City Attorney Dote..vr COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY Condensed Title: A Resolution In Support Of The Undergrounding,And Urging FPL To Undertake The Undergrounding Of FPL Lines On The Venetian Islands. Key Intended Outcome Supported: Item Summary/Recommendation: Three of the Venetian Islands are currently undergoing neighborhood improvements. Residents are requesting that undergrounding be added as part of the project on Di Lido and San Marino Islands (mimicking the work performed on Rivo Alto a couple of years ago). What appears to be stopping this effort is the proposed location of the transformers: the above ground facilities that would need to be installed in the public right of way (ROW). These locations are not the preferred approach by FPL, however, it has been noted that these islands are very similar in layout to Rivo Alto, where the facilities were located in ROW. The City has no objection in locating the transformers in the ROW by permit. At its June 10, 2015 meeting,the City Commission placed a referral to the Neighborhood and Community Affairs Committee (NCAC)for direction and further discussion. On June 26, 2015, the NCAC was made aware of a meeting with FPL scheduled for June 30, 2015,where the public was welcome to attend. The NCAC referred the item to the full Commission in favor of placing the transformers in the ROW and that further action will depend upon the outcome of the June 30th meeting.
