Northern States Power Company <br />1700 E County Road E <br />White Bear Lake, MN 55110 <br />December 9, 1997 <br />City Manager <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />Dear Joel <br />I'm writing this letter to request an exception to the underground ordinance on the basis <br />of impractical costs to be borne by the resident at 551 Alien Ave. NSP has a project at <br />549 Allen Ave in which I have to reroute an overhead electric service to 551 Alien Ave. <br />The existing overhead service crosses a parcel that was subdivided from the lot at 551 <br />Allen Ave. In maintaining the service to 551 Alien Ave., NSP will be required to set a <br />pole in the boulevard. The new lot at 549 Alien Ave. could be served underground from <br />the existing overhead facilities. To serve the residence at 551 Allen Ave. with <br />underground service will require them to have an electrician change out the existing <br />meter box to an underground , pay overhead to underground service conversion costs <br />of $575.00 plus $2.00 per trench foot for service installation and be placed on the <br />underground service rate of $2.00 per month. All of these costs would be borne by the <br />resident at 551 Allen Ave. <br />Under these circumstances NSP is obligated to maintain electric service in the manner <br />by which the customer is receiving it. The homeowner in this case is potentially <br />obligated to spend several hundred dollars due to City ordinance. It is by these <br />circumstances NSP requests an exception to the City's underground ordinance. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 779 -3113. <br />Sincerely, <br />M E Anderson <br />Customer Service Design Specialist <br />Page 46 <br />
