NEC S 230.70 (A) [Service Equipment — <br />Disconnecting Means] does notprevent a maximum distance between the point of entrance of <br />service conductors to a readily accessible location for the installation of a service <br />disconnecting means. While the NEC allows the passage of service conductors thru an attic <br />space, the City's local amendment does not. (See attached) <br />S. 82 -348 Franchise to install equipment in streets. No recommendation by staf. Staff reads <br />this section as a clarification that permits issued to residents /contractors is for work <br />performed within private property. Permits are not issued to public utility companies working <br />within rights -of -way so city franchise agreements govern that work <br />On the question regarding the state mandated 09101/11 adoption of the 2011 NEC, included <br />with this packet is Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) information. <br />Please note that the 09101111 mandate applies to unincorporated areas of the state (where <br />there are no city permitting requirements). However, inside the corporate limits of a <br />municipality (i.e. where there ARE city permitting requirements), electricians must abide by <br />the permitting and electrical code requirements adopted under local ordinance. <br />Staff recommends adopting the 2011 Ed. of the National Electrical Code with local <br />amendments that the Board believes is appropriate. <br />0 Page 2 <br />
