SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR A WAIVER OF OVERHEAD UTILITY CONVERSION TO UNDERGROUND
Tract 6091, 2090 North Cornelia Avenue
APN: 312-081-12
Mr. Giannetta,
This letter is in response to your request to waive the requirement of the Conditions of Approval for
T-6091 to underground the existing overhead utilities located along the project's Cornelia Avenue
frontage in Fresno, California.
Your request to waive the undergrounding of these existing overhead electrical utilities is hereby
granted, as the city's municipal code recognizes the cost and difficulty in converting transmission lines
in excess of 21kV, nominal. Additionally, the undergrounding will not make a substantial contribution to
the complete undergrounding of the immediate area.
Please note: this waiver does not permit new services to be installed overhead nor does it allow the
installation of any new poles, either within the City of Fresno right-of-way, or on private property. New
service connections, transformers and related equipment shall be installed below grade per current
PG&E standards. Please feel free to call Scott Sehm at(559) 621-8712 should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Andrew J. Bene i, P.E.

Re: TRACT 6091
Dear Mr. Benelli
This letter is a request to waive the requirement to underground "all existing offsite overhead
utilities" as per General Condition 3 in Public Works July 29, 2015 memorandum referred to in
conditional 28 of the Conditions of Approval.
The waiver is being requested for the P.G.&E electrical distribution lines only. The project has only
316 feet of Cornelia Avenue street frontage with transmission line poles to the north and south.
Almost all of the distributions lines are underbuilds on the transmissions line poles. The
transmission lines are at or over the 70 kv, which makes them exempt from the City's
undergrounding requirement.
Undergrounding the distribution lines will not eliminate the overhead electrical lines and will make
the project to costly to build.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Gary Giannetta
Project Engineer
