SUBJECT: UNDERGROUND UTILITIES DISTRICT NO. 19 —SANTA ANA HEIGHTS
(AREA BOUNDED BY MESA DRIVE, CYPRESS STREET, AND A
PORTION OF ORCHARD DRIVE); AMENDING THE DISTRICT
BOUNDARY
Recommendations:
1. Approve Revised Engineer's Report and Amended Boundary Map and set the
date of March 10, 2009 for a Public Hearing.
2. Direct staff to mail out notice of Public Hearing and an informal advisory survey
of property owners regarding whether they are in favor of or opposed to
Underground Utilities District No. 19 (UUD -19) and paying for the private service
conversions.
Background:
The community of Santa Ana Heights (SAH), acting through the Santa Ana Heights
Project Advisory Committee (SAHPAC) first requested the County of Orange to form an
Underground Utilities District in 1995. The primary reason cited for the formation of an
UUD was the fact that power poles stand in the middle of the horse bridle paths along
Cypress Street and Mesa Drive. There are also poles in the sidewalk areas of both
streets forcing riders and pedestrians to walk into the street to move around the poles.
These streets are the community's primary equestrian trails and access routes to Upper
Newport Bay Nature Preserve.
On July 31, 2002 the Orange County Board of Supervisors directed the County's Public
Facilities and Resources Department to prepare a report on the formation of an UUD in
eastern SAH using the area's redevelopment (RDA) funds. In June 2003, homeowners
in SAH were sent information on this preliminary report. In July 2003, the City of
Newport Beach officially annexed this area, and in doing so, became the more
appropriate authority to actually create the UUD for the area.

(Area Bounded By Mesa Drive, Cypress Street, and a Portion of Orchard Drive)

Still using County redevelopment funds, the City moved forward with the project and
hired GFB- Friedrich in July 2004 to prepare a map and Underground Utilities Report to
explain the scope of the project and the impact to area residents. City staff and the
contractor met with the SAHPAC in August 2004.
On November 23, 2004 City Council set a public hearing for January 11, 2005 to
consider the formation of UUD -19. Subsequently, the public hearing was continued
until June 14, 2005 because of a disagreement about the use of redevelopment funds
for private property utility hook -ups. The City went forward and formed UUD -19 with the
understanding that RDA funds could be used for private property utility hook -ups, and
notified affected residents accordingly. Note that UUD -19 is not an assessment district
and does 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
underground district of this type.
In order to apprise the property owners of the proceedings, a letter was forwarded to all
affected property owners on May 27, 2005 with copies of the Engineer's Report, Staff
Report dated April 26, 2005, and Notice of Public Hearing for June 14, 2005. Signs of
the Notice of Public Hearing were also posted throughout the area on May 27, 2005.
City Council established UUD -19 on June 14, 2005.
SCE completed their initial design efforts in the fall of 2006, which are used as a base
for the cable and phone companies. Subsequently, AT &T expressed some design
concerns and potential large cost impacts to the district. In addition, AT &T insisted that
extensive phone system infrastructure required for the large properties south of Mesa
Drive should not be put in as an AT &T system but should be the responsibility of the
individual homeowners. They had concerns about being responsible for facilities
behind private gates on individual private properties and cited that this is against
established guidelines and procedures for their company.
In April 2008, the County of Orange, through Supervisor John Moorlach's Chief of Staff
Mario Mainero, informed the SAHPAC that upon request, State law will not support
using RDA funds for private hookups. Therefore, no RDA money was to be used to
fund private property utility hook -ups or for the undergrounding efforts on the properties
south of Mesa Drive. The RDA funds were only to be used for the undergrounding of
utilities within the public right -of -way. Therefore, each property owner will now be
responsible for their hook -up to the underground facilities and any undergrounding on
private properties.
Discussion:
Per the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Newport Beach and the
County of Orange entered July 8, 2003 and amended July 13, 2004 and July 19, 2007,
the Orange County Redevelopment Agency intends to provide $7.5 million dollars in
Underground Utilifies District No- 19 — Santa Ana Heights
(Area Bounded By Mesa Drive, Cypress Street, and a Portion of Orchard Drive)
January 13,2009

funding for this Underground District. With the City managing this project for the
County, this funding will provide for all the undergrounding of utilities in the public right -
of-wav at no cost to the residents of the district. The RDA's significant financial
contribution to the undergrounding equates to a substantial savings for area residents
(on the average, over other non -RDA assessment projects in the City, as shown in the
below chart comparing the public and private costs for several recent districts:

