PUBLIC WORKS PLANNING REPORTS - December l985 (A-050-300) Public Works Director Arness presented the Public Works Planning Reports for December, l985. RESOLUTION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY - re South Loop Trans- mission Line (C-070-0l0 and E-090-l60-200) City Attorney Hays advised that the City is in the process of building a South Loop ll5 kv transmission line which requires the acquisition of easements generally running easterly of the old highway south of town, across the river, through the Churn Creek bottom, and back up to the newly-completed Airport Substation. Mr. Hays explained that the City has been unable to acquire the necessary easements, based upon the appraisals, from the property owners who are included in the Resolution before Council this evening. He stated that notices have been sent to the property owners advising them that this evening is the time and place to appear before Council to express themselves regarding the proposed acquisition. He advised that six property owners have requested to be heard. Electric Director Lindley presented a map of the project and reviewed the proposed route for the line, as well as the alternate routes that were studied. Kathleen Balint, 760l Thistle Lane, submitted letters of opposition from seven additional residents in the Churn Creek bottom area. She felt that this was the cheapest way to go at the expense of the residents. Ms. Balint pointed out that she is not a resident of the City. She noted that the project has proceeded very slowly and the residents were not kept informed about it. She declined the project. Candice Mello, 6738 Green Meadow Lane, said the proposed line will extend the entire length of her property. She contended that the public roads could accommodate the power line and asked Council if they would like this power line in their back yards. Billie K. Wood, 6599 Thistle Lane, said she is opposed to the trans- mission line. She pointed out these properties are not included in the City limits nor is it in the City's sphere of influence, yet these residents will bear the burden of the impact. Ms. Wood said the line will extend over 900 feet of their property and is located at the entrance of their property. She said they have a Christmas tree ranch and the transmission line will be placed at the entrance to their ranch. She emphasized that they have no benefit from the line but must bear the impact. William K. Woods, 6722 Green Meadow Lane, said he does not question the necessity of the line, but feels it should follow a public road. He believes there is a better route and said this is the first he knew there was a substation planned at the south end of town. Russell Murphey, P. O. Box 3006, was not present. Charles Marx, P. O. Box 350l, was not present. Council Member Pugh commented that this line will give the ability to serve the City from both the north and the south. Council Member Fulton asked why the route did not follow public roads. Mr. Lindley advised that staff did attempt to use public thoroughfares as much as possible. He said in the case of Niles Lane, there is a considerable section of additional width requirement before the easement, which means that the height of the lines would have been considerable and there would have been a large number of poles on each side to reach to the tower. Mr. Lindley said Knighten Road was not an acceptable alternative because the west end is not totally identified as to where it might go. Resolution MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Demsher that Resolution No. 85-262 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding finding that the public con- venience and necessity require the acquisition of certain real pro- perty interests for public improvements, to-wit: the building of the South Loop Electric Transmission Line (Billy and Gail Bailey, Kathleen L. Balint, Gerald and Barbara Boyer, Ed Ferguson, Everett Gould, James and Beverly Gunari, Michael and Deidre Hobbs, Robert and Sandra Knight, Charles H.
