Response to Comment #4
Re: Request for Zoning Relief from Underground Electrical Utility Requirement
Dear City of El Mirage,
In response to Comment #4 of the plan review memorandum, we respectfully request zoning relief
from the requirement that APS electrical utilities for the proposed development be placed
underground.
The estimated cost to comply with the underground electrical service requirement includes APS
undergrounding costs of $60,000, developer-installed conduit and related construction costs of
$46,000, and additional site supervision and project management costs of $16,000, for a total
estimated impact of $122,000.
We are including the quotes from the Dry utility contractor and APS herein as attachments
for your review and consideration for our request.
Unfortunately, this additional expense creates a significant financial burden on the project and materially
impacts its economic feasibility. The added cost may ultimately prevent the development from moving
forward.
Our goal is to continue investing in the City of El Mirage and provide much-needed new housing
opportunities for the community. However, the cost associated with undergrounding the electrical
service is disproportionate to the project and presents a substantial obstacle to development.
We respectfully request that the City consider granting zoning relief to allow the electrical service to
remain overhead, consistent with the existing homes and electrical infrastructure in the surrounding
area. Allowing overhead service would substantially reduce development costs while maintaining
consistency with the character and utility infrastructure of the neighborhood.
We remain committed to working collaboratively with City staff and APS to identify a practical solution
that satisfies applicable safety and operational requirements while preserving the financial viability of the
project.
For these reasons, we respectfully ask the City to approve zoning relief from the underground electrical
utility requirement and permit overhead electrical service for this development.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We appreciate the City's review of this request and look
forward to working together toward a solution that allows this housing project to move forward.
Sincerely,

VV Properties, LLC

Good afternoon, Angel,
I just finished putting together the estimate for this project. I want to note that this is a
rough estimate and the final cost may change as the project progresses and additional
details are identified.
I have estimated the cost to convert the existing overhead utilities to underground at
approximately $60,000.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss the estimate in more
detail.
