[6:18] ?

[6:19] Yes.

[6:19] All right.

[6:22] I making a motion to accept the

[6:25] withdrawal I and no one I'll

[6:26] make a motion to accept the

[6:30] withdrawal of petition for

[6:33] utility pole on as extreme as

[6:34] written directed by the back in

[6:37] our favor my opinion polls are

[6:41] saying so we'll see you back

[6:44] here for that one in a few for

[6:51] No one on a petition by ever

[6:52] source energy for utility pole

[6:53] installation to install one

[6:56] nutriment utility pole with a

[6:57] guy wire attachment within

[6:58] heartwood street torches to be

[7:01] located on its northerly side

[7:03] and address number eighty five

[7:04] generally across from Spencer

[7:05] Street the privilege please

[7:08] introduce themselves, their

[7:09] affiliations and talkfests.

[7:09] >> Do what you really want to

[7:10] do.

[7:12] I Good morning.

[7:13] It's Katie Florini representing

[7:16] Everson's Electric and yes we

[7:17] would like to install one pole

[7:18] with an anchor guy near eighty

[7:20] five Beat Street and it's

[7:21] necessary to supply electric

[7:23] service for new construction at

[7:24] the Welcome Home Harbor Street

[7:28] Income District in new homes.

[7:32] I do want to share the plan so

[7:33] that you can have a look at

[7:33] where we would like to install

[7:39] the pole so choose the one that

[7:43] cut your screen.

[7:44] Choose that I don't want to

[7:48] screen choose out and no hit

[7:50] show there it is.

[7:57] Can you see the plan?

[7:57] >> We can yep.

[8:00] Ok so this is this is the

[8:01] location right here where we

[8:04] would like to install the new

[8:05] pole and then the anchor guy

[8:08] would be behind it to offer

[8:09] support for the existing poles

[8:11] and wires.

[8:12] So yes I'm going to interrupt

[8:15] please.

[8:16] This is Kelly Correo.

[8:17] I'm sitting here with Katie and

[8:20] there's a new construction for

[8:20] the housing at eighty four

[8:21] Harward Street right down here

[8:23] at the corner.

[8:24] And Spencer, currently our area

[8:26] lines come from this wall here

[8:27] and go down the street to this

[8:28] pole here.

[8:31] So we're in the way of the

[8:31] corner of the building.

[8:34] So by cutting a pole across the

[8:35] road we can redirect our area

[8:38] lines to go here and and follow

[8:39] down the street because from

[8:40] this pole here they actually go

[8:42] diagonally across.

[8:43] So we're just bringing them

[8:44] here out of the way in the new

[8:45] construction and then down the

[8:49] road this way I'm sorry I'm a

[8:50] little bit confused.

[8:53] >> Are you to you're crossing

[8:56] the street with the wire and

[8:57] then you're continuing are you

[9:01] then crossing back or how is

[9:04] this woman Rassilon So these

[9:05] two lines here forty two feet.

[9:08] Fifty two feet those are just

[9:09] measurement lines just from the

[9:11] existing pole to the new polls.

[9:13] Ok, and so our area wires

[9:16] currently come up Spencer

[9:16] Street this way to this pole

[9:19] and then they go down Halvard

[9:20] on this side of Harvard to this

[9:24] pole then over here they go

[9:27] across the road so because the

[9:27] building corner is right here,

[9:30] this area line is in the way or

[9:31] too close to the building.

[9:34] So by putting a pole over here

[9:35] ,airlines will come up Spencer

[9:38] Street, they'll cross to a new

[9:39] hall and they'll continue down

[9:41] on this side of Harvard.

[9:42] I see.

[9:43] Ok, so they're going to they're

[9:46] not they're not I think that

[9:47] was a question I have is are

[9:50] they crossing over and then

[9:53] crossing back and it sounds the

[9:54] answer to that is no.

[9:57] They're going to cross one.

