SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works ~~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager;~,i~{~)
(4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
Recently, the Board Directors of the San Diego Country Club submitted plans to
reconstruct their permanent clubhouse and associated facilities. In order to
accomplish this, they propose to use mobile buildings for approximately one
year while the new construction is taking place. The temporary facilities
will be located on Naples Street at the southeast portion of the property.
The City Code requires that all utility services to a development (including
• temporary buildings) be placed underground. The owners have applied for a
deferral of this requirement. Chapter 15.32 of the Code allows the Council to
approve such a deferral after a public hearing is held.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the subject resolution with conditions
as stated in the body of this report.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The City is currently processing plans submitted by the San Diego Country Club
for a new clubhouse and related facilities to be located in the same area
adjacent to "L" Street as the existing buildings. Demolition and extensive
grading are planned for the project.
In order to continue the use of the property as a country club, the owners
propose to move on several mobile structures to use as temporary facilities.
They plan to locate these buildings and construct a parking lot in the
southeast portion of the property, adjacent to Naples Street.
As the building plans were processed through the Engineering Division, the
requirement to underground utility services to the buildings was added.
On March 17, 1988, the owners applied for a deferral of this requirement,
• stating that it would be an undue financial hardship and that the facilities
were to be temporary in nature. The estimated cost of undergrounding the
electrical, TV and telephone services submitted by the applicants is $6,080.

According to the City Code, the City Council may grant the deferral if, at the
close of the required public hearing, it finds that:
1. That enforcement of the requirement would result in unnecessary
hardship and;
2. That the deferral will not be detrimental to the health, safety or
welfare of the general public.
After investigating this matter, we have found that the following facts exist:
1. All structures in the vicinity are currently being served by overhead
lines.
2. The lines will only be in place for approximately a year.
3. The cost/benefit ratio is high enough to justify the deferral.
Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of the deferral with
the condition that the owners enter into an agreement to include the following
stipulations.
1. That the overhead services be removed at such time as the permanent
• facilities are completed and occupied or not later than two years.
2. That the owners shall not protest the formation of an undergrounding
district, should one occur during the life of the deferral.
Slides and a transparency are available for Council viewing.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
