Re: X cel Energy's B aytovni Sub station
Our rite No. M 452
Dear Marl:
This letter is to foilo ti p on our te lephone conversation on Friday, Aug 3 ", regardn' - Ig
ce i E ire rg)?s conditional use permit fo its B aytown. S ubstation in Oak Park Heights. As
'We discussed., it is nay und.ers t:andizg that the city council had previously imposed four
conditions on X cel Energ) llz connection with th recent materia ch ange of condit of t he
ne ig hborhood s�irroundii g the substation ie of terra rating X cei i nerg� s conditional
use ern as set f in item four of said permi one of the conditions dealt with
t • • • ■
land sca i_il plans, t dealt With f encin g re an th f inal cond ition was re to
li ghti - regijirernents. As we discussed, it is my und.erstandinor that cei Energy and the City
i�a lc reac agreement on t first.: th conditions. Regarding the i i gii.ting cond itions, we
have agreed to not vur n on th substation lights at night, except as required for night--time ..... ..
....... maintenance or in cases of emergency., You and I discussed this last point, and it is my
Linderstan&ig after our conversat that you are iii agreement that it is not po to
pre dict h many e erg encies we inght have in a g i'ren mont Pr e viously, th pity h
comi to us that it would tolerate no more than three cases of emergency nighttiine
lighting per ino nth . We cannot predict when einergencies n occur and ciectnicit is an
cssentiai service for the resident's of Oak Farm Heights and therefore we do not believe it
would be reasona for the Cit�r to terminate the conditional use permit in the event that
th are, for example, for emergency events in a par tic
month. � � iehe�re ire were ice. th
agreement on this pou7t.