[9:58] Does that mean you'll be moving

[9:59] one of these two poles that are

[10:01] existing?

[10:03] We're not the only one on pole

[10:06] ten so I would have to go back

[10:07] to my engineers.

[10:08] The design was just ah like the

[10:09] pole in our area lines here.

[10:12] I can certainly follow up and

[10:13] give you that answer but i

[10:16] don't have it at the moment.

[10:18] Ok, yeah I think that would be

[10:21] helpful from my perspective.

[10:22] I mean you know we obviously

[10:25] understand the suppose the way

[10:25] housing construction we got to

[10:26] we got to move it out of the

[10:26] way.

[10:29] I think my initial reaction to

[10:30] this is just that you're adding

[10:33] a whole and a support structure

[10:37] in a you know, already fairly

[10:37] narrow sidewalk condition and

[10:41] so that does impinge on

[10:42] accessibility for the area and

[10:46] so ideally if we're going to do

[10:48] that, it would be you

[10:49] especially given the nature

[10:50] of how you're rerouting the

[10:52] wiring we would at least free

[10:53] up some sidewalk space in an

[10:56] adjacent area to support some

[10:57] of the other you know, just the

[11:00] passage.

[11:01] I guess that's a good thing.

[11:04] I would prefer to see you guys

[11:05] trying to chase down an answer

[11:08] to yeah.

[11:09] And I can I can find out like I

[11:12] said, my engineers not in the

[11:13] office at the moment he is

[11:16] working today so it's something

[11:17] probably by the end of the day

[11:20] I could let you guys know so

[11:21] for the sake like not holding

[11:21] up the hearing we're still

[11:23] looking to install a new poll

[11:24] to get those wires out of the

[11:27] way anyway.

[11:28] Everybody who is on that call

[11:32] is encouraging the corner so

[11:33] like it has to be every one to

[11:34] remove the trespass right on

[11:38] the border.

[11:42] I would tend to think so maybe

[11:43] all the lines go between those

[11:45] two poles so you removing half

[11:46] or whatever it is it removes

[11:50] only half the problem.

[11:51] So yeah, I think that we're

[11:51] right.

[11:53] Can interested in everybody

[11:57] else committing to this move

[11:58] and then it seems like we'd

[12:00] have enough people out there

[12:01] who are we still have a

[12:04] trespass.

[12:05] Those are the only two options.

[12:06] Yeah.

[12:08] And I don't I don't know really

[12:09] could actually trespass is on

[12:09] the property.

[12:10] I know there's certain codes

[12:13] that the electric wires have to

[12:14] be x amount of feet away from a

[12:14] building.

[12:17] I don't know that cable or

[12:17] telephone because they're not

[12:21] energizes electricity MAY not

[12:21] have that same requirement so I

[12:24] don't know if they can stay.

[12:25] But again those those are

[12:26] questions I just I'll have to

[12:29] find out today and get back to

[12:30] you guys on I think we want

[12:31] everybody moved over right to

[12:32] that we want to creating ways

[12:36] to go around this.

[12:36] Right.

[12:37] Like so that this is cleaned up

[12:43] more understood and you explain

[12:44] the guy's situation so like

[12:47] what are you walking under now

[12:48] right.

[12:51] Like is that going diagonally

[12:52] from the pole to the sidewalk

[12:55] so that no so so near the top

[12:56] of the pole there'll be a metal

[12:59] arm and it goes straight

[13:00] backwards and then the

[13:01] guidewire itself will come

[13:04] straight down so that you can

[13:07] walk underneath it like

[13:08] housesit it without it being in

[13:09] your way as opposed to like

[13:12] some of our old ones it would

[13:13] be a diagonal and would cut

[13:13] right across your path.

[13:14] >> All right.

[13:15] We will need to know the

[13:16] clearance between your pole and

[13:19] the guy who so like so the guy

[13:22] the guy is just a little wire.

[13:23] It looks like an eyeball that

[13:24] goes into the ground.

