Pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code section 21. 18.140 (Undergrounding of Utilities), this request has been granted for the following reasons: 1. The existing utility pole services adjacent properties as well as this property and it is not likely that the other services will be undergrounded; 2. The relocation of the utilities to the proposed location will reduce the length of the overhead service; 3. The significant time delay of installing utilities underground relative to the project schedule; and 4. The potential to damage the root system of the existing evergreen tree along the street frontage. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (408) 866-2144 or via email attimh@cityofcampbell.com. Sincerely, Tim 1.

This housing development was built in the 1950s. Most of the neighbors have remodeled or added on to their existing house. The likelihood that any neighbors would be placing their utilities underground is very remote. In order to place the utilities underground we will have to cut some of the root system of a very large evergreen tree; this may jeopardize its very life. Please consider this request for a waiver of under ground utilities: G gory Girardot Property Owner RECEI\fED JUN 1 5 2006 CITY OF CAMPBELL PLANNING DEPT.
