Re: Underground Utility Waiver -File No: PLN2008-67 -103 Hardy Avenue
Dear Applicant:
Please be advised that the Community Development Director has reviewed your request to
permit overhead utility services in conjunction with 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 located across the street from the residence.
2. Due to the established character of the neighborhood and the location of utilities across
the right-of-way, it is not likely that other utility services will be relocated underground in
this neighborhood, and
3. The estimated cost of $30,000 to $35,000 to underground versus $3,000 for the
relocation of 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.
Sincerely,
Tim Haley
Associate Planner
