SUMMARY
Cooperative Power is requesting a permit to install a high power transmission line in Rosemount from Dodd
Blvd and County Road 38 (McAndrews Road) to Eagan in the STH 3 ROW. Most of the route is within ROW.
The new Essential Services Facilities ordinance requires a public hearing for high power transmission lines that
are more than 1/4 mile in length.
The reasons for the line are essentially the need to supply power for increasing demands in a developing area,
particularly in Eagan which is in the MUSA. Representatives of Cooperative Power will be present to answer
technical questions regarding the proposed line.
On August 12, 1997, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing as required.
I RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt A Resolution Approving the Transmission Facility
Permit Requested by Cooperative Power.

Project Need
This project is needed to
sustain reliable service for
Dakota Electric Association's
Lebanon Hills Substation.
Due to increased load levels,
the existing transmission
source can become
inadequate under some
operating conditions.
Therefore, the new line will
become the normal source,
and the existing source will
serve as a back-up. The new
line will also provide an
additional path of supply into
the Eagan area in general and
add flexibility in switching
operations. Two way supply is
a planned future need for this
substation.
Project Goal
To increase transmission
reliability and service by
providing a second source for
the Lebanon Hills Substation
and to replace the lost
transmission source serving
the cities of Eagan, Inver
Grove Heights, and
Rosemount.

Route
The 2.7 miles of line will be
built using single shaft wood
poles as shown on the
drawing. However, steel poles
may be used on corners.
Typical poles spans are 300 to
350 feet or about 17 poles per

Cooperative Power has
carefully studied the area and
has proposed a route that
utilizes existing road right-of-
way. The majority of the route
follows State Highway #3
(South Robert Trail) from
County Road 7#38 (McAndrews
Road) to County Road #32
(Cliff Road). Along
McAndrews Road the project
is proposed to follow the north
side of the road. Along Cliff
Road the transmission line is
proposed for the south side of
the road which is the same as
the existing transmission line
west of the substation.
Easements
The majority of the new line is
to be built on road right-of-way
2 to 5 feet from the edge of
the right-of-way. except along
McAndrews Road and west of
Manor Lake on Cliff Road,
where private easements are
necessary in anticipation of
road expansion in the future.
