underground and the Design Review Board had made an exception to that and we reconsidered
this and noticed it up tonight and invited Bill and Tami Reed to come tonight and discuss with us
how we can make these lines go underground.
Bill Reed: I would like to ask the Council for an exception. I have looked at other areas around
town, including the City parking lot, and there are overhead and not underground lines. The
lines were in the back so they were obstructed. Ours are much more obstructed because of their
location in the back. The lines are very hard to see and I have concern of the tree that is located
there and the new black top. It will be had to place the lines underground.