[13:25] The anchor and the wire

[13:27] attaches to that so that only

[13:28] takes up an inch or two a

[13:31] sidewalk space.

[13:31] The pole itself will take up

[13:32] about twelve.

[13:35] So right here I have a four

[13:36] foot seven inch clearance but

[13:39] the sidewalks only like wide

[13:39] enough to allow for that.

[13:42] We actually did take

[13:43] measurements.

[13:44] I was out there with Katie

[13:44] yesterday.

[13:46] Can you pull a I'm going to I'm

[13:47] going to show you the

[13:50] measurements on the other

[13:54] fixtures out on there so I

[13:55] don't know if this is like big

[13:58] enough or hard to read but this

[13:59] pink right here is the proposed

[14:02] pole and I have a four foot

[14:03] seven inch clearance here this

[14:06] blue is just the width of the

[14:07] sidewalk in that area five feet

[14:09] ten inches.

[14:10] So my pole is going to take up

[14:13] like 12 to 13 inches.

[14:14] My girl take up one to two

[14:18] inches the pole next to it

[14:18] there's concrete light pole

[14:21] that's only four feet seven and

[14:22] a half inch between the pole in

[14:25] the back of the sidewalk.

[14:26] This pole down here at the

[14:27] corner.

[14:29] Waterlow, you are ten inch

[14:30] clearance and the next one down

[14:33] has four seven which will be

[14:34] the same as what we're

[14:35] proposing here and then the one

[14:37] up on the corner here there's

[14:38] only a four foot clearance

[14:40] between the pole and the wall

[14:41] and it's just I mean that's

[14:42] that's the width of the

[14:44] sidewalk.

[14:45] That's all it allows there.

[14:48] So we know ideally we want five

[14:49] feet but there isn't anything

[14:49] over there that can make the

[14:55] five feet.

[14:56] I mean it's it's not any less

[14:59] than what's already out.

[15:00] Yeah.

[15:00] I mean I appreciate that.

[15:03] You know, obviously what we're

[15:04] talking about is already

[15:06] suboptimal condition and I like

[15:07] something additional to it.

[15:08] So I think that's that's a

[15:08] concern.

[15:11] I just trying to you know,

[15:15] other simple things like I hear

[15:15] yeah.

[15:15] Yeah.

[15:21] Are you able to hear me now

[15:29] like you had no idea Katie and

[15:32] Kelly can you hear me that he's

[15:41] talking or nobody in my mind?

[15:44] Ok, I'm sorry if you guys were

[15:45] talking we couldn't hear you

[15:49] are you able to hear us now?

[15:49] Yes.

[15:55] Ok, I'm on so sorry about that

[15:56] .

[15:56] >> No words.

[15:57] So I appreciate you taking

[15:58] these measurements and

[16:00] providing context and obviously

[16:00] you know there's nothing in

[16:04] here that is ideal and I think

[16:04] the reason for the questions

[16:07] and concern is just adding

[16:10] another another suboptimal

[16:11] entry point condition to an

[16:14] already constrained street and

[16:16] so, you know, the precedent is

[16:19] still context that we're not

[16:20] necessarily making the overall

[16:23] travel more narrow.

[16:24] It just it's a reason for

[16:24] concern to add anything else

[16:27] frankly at this point to the

[16:28] screen.

[16:31] But I even said appreciate that

[16:32] the reasoning behind this and

[16:35] getting clarity on whether we

[16:38] can eliminate, you know, one

[16:40] existing polls would be one or

[16:43] both of existing polls out

[16:44] of the poll right on the corner

[16:46] has to come out first

[16:46] encroachment reasons.

[16:47] But you know, in any case I

[16:50] think understanding your move

[16:51] to making sure that we are that

[16:54] you are working with other

[16:57] tenants on the poll to to get

[16:58] over in terms of the guy's

[17:02] situation.

