Allegheny Power
FREDERICK, MD. 21705
Jefferson Pike
Utility Relocation
Dear
Mr. Carpenter:
The following are concerns related
to the relocation of the overhead electric lines along Jefferson Pike in
Jefferson.
1.
Space
would be needed for pad mounted transformers, switchgear, and vaults.
2.
All
buildings would need re-wired to accommodate the underground services or all
residences and businesses currently served from the front would need to be
re-wired to accept service from the rear. Any meters located inside would need
to be moved outside.
3.
The
town would be responsible for all trenching and the conduit installation.
4.
All
property owners would be required to provide new rights-of-way for any
equipment needed to provide the new service.
5.
Trees
located in back yards, along streets and alleys would need cut or trimmed to
allow location of new facilities.
6.
The
current street light system would need addressed. Decorative post top lights
are available.
7.
Due
to the depths of the properties, additional poles in the backyards would be
necessary to get from the alleys to the buildings.
8.
There
are areas where we have no facilities in the rear. We would ask Bell Atlantic
to replace their poles so we may attach.
9.
The
traffic lights would need to have power maintained. If they are replaced
consideration on how to serve them will be a factor.
Before we proceed with any engineering, we would need
the following information:
A detailed drawing of the area involved including
one block in each direction. This drawing should show all water, sewer, and
storm drain lines.
A list of property owners who would need contacted
to obtain new rights-of-way.
A decision on street lighting and the traffic
lights.
We would ask that the town notifies all property
owners of the project and that Allegheny Power may be approaching them to
locate facilities on their property.
If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me at 301-694-4402.
Sincerely,
Lines Engineering Designer
