Re: Underground Utility Waiver -File No: PLN2008-94 - 330 Fairbanks Ave.
Dear Mr. Overstreet:
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. The estimated cost of $15,000 to underground versus $1,000 for the relocation of service is
excessive in light of the visual benefit of eliminating one overhead power line:
3. Due to the established character of the neighborhood, it is not likely that other utility services will
be relocated underground in this neighborhood.
Please note that this approval satisfies Item #2 for Planning Division clearance of your Building
Permit submittal (BLD2008-00535) for an addition and remodel to asingle-family home at the
above referenced address.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (408) 866-2193 or via
email at danielV ancityofcampbell.com.