[17:03] And so there's all that extends

[17:06] perpendicular off the

[17:07] sparkplugs and perpendicular

[17:09] off the you're installing and

[17:10] sort of crosses over the

[17:14] sidewalk zone and then a guy

[17:14] wire drops down.

[17:18] Do you know what that ball is

[17:19] mount the support pole is

[17:19] mounted off of the wooden all

[17:31] the air sawing no that are

[17:31] we're having a hard time

[17:42] hearing, you know, I'm not sure

[17:43] you know now I can hear you can

[17:46] I can you hear me on this one?

[17:46] Yeah.

[17:50] Apparently not.

[17:51] Now we can hear you we can hear

[17:53] you over there.

[18:01] Ok, I'm so you're very fair.

[18:02] I think we can hear you through

[18:03] Katie's computer through yours.

[18:04] >> All right.

[18:19] No to fade oh oh oh can you

[18:19] hear me?

[18:22] Yes we can hear.

[18:23] Here's my computer which

[18:27] started to turn my speaker off.

[18:30] Ok, so sorry am I clear now?

[18:34] Yes I can hear you.

[18:41] Yes we can hear you this says

[18:42] can you hear me?

[18:45] Yeah we can hear you ok let me

[18:49] just be ok so I'm sorry I was

[18:53] just so close to the wires I

[18:54] believe on the side of the

[18:54] street like that across the

[19:00] street we want height and then

[19:01] along the sidewalk I think it's

[19:04] extremely so that metal bar the

[19:08] door why would be attached to

[19:09] could be right up around that

[19:12] 64 eye on the ball even if it's

[19:16] a little lower even if we go in

[19:19] telecom space it's still going

[19:20] to be like well above you know,

[19:24] anybody's headspace or any kind

[19:27] of sidewalk vehicle type thing

[19:31] if I die, ok, so there'll be a

[19:32] bar extending perpendicular

[19:35] from the pole with a wire drop

[19:38] them down but basically the

[19:39] height of the pole of the bars

[19:42] but roughly 16 feet above the

[19:43] sidewalk I believe so they're

[19:56] usually 12 to 16 got to ok,

[19:57] commissioners, other questions

[20:00] comments.

[20:01] Yeah I think our street lights

[20:04] are spread out here on and so

[20:05] when you put a pole up you're

[20:08] going to come up into our

[20:11] aerial view of street lights

[20:14] running along that sidewalk.

[20:18] I saw the concrete poles.

[20:19] I didn't see any area wires on

[20:20] that side of the road.

[20:25] I mean there in your picture

[20:26] but the walls yeah.

[20:29] And they're they're like daisy

[20:32] chain along the top right.

[20:33] Our street lights are because

[20:37] we clearly probably have some

[20:37] sort of severed subsurface

[20:38] connection.

[20:41] I'm so currently I believe

[20:42] they're being fed overhead.

[20:45] I see your poles going to kind

[20:46] of come up in the middle

[20:48] of that Golos Google Maps again

[20:50] because I don't remember seeing

[20:54] the area like that.

[20:55] I was looking at your photo

[20:58] with an x on where you're going

[21:05] to place the out there Mr Guy.

[21:06] It's just connecting our to

[21:10] street lights ok.

[21:13] Yeah Amy is right.

[21:14] They just focus on the most

[21:17] recent imagery from MARCH

[21:18] of this year and there is an

[21:19] overhead street light feud

[21:39] between two peoples overspender

[21:44] at the corner of event quite

[21:44] well.

[21:45] Quite a possible way.

[21:47] Yeah.

[21:50] And so I for would be a

[21:51] priority for the at the corner

[21:55] tonight that's got like all the

[21:58] service to the whole

[21:59] neighborhoods and other

[21:59] streets.

[22:05] It's that whole Yeah.

[22:06] For ten that's the one in

[22:10] question I could come out the

[22:11] other one at the corner has to

[22:16] stay of is there any way to

[22:21] stop.

