Title
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A UTILITY EASEMENT ON CITY PROPERTY LOCATED ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF BUCKLEY ROAD BETWEEN E. 96TH AVENUE AND E. 88TH AVENUE TO UNITED POWER, INC. TO ACCOMMODATE AN UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION LINE
Body
Summary & Background
This resolution grants a 10-feet wide utility easement to United Power to install a new underground electrical distribution line along the east side of the abandoned Buckley Road between E. 96th Avenue and E. 88th Avenue located on City property (see Project Map). The proposed easement will not be in conflict with future City facilities or infrastructure.
United Power’s standard practice for new installations, rebuilds, and conversions has become to pursue easements from private property owners. The purpose of the project is to convert the existing overhead electric line (which is outdated infrastructure) located on the west side of Buckley Road to an underground line. The conversion to underground will provide a new electric line that meets industry standards and enhances safety/aesthetics. Additionally, the new underground electric line and connection points will create a more reliable and secure electrical system for providing services in this area, which is experiencing high growth.
