CASE #: S-1041(A) - ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION
P & Z HEARING DATE: January 21, 1993
C. C. HEARING DATE: February 9, 1993
LOCATION:
The northwest comer of Thweatt Road and Coppell Road.
SIZE OF AREA: 2.72 Acres of land.
REQUEST:
Approval of an amendment to a site plan, to allow the expansion
of the electrical substation.
APPLICANT:
Brazos Electric Cooperative
Representative: Mr. A1 Petter
Right-of-Way Department
2404 Lasalle Avenue
Waco, Texas 76702-2585
(817) 750-6500
HISTORY:
An S.U.P. and a plat were approved for the switching station, at the
request of T.U. Electric in 1989.
TRANSPORTATION:
The property is situated at the intersection of Thweatt, Coppell and Sandy
Lake Roads. Thweatt and Sandy Lake Roads are classified as (C4D/6)
divided thoroughfares with 100-110 feet of right-of-Way; Coppell Road
is planned to be a (C2U), an undivided street contained within a 60 foot
right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - vacant; LI
South - single-family; PD-SF
East - vacant; R
West vacant; R & C
ANALYSIS:
Brazos Electric Cooperative is seeking approval to allow expansion of the
subject substation. The applicant wishes to complete the inter-connection
between Brazos Electric and TU Electric at the Coppell Substation. The
inter-connection will allow for an exchange of electrical power between
the two utilities. If either of these utilities loses a transmission line or
elects to take it out of service, this substation can remain operative with
power from the other line. Presently, the Brazos Electric line along
Thweatt Road and Coppell Road merely passes through the substation
without inter-connecting. Brazos Electric proposes to construct three 48
foot six inch towers inside the substation. These towers will be 13 feet
shorter than the existing tower in the substation. The existing screening
fence and landscaping will be extended 90 feet along Thweatt Road and
90 feet along Coppell Road. Approximately 235 feet of screening fence
exists along Thweatt Road and 215 feet of screening fence exists along
Coppell Road. Additional landscaping and new fencing will be installed
as was required by the City Council in 1989.
The final plat for the Coppell Switching Station was approved with the
provision that TU Electric would be relieved of paving Thweatt Road and
Coppell Road, contingent upon TU's dedication of right-of-way for both
roads, and also donation of right-of-way for the old Brazos Power and
Light easement, which parallels Sandy Lake Road. TU Electric will pay
for the line at the time the City initiates the upgrade and improvement of
Sandy Lake Road.
Because TU Electric has frontage on Coppell Road and Brazos Electric
owns property along both Coppell and Thweatt Roads the City will initiate
an agreement which includes both utilities and the City of Coppell.
The following variances were requested along with this site plan
amendment:
1) Using rock vs. concrete for yard surface
2) Open ditch drainage
3) Minimum landscaping to be done at this time (complete landscaping
to take place when the street is widened)
4) Rock instead of concrete drive (concrete drive to be added when street
is widened)
Staff has no objections to the approval of the variances; however, the
conditions of approval should be placed on the site plan as well.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the site plan amendment
2) Deny the site plan amendment
3) Modify the site plan amendment
ATTACHMENTS:
1) Site plan
2) Zoning exhibit
3) Letter requesting variances
4) City Manager's comments (6-13-89)

