BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

In the Matter of the Petition of Terrence and Roseann Grimm for Authorization To Modify Resolution E-3842, Dated September 18, 2003.

Application 04-02-003 (Filed February 2, 2004)

OPINION

I. Summary

Terrence and Roseann Grimm of Kenwood Inn and Spa expanded their Inn and required relocation of four overhead utility poles in the vicinity of the Inn's driveway. But, because of concerns from neighbors and a local water agency on the locations of overhead utility facilities, they request authorization to modify Resolution E-3842. Their application requests the following:

1. Paragraph 1 of the order would be restated to provide, "The Kenwood Inn and Spa's exemption from undergrounding the conductors on four existing joint utilities poles along Highway 04-SON-12 is approved, but the Kenwood Inn and Spa may elect to place the electric lines, poles, and transmission facilities underground. The overhead relocation deviation is granted only through the end of 2004"

2. As part of the undergrounding option described in paragraph (1), above, the Kenwood Inn and Spa may elect to: either, (a) cause to be erected and placed a new power pole immediately adjacent to the existing pole (the "Kunde Pole") on the opposite, East, side of Highway 04-SON-12, situated on real property owned by the Kunde family; or, (b) cause to be constructed a concrete pad upon the Kunde property, and relocate the transformer currently situated upon the Kunde Pole upon the pad.

By this decision, we grant the requested authority subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
