Dear Mr. Karimi:
Please be advised that the Community Development Director, with the concurrence of the City
Engineer, has reviewed your request to permit overhead utility services in conjunction with the
addition to your residence on the above-referenced property in lieu of the requirement to underground
the utilities.
Pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code Section 21.18.140, the request to underground utilities has
been granted due to the limited likelihood that other utility lines in the surrounding neighborhood will
be placed underground and the high cost of undergrounding the utilities as compared to overhead
installation.
If you should have any questions regarding this determination, please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned at (408) 866-2140
Sincerely,
111/LU- ~

Re: Waiver Of Underground Utilities
Residential Remodel At
1141 Peggy Ave Campbell Ca 95008
This leUer is to request a waiver of underground utilities at the above-
mentioned property.
After submiUing my application to PG&E to request underground power
and upon a field review by PG&E I was notified that due to the fact that
the power pole that would be the source that the power company would be
utilizing to provide my home with power is located on the neighbors
property in the rear and PG&E does not have the land rights to perform
such service. I was also informed to obtain such rights the would have to
go through their legal department and the process would be long and
costly (up to six months) also the owner of the neighboring property could
deny such permission.
After careful review of all the facts and also keeping in mind that the
overhead line will be installed in the far right rear of the property in a low
visibility location and also the fact that over ninety five percent of
immediate neighborhood in my track still has overhead services I feel that
the waiver will not have any negative impact.
In closing I would to thank you in advance for your prompt aUention to
this maUer and also to mention that it has been a pleaser to work with the
City Of Campbell on this project both at the office and the field staff.
Thank You
