Mr. Christopher Rogers <br /> Ms. Suzanne Steinhauer <br /> May 13, 2013 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> Inasmuch as Xcel has now acknowledged the necessity of relocating Structure 076-4 <br /> (from its present location depicted as "1" on the attachment 3 hereto to the indicated new <br /> position), the Kuruvillas reiterate their request that Xcel at the same time realign GRE's <br /> transmission line from its present position(depicted as"2"to "3" on attachment 3 hereto). <br /> It appears that with the relocation of Structure 076-4, the GRE transmission line can <br /> easily pass below Xcel's new 115 KV line (while maintaining proper clearances) so that GRE's <br /> wooden pole can be relocated as indicated in the attached sketch. The relocation of GRE's <br /> wooden pole would then permit Xcel to complete the berm, as previously requested by the <br /> Kallivayalils, without the "dip" that presently prevents effective screening of Xcel's new <br /> substation and transmission line/poles from the Kallivayalils' property. By relocating GRE's <br /> wooden pole structure, and eliminating the "dip" in the berm, tree planting could also be <br /> extended to the end of the berm, thereby increasing the screening effect of the berm; 3 rows of <br /> evergreens approximately 5 feet apart on top of the berm is suggested. <br /> In view of the devastating effect that the presence of Xcel's new substation and new 115 <br /> KV line has upon the market value of the Kallivayalils' adjacent property, the Kallivayalils' <br /> present proposal to lessen that negative impact of those structures is eminently reasonable. <br /> Please contact me with your response to this request. <br /> Yours very truly, <br /> ' . e. • <br /> PIN:In <br /> Encl. <br /> cc: Michael and Leena Kallivayalil <br /> Ray Kirsch <br />
