SCHEDULED ITEMS: 2. Utilities in Tract No. 3924. i� Discussion was continued from Council Meeting of September 6i. There was lengthy discussion pro and con regarding oral pr6posa15 for underground utilities on La Barranca Way versus service at the back lines of lots #1, 2, 3, and 4, submitted by Councilmen Aiken and Davey (who inspected the property), and from Mr. J. gyne, of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Comments, as well as objections, on these proposals were heard from Mr. S. T.farkoe, owner of lot =2, and Mr. R. Cowden, owner of Lot #4. It was determined from the discussion that letters of intent from L. Price (owner of Lot #1) dated July 19k and from S. Markoe, dated. July 18, 1966 to Pacific Gas & Electric Co. exist as an interim measure until a right-of-way along the rear of lots #1 and #2 could be effected. Discussion also brought out that both Messrs. Markoe and Cowden desire underground utilities and that Mr. Cowden was under a hardship for immediate service. In view of the facts presented, Deputy Mayor Bowler stated Council action was not required and suggested that Messrs. Kyrie, Markoe and Cowden solve the problem with the overlaying solution of undergrounding the wires. Deputy Mayor also recognized the fact that this is a solution only to the immediate problem and that the general problem remains to be worked out. Councilman Davey concurred; however, Councilman Aiken, as a matter of record, objected since it would only 1. ) solve the problem of two lots and leave the question of service to the other lots undecided. He also requested the records note the lack of detail in the previous Minutes regarding the re- subdivision (Tract #3924) as to why the underground was not specifically required on this land and his point in case for calling for more detailed Minutes. Disposition: No action taken by Council. Upon Mr. Kyne's request for reconsideration of the Town's letter to Pacific Gas S. Electric Co. dated--'.ugust 16, 1966, Deputy Mayor Bowler instructed the City Clerk to advise Facific Gas & Electric Co. by letter that a further ninety days will be permitted in which to allow the above interested parties to work out the distribution area. 3. Discussion of Swimming Pool Fencing. Deputy Mayor Bowler stated that the results of numerous public hearings and a full scale investigation by the Council indicated there is $rong sentiment within the Town against fencing of swimming pools, however, there is a need for a vehicle to make residents aware of the hazards of a pool. He therefore proposed a safety ordinance, which would put the residents on notice as to these hazards and that the pool area be defined, by plantings, paths, etc. The City Attorney was instructed to draft an ordinance based on the safety approach rather than the fencing approach. -2-
