Item No. 4 (continued) Maureen Gallaqher - Stoney and Jim Stoney, 968 Pleasant Hill Road, the - . applicants, indicated they have a letter from the neighbor whose trees would be trimmed stating there is no objection and that the trees which will be removed will be replaced by larger ones. They said the PG &E representative had explained the procedure for moving and replacing the utility pole to Mr. Allen and noted that the Director of Public Works agrees there will be no drainage problems, if they proceed with construction planned. They also said they plan heavy landscaping in order to assure their own privacy and that of Mr. Allen which will be improved. Discussion continued and it was pointed out that the utility easement is for overhead wires only and extends some 24 -feet into the Stoney property while also serving the similar -size Allen property which has no such easement, and that the line was installed for the convenience of the utility company rather than shared equally by adjacent property owners. Janet Hay, PG &E Company representative, reported that it is proposed to construct the pole line off to one side where it will be less visible than at present, and where the required 6 -foot clearance can be maintained. Mayor Britschgi invited anyone else present who wished to speak to do so. No one wished to speak. M /S: Stangel /Bury to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously by voice vote public hearing closed at 8:40 p.m. Title read.
