A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
PROTESTING THE REQUIREMENT BY THE POSTMASTER GENERAL
OF RURAL -TYPE MAILBOXES FOR CURB DELIVERY IN ALL NEW
SUBDIVISIONS
WHEREAS, great care has been taken in the Master Planning of the City
of Cypress to create beautiful streets, free of unnecessary obstructions, and
WHEREAS, additional expense has been incurred by homeowners, developers,
and the City in order to bring about innovations of design for beautification
of public property, and
WHEREAS, the new requirements by the Postmaster General for rural -type
mailboxes in all new subdivisions would cause installation of unsightly,
upright mailboxes at intervals of approximately every 60' along residential
streets, and
WHEREAS, after due study and consideration, the City Council of the
City of Cypress also finds as follows:
1. Beautification efforts currently underway to eliminate
unsightly utility poles, signs, et al will be hampered
by these unnecessary additions to the "street scene".
2. Current trend toward contingency of sidewalk with curb
will cause conflict of mailboxes with parking of vehicles,
opening and closing of automobile doors, etc.
3. Placement of mailboxes adjacent to curbs will obstruct
pedestrian traffic using the sidewalks.
4. Street delivery boxes will not afford adequate security
and protection for mail.
5. The street rights-of-way are the property of the local
agencies; i.e. Cities, Counties, therefore, this regula-
tion is a direct infringement on the use of said
property by the owner -agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Cypress that request is hereby made to the Post Office Department,
President and Mrs. Johnson, Senators and Congressmen of California,
for appropriate action to rescind the aforementioned Directives issued
by the Postmaster General regarding requirements for curb delivery of
mail in new subdivisions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress, at a
regular meeting held on the 11th day of April, 1966.
