REQUEST FOR ; <br /> COUNCIL ACTION ~ <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> JULY 6, 2010 <br /> TITLE: APPROVED <br /> AUTHORIZATION TO INSTALL FIBER ? As Recommended <br /> OPTIC CABLE IN AUTO MALL DRIVE ? As Amended <br /> ? Ordinance on 15' Reading <br /> ? Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br /> ? Implementing Resolution <br /> ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Authorize the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to execute the attached Right of Entry <br /> and License Agreement with Santa Ana Properties, LLC, to grant a revocable encroachment permit <br /> to install a fiber optic cable across Auto Mall Drive. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Crevier BMW is planning to relocate a portion of its existing dealership in the Santa Ana Auto Mall. <br /> Crevier is located at 1500 Auto Mall Drive and is in the process of acquiring ownership of the <br /> property across the street at 1455 Auto Mall Drive. The property is vacant and formerly served as <br /> the Bauer Jaguar dealership. Crevier plans to use the new location for new car sales and service of <br /> its Mini brand. <br /> As part of the relocation, Crevier plans to connect the sites to share data, voice and video <br /> conferencing, and Intranet network systems. In order to meet its high demand network <br /> communication requirements and ensure optimum performance between the two facilities, the <br /> applicant is requesting approval to install an underground fiber optic backbone cable across Auto <br /> Mall Drive (exhibit 1). <br /> Prior to approaching the City with the request, Crevier explored other options to connect the sites, <br /> such as wireless technology and public communication utility services. Wireless technology fell <br /> short of meeting the desired network's communication speed level. Public communication utility <br /> services lack facilities within the proposed area. <br /> Since the fiber optic cable in the Auto Mall Drive right of way will be owned and maintained by <br /> <br /> Crevier (a private party rather than a public utility), an agreement for a revocable encroachment <br /> <br /> permit is required along with insurance and a surety bond. <br /> 25D-1 <br /> <br />