Re: Case #S-1041 (A) - SUP Application
Dear Mr. Sieb:
Pursuant to our conversation on February 26, 1993, I am writing to conf~m that
subject to the City's approval of Brazos Electric's SUP application, Brazos Electric
would agree to certain conditions, set forth below, to be incorporated in the SUP
pursuant to the above referenced application.
By way of background, the June 5, 1989 letter from Alan D. Ratliff, City Manager for
the City of Coppell to Tom Parsons, the then District Manager for TU Electric (a copy
is attached as Exhibit A) and the City Council minutes of the 1989 SUP approval (a
copy is attached as Exhibit B) indicates that TU would be relieved of the cost of paving
pursuant to the future widening of Thweatt and Coppell Road contingent upon the
following conditions:
1) The dedication to the City of a 40' easement out of the substation site
along Thweatt and Coppell Road;
2) The donation to the City by TU Electric of "the right-of-way for the old
Brazos Power and Light easement which parallels Sandy Lake Road," and
3) TU Electric would pay for the relocation of "this line" (referring to the "old
Brazos Power and Light" line) at the time the City initiates the upgrade and
improvement of Sandy Lake Road.
Although Brazos Electric and TU Electric dedicated the 40' easement as agreed upon
in condition #1 above, the agreements negotiated and agreed to between TU Electric
and the City in 1989 were never incorporated into a written agreement, and there
appears to be some disagreement as to what the parties intended with regard to
condition 2 and 3.
Because it is essential that Brazos Electric proceed with the needed improvements to
the Coppell Substation site immediately, and in order to secure approval of the
Special Use Permit at the March 9, 1993 City Council meeting, Brazos Electric has
agreed to pay to the City the paving assessment (estimated at between $179 and $9.00
per running foot) for the 379.57 feet of substation site frontage along Thweatt Road
and the 171.06 feet of substation site frontage along Coppell Road, such frontage
being shown on Exhibit C, attached hereto
Please confh'm in writing that Brazos Electr/c's SUP application #1041 {A) is set on the
March 9, 1993 City Council A~enda, and that the City Manager and Planning
Department will recommend to the City Council that Brazos Electr/c's SUP application
be approved with the following conditions, in lieu-of conditions i and 2 of your letter
to me dated January 22, 1993. As restated, these conditions would state:
1) that Brazos Electric will pay to the City the paving assessment
(estimated at between $179 and $200 per running foot) for the 379.57 feet of
substation site frontage along Thweatt Road and the 171.06 feet of substation
site frontage along Coppell Road, as shown on Exhibit C;
2) more complete landscaping along the substation site frontage along
Thweatt Road and Coppell Road when the roads are £mished; and
3) including the four variances set forth in Brazos Electric's letter to the
City dated January 6, 1993.
If the City Council should deny Brazos Electr/c's application for a Special Use Pei-mit
at its March 9, 1993 meeting, this offer will be withdrawn.

Dear Mr. Parsons:
We will place an item on Coppell's City Council's June 13th
agenda for approval of TU Electric's final plat. As
discussed, I will recommend to the Council that TU be
relieved of the cost of paving, contingent upon TU's
dedication of right-of-way for both Coppell and Sandy Lake
Roads, as well as your agreement to donate the right-of-way
for the old Brazos Power and Light easement which parallels
Sandy Lake Road. TU Electric will pay for relocation of
this line at the time the City initiates the upgrade and
improvement of Sandy Lake Road. Let me know if this is not
consistent with what was discussed at our recent meeting.
We will also require that TU provide executed easements
the right-of-way for Coppell and Thweat Roads.

Re: Paving Assessment at Coppell Substation; Power Lines along Sandy Lake Road
(Existing and Contemplated)
Dear Mr. Sieb:
Pursuant to our earlier discussions, including our meeting on February 26, 1993, I am
writing to confirm TU Electric's position regarding the paving assessment along Coppell
Road adjacent to the electrical substation and the electric power lines (both existing and
contemplated) along Sandy Lake Road.
(1)
TU Electric will enter into an agreement with the City to remove the wood pole
69 kV electric transmission line presently in place along Sandy Lake Road and
depicted in the plat attached (labeled "Locator Map - TU Electric Transmission
Line" with the wood pole line highlighted with a yellow marker), and allow the
City to utilize (donate) the fight-of-way easements (presently owned by TU
Electric for this wood pole line) in the City's proposed improvements and
widening of Sandy Lake Road.
(2)
TU Electric will enter into an agreement to pay the City the paving assessment
(estimated at between $179 and $200 per running foot) for the electrical
substation site frontage along Coppell Road (designated by TU Electric as the
"Coppell substation").
TU Electric is willing to enter into an agreement for the two (2) matters stated above
conditioned and contingent upon the City entering into an agreement to provide TU Electric
sufficient right-of-way along Sandy Lake Road to construct a double-circuit 138 kV steel
pole electric transmission line, preferably in a "center median" configuration, within the
City's proposed improvements and widening of Sa-n'd~;l~k~-R-~d~"(as depicted in the plat
attached (labeled "Locator Map - TU Electric Transmission Line").

Mr. Gary Sieb, A.I.C.P.
March 2, 1993
Page 2
We want to make very clear that TU Electric maintains an existing double-circuit
138 kV transmission line which exits the Coppell substation in a westerly direction alongside
Theawtt Road. The easements for this power line were acquired from private landowners
and the right-of-way is not within the presently existing road fight-of-way of Thweatt Road.
This power line is not the subject of any of the agreements set forth in this letter.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions in this regard.
