Council adopted a policy that gives priority for undergrounding utilities in conjunction with construction projects along major and primary arterial highways, and then to projects along the City's arterial roadways. In order for an undergrounding project to be eligible for funding under the Rule 20A program, the project must satisfy one or more of the following PUC specified criteria: The undergrounding will eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead facilities, or The street is extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicle traffic, or 11 MIS_ 11 SYS %Users\PBW %Shared%COUNCIL1Fy 2000- 01\August MD 16,17 & 18.docDate: August 8, 2000 Page 2 The street adjoins or passes through a civic area, a public recreation area, or an area of unusual scenic interest to the general public. The City's current Rule 20A undergrounding program has expended most of the available funds through calendar year 2001, with the most recent project being the undergrounding along Newport/Balboa Boulevard — McFadden Square intersection and Newport Boulevard from 19"' Street to 32 "d Street, currently in design. The City's account from the Edison Company's Rule 20A undergrounding program will receive projected allotments of $342,500 per year for the next several years. The City must hold a hearing and adopt a resolution to establish the District in order to use the funds. At its regular meeting held on June 27, 2000, the City Council confirmed the priority list submitted by the City Council Rule 20A Subcommittee for the next three districts. As a result staff has labeled these districts in their priority order. Underground Utility District 16 (UUD 16) covers Bayside Drive from Jamboree Road to El Paseo Drive and El Paseo Drive from Bayside Drive to Seadrift Drive. UUD 17 covers Superior Avenue from Placentia Avenue to south of Ticonderoga Street. UUD 18 is along San Joaquin Hills Road from Spyglass Hill Road to El Capitan Drive. Maps of these districts are attached for reference. Underground Utility District 16 ( Bayside Drive and El Paseo Drive) has an estimated cost of $850,000. Southern California Edison anticipates it will take approximately 2.5 years to complete the design for this District. Based upon the City's expected allocation of Rule 20A funds, this project could be constructed in the year 2004. There are only two private connections to this line that the owners will have to reconnect to the undergrounded system. UUD 17 (Superior Avenue) is expected to cost $615,000 and funds would be available to construct this project in the year 2005. Edison expects the design of this District to take approximately 3 years. There is one private connection to this power line that will need to be reconnected. UUD 18 (San Joaquin Hills Road) has an estimated cost of $1,000,000. Southern California Edison anticipates the design for this district will take approximately 4 years. Funds for this District are expected to be available in the year 2008. There are no private connections to this section of power line. The recommendation to hold public hearings is based upon the following findings: 1. The Edison Company will have funds available from the City's allocation of Rule 20A funds by the dates listed above, if the City establishes the proposed Districts. 2. The proposed Underground Utility Districts meet the PUC eligibility criteria as stated above. \%MIS_1 \SYS \Users\PBW\Shared \COUNCIL \Fy 2000- 01\August 8\AD 16,17 & 18.docDate: August 8, 2000 Page 3 3. The proposed Districts conform to the City Council's priority criteria stated above. 4. If other desirable undergrounding projects should be identified, additional funds are projected to be available after 2008, or the City could request an advance of funds from Southern California Edison. Also attached for information is a report describing the City's utility funded underground program from its inception in 1968 to the present.

The procedure of most interest to the public is one by which utility companies furnish the funds, and local public agencies determine where they will be spent. The procedure is referred to as the Rule in Case 8209. The Southern California Edison Company designates this procedure as Rule 20A. Pacific Bell does not allocate specific amounts of money to a public agency; however, it undergrounds the same area that is undergrounded by the power company. The Rule in Case 8209 (Rule 20A1 In 1965, the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California instituted an order of investigations, Case 8209, concerning tariffs, practices, economics, and the esthetics of undergrounding. In 1967, as a result of the investigations and after holding a number of public hearings, the commission established rules for the replacement of overhead facilities with underground facilities. The rule in Case 8209 (Rule 20A) provides that each public utility will, at its own expense, replace overhead facilities provided that the governing body of the city or county has: A. Determined, after consultation with the utility companies and after holding public hearings, that such undergrounding is in the public interest for one or more of the following reasons: The undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead facilities. 2. The street is extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic; and 3. The street adjoins or passes through a civic area or public recreation area or an area of unusual scenic interest to the general public. B. Created an underground district in the area which provides that: All existing overhead communications and electrical distribution facilities in the district shall be removed; and 2. Each property owner served from such overhead facilities shall provide all facility changes on his premises necessary to receive service from the underground facilities of the utility as soon as it is available; and Subject: Rule 20A Undergrounding District Priority List January 11, 2000 3. The utilities are authorized to discontinue their overhead services. Underground Utilities Coordinating Committee: To meet the requirements of the Rule Case 8209, on December 28, 1968, the City Council established the Underground Utilities Coordinating Committee. The original committee consisted of 4 members: 1. City Manager 2. Public Works Director 3. Representative from the Southern California Edison Company 4. Representative from Pacific Bell The main purposes of this committee are to: • Make recommendations to the City Council on the location and priority of conversion work within the City. • Advise the City Council on all underground utilities matters. • Coordinate underground work and plans between the City and affected utility companies. The Underground Utilities Coordinating Committee meets bimonthly, and the meetings are open to the public. Establishment of Priorities: After the first series of public hearings were held by the City Council, it became evident that because of; (1) the limited funds available, (2) the large number of requests for undergrounding, and (3) the difficulty in getting the individual property owners to pay for work (service conversions) to be done on private property, a uniform City -wide approach was needed. On October 26, 1971, the City Council approved the following policy for establishing underground utility districts: 1. First priority will be given to undergrounding utilities along Coast Highway. 2. A special review of priorities will be given to undergrounding when extensive construction is proposed along major and primary streets. Some of the reasons for concentrating on Coast Highway were as follows: 1. The conversion on Coast Highway would meet all of the criteria established by Rule 20A. Subject: Rule 20A Undergrounding District Priority List January 11, 2000 2. Coast Highway carries an unusually heavy volume of vehicular traffic and is used by everyone in the City. 3. Coast Highway was designated by the State as a scenic highway. 4. The Orange County Coast Association is working to underground the entire length of the Coast Highway in Orange County. 5. The Newport Tomorrow Report recommended undergrounding in commercial areas. 6. Most of the adjoining property owners were willing to pay for the cost of the work done on private property.
