RE: Aerial Variance Request for JT#220560
To whom it might concern,
SEFNCO Communications has been contracted to design and engineer this project on behalf of
COMCAST. COMCAST is applying for a variance request in order to bring services to new housing
development.
COMCAST purposes to over -lash approximately 150' of aerial COAX cable over Monterey Place NE to
provide service to Monterey Meadows housing development.
COMCAST is requesting that the City of Renton approve this variance request based on the fact that it
would be more cost efficient to use the existing aerial span to bring services to Monterey Meadows than
to bore/drill the 150' complete the plant expansion. This will also prevent any pot holing to the road or
any restoration needed to be done. Over -lashing will not cause substantial adverse impact to other
persons or entities in the immediate area. Over -lashing the cable can be accomplished in less than a day
where as boring would take up to two days and impact traffic more.
The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare because COMCAST
does agree to underground the cable system, but they are waiving the obligation into the future when
all other utilities are underground to prevent an undue hardship against COMCAST currently.
Upon the granting of the variance, COMCAST will coordinate construction and traffic control as per your
requirements. COMCAST and their contractors want to cooperate at the highest level and agree to
adhere to all provisions and requirements set forth by the City of Renton to insure safe installation and
maintenance of the proposed facilities.
If you have any further questions regarding this project please contact me at (253)405-6263 or Charles
Schroeder at (253)569-8911
Thank you for your consideration in this manner.
