Michelle Alien, 11039 Shiloh Court, stated she wanted to express her concern about a green cable box left in her front yard by Charter Communications. She stated the previous box was level with the ground and now it is not. She also had pictures for the Council to see. She stated they have offered to put plants around the box, but stated she did not want that. She felt this should be level with the ground and felt she should have been contacted and offered options for this situation. She asked what recourse she has and felt she has no rights. Councilmember Biane stated he is on the Council Cable Subcommittee and approved this type of box. He stated when he met with Charter they said they would make things right. He stated he hopes this can be looked at immediately. He stated the purpose of the new cable installation is to provide better services to the residents. Pamela Easter, Deputy City Manager, stated there are some residents expressing concerns about these types of pedestals and that if they are brought to the staff's attention they will work to try to take care of them. C3. William Cook, 10205 B Chaparral Village, felt the ugly boxes should not be there. He stated there was a contract that the Cable Company submitted to his Homeowners Association about this that they did not approve. C4. Brynda Fryan, 7055 Isle Court, Bellmont Equestrian Estates, talked about the trails in her area. She stated she has been cited two times because of the fences that are blocking the trails. She stated she would like to be able to discuss this with the Council to see if they can keep the fences up. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated the issue is the type of gating, not necessarily the gating. He added you can gate a local trail access, but there is a standard to the gating. Ms. Fryan felt that this is a private trail area and they have the right to do what they are doing. Mayor Alexander stated he would like staff to take a look at this in a common sense approach. If it needs to come back to the Council after the investigation, it should be brought back them. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated staff would look at this first and that then it could possibly go to the Trails Committee. D. CONSENT CALENDAR D1.
