Re: Variance request Archer to Story 345KV Transmission Line
Dear Mr. Olson:
In reference to Tri-State Generatation and Transmission Asso-
ciation, Incorporated crossing permit for the Archer to Story 345KV
electrical transmission line, we are requesting a variance be granted
in relation to the county resolution "Regulating Installation of
Overhead Utility Lines Across County Roads" dated December 27,1972.
Having reviewed the locations of all transmission line towers
which cross recognized county roads, we find that we must request
a variance be granted allowing a reduction of the 100 foot minimum
set back distance to a minimum of 75 feet, centerline of road to
centerline of transmission tower. This will result in a final
minimum clearance of 55 feet from any tower leg to the centerline
of a county road. This variance is requested for only the following
locations:
county roads 115,86,103,96,89 , 69 and 106 ,and in all cases
only at the point where crossing is made as indicated on plans
forwarded to you.
This reduction of horizontal clearance is necessitated by
stringent governmental codes, heavy stress factors, adjacent utilities,
route location, landowner requests etc. , which cause tower locations
to approach county right-of-way.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Phil B. Mazur
C.H. Guernsey & Co
