District Manager

14400 Josey Lane
Farmers Branch, TX
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 fo~
the right-of-way for Coppell and Thweat Roads.
Sincerely,.
/

MEMORANDUM
May 22, 1989
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan D. Ratliff, City Manager
SUBJECT: Meeting 5-17-89 ADR/Larry Jackson/Tom Parsons and
Other TU Representatives
REF: TU Final Plat
Mr. Tom Parsons, District Manager, TU Electric, expressed
his concern with having to pay street assessment for the
widening of Coppell and Thweatt Roads when they were
donating/providing the right-of-way for the widening of
the two roads. Mr. Parsons expressed the viewpoint that as
a franchisee of the city, they should be given consideration
for this relationship and should not have to donate/provide
right-of-way and also pay street assessments.
I have attempted to find some basis by which we could come
to agreement in this matter and suggested to Mr. Parsons
that if TU would: 1) pay the costs for relocating utilities
along Sandy Lake Road (the old Brazos Power & Light private
right-of-way), and 2) donate right-of-way to the City, then
in all likelihood, you would find this an acceptable trade
for the paving costs. Mr. Parsons indicated he felt this
would be acceptable to TU.
I have been concerned for some time that when the City
attempts to widen and pave Sandy Lake Road we would have to
pay for this privately acquired right-of-way. This proposed
trade appears to be favorable to the City of Coppell and
could save the City this possible expense. We recommend
that you attempt to secure and approve this arrangement at
the time you approve TU's final plat on June 13th.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments on
this agreement

Switching Station on a 3.407 acre site located on the
northwest corner of Thweatt Road and Coppell Road at the
requesu of TU Electric.
Date of P&Z Meeting: 3-16-89

providin~ the right-of way issue be resolved with
Staff prior to final platting; the wall issue be
resolve~ with Staff before final platting;
the landscaping issue be resolved with Staff. and
the applicant come forward with a compJeted plat for
final platting.
Russell Doyle, City Engineer, presented this item to the Council.
indicated the applicant is requesting three (3) variances which are
listed on the plat, and called to Council's attention the stipulations
and conditions provided by the Planning and 7oning Commission of their
recommendations for approval of this plat. Mr. Doyle indicated the City
is looking for additional right-of-way for Coppeil and Ihweatt Roads.
Mr. Mark Carpenter, representing the applicant, also spoke to the
Council on this item. He indicated a concern from Texas Utilities
regarding donation of additional right-of-way due to the fact that the
Federal Government and REA Commission would have to become involved and
approve any dedication of right-of-way at this site. For this reason
the applicant would prefer to grant some type of sn easement as opposed
to right-of-way. Following further discussion on this item, Councilman
Smotbermon moved that the plat be approved with the following variances:
~. The City will allow rock rather than concrete on thc yard; and
b. the City will allow rock rather than concrete on the driveway
~' with the exception that when the road is improved the driveway
will become concrete; and
c. the City will allow open ditch drainage until such time as the
~ road is widened, at which time the drainage will be enclosed;
and
d. the easement requirements will be worked out with staff prior to
final plat.
Councilman Wolfe seconded the motion; motion carried 6-0 with Mayor Pro
Tom Wilkerson, Councilmen Pettijohn, Morton, Smothermon, Wolfe and
~Te~mon votin~ in favor of the motion.
