SUBJECT: .., ~inc 5 17 89 ADR/Larry Jackson/Tom Parsons and
O%her iU Representatives
Mr. Tom Parsons, District Manager, TU Electric, expressed
his concern with having to pay street assessment for the
widening of Coppell and !hweatt Roads when they were
donating/prcviding 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 iU 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.
