I' Councilman Henderson asked that since she had not been present during recent dis - cussions on this issue , would like to indicate she did not support recommendations of Council nor could see any benefit from reopening hearings in Washington , as felt studies should be made of the Corps of Engineers report before requesting release of additional units for FHA approval . She also indicated other areas wherein she disputed points . PUBLIC HEARING , Underground Utility District , No . 69 -1 , Woodside Road , declared open and affidavits of publication , mailing and posting ordered filed . Council on October 13 , 1969 , adopted Resolution of Intention to form the District setting public hearing for this date . It was also noted County of San Mateo had granted to City extra -territorial jurisdiction over the parcels included in the District , but outside the City Limits . Mr . Neil Turner , owner of property at 1890 Valota Road , corner of Woodside and Valota, questioned amount of costs involved , whether easements to be required , and why he had not had more notice of this involvement prior to this public hearing . City Manager advised of the public information clinics that had been held prior to this public hearing , with a majority of property owners in attendance , where explanations were given as to the proposed formation of this District , and that Council established policy that there would be no direct assessment against the individual property owners abutting Woodside Road for the cost of undergrounding other than the expense of converting from a rear line overhead service connection to a front line underground connection where appropriate . He added if property served from the rear and it was found possible such service could be continued from the rear , there would be no involvement at all . He advised the only easements necessary to be obtained were for space for placing of pad mounted transformers , etc . , and such easements were being obtained by individual contact of property owners , where such space needed , by PG&E repre - sentatives now in the field . He also noted there had been no legal requirements for holding of the informational clinics prior to this hearing but held for courtesy to property owners , but legal notice had been made of this public hear - ing by both mailing and publication , Mr . Carl P . Martineau , Jr . , City ' s consulting Electrical Engineer for this project , advised Mr . Turner ' s property was one of those parcels found to be ably serviced from the rear of his property on Valota Road , and he would , there - fore , not be involved in this District . Mr . Sherman Henry , 2145 Woodside Road , requested his property be excluded from this Undergrounding District as outside of the City and unincorporated area of County , and reason for placing terminus at Churchill Road . :k' : TS