[22:22] So I'm sorry I thought before I

[22:27] the coming out with the no no

[22:32] you think problematic we're

[22:36] pushing the water forward we're

[22:37] not I suppose around that

[22:44] corner I'm sorry that I didn't

[22:49] I'm that concerned about on the

[22:50] battering ram there it is not

[22:54] nearly impossible but what if

[22:57] you're already so on that's

[22:58] been there for a very long time

[23:01] like I said that feeds the

[23:01] whole other into how it goes

[23:02] down.

[23:08] Spencer, we have no plans for

[23:08] us.

[23:12] I'm confused then why we're

[23:13] adding another call on the

[23:13] other side of the street.

[23:16] One is the encroachment we're

[23:16] solving a stockholder's

[23:19] intended to stay there with all

[23:20] of the attachments currently on

[23:20] it.

[23:24] Why are we putting another

[23:24] right now on the opposite side

[23:28] of the street right now we're

[23:29] building a building here they

[23:31] are coming right up to the

[23:32] property line guidelines.

[23:35] Are we building right now our

[23:39] lines up Spencer they go down

[23:40] hard right here and then they

[23:43] Crossharbour we have to get

[23:46] this out of here.

[23:47] So I type this and bringing

[23:50] them across here and over we

[23:57] eliminate this right here are

[23:58] diagonally from the pole across

[23:59] the street.

[24:02] So they're there moving in the

[24:02] direction away from the

[24:05] property line.

[24:07] The wires right here they're

[24:12] going to go this way and down

[24:16] right now here and say the

[24:17] crossing over the block, the

[24:20] crossing of the area wires is

[24:20] currently diagonal and with

[24:24] this pole in the removal of the

[24:27] intermediate pole along Halvard

[24:28] Street that crossing will be

[24:32] directional.

[24:32] It'll be straight across

[24:35] Harbord at Spencer Street.

[24:36] No, I understand that it's a

[24:39] bit I guess I'm just trying to

[24:43] understand how the diagonal

[24:44] crossing is impinging on the

[24:44] right of way but the pole

[24:47] itself is not.

[24:48] Is that what you're saying?

[24:49] It's just like the very tip

[24:51] of the corner the diagonal cuts

[24:52] across.

[24:55] Yeah.

[24:56] So before you get to the

[24:59] diagonal so is pull the spine.

[25:00] These wires come next to the

[25:02] building down the street here.

[25:06] We need to move that these go

[25:07] to this pole here then they

[25:10] cross the road.

[25:11] We're going to cross the road

[25:16] here and go down this way.

[25:17] >> Yeah.

[25:18] No I understand what you're

[25:18] talking about doing.

[25:21] I I'm just a little perplexed

[25:25] is that the hole itself in the

[25:25] wires coming into that hole

[25:28] from Spencer Street do not

[25:29] encroach but the wires sort

[25:32] goldwing diagonally off that

[25:33] hole it sounds like where the

[25:36] encroachment issue is but the

[25:40] from the resources perspective

[25:41] the pole in the wires coming to

[25:44] it ah it's a serious concern

[25:48] for the ok got it.

[25:48] Got it.

[25:50] So if this is a development

[25:51] parcel and we're putting

[25:52] housing here there's going to

[25:55] be an obligation for an

[25:56] accessible sidewalk around the

[25:59] entirety of this range.

[26:00] So presumably this project will

[26:03] either then be tasked with

[26:04] having to relocate people that

[26:07] were more as a part of the

[26:08] project or they would have to

[26:11] grant land right on the side

[26:15] of the property to make an

[26:15] accessible part.

[26:18] So I think that if this corner

[26:19] is going to become a housing

[26:22] project where people will live

[26:23] ,we are going to have to

[26:24] figure out how we get an

[26:29] accessible sidewalk around the

[26:30] Arabo that would actually be an

[26:33] entirely different corner

[26:34] different line for us right now

[26:38] we don't have any of that.

[26:39] Yeah, no, I'm just saying that

[26:42] this is all in service

[26:42] of getting the encroachment off

[26:43] of this right.

