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. Rhonda Resnik Permit Coordinator Comcast Cable Communications Management o 253-864-4246 | e Rhonda_Resnik@comcast.com November 16, 2020 Rhonda Resnik Comcast Cable Communications, INC. 410 Valley Ave NW Suite 12 Bldg C Sumner, WA 98390 Via Email: Rhonda_Resnik@comcast.com 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. Comcast Job JB#400888 Page 2 of 2 November 16, 2020 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 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, November 30, 2020.
