1992-25 RESOLUTION NO. 92-2.5.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE OPPOSING THE CENTRAL ALIGNMENT
ALTERNATIVE OF THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT
FEEDER PROJECT
WHEREAS, a proposal is currently being studied by the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California in a Draft Environmental Impact'Report; and
WHEREAS, the Draft Environmental Impact Report is soliciting input from
affected communities; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Central Alignment Alternative potentially affects over
90 primarily residential lots, and would affect 9 roadways; 5 of which are collector
roads, 3 local collector roads, and the City's only major commercial highway, Barton
Road. The project would also affect 2 out of 5 current open park space areas; and
.WHEREAS, in 1972 when the original pipeline was constructed, it caused
considerable damage, inconvenience and interruption to residents. Development, in
the subsequent 20 years, has created a highly urbanized area that will be severely
,- impacted by the Central Alignment Alternative; and
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace is subject to potential earthquake threats,
and, therefore, circumstances already exist for the potential' damage of the existing
pipeline. An additional major pipeline would pose an added threat to the residents of
Grand Terrace, the majority of whom live below the "central alignment" area; and
WHEREAS, the Draft Environmental Impact Report highlights a negative impact
of the Central Alternative as it passes through our City; and
WHEREAS, the Central Alternative is not the preferred alignment;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Grand
Terrace that the Draft Environmental Impact Report reflect our comments, provide
mitigation measures to such, and acknowledge that the City of Grand Terrace opposes
the Central Alignment Alternative and hereby implores the Metropolitan Water District
to adopt an alternative that provides the least negative impact on City residents and
the environment.
