impact on homeowners, displacement of residents, cost of easements, transmission and
distribution line construction costs, engineering factors, and other relevant factors to the extent
reasonably possible; and

mailed to landowners who own property within 500 feet of the potential sites, in order to inform

DME staff, recommended to City Council by a vote of 6-0 that the "Purple Site" be selected as
the site for the relocation and reconstruction of the Hickory Substation; and

the opinion, and the City Council finds, that "Purple Site" is a feasible site option for the
