Very good video, just what I needed. Is Edison's easement the same throughout the south bay? And what is it? I have power lines running across the back of my property. I would say they are about 3 feet from back property line above my yard. Thanks!
Hi Scott - Thanks for watching our video. Overhead service lines are common in backyards in the South Bay, but easements/setbacks can differ in every city. You'll want to contact SCE for help, they'll review your plans and will move service lines that may interfere with your project. Make sure to like and subscribe so you won't miss another video!
By move? Do you mean putting them underground? And is that expense on me? I live in Manhattan Beach and there ADU hand out says the back setback can be 3 feet. So I was wondering if that overrides Edison ? Thanks again. I have watched all your ADU videos and they are great! I am talking about the high power lines. Not the secondaries that run to the house. Just to be clear.
For service lines, they won't underground them (it's way too expensive for them) they'll just move the service line to another utility pole. The setback will vary per neighborhood. Transmission lines are a whole different story. You'll want to contact the SCE Planning Office for any specific questions ....they'll be able to answer any specific questions www.sce.com/partners/consulting-services/localplanning want help designing & building your project?

Hello MT, the state law does allow municipalities to adopt additional requirements for ADUs but they cannot be unreasonable. It's true that the local building code of El Monte does not allow ADU's to exceed 800 sq ft, and if it is attached it cannot exceed 50% of your existing living space. You can read the El Monte municipal code regarding ADUs here www.ci.south-el-monte.ca.us/Portals/0/Zoning/1721-1740/17.38%20Accessory%20Dwelling%20Units%202018.pdf SB229 (the state law) says an ADU shall not exceed 1,200 square feet. You can read the entire bill here. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB229 We hope we have helped answer all your ADU questions - if you want a free assessment talk to our team at (888) 881 -7355 or visit www.baycitiesconstruction.com/contact-us
Hard to hear!
Sorry we had some technical difficulties 😭
Do you have any information about the Ontario City?
Hi Richard - I am not too familiar with Ontario - but virtually all cities are obligated to approve some type of ADU build.
It's Acessory Dwelling Unit not auxiliary
Hi Willie 🏠ADUs go by many names, including "Accessory Dwelling Units", "Auxiliary Dwelling Unit", "Second Unit", "In-Law Unit" and "Granny Flat"
Can you cover ADU for El Segundo please
Hi there - thanks so much for your comment. ADU requirements are similar in all municipalities - was there a specific question we can help answer?
Is this Alex from the Mohave desert, near Bacon strip ranch?
yes sir!
Good info but you need a better microphone. You don’t need a team of editors but you need some pros to help your audio
