Northern States Power Company Utility Easement Request, 44½ and 42½ Ave.
A request was received from Northern States Power Company for a
utility and drainage easement on the back lot line of new lots
on 42½ Avenue and 44½ Avenue. Mr. Warren Johnson from N.S.P. was
present and a discussion was held on the feasibility of underground
service for these building sites. Mr. Johnson stated that the
underground service would cost each resident a minimum of $220 per
building ~te and at least eight consecutive owners would have to contract
with N.S.P. before any underground service could be provided. He said
the service would be placed in a 10' easement adjacent to the front
property line and that grades would have to be determined on these
easements. He said the terraine and multiple ownership is not
adaptable and makes it somewhat impossible to establish such a grade.
Therefore, the overhead lighting from the rear property line is
recommended and that easements have to be ~acquired before the
line can be built. No petitions have been received ~by the
City Council for any underground service. The Council asked
questions and Mr. Johnson discussed the request at len]th and the
Council did not feel that it was a City obligation to obtain these
easements and therefore no Council action was taken.
