Please be advised that the Community Development Director has reviewed and approved your
request to permit overhead services in conjunction with the utility relocation on the existing
residence on the above,referenced property in lieu of the requirement to underground the
utihties.
Pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code section 20.36.150, this request has been granted as a
waiver of the requirement to underground utilities due to the limited likelihood that other
utility lines will be placed underground in your neighborhood and the excessive cost of having
to underground the utility lines.

Re: Request for Waiver
1512 Parsons Ave.
Permit # 2002 - 305
This is a follow up of our discussion with member of your staffand the Building
Department, on this date, that we follow our request in writing your verbal approval to
keep the existing overhead PG&E service.
Addis Construction Co. requests for waiver of installing underground power to the
residence referred above for the following reasons.
The residence is now being served with overhead PG&E service.
Remodeling of the residence is very minimum. Therefore, we are not upgrading
the PG&E line, nor are we setting new meter.
Most importantly, the cost of going underground xvould be so great because we
would have to dig across Parsons Ave. or Redding, and set new meter. This
would virtually halt the remodeling of the residence for good.
Your cooperation in approving our request of waiver to this matter would be greatly
appreciated.
