RE: Aerial Variance Request for JT#272790
To whom it may concern,
SEFNCO Communications has been contracted to design and engineer this project on behalf of Comcast
Cablevision. Comcast is applying for a variance request in order to upgrade their existing facilities.
Comcast proposes to overlash ~4048’ new 144ct fiber along Aberdeen Ave NE, NE 20th St and down
Jones Ave NE to approximately NE 26th Place.
Comcast is requesting that the City of Renton approve this variance request based on the fact that the
requirements for undergrounding this proposed over-lash will not cause substantial adverse impacts to
other person 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 over-lash 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. Over-lashing 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 any 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.

SUBJECT: Request for Undergrounding Exemption (JT#272790, MFP19001914, 1915 NE 27th Street)
Dear Mr. Shackett:
The City of Renton has reviewed your request to grant Comcast an exemption from Renton Municipal
Code (RMC) 4-6-090(C) which states that all new electrical or communication facilities shall be required
to be installed underground, pursuant to the standards of the section of RMC.
Comcast proposes to have SEFNCO Communications overlash approximately 4,050 lineal feet of new 144-
count aerial fiber to existing Puget Sound Energy (PSE) poles beginning at the existing pole on the south
side of 1824 Aberdeen Avenue NE, then extend north to NE 20th Street, west along the south side of NE
20th Street to west side of Jones Avenue NE, and will end approximately at 80 feet south of NE 28th Street.
ANALYSIS: The City has considered the request for an exemption from RMC 4-6-090(D)(1)(h) ii. Ordinance
5720 grants Comcast, the right to install fiber optic cable and related appurtenances under, along, over,
below, through and across the streets, avenues and alleys of City of Renton within the right-of-way of
Renton. Section 3.4 of the franchise ordinance states that if all of the distribution lines all the wireline
service providers, such as telecommunications service providers, as defined in RCW 35.99.010, a utility
service provider or a Cable Operator (collectively “Service Providers”) in any portion of the Franchise Area
are underground, Grantee shall place its Cable System’s distribution cables underground within that area;
provided that such underground locations are actually capable of accommodating Grantee’s cable and
other equipment without technical degradation of the Cable Systems’ signal quality.
The proposal would utilize existing poles with other attached franchisee communication facilities and
overlash to the existing Comcast aerial path. As minimum vertical height clearance of 15’-6” would need
to be provided for, any existing obsolete cable will need to be removed; staff recommends these as
conditions of approval. Therefore, the City is granting an exemption with conditions, per the Comcast
franchise agreement which allows new overhead facilities to be placed overhead provided at there are
other similar providers overhead as well.

DECISION: The requested exemption from underground utility installation requirements (RMC4-6-090 (C)
as requested by the applicant is approved with conditions subject to the conditions below as the request
complies with exemption criteria of RMC 4-6-090(D)(1)(h) ii, and the Comcast Franchise Agreement.
Conditions of Approval:
1. Any existing height violations within the Project Reach must be resolved at the time of
construction. New aerial lines within the Project Reach must have a minimum vertical
clearance of 15’-6”.
2. Any abandoned or unused lines within the Project Reach must be removed at the time that
construction is taking place.
3. A traffic control plan must be separately submitted to the City, and no construction may take
place until the City has approved a traffic control plan.
4. The new aerial fiber lines within the Project Reach must be converted to underground
facilities in the future, at Comcast’s cost, when any one of the following events occurs: (1) any
other utilities are undergrounded within the Project Reach, (2) a joint use trench is proposed
by a franchisee within the Project Reach, in which case Comcast shall participate in the joint
use trench installation for the purpose of undergrounding its aerial lines, or (3) a conduit is
made available within the Project Reach that will accommodate the aerial lines. The new
aerial lines must be undergrounded within one year, or approved otherwise by the City of
Renton Community and Economic Development Administrator or designee, from the first
event triggering the requirement to underground the aerial lines.
This decision to approve the exemption with conditions is subject to a fourteen (14) day appeal period
from the date of this letter per RMC 4-8-110. Any appeals of the administrative decision must be filed
with the City Clerk, along with the required appeal fee, by 5:00 pm, May 7, 2019.
