Re: Underground Utility Waiver -File No: PLN2006-160 -1460 Westmont Avenue
Dear Mr. Wong:
Please be advised that the Community Development Director has reviewed your request to
permit overhead utility services in conjunction with the construction of a new residence on
the above-referenced property in lieu of the requirement to underground the utilities.
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 is across the street from the property;
2. The sign cant time delay of installing utilities underground relative to the project
schedule; and
3. The significant cost of installing utilities underground relative to the project cost.
4. Due to the established character of the neighbofiood, it is not likely that other utility
services will be underground in this neighbofiood.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (408)
866-2142 or via email at stevep (a~cityofcampbell.com.

Enclosed are two copies of the Grading and Drainage Plan for your review and
comment and a letter from KW Engineering, Inc. supporting our request to waive
underground utilities. To elaborate on the points made in the letter, please consider
the following:
1) Our next door neighbor to the west of us did an extensive remodeVnew
construction approved for overhead utility.
2) It would be disruptive and a shame to tear up the recent street improvements
made to Westmont Ave and very costly to restore. According to PGE, the
overhead utility connection will cost $3,000 - $4,000. Cost to go underground
will be north of $40K (joint utility - $38K, restore pavement - $8K + bond -
$12K).
The continued use of the utility overhead will be done in a manner that will protect
the aesthetics of the new frontage for the property and will conform nicely to
current conditions.
Please review our plan and call me if you have questions. My number is 408 354
4949.

RE: 1460 Westmont Ave.
Sir/Madam,
Enclosed are copies of Grading & Drainage Plan for review and comment.
The property is being served by utility overhead from a power pole cross the street, as shown on
the plan submitted. It is my opinion that we should maintain the existing condition for a new
home. Changing the overhead to underground will have to cut the street pavement and interrupt
the traffic. In addition the construction cost is too high. Therefore my client, Mr. Wong is willing
to continue the use of the utility overhead.
Please review the plan and call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kenny Wong, PE, PLS
