RE: Aerial Variance Request for JT#217256
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 over-lash approximately 5000’ of aerial cable along the right of way of Union Ave
NE, Olympia Ave NE and SE 100th St in order to meet on going service capacity issues.
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 and 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.
