RE: Aerial Variance Request for 0000400888
To whom it may concern:
Cannon Construction has been contracted to design and engineer this project on behalf of
Comcast Cable Communications Management. Comcast is applying for a variance request in
order to upgrade their existing facilities.
Comcast proposes to perform maintenance on a bad span. Delash and relash up new .65 spans
from 20x4 to split, and from split to EOL 8x4. Splice in on both ends of both spans. Replace EOL
8x4 with 11x8 tap. Both old spans have excessive loss.
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 on existing plant 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. Risk of 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.
Comcast does agree to participate in future underground improvements for its
proportionate share of the undergrounding costs, waiving the obligation into the future
when all other utilities are undergrounded to prevent an undue hardship against
Comcast currently.
MFP20004475
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 Rhonda Resnik.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

SUBJECT: Request for Undergrounding Exemption (JB#400888, MFP20004475, 2807 NE 21st St)
Dear Ms. Resnik:
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 Cannon Construction, Inc. overlash approximately 418 lineal feet of new 0.625
Coax to existing Puget Sound Energy (PSE) poles beginning at the pole located to the east of property 2037
Harrington Pl NE. Overlashing crosses over Harrington Pl NE and continues east along the south side of NE
21st St for 418 lineal feet before ending at the pole to the northeast of property 2825 NE 21st St
ANALYSIS: The City has considered the request for an exemption from RMC 4-6-090. 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 there are other
similar providers overhead as well.
