As you know, the City of Santa Clara ("City") has approved plans to construct its new 115 kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission line from the Northern Receiving Station (NRS) to Kifer Receiving Station (KRS) Project ("Project"). In order to construct the Project, the City requires an overhead electric easement from you at the property located at 891 Laurelwood Road, Santa Clara, CA 95054 ("Property") .
We have not come to an agreement for a voluntary sale of these easement rights; therefore, the City Council will hold a hearing and consider adopting a Resolution of Necessity. If adopted, the Resolution of Necessity functions as a declaration that public use and necessity requires the acquisition of an overhead electric easement on the Property for the Project. To that end, please find enclosed a Notice of Intention to Adopt Resolution of Necessity, stating that the hearing before the City Council is scheduled for June 24, 2025. If you wish to appear at the hearing and address the City Council , please complete the enclosed Request to be Heard and return it to the City Clerk in advance of the hearing.
