Action Item: Surprise Auto Network LLC §152.030 Relief Request

Request
 
§ 152.030 GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(A) The developer shall place underground all existing overhead utility lines, including 
but not limited to telephone, cable television, and electric power, except electrical lines 
exceeding 13 kV capacity, either within a proposed development or redevelopment 
project or within public rights-of-way or easements adjacent to the project, prior to 
issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Pursuant to § 152.030(E), relief from the undergrounding requirement may be 
considered by the City Council under specific circumstances. The subject request is based 
on the following considerations:
• The project involves a limited utility frontage of approximately 106 feet, which 
is relatively small in scale and does not justify full undergrounding at this time.
• Undergrounding the existing overhead utilities would result in an unusual 
economic hardship, as the cost is disproportionate to the size and scope of the 
proposed development.
• The site represents an infill/minor modification to an already developed area, 
where adjacent properties on both sides remain served by overhead utilities.
