TO: SAN BERNARDINO CITY COUNCIL
RE: REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT OF SUB-SURFACE
INSTALLATION OF S.C.E. TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION LINES ALONG
WITH VARIOUS COMMON POLE UTILITIES ALONG WATERMAN AVE. PROJECT
FRONTAGE.
WITH DUE REGARD FOR THE COUNCILS REASONING AND PURPOSE FOR
MANDATING SUB-SURFACE UTILITY PLACEMENT, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
A WAIVER OF THIS REQUIREMENT FOR THIS PROJECT ON THE FOLLOWING
GROUNDS.
1. IT IS THIS FIRMS UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
HAS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSIDERATION A STANDARD WHICH SETS
THE MAX. LINE SIZE AT 33KV FOR UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS.
2. COST: AFTER SPEAKING WITH MARIE SEVILLA, A RIGHT-OF-WAY
AGENT WITH S.C.E. SHE UNOFFICIALLY CONFIRMED THAT THIS
PROJECT WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF $200,000. MR KLEIN
(DEVELOPER/OWNER) HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE PROJECT COST
AS PROJECTED CURRENTLY, WILL BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF
l.3 MILLION DOLLARS. TO ENFORCE THIS STANDARD WOULD
INCREASE MR KLEINS TOTAL PROJECT COST A MINIMUM OF
15.4%.
3. AFTER DRIVING THE LENGTH OF WATERMAN AVE., WHICH
CONTAIN POWER LINES IDENTICAL TO OUR FRONTAGE
SITUATION, I CAN SEE NO EVIDENCE SUGGESTING ANY OF
SEVERAL NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALONG THE SUBJECT AREA HAVE
HAD THIS REQUIREMENT ENFORCED.
ENCLOSED PLEASE . FIND ATTACHED A SITE/GRADING PLAN AS SIGNED BY
THE SAN BERNARDINO CITY ENGINEERS OFFICE, PICTURES OF SITE
SHOWING EXISTING POLES LINES, & A LETTER FROM S.C.E. VERIFYING
66KV PO~ER LINES FOR SITE FRONTAGE.

Dear Mr. Skeith:
SUBJECT: Request for Order of Magnitude Costs
Waterman Avenue, N/o Norman Avenue
RP File No. 8702l2/630MS
This is to confirm our conversation this week regarding the
possibility of undergrounding the subject transmission lines
to accommodate your development with regard to the city's
requirements.
There are 66kV transmission lines along your development
(Waterman Avenue), in addition to the distribution facilities.
These two lines are identified as:
San Bernardino-Cardiff-Unimed 66kV T/L
San Bernardino-Del Rosa-Vista 66kV T/L
I have forwarded your request to the San Bernardino Customer
Service District Office, with your request for an Order of
Magnitude. Please contact Mr. Leonard Jacks, the Service
Planner, for assistance in this matter.
'. .
Very truly you~s~
