This letter is in response to an Aerial Variance request for explanation regarding CenturyLink permit
request to place fiber on job N.556168 to provide fiber to CenturyLink customer order.
This customer is currently being fed by an overhead copper service wire which comes from the existing
aerial copper cable attached to the current the pole line on 156th Ave SE. The most efficient and cost-
effective way to upgrade the customer to fiber is to place overhead fiber along the pole line, as
requested, and then from the pole, follow the copper service wire to the existing utility room. This costs
us approximately, $8,000. If we were to change the design to an underground path, this would cost us at
least $30-40,000. Plus, we would have to disturb the driveway to the customer, which is Fire station #16.
Extra work to never block the ability for the Response team to be delayed in any way would also drive
up the cost. Also, the aerial path allows for less ground disturbance, concrete disturbance, restoration,
and traffic impact. If this is acceptable to the City of Renton we will proceed as planned, otherwise we
will not be able to provide this service to the customer as requested.
Thank You,

SUBJECT: Request for Undergrounding Exemption (N.556168, MFP19003690, 12923 156th Ave SE)
Dear Mr. Stuart:
The City of Renton has reviewed your request to grant CenturyLink 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.
CenturyLink proposes to have North Sky Communications overlash approximately 427 lineal feet of new
24-count aerial fiber to existing Puget Sound Energy (PSE) power poles beginning on the west side of 156th
Ave, proceeding south to 12923 156th Ave SE.
ANALYSIS: The City has considered the request for an exemption from RMC 4-6-090(D)(1)(h) i and ii. City
of Renton Municipal Code 5-19-2.B.1 and 2 states that “Except as otherwise provided herein, any
telecommunications carriers who desire to construct, install, operate, maintain, or otherwise locate
telecommunications facilities in, under, over or across any public way of the City, and to also provide
telecommunications service to persons or areas in the City, shall first obtain a franchise granting the use
of such public ways from the City pursuant to Section 5-19-3 of this Chapter.”
CenturyLink does not have a franchise agreement with the City, as its predecessor-in-interest held a
blanket grant of authority, dating back to territorial times, and therefore has unique status as compared
to other telecommunications purveyors. Per Eric J. Schwalb, Senior Corporate Counsel for CenturyLink,
RCW Section 35.99.030 states that a city or town may not require a “master permit” from service
providers seeking access to public rights-of-way who have an existing statewide grant, as Century Link
has. Furthermore, the Washington State Constitution, Article XII, Section 19, grants the right to construct
and maintain lines of telegraph and telephone within this state. While we concur that VOIP is allowed per
the RCW and Washington State Constitution, cable service is not a right granted without a franchise.
Therefore, this analysis will focus on the overhead fiber proposed to be installed for Data/VOIP, and not
the provision of future cable.
In addition, staff considered RMC 4-6-090.D. which allows for exemptions due to technological difficulties;
when costs outweigh the general welfare consideration implicit in underground installation; or, if the
CenturyLink N.556168
Page 2 of 2
August 30, 2019
growth pattern of the area has not been sufficiently established to determine the ultimate service routes.
In this instance, the portion of the route proposed for aerial installation is in an area where cost to
underground one utility service will be cost prohibitive.
DECISION: The requested exemption from underground utility installation requirements RMC4-6-090 (C)
as requested by the applicant for the Project Reach is approved with conditions subject to the conditions
below as the request complies with exemption criteria of RMC 4-6-090(D)(1)(h) i and ii.
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 Century Link’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 Century Link 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, 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, September 13, 2019.