$4,750,000
$13,415
$4,000
Because of the discrepancy over private property hook -ups and the assertions by AT &T
about phone infrastructure, the following actions must occur:
1. The Boundary Map approved in 2005 for the district must be amended to exclude
those properties south of Mesa Drive that have multiple poles. The undergrounding
will take place to the first pole within these properties and the remaining system will
stay overhead. Those properties will be required to underground when any future
building permits are requested and the overhead facilities would be removed at that
time and at their cost. An Amended Boundary Map is attached here as an Exhibit.
2. Because the property owners were previously informed that they would bear no
costs for the private service conversions, we need to correct this misunderstanding.
To accomplish this, staff is recommending sending out an informal advisory survey
to all property owners within the amended boundaries to gauge the support for the
overall undergrounding effort given the roughly $5,000 (on average) expense that
each property owner will now incur. The surveys would be due back before the date
of the public hearing, so that the survey results may be provided to Council prior to
the public hearing date. The surveys.do not constitute a formal ballot — they are
intended to provide guidance to the City as to the community's willingness to move
forward or to stop the project before more work is done.
Prior to the public hearing, an informational meeting will be held during the regularly
scheduled SAHPAC meeting. The meeting will be on February 4th, 2009 at the Santa
Ana Heights Fire Station from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Environmental Review:
This project qualifies for a Class 2 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
exemption under Section 15302, item "d" of the Implementing Guidelines as follows:
"Conversion of overhead electric utility distribution system facilities to underground
including connection to existing overhead electric utility distribution lines where the
surface is restored to the condition existing prior to the undergrounding."

Underground Utilities District No. 19 (Santa Ana Heights • Mesa Drive and Cypress Street)
Amended Engineer's Report Page 10
Part V (A)
Description of Works of Improvement
The following improvements are proposed to be constructed and installed in street rights -of -way and
utility easements along Cypress Street, Mesa Drive and Orchard Drive.
1. Removal of existing utility poles.
2. Removal of high- voltage power lines, local power lines, telephone lines, and cable TV lines
hanging between the poles to be removed.
3. Removal of overhead resident service drops.
4. Construction of mainline underground power, telephone and cable conduit, with appurtenant
vaults, manholes and pullboxes.
5. Construction of service conduit and appurtenances.
The improvements will be designed by the Southern California Edison Company, AT &T and Time
Warner Cable. The City of Newport Beach will inspect the work to ensure conformance to City
standards and specifications where applicable.
Once completed, the underground facilities will become the property and responsibility of Southern
California Edison Company, AT &T, and Time Warner Cable.
Each owner of property located within the Utilities District will be responsible for arranging for and
paying for work on his or her property necessary to connect facilities constructed by the public
utilities in the public streets to the points of connection on the private property. Conversion of
individual service connections on private property is not included in the work done by the Utilities
District.
The estimated time for completion of the undergrounding of the utilities is 18 months from the start
of construction to the removal of the overhead wiring and removal of utility poles. Property owners
will be required to provide necessary underground connections after the completion of the
underground facilities.
Failure to convert individual service connections on private property may result in a recommendation
to the City Council that the public utilities be directed to discontinue service to that property
pursuant to Section 15.32 of the Municipal Code. Overhead facilities cannot be removed until all
overhead service has been discontinued.

The undersigned, under penalty of perjury, CERTIFIES as follows:
The improvements to be constructed under the proceedings in the Utilities District are
categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

Part A
Property Owner Information with On -Site Undergrounding Costs
On the following page is a spreadsheet listing property owner information, including the Assessor's
Parcel Number and parcel address. This list is keyed to the Orange County Assessor's Roll for
property owner's name and mailing address for receipt of notices regarding the Utilities District.
Also included is the estimated cost for undergrounding the on -site service lines from the existing
overhead utility lines in the public right -of -way, that is proposed to be undergrounded.
Please note that certain lots have a zero ($0.00) on -site undergrounding costs. These lots were
previously undergrounded and therefore have no additional costs to underground the services.
The source of the on -site undergrounding cost per lot is the report titled "Santa Ana Heights
Redevelopment Utility Underground Project, Private Property Cost Estimates," prepared for the
County of Orange by Joanna Futerman, Inc., and is dated December 2000. The individual "per lot"
estimates include private property costs for the underground utility service construction, structure
retrofit (meter panels, etc.), and the repair /replacement of hardscape, walls, shrubbery, trees, and turf
disturbed by the construction. Because of the passage of time between December 2000 and when
on -site private property construction is estimated to take place, inflation has been taken into
consideration and factors have been applied to the costs in the Futerman Report. These updated
costs are shown in this Report.
Certain lots within the current Utilities District were added since the Futerman report was prepared
or were otherwise not included in the said report. Those lots did not have an on -site cost in the
report. Those lots that did not have an estimate included have had their costs estimated based on
similar lots or are identified as "To Be Determined" (TBD).
