If you would take a few minutes to look them over, it is obvious that I have spent a
considerable amount of money doing so, and have been encouraged by many residents of
Edmonds to continue. It is discouraging to continue these thoughts when confronted with
this large expense and delay.
I have included some photos for your review, showing some of the current connections
and the upgrading of a very old building.
I would appreciate your understanding and support for an overhead connection.
My wife and I have been in residence in Edmonds since 1953, and we both are very
concerned about preserving the beautiful quality of life we have in our city.
Yours very truly,

RE: Electrical Connection —119 3rd Avenue North, Edmonds
Dear Mr. Murphy:
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
I have reviewed your letter dated September 15, 2004, requesting that you be allowed to
connect the electrical service for your project at 119 3rd Avenue North via overhead
service rather than underground service. As I understand your letter, the reasons that you
believe you should be allowed to connect your electrical services overhead are primarily
that other electrical services in the vicinity of your project are overhead and that the cost
and time to install the service underground would be excessive.
In reviewing your situation, I have determined that the electrical connection to your
building is a new private utility service as defined by Edmonds Community Development
Code (ECDC) 18.05.000. In accordance with ECDC 18.05.010, all private utility services
installed after the effective date of the ordinance shall be underground. Therefore, it is
my determination that the electrical connection to your building at 119 3rd Avenue North
is required by the Edmonds Community Development Code to be installed underground.
I have enclosed for your review a copy of ECDC Chapter 18.05.
I do not have the authority to approve installation of your electrical connection overhead.
However, ECDC 18.05.040 provides an option for you to apply for a variance from the
underground requirements following the variance process described in ECDC 20.95.050.
I have also enclosed a copy of ECDC Chapter 20.95 for your information and review.
Please note that "the special circumstances necessary to justify a variance from the
undergrounding provisions ... shall be limited to technological impracticability of any
required underground installation or to a finding that the cost of the underground
installation is excessive in light of the benefits derived and outweighs the benefits to be
gained by the public." You are welcome to submit an application for a variance.
Incorporated August 11, 1890
victor r1hi - Holrinan .1nnnn
If you have any questions about my determination, please don't hesitate to call me at 771
0220. If you have any questions about the procedures and/or fees to apply for a variance,
please contact the Planning Division at the same phone number.

Mr. Murphy, the owner of the subject parcel, has forwarded your communication to us.
During your review of underground utility requirements perhaps some pertinent information may
not have been made available for your consideration.
Specifically, the building in question has existed for several decades with overhead service from
the main residence on the same tax parcel. We believe one of Mr. Murphy's options was to
replace that existing service wire with one of similar gauge that would not exceed 10 percent of the
original size or load use. ( Please refer to ECDC 18.05.000 (6 a iii) ). Additionally, we believe this
work would not be, pursuant to ECDC 18.05.000 definition, a new private utility service.
If you concur that Mr. Murphy is exempt from underground requirements and may perform work
as described above could you please notify him by telephone (425.771.6189) as soon as
possible, with follow up written communication, so that he may proceed with said work.

RE: Electrical Service Connection —119 3rd Avenue North, Edmonds
Dear Mr. Waite:
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
This is in response to your letter dated September 21, 2004. I understand that the
building in question (out building) was previously existing and that it was provided
electrical service via an overhead line from the main residence, and that the main
residence received electrical service via an overhead private utility service from the alley.
ECDC 18.05.00O.A.3. defines "private utility services" as "the utilities which connect a
lot or commercial development with common utilities." ECDC 18.05.O00.A.2. defines
"common utilities" as "utilities which serve more than one lot or commercial
development."
The previously (and presently) existing electrical service from the alley to the main
residence is a private utility service. The previously, existing overhead electrical service
from the main residence to the out building was not a private utility service as defined in
the ECDC since it did not connect the building (or lot) to common utilities. The
proposed (as we understand it) new electrical service to the out building is a private
utility service as defined in the ECDC since it will connect the out building directly to the
common utilities in the alley. In other words, there was previously one private electrical
utility service, and the proposal (as we understand it) will have two private electrical
utility services, one to the main residence and one to the out building.
Therefore, the proposed electrical service to the out building from the common utility in
the alley is a new private utility service and is required by ECDC 18.05.010.A.2. to be
installed underground. .
In your letter you refer to ECDC 18.05.000.6.a.iii regarding rebuilding or replacing
utilities provided that the rebuilt or replaced structures do not expand the existing utilities
use within the project area by 10 percent. You state that one of Mr. Murphy's options
was to replace the previously existing service wire that provided service to the out
Incorporated August 11, 1890
building via the main residence, and that you believe this would not be a new private
utility service. Please note that this paragraph specifically refers to rebuilding or
replacing existing common utilities. Since the electrical service in question is not a
common utility, this ECDC paragraph is not applicable in this situation. We agree that, if
Mr. Murphy chooses to simply replace the electrical service from the main residence to
the out building, the undergrounding requirements of ECDC Chapter 18.05 do not apply,
and the electrical service from the main residence to the out building and from the main
residence to the common utility in the alley may be overhead. I understand that we have
previously advised both the PUD and Mr. Murphy of this.
However, if Mr. Murphy chooses to install a new electrical service directly from the
common utility in the alley to the out building, I affirm my previous decision that the
undergrounding requirements of ECDC 18.05 do apply, and the new electrical service
must be underground.
Mr. Murphy may appeal this decision to the Hearing Examiner, or he may apply for a
variance as I indicated to him in my letter of September 20, 2004.
If you have any questions about my decision, please don't hesitate to call me at 771 0220.
If you have any questions about the procedures and/or fees to appeal my decision or
apply for a variance, please contact the Planning Division at the same phone number.
