Re: Harvest Roaring Fork PUD Zoning and River Edge PUD Revocation
Public Service Company of Colorado’s (PSCo) Right of Way & Permits Referral Desk has
reviewed the request for the Harvest Roaring Fork PUD Zoning and River Edge PUD
Revocation and has no objection to this proposed rezone, contingent upon PSCo’s ability to
maintain all existing rights and this amendment should not hinder our ability for future
expansion, including all present and any future accommodations for natural gas transmission
and electric transmission related facilities, and that our current use/ enjoyment of the area
would continue to be an accepted use on the property and that it be “grandfathered” into these
changes.
The property owner/developer/contractor must complete the application process for any new
electric service via xcelenergy.com/InstallAndConnect (Builder’s Call Line/Engineering
Department). It is then the responsibility of the developer to contact the Designer assigned to
the project for approval of design details. The developer will be responsible relocation or
removal of PSCo/Xcel owned utilities. The developer needs to be aware that at the time of
applying with Xcel the following will be required and could happen:
1. Accurate gas BTU loads and electrical loads for the building(s) will be required.
2. If determined by area engineer that reinforcement is needed to Xcel's gas main and or
electrical grid to support added loads from development, said reinforcement will be at
Developers expense.
3. Reinforcement costs are required to be paid prior to installation.
Completion of this City/County review approval process does not constitute an
application with Xcel Energy for utility installation. Applicant will need to contact Xcel
Energy’s to request a formal design for the project. A full set of plans, contractor, and legal
owner information is required prior to starting any part of the construction. Failure to
provide required information prior to construction start will result in delays providing utility
services to your project. Acceptable meter and/or equipment locations will be determined by
Xcel Energy as a part of the design process. Engineering and Construction lead times will vary
depending on workloads and material availability. Relocation and/or removal of existing facilities
will be made at the applicant’s expense and are also subject to lead times referred to above.
Additional easements by separate PSCo document may be required depending on final utility
design and layout, in which case a Right-of-Way Agent will need to be contacted by the Xcel
Designer.
As a safety precaution, PSCo would like to remind the developer to dial 811 for utility locates
prior to construction.
