绿化的指导方针

The following are guidelines for the City of Fairbanks landscape ordinance for multi-residential and commercial projects.

  • GVEA will approve planting in easements as long as the landscaping won’t adversely affect our underground or overhead utility equipment
  • Landscape plans need to incorporate existing and planned electrical equipment locations and must show all existing utility easements
  • GVEA需要检查这些计划, whether public utility easements or private GVEA easements, before granting a waiver of the landscaping ordinance
  • This allows GVEA to determine potential conflicts before they arise.

Guidelines for landscaping near underground power lines to assure access to GVEA facilities:

  • Call GVEA to locate cables before digging – This includes landscape contractors
  • Digging by hand is required within 5 feet of located primary underground lines
  • 种植大树, 如桦树和云杉, at least 8 feet from transformers and underground cables, so roots can’t grow into the equipment – Appropriate distance is specific to tree species.
  • Plant shrubs at least 5 feet away from GVEA’s underground equipment

To prevent interference with overhead power lines and equipment, when selecting trees for planting within or adjacent to utility easements:

  • Consider the height of the tree at maturity in relation to conductor height, 不同的站点有哪些不同
  • Consider the spread of mature trees in relation to the location of utility lines and poles
  • Plant trees at least 15 feet from the center line of the power line, a power pole or where they will not interfere with guide wires or other equipment
  • Plant small trees and shrubs in a way that allows access to the right of way by utility personnel and vehicles for constructing, 操作, 或者维护公用设备

Examples of some small trees and shrubs that may be acceptable are listed in the approximate order of growing height from smallest to largest. 这些包括:

  • Muhgo松
  • 南京樱桃
  • 中国玫瑰树
  • 淡紫色
  • 蟹的苹果
  • Chokecherry (Shubert and Canadian Red)
  • Common Chokecherry (Prunus Virginia)
  • Showy Mountain Ash (Sorbus Decora)

GVEA, 以及其他公用事业, may exercise their rights to access, construct and maintain utility equipment within easements for overhead and underground facilities at any time.

击剑的指导方针

Fences are important and often necessary for a property owner’s privacy. 然而, it’s necessary for GVEA to have access to the power lines to provide safe and uninterrupted service.

Most power lines extend along back lot lines and the right of way is the only access for the power line. If a fence is constructed around the entire perimeter of a lot crossing or running adjacent to a power line, 请遵循以下指引:

  • Do not attach fencing or posts to power poles
  • Retain a minimum distance of 10 feet from all poles or underground transformer boxes – When underground electrical is present, call GVEA for an underground locate
  • When building a fence adjacent to a power line that extends along the property line, either:
    • Set the fence 10 feet from the centerline of the power line to allow for truck access
    • Set the fence along the property line but provide 12-foot wide gates at either end of the right of way so access is maintained
  • When building a fence across the power line right of way, a 12-foot wide gate is needed to access the power line – If a gate is not provided and GVEA needs immediate access to the power pole or line, GVEA may have to remove a portion of the fence at the owner’s expense
  • If the property owner intends to lock the gate, it will need to be double-locked – GVEA and the property owner each provide a lock and the two are interlocked – This allows the owner to maintain control of access and line crews to perform emergency repairs without having to contact the property owner
