7. INSTALLATION OF HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION POLES ON NORTH SIDE
OF DAINES DR. OBJECTED TO BY VERNON HAMMOND, 5500 N. Persimmon
Ave. eta]. The City Attorney reported the easement rights of
Edison Co. are there and they do have the right to install the
power lines which were installed. The City Manager advised -
meetings had been held regarding the location of this transmis-
sion line and the Flood Control would not give permission to
use the channel, also the C. A. A. would not grant permission
to use Lower Azusa Rd. because of the El Monte airport. He
advised Edison Co. indicated they talked to the property owners.
Also the City received a petition containing 79 signatures re-
presenting 51 property owners and of these 7 faced on Daines Dr.
out of 35 properties facing on Daines Dr. This amount of
voltage cannot be put underground.
Mr. Vernon Hammond, 5500 N. Persimmon, advised he was not inform
ed by Edison Co. and that they felt some other route could have
been used. The City Manager advised him if he felt private
property rights have been violated that Edison Co. could better
answer his questions as the City cannot be responsible as there
is an easement on the property and they do have rights to run
over the road easement, that the City is not in a position to
tell Edison Co. whether or not they can. We can negotiate but
we cannot force them, and this is precisely what the City did.
Under the present procedure the responsibility is with the Edi-
son Co.
