Page 6 . City Council 03-10-08
.
District 99-1 Rule 20A funded project to underground the overhead utilities in the
project by reducing the area that now contain approximately 1,100 linear feet
along Seal Beach Boulevard from Balsa Avenue on the north to Marlin Avenue on
the south and authorized SCE to proceed. Mayor Antos declared the public
hearing open for consideration of Resolution Number 5690 the formation of
Underground UtIltty District along Beverly Manor Road from 405 Freeway to Seal
Beach Boulevard. The City Clerk stated that the public hearing notice was
published In the Sun newspaper on February 28, 2008 as required by law and
stated that no correspondence for or against the Item was received. Mayor
Antos asked anyone wishing to speak either for or against this Item to come to
the microphone and state their name for the record. Speakers: Robert
Goldberg, Bridgeport, did not agree with staff's reccmmendatlon and suggested
other areas for consideration: 1) Marina Drive between 1 st and 5th Streets, 2)
PCH between Seal Beach Blvd. and 12th Street, and 3) Balsa Avenue on the
other side of McGaugh Elementary School. Eldon Alexander, 8th Street,
Indicated there are other areas In the City that could be considered and does not
agree with staff's selection. Mike Buhbe, Seal Beach, commented that there
should be an overall plan for underground utilities. There being no other
speakers the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Council comments: Councilman Shanks inquired n there has been a study of the
number of transits by the north gate Into Leisure World - staff response: the Ctty
has not conducted any traffic counts at that location - Councilman Levitt indicated
that Leisure Worid staff has counted about 1,400 vehicle passing per day.
Councilman Levitt stated It was not explained what the benefit would be for the
selected area - this does not benefit the Leisure World residents - staff response:
the thought was that the City will be spending a significant amount of money for
the replacement of the fire station and wants to make the area as presentable as
possible and the possibility that in the future there may be a need to have a hell-
pad available. Councilman Levitt said that he could not vote for the project
based on beautnicatlon of the area and a possible future need of a hell-pad.