[26:46] But by developing this we're

[26:47] going to have to potentially

[26:49] move that along on the corner

[26:50] were impacted in some way that

[26:51] we should probably figure that

[26:53] all out before we start adding

[27:00] falls about street.

[27:05] >> I mean given that the only

[27:05] suggestion I would have is can

[27:08] we continue this to another

[27:09] date and we can at least tell

[27:12] our engineer how discussions

[27:12] with the city and think about

[27:16] what we want to do overall.

[27:17] Yeah, I think that would be a

[27:20] good course of action for you

[27:23] know, just we're dealing with a

[27:24] circumstance we're dealing with

[27:27] the infrastructure that's

[27:27] already creating problematic

[27:31] accessibility conditions that

[27:32] MAY need to be resolved in the

[27:35] short term and if there's an

[27:36] opportunity to both address the

[27:39] existing accessible the issues

[27:40] as well as the utility

[27:42] encroachment issues together

[27:43] that seems like a better use

[27:44] of everybody's time and

[27:47] financial resources then adding

[27:48] yet another obstruction on the

[27:51] sidewalk while still failing to

[27:52] address the existing conditions

[27:55] so I think we're happy to

[27:55] continue this and allow some

[27:59] time for sorting through the

[27:59] options here.

[27:59] All right.

[28:06] Todd, our next hearing is

[28:07] what's needed to live thirty

[28:07] first.

[28:10] All right.

[28:11] Two weeks enough for a jury to

[28:22] go to the one after that you

[28:23] want to I'm sorry I took it

[28:23] first.

[28:25] >> Was that a question for yes.

[28:26] I took my thirty first.

[28:29] Did you person that's in two

[28:29] weeks.

[28:32] >> Yeah we'll take that if

[28:33] we're not ready in two weeks

[28:34] we'll let you know ahead.

[28:36] Just continue it again all

[28:37] right.

[28:38] That sounds great to continue

[28:41] to follow hearing number one

[28:41] I'll make a motion to continue

[28:44] utility pole No.

[28:45] One until JULY thirty first

[28:51] second all in favor ay ay ay

[28:55] opposer I've seen so move all

[28:56] on onto utility pole here in

[28:57] number two and a petition by

[28:59] our energy for utility pole

[29:00] installation to install one new

[29:04] Guidewire attachment to an

[29:04] existing private utility pole

[29:07] within Union St. Charles town

[29:08] to be located on itself

[29:09] peacefully side at the side

[29:11] of 116 Main Street generally

[29:11] shown generally south west

[29:15] of Main Street is reintroduce

[29:15] themselves, their affiliations

[29:19] and let us know what you're

[29:20] proposing to do here.

[29:20] Hi, good morning.

[29:22] It's key priority over Source

[29:25] Electric.

[29:26] We are asking to install the

[29:30] hip guy to this existing pole

[29:34] here and it's necessary just to

[29:34] help provide additional support

[29:37] to that existing home.

[29:42] You have some pictures.

[29:45] There's a pole I I be

[29:45] approximately Gorry.

[29:51] >> Yeah.

[30:05] Plan.

[30:06] All right.

[30:07] Thanks very much Commissioners'

[30:18] questions during none of this

[30:25] stuff or the public I will

[30:25] actually take this opportunity

[30:26] to remind the public if you

[30:27] wish to ask questions around

[30:28] testimony, please use the

[30:29] raised hand function at the

[30:32] bottom of your screen.

[30:33] The only question I have for a

[30:36] resource now is just like you

[30:37] to confirm that this guy wyo

[30:40] will not be crossing the

[30:41] pedestrian path of travel and

[30:44] will land parallel to the curb

[30:47] line is that that's my

[30:48] understanding.

[30:48] Is that correct?

[30:51] Correct.

[30:51] Great.

[30:55] It's all I have.

[30:56] >> How are you doing?

