Council Meeting: December 9, 1986
Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City staff
SUBJECT: Amendment of the Boundaries of the Marine Park
Underground Utility District.
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
Resolution setting a public hearing for January 13, 1986 and
amending the boundaries of the Marine Park Underground Utility
District from the area bounded by Marine street from 17th street
to Frederick Street, 16th street from sunset Avenue to Dewey
street and Dewey street from 16th street to Robson Avenue: to the
area bounded by Marine street from 17th street to Frederick
street, 16th street from Ashland Avenue to Dewey Street and Dewey
street from 16th street to Robson Avenue, and ordering the
underground installation of utilities. (See attached map) .
Background
On June 25, 1968, the Santa Monica City council adopted Ordinance
No. 773 (City Council Series), adding Chapter 9 to Article VIr of
the Santa Monica Municipal Code, establishing regulations and
procedures for overhead and underground utilities.
In accordance with the above, on November 26, 1985 the Santa
Monica City council designated the area bounded by Sunset Avenue,
Marine Street, 17th Street and Paula Drive as an underground
utility district (see Map A). This area was designated as an
underground utility district because the Southern California

Edison Company has a high concentration of regional transmission
wires emanating from an electrical substation in the immediate
area, and due to the fact that the electrical facilities adjoin a
public recreation facility, namely Marine Park.
On March 3, 1986 the Southern California Edison Company indicated
that an extension of the initial boundaries of the Marine Park
Underground utility District to include the area on 16th Street
from Sunset Avenue to Dewey street, on Marine street from 17th
Street to Frederick Street, and on Dewey Street from 16th street
to Robson Avenue was necessary in order to more fully comply with
the eligibility criterion for underground utility district. This
first proposed amendment was approved by the City Council on June
24, 1986 (see Map B).
On September 16, 1986, the City received a request from the
Southern California Edison Company to again expand the district
boundaries to the area bounded by Marine Street from 17th Street
to Frederick Street, 16th Street from Ashland Avenue to Dewey
street and Dewey Street from 16th street to Robson Avenue (see
Map C.) Southern California Edison made this request after
realizing, in the engineering stage, that the right-of-way
locations for telephone poles proposed in the first boundaries
amendment would not be of adequate width, i.e., the poles would
have to be located in sidewalk areas leaving very little space
for pedestrian passage. A more suitable location with sufficient
right-of-way exits in the adjacent block between Ashland and Bryn
Mawr.

All property owners in the affected area will be notified by mail
of the public hearing and of the city's intention to expand the
district's boundaries.
Implications
The most significant change to be noted in extending the
project's boundaries is that nine (9) additional residential
properties will come within the district's limits. Overhead
poles and wires that run along the front of these properties will
be removed, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the area.
Facilities to be undergrounded are regional transmission
facilities that do not provide service directly to the nine
properties involved. All residents in the district will continue
to receive electrical service from existing aerial utility poles
located along the rear of their properties. Therefore, there
will be no cost to owners in completing this project as no
underground connections to the residential properties will be
required.
Budget and Fiscal Impact
All costs of the undergrounding project are borne by the utility
company. There is no budget or fiscal impact to the city.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
Resolution setting the pUblic hearing for January 13, 1986 to

District.
