As we discussed in the phone conversation our intention is to build this portion <br />of the new line as overhead construction in the existing county right-of-way on the west <br />side of Lexington Avenue. The decision to build overhead construction for this portion <br />of the new feeder is based on the available right-of way, the critical need for additional <br />load serving capability, increased reliability and cost. Placing this portion of the line <br />underground has no operational benefit and would increase the cost significantly. <br /> <br />The portion of the new line extending from our Lexington Substation on County Road F <br />north to Highway 96 is being planned to be installed underground because we lack the <br />right-of-way options available to us on the portion north of Highway 96. The overall <br />project extending from County Road F to County Road I has been approved and <br />permitted by Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Thank you again for your phone call. If you have any further questions or concerns <br />please call me at 651 7793105. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />~. ;J / 1---#-::;.