[30:57] Your emotions are periods

[31:00] utility pole here number two I

[31:02] mean a motion to certain energy

[31:03] for utility pole installation

[31:04] and Union Street has been by

[31:07] the traffic back and all in

[31:07] favor.

[31:14] I I I only oppose erm same so

[31:15] moved on to utility pole here

[31:17] number three petition by

[31:18] Overservice Energy for utility

[31:19] pole installation to install

[31:22] one new guidewire attaching to

[31:22] an existing private utility

[31:23] pole within London St. Charles

[31:26] time to be located on its

[31:26] southeasterly side generally

[31:28] northeast of Correas Street the

[31:29] proponents space reintroduce

[31:30] themselves, their affiliations

[31:33] and office through what you are

[31:34] proposing to do the morning.

[31:36] It's Katie Flaherty from Ever

[31:37] Source Electric again we are

[31:40] asking permission to install

[31:41] this hip guy to add additional

[31:45] support to this poll on Molton

[31:45] Street.

[31:46] Well, it was right here.

[31:52] It would go right here because

[32:06] it's all co plan on missioners

[32:11] questions, comments warm

[32:14] welcome to doing from fiber

[32:21] repair and back with that.

[32:23] So is the confirmation that the

[32:25] installation of the support

[32:29] that so well repair damage with

[32:32] this panel?

[32:36] Yeah, typically we restore it

[32:37] to substantially the conditions

[32:43] and prior to if the increase

[32:47] along with the other panel this

[32:48] I can jump it actually this

[32:51] location is within the limits

[32:52] of work for the Bunker Hill

[32:56] housing project and that

[32:59] project is planning on doing a

[32:59] bunch of sidewalk resurfacing

[33:03] and in this area our source is

[33:03] coordinated to my understanding

[33:04] with that project so they're

[33:06] not going to be in each other's

[33:07] way.

[33:07] But I think those sidewalk

[33:10] repairs will be done by the

[33:10] project.

[33:14] People here did the Caroline

[33:18] stay there?

[33:18] Yeah, colourblind state is

[33:19] remaining where it is on this

[33:20] side of the street.

[33:22] Some change changes on the

[33:23] other side are happening but

[33:33] not here already mysteries

[33:40] other questions, comments, just

[33:41] stuff.

[33:44] And this is Mitchell just

[33:44] hoping to get the same

[33:45] confirmation that the guidewire

[33:48] will not cross the path travel

[33:49] and will fall in parallel to

[33:55] the that's correct.

[33:56] So promotion to the utility for

[33:59] hearing me I'll make a motion

[34:00] to approve a petition by Air

[34:03] Force Energy for you Tels

[34:03] Station in the street has

[34:06] vendor manager backing all in

[34:10] favor I I believe it doesn't

[34:14] stand so so mu.

[34:15] All right thank you very much.

[34:18] Same time for a couple of weeks

[34:18] for the first one.

[34:21] >> Thank you.

[35:16] introduction to the project and

[35:17] let us know about any updates

[35:20] since your new business here in

[35:20] my chair and members of the

[35:24] commission my is Housley the

[35:32] proposed reconstruction

[35:33] of Baxendale High and

[35:33] cross-industry.

[35:36] This is a project came before

[35:36] this commission and was

[35:37] approved in twenty twenty three

[35:40] and this year we are coming

[35:43] back to work by some modest

[35:44] modifications to raise to

[35:45] previously proposed crosswalks

[35:48] that were previously proposed

[35:48] to be standard ramps.

[35:52] One the street one across

[35:55] across the street there was

[35:55] ancillary work that needed to

[35:56] take place in order to make

[35:57] these changes.

[35:59] We're here we're Deunan from

[36:00] Kittleson Associates who can

[36:00] walk through some of the plan

[36:03] details and changes that were

[37:07] into the existing line instead

[37:15] of a manhole within that street

[37:15] .

[37:16] There are no other changes to

[37:19] the plan since new business but
