<br />which Roseville competes for residents and businesses, utility lines <br />are underground. <br /> <br />23. Underground utility lines improve the functionality of the pri- <br />vate or public property they cross. There is more room to play <br />safely and do other outdoor activities if you remove huge above <br />ground poles and wires from property. <br /> <br />24. Tree "trimming" underneath aboveground utility lines often re- <br />sults in tree death and removal. For example, the trees along the <br />north side of County C in front of the Westwood Village Town- <br />homes were cut so severely they eventually had to be removed. <br />Other trees that do survive the "trimming" are left deformed. <br /> <br />25. For the sake of consistency and fairness, the Council should <br />adopt a citywide Policy stating that Staff shall study the feasibil- <br />ity of undergrounding utility facilities every time a City street or <br />pathway Project is considered adjacent to those utility facilities; I <br />recommend the Policy state that unless some special engineering <br />or economic issue surfaces in the feasibility study, the Council <br />will direct the utility company to place their facilities under- <br />ground as part of the Project, with the costs to be spread citywide <br />among all utility customers consistent with the rules and regula- <br />tions of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. Applied con- <br />sistently, a Council Policy would assure residents that over the long <br />run everyone will benefit from the small surcharge on everyone's <br />utility bill. <br /> <br />8 <br />
