Comcast is applying for a variance request in order to upgrade their existing facilities. Comcast proposed to overlash approximately 486’ of aerial fiber along the right of way of back alley between S 3rd St and S 4th St. Please see maps and drawings for more details. Comcast is requesting that the City of Renton approve this variance request based on the fact that the requirements for undergrounding this proposed overlash will not cause substantial adverse impacts to other persons or entities in the immediate area and will cause undue hardship. 1. Installation of undergrounding facilities will increase the total cost of construction roughly 15-25 times the amount of an aerial overlash on the existing Comcast strand. 2. Potential damage to underground facilities will be increased. 3. Over lash will not cause substantial adverse impact to other persons or entities in the immediate area. Overlashing the cable will be accomplished in a few days, and the residents will not notice any impact. Comcast will clean up the over lashed spans as necessary and identify and remove and existing dead cables along this route. 4. The variance is necessary to prevent any undue hardship due to the increased construction costs if forced to install the proposed extension underground. 5. 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 Danny Cooley at (253)686-7592. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
