Steve,
I figured out why the newspaper and my information appeared to be in conflict. So the problem is solved.
Best regards,

Rich,
We received notice about the underground utilities that said we are not in the new utility
district 67. We were told this is because the undergrounding will take place on the East
side of the road, and those properties will be undergrounded. This information conflicts
with the headline article in the 10 Apr 2014 Chieftain where is says "West side ".
And it says some poles will remain. Can you tell me which poles will be removed?
Especially those that are on or near our property? I tried to find information on the City
website, but was not successful.
Sincerely,
David Haessig

Thanks so much Steve for your prompt response and for addressing all of my questions in both this email and your
phone call to me this morning. Once again I feel privileged to experience what a pleasure it is to live in Poway where my
city government acts so professionally and so responsively for its residents.

> Mr. Michael,
> Thank you for your email. There is not a fee increase or tax associated with this resolution. As far as estimating the
construction start date, the creation of an underground district requires a series of three City Council Meetings, after
which the utility companies will prepare plans and specs for bidding the undergrounding construction work. This will
likely put the actual start of undergrounding construction a year or more from today. This work commonly occurs in two
phases, first trenching, installation of conduit, and trench repair, followed by the placing of cables in the conduit and
removal of the overhead lines and poles.
> There will likely be power outages associated with this work, if your property is affected by a proposed power outage
you will receive an advance notice from the utility companies indicating the date and estimated duration of the outage.
> The wording of the notice indicating whether a property is or is not within the proposed district is actually referring to
whether or not the service to the residence on the property will be placed underground. The individual service to your
residence will not be placed underground, however you are correct that a portion of the proposed district would cross
easements on your property. The north /south overhead lines on the east side of Espola Road at El Topo Drive would be
placed underground and also the overhead line running east along El Topo Drive from Espola Road would be placed
underground up to the existing pole located near the northeast corner of your property.

> I own the property at 14219 El Topo Dr. and just got the notice about the City Council meeting for the Resolution of
Intention. I have an observation to share and some questions for you.
> Observation:
> I have had occasion to visit the City's Planning /Engineering department in the past and observed that the City's version
(at least the one that was presented on the Department's computer for me to view) of the area's plat map was incorrect.
(On a side note, my interactions with Penny Riley were very pleasant and professional and I'm sorry to see her gone).
> To wit; It doesn't reflect the fact that my property includes El Topo Dr. from Espola to my eastern property line, and
that my property includes the eastern half (northbound lanes) of Espola 50 feet north and south each in direction from
the midpoint of El Topo Dr. (I often joke with my neighbors that I should revoke my easement with the city and put up a
toll booth on the northbound lanes of Espola as the morning rush hour to the high school would help fund a fairly nice
retirement).
> Therefore technically the Notice is inaccurate in stating "...your property does not fall within the limits of the proposed
Underground Utility District..." as it actually does. I have not encountered this City plat map inaccuracy being an issue
until now, and I'm not sure if it really is an issue even now, but if you think it should be corrected to make sure the City
properly understands where my property boundries are, then I have the deed, plat maps and easements available for
the City to review.

> Thanks, Steve for taking the time to give me this information as it will help me determine if I should attend the April
15, 2014 City Council meeting and if I need to insist that the City correct its mis- understanding of my property
boundries.
