King Street: relocate pole 48/17 to the northerly side of the street approximately 12 1/2' easterly of the Morgan Park centerline. Mr. Anthony DiPietro of 7 King Street protested the location of the pole directly in front of his picture window, and stated his house was a very low profile and the pole would probably also cause the tree adjacent to the pole to die. He also protested his privacy would be violated by the street light. Paul Hurley of 4 Morgan Park granted an easement for curb setting and also supported Mr. DiPietro as did Mr. McWilliams on the other side. Both suggested the pole: A. Be moved back from its present location B. That the curbing be pulled up and restructured to allow the pole to remain where it was. Mr. Polychrones asked if the Department couldn't do one or both of the above. i Board of Public Works Meeting of November 13, 1984 Page 2 Mr. Redford advised the group that RMLD could not run wires over private property.
