Ihave some potentially serious concerns about the proposed Shield St Laarea where
noscapzng S.I.D. The portion along Shields is in an s ^

must be taken in this area to avoid damage to our facilities
could be quite expensive, �es, as repairs
Now for the bad news. The installation of landscaping along otherwise
undeveloped roads (Stuart & Hobbit Sts.) creates a significant d iari
from established installation sequence procedures In the past e« on
S.I.D.s, Light and Power has installed street crossings, at Utility
expense, in an attempt to avoid future cutting of asphalt when actual
^'^
development takes place (we have not charged the S I D ^ l+ the cr
ing(s) installed later turn out to be inadequate,^ ^ oss-
loca-
tion, the developer would be responsible for or at the wrong the necessary facilities. Since a "landscaping costs to provide

Fort Collins Light and Power's system has been designed to provide an
aesthetically pleasing, reliable electric system at a reasonable costThis type of S.I.D. has the potential of forcing future system modz+i^

this reason, I believe that landscaping S I D s should be di ^
