r , , . 9 R. Tallon explained this proposal will be tabled till the next meeting (January 27, 1998) at which time the pertinent information discussed tonight should be available. The motion was seconded by K O'Rourke and unanimously approved. 3) Cablevision. 24910 Lorain Road Proposal to install pole (similar to an Illuminating Company pole) in side yard to accept an overhead ruu of fiber optic lines from the poles in the right of way and then use underground conduit to complete the installation into the building. . Continued from planning commission meeting of December 9, 1997 Mr. Hynds advised at the last meeting a more specific site plan showing: where the poles are located, also a section ofthe pole showing what type ofpole, the height, where the cables are attached, a picture of the u.nderground, and a referencing of underground utilities, and the location of the house next door. Mr. Hynds presented a revised plan with the following letters: One from C.E.I. refusing permission to attach to the existing pole, a letter from cablevision stating that they would remove the overhead pole if they vacated the premises, and a letter from the owner of the property granting permission to add the pole. Mr. Hynds advised Service Director Bolilman requested that the pole be placed in the right of way, thus there are three options for location of the pole as listed on the plan. The first page lists the different landscaping for each of the options and the second page lists the location of the utilities (gas, water, electric, and telephone lines). Mr. Hynds prefened option one, which is located on the side of the lot, as it would be less trenching and less utilities to run across. The second option is in the right-of- way at the comer of the drive and the third option is further down in the right-of-way. Mr. Manniug noted option one is the most direct route. Mr. Hynds added with option one the pole would be less subject to getting hit by a car. It was noted there will be no lights on the pole and all the lines will be underground from the bu.ilding. Mr. Hynds advised the conduit would be in P.V.C. pipe and encased in concrete which would run underground from the building to the pole. Mr. Tallon asked where the cables coming out from the building would be located. Mr. Hynds stated they would go to the existing C.E.I. pole. He advised the front of the bu.ilding is a cable store and the back of the building there will be a distribution hub with electronic racks, scramblers, de-scramblers, etc. Mr. Tallon noted the dish will no longer be needed and questioned where this will be fed from. Mr. Hynds advised it will be fed from the dish in Strongsville and the entire city will be rewired for the Optimum T.V. Mr. Tallon wondered if the amount of conduits will inerease because this is the distribution center. Mr. Hynds advised six is maximum, three of which are for the fibre optic expansion. Mr. Tallon questioned how many more poles would be needed. Mr. Hynds advised they could not add-any more poles because each of the distnbution hubs only have fifteen racks which supp ort a maximum of six P. V. C. conduits. Mr. Tallon questioned if their is a list of the schematics or anythiug covering the fibre optic network particularly the pole mounting heights. Mr. Hynds advised space is rented from C.E.I., therefore he was not aware of the mounting heights at this time. Mr. Tallon confirmed the mounting heights will be known in the future. Mr. Hynds agreed C.E.I. shall inform Cablevision in the near future about the mounting heights as their are certain distances from the phone and power lines which must be maintained. Mr. Tallon wondered if any of the cables will interfere with the power lines. Mr. Hynds stated they will be in compliance with the National Electric Code (N.E.C.) for spacing etc. Mr. Tallon wondered if their is a cut on the plan showing where the cables are on the poles. Mr. Hynds noted the location of the underground conduit bank that would run from the building to the pole. He advised the conduit will ru.n up a foot when it gets to the pole, but the fibre optic conduit will run up three to six feet. Mr. Tallon questioned if this is acceptable to C.E.I. Mr. Hynds advised they will be 40" from any existing secondary power lines, a minimum of 12" from existing phone lines, and C.E.I. will advise of where to attach that. Mr. Tallon requested a cut of where the cables are in relation to the power cables and the pole attachment location. City Engineer Deichmann advised the N.E.C. in addition to
