Re: Underground Utility Waiver -File No: PLN2008-143 - 969 N. Central Avenue
Dear Applicant:
Please be advised that the Community Development Director has reviewed your request to
permit overhead utility services in conjunction with the residential addition 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 located in the rear yard where existing services to surrounding
properties will remain;
2. Due to the established character of the neighborhood, it is not likely that other utility
services will be relocated underground in this neighborhood; and
3. The estimated cost of $3,000 to $4,000 for underground versus the $1,900 cost for the
relocation of the existing service is excessive in light of the visual benefit of eliminating
one overhead power line.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (408)
866-2144 or via email at timh(a~cityofcampbell.com.
