MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 14, 1998 <br />OVERHEAD The Public Works Director reported that electrical service to 551 Allen <br />ELECTRICAL Avenue currently runs from a pole at the northwest corner of the lot <br />SERVICE - located at 549 Allen Avenue. The overhead wire crosses 549 Allen. <br />551 ALL~N A new house is being constructed at 549 Allen; therefore, it is necessary <br />AVENUE to relocate the electrical service for 551 Allen Avenue. City Code requires <br />that the service be replaced underground. However, the estimated cost to <br />do so would be between $1,000 and $1,500. NSP is askin~ the City to <br />waive the underground requirement based on this cost and is proposing to <br />construct a new power pole at the southern end of the joint property line <br />shared by these two lots. <br />Morelan asked if it would be possible to eliminate the pole at the <br />northwest corner of 549 Allen Avenue. The Public Works Director stated <br />that he would discuss this possibility with NSP. <br />Council reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission for <br />approval of the overhead service. The discussion of the effect this action <br />would have when the property to the north develops was discussed, and it <br />was noted that underground service would be required in any new <br />subdivision. This particular situation is one in which there are already <br />many overhead services in existence. 551 Allen currently has overhead <br />service, and needs to change the source of the service given the house <br />construction on the adjacent lot. <br />Morelan noted that the Code allows a waiver from the requirement of <br />overhead service when the cost is impractical as is the case in this request. <br />Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RE,SOI,UTIONNO. 98-1-9 -APPROVING THE INSTALLATION OF <br />OvERHEAD ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO SSI ALLENAVENUE <br />CIVEN THE FACT THAT THE CO.ST OF IN,STAI.LING <br />UNDERGROUND SERVICE WOUI.I) 73E IMPRACTICA7 AND <br />SUI3JECT TO REMOVAL OF THE POWER POLE AT THE <br />NORTHWEST CORNER OF 549 AI,LENAVENUE IF THAT IS <br />FEAS7137.E <br />The fore~oin~ resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. <br />Ayes (4) Morelan, Scalze, Fahey, Pedersen. <br />Nays (0).
