| 08/06/2025 | Signs | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | August 5. 2025 102 S. Swan - TC-COM-0725-01411; COT 306 Repair Vandalized Electrical Equipment Comments: 1. The Settlement Agreement, Page E9-5, number 5, states, "Clear Channel shall have the right at any time to repair or replace any damage to or destruction of any Clear Channel Billboard incurred through the wrongful acts of third parties … provided that replacement parts are of the same size, configuration, materials, and age or wear as is practical, and provided that the repair or replacement is performed in the manner provided in Exhibit 12." [emphasis added] Exhibit 12 deals with the Permitting process and the documentation required. Exhibit 9, starting at number 2, states, "The following repairs and alterations may be performed on a Clear Channel Billboard with a Permit …" The section continues to Page E9-4, item (x) which states, "replacement of electrical services, conduit, wiring, and /or meters with like electrical services, conduit, wiring, and /or meters or such reasonably comparable electrical services, conduit, wiring, and /or meters as required to comply with the technical codes." [emphasis added] Among other things, what is proposed in this submittal is the removal of a disconnect switch to be replaced with a second electrical panel at the location of the vandalized billboard, which is connected by conduit and conductors to the second billboard on the site, which is where an existing panel is located. What is proposed is more than is allowed by Exhibit 9. There is a solution that does not require a second electrical panel, and that is to remove the lights on one of the two billboards that are served by this meter and panel. That would meet the requirements of the "like for like" aspect as well as the current technical codes. 2. The Partial Site Plan on Drawing Sheet 2 of 2 shows a dimension on the east side of the billboard of "Approx. 25'." In addition, there is a dimension from the north end of the other existing billboard on the property of "Approx. 50'." Those dimensions are probably the distance from the billboards to the curbs along Swan and Broadway. They should be marked as such, because one could interpret that they are setbacks from the property lines, which, according to a quick check on Google Earth, they are not. Please identify them as being the distances to the curbs, not the property lines. 3. Drawing Sheet 2 of 2 in the title block, lower right, the address is transposed. "201" should be "102." 4. The Partial Site Plan, Sheet 2 of 2, south side, notes that there is an "existing 3/4" EMT with (2) #8 conductors to be replaced with (2) #6 conductors." This is not "like for like." This may be another issue regarding having to meet current code, but again, it is beyond the scope of the Settlement Agreement. 5. The note on the Partial Site Plan noted in #4 above does not match the "Electrical Service (Exist.)" elevation drawing of the existing Unipole. The Partial Site Plan note says, "Existing 3/4" EMT with (2) #8 conductors to be replaced with (2) #6 conductors." The Electrical Service Elevation drawing says, "Existing 1" EMT with (3) #6 conductors to be replaced with new (like)." And the Scope of Work statement on Sheet 2 of 2 doesn't match several of the notes on the drawings. 6. On the same Elevation noted in #5 above, there is no note identifying if there are /were existing ground rods and cable, only that CCO proposes "new 5/8" x 8' ground rods (2) and #4 solid copper ground cable." Were existing ground rods and cable stolen? Are they existing but need to be replaced? If so, what sizes are they? Is it possible that the installation was never grounded (?) If it was never grounded, then adding new grounding equipment is beyond the scope of the Settlement Agreement. 6. There are no specifications noted for the existing Meter Socket, "obsolete Crouse Hinds Disconnect," or the Timer. I need to know that what is being proposed is indeed "like for like." 7. It was the intention of the Settlement Agreement to allow CCO to repair vandalized equipment. But the fact that the code has change in the meantime does not mean that the Settlement Agreement must be violated in order to accommodate the new overcurrent protection requirements. In order to meet those requirements, some entirely new, and other larger sized equipment is being proposed. The Settlement Agreement allows for "reasonably comparable" equipment to replace existing equipment. What is being proposed is more than what the Settlement Agreement allows, and would make the installation more "robust" with a longer "life" than what is there now. Kathi McLaughlin, BRC Reviewer |
