Underground Utility Waiver
File No.: PLN2002-00149
105 Victor Avenue
Dear Mr. Wakefield:
Please be advised that the Community Development Director, with the concurrence of the
City Engineer, has reviewed your request to permit overhead services in conjunction with the
remodel of your residence on the above-referenced property in lieu of the requirement to
underground the utilities.
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 additional cost of having to underground the utility lines.
If you should have any questions regarding this determination, please do not hesitate to
contact the undersigned at (408) 866-2143 or via email at stephaniew@cityofcampbell.com.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Willsey

To Whom It May Concem:
I am requested for an electrical waiver underground utility. My house is offset, opposed
and across the traffic road to the PG&E utility pole. It is did not make any sense and cost
effective for me if my electrical connect is going underground.
ao
It is not cost effective the cost for doing it. Based on PG&E and other electrical
contractor, the cost for doing this underground task is almost 17,000.00 dollars, if
I trench the electrical line. If PG&E is doing all the work then the cost will be
higher than 17,000.00 dollars.
PG&E has advised me to keep the existing overhang electrical utility than to go
underground.
b. This task will affect the every day traffic on this street for at least one week or
more.
Co
The neighbors will not happy with the change. Why is only one house to have the
electrical utility to go underground? It is not compatible with existing use in this
area.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Best Regards,
Joe Wakefield
