Overhead power lines at Villa Park subdivision
Summary
New homes at Villa Park will back up to overhead electric lines because TEP just installed new poles along Grier Road and the Town code allows the Commission to waive undergrounding. Staff acknowledged a process gap: the Town usually doesn't learn about utility upgrades until they're already built.

Impact analysis
Avoids costly relocation of utility infrastructure TEP just installed, but leaves visual overhead lines next to a new subdivision.
TEP and its existing customers along Grier and Wentz Roads, who keep recently upgraded service infrastructure intact.
Future Villa Park residents will live adjacent to overhead power lines rather than undergrounded utilities.
