October 6, 1980, con't -3- Regular Meeting T~o representatives from Massachusetts Electric, Mr. Bob Borthiaume and Mr. CBa~les Enapp were tat the meeting and gave the Planning Board a professional explanation on the difference between above and underground utility lines. They gave a cost differential, as well as their opinions that overhead poles would not be unsightly in this subdivision. They stated that there is no difference in safe%y factors, just economics. Underground lines have fewer breakage, but are more costly to repair. They sympathized with ~he developer, because of the fact that it is not yet known what types of industry will be occupying the development, and therefore what demand there will be on the utilities. Mr. ~napp said that there are similar industrial subdivisions in Haverhill and Andover, but it is impossible to predict how much power any one building will need. Because of this, is is much easier and less expensive to install the overhead poles. Mr. D'Angelo again asked for the request in writing, and Mr. Hedstrom emphasized that the request for the w~iver must be in writing and explained in detail because the Board is setting a precedent with its decision in this matter.
