Louisville City Council Meeting <br />March 6, 2001 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Wood stated that on September 19, 2000, after a series of public hearings, Council <br />remanded the application to the Planning Commission for further evaluation of rerouting <br />alternatives, as well as pole types for the rebuild within the existing right-of-way. <br />Wood reported that on December 12, 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed seven <br />alternative routes presented by the applicant. Wood noted that the majority of the <br />alternative routes were located west of the current right-of-way. The applicant applied 15 <br />criteria to each of the proposed alternative alignments. Wood noted that although the <br />applicant presented the information, they were not proposing an alternative right-of-way. <br />The overall length of the alternatives vary between 5.5 to 6 miles, with the exception of <br />the last alternative, which runs east and down 95th Street, which is approximately 7 miles. <br />The amount of new right-of-way needed to acquire corresponds generally to the length of <br />the alternative. The cost of each alternative must therefore add to the cost of acquiring <br />additional right-of-way as a second cost component to the cost of construction. <br /> <br />Wood reviewed that a number of above ground rebuild pole alternatives and combination <br />of alternatives for overhead construction, include the primary request of a single steel, <br />galvanized pole, a single steel pole with a cortan finish, and an H-frame steel pole. Staff <br />requested that the applicant prepare a comparison for three overhead rebuild alternatives. <br />Each alternative was to reflect the type, height, number of poles, capacity of normal and <br />maximum loading, EMF levels, noise levels, time line for construction, and costs, as well <br />as maintenance and operating costs associated with each alternative. <br /> <br />Wood reviewed the proposed upgrades, which include the replacement of the existing <br />wood H-frame poles with single steel monopoles with a proposed height of 86 feet. <br />Existing pole heights within the corridor range form 60' to 80'depending on the location. <br />The new pole height would range from 70' to 100'. <br /> <br />Wood stated that the single steel pole is the choice of the applicant and their position is <br />that the design of the single, monopole system, which uses a horizontal vee-type <br />connection, reduces the visual profile of the pole. The monopole system could <br />potentially eliminate the number of pole structures in the corridor. <br /> <br />Wood noted that comparisons of the single steel pole, the H-frame steel pole, and the <br />wood H-frame pole alternatives have been discussed. He noted that, while using wood H- <br />frames may be more acceptable from a pole height perspective, the fact is that this <br />alternative would add 22 poles into the corridor and would add a significant visual impact <br />in new locations that were not previously impacted. Wood stated that new information <br />received from the applicant states that PSCo has already ordered the single steel <br />monopole with the self-weathering or cortan finish. Staff has requested that the applicant <br />provide information on a concrete aggregate pole type that had not been previously <br />discussed. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
