Home My WebLink AboutA001 - Council Action Form dated May 23, 2023 ITEM#: 16 DATE: 05-23-23 DEPT: Electric COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: 126 S. KELLOGG AVE - ELECTRIC UTILITY EASEMENT ON STORY COUNTY PROPERTY BACKGROUND: There is an existing buried electric line and padmount transformer located on the south side of the Story County Human Services building at 126 S. Kellogg Avenue. The Electric Services Department has prepared an electric utility easement to protect the rights of the City to maintain these existing facilities. A future extension of the buried electric line to provide service to the proposed Bridge Home social services campus construction is prompting the need to obtain this easement. Staff from Story County Human Services is supportive of granting this easement to cover the existing electric facilities on the site and permit the future extension to the south. A copy of the easement, signed by Ames will be presented to the Story County Board of Supervisors for its approval at the next Board of Supervisors meeting. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Electric Utility Easement on the Story County Human Service property. The easement shall be conditioned upon the approval by the Story County Board of Supervisors. 2. Do not approve the Electric Utility Easement on the Story County Human Services property and find another source to provide service to the future load growth to the south of the site. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Bridge Home social services campus is proposed to the south of the Story County Human Services site. Electric service to the Bridge Home campus will be extended from the existing electric facilities on the Story County Human Services site. The proposed easement will ensure that the Electric Services Department has the rights to access the existing electric facilities on the Story County Human Services site. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted above. r 7 0 W soo 0 13702 LED CG 50 't PG 40OW PS HPS l4 1 ow NO SCALEI25= �0 I S i HPS 40OW Way 2C-#10G CU 250W 250W HPS 00#0250W ———— Q0W------- HPS 03 250W U 213 HPS 20 250W LED 0 ` HPS �ico In V,,ay 2 N 250W 232 218 202 2C-#10G CU -- ZbUVV1 250W HPS HPS dwl 5234 HPS X 500 CU QUAD 150W 135E 0 LED CD 1365 T (3) CI 300KVA ' > 1 1 1741 1 *46MV -- --- _ 26 6D 175 :Z�Av 11929 6 mv ICU L-o LE �I (3) • IZ— r \ / 15 • I U 1 c ��^^ VJ E 1 Proposed Easement Area 15' x 110' S 70W N o 1110 HPS r U Exist. 225KVA Q Transformer 3272 0 ow • L D301 _ ' C 15 57B 148121�' LED L B 13 2D 1312 E S grid St 216 210-12 150W LED Exist. 151 70W Buried Wire 1228 LED co coO O O N N O N 75 VA � 213 70W 1485 LED o 04 O O O N 70W r N 04 - LEDo ow 5422 C14 1480 IED C_ N N CITY OF 126 S.
