encircle the substation facility, be changed to a four-sided, six-foot solid masonry/brick

either in favor or opposition or wanted to comment on this request to come forward. The
following person spoke in opposition:
Trac Bledsoe, PacTrust, 11701 Luna Road, Farmers Branch, TX - expressed
opposition to the substation at this location because PacTrust believes it will
adversely affect property values in the immediate area, acknowledging the
fact that this service is needed. He asked that the Commission postpone a
decision on this case for 30 days to give PacTrust an opportunity to see what
other locations might be available to this applicant so that this facility isn't so
visible at the front doorstep of Coppell. He added that appropriate screening
is absolutely necessary, noting his opinion that a 6'-high screening wall
seems extremely short. He also feels that the drive into the facility needs to
be adequate and not be merely a dirt path.

location is best. He volunteered to increase the height of the brick wall from
6' to 8' and also include the landscaping adjacent to the wall.
Chairman Foreman closed the Public Hearing.

additional landscaping might help make this substation more palatable, whether or not these
lines can be buried, schedule for maintaining the landscaping, relocation of trees to better
