Re: Case #S-1041 (A) - SUP Application
Dear Mr. Sieb:
Pursuant to our conversation on February 26, 1993, I am writing to confirm 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. Ratlift, 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
lbllowing 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' easexnent 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 $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, such frontage
being shown on Exhibit C, attached hereto
Please confirm in writing that Brazos Electric's SUP application #1041 (A) is set on the
March 9, 1993 City Council Agenda, and that the City Manager and Planning
Department will recommend to the City Council that Brazos Electric's SUP application
be approved with the following conditions, in lieu of conditions 1 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 finished; 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 Electric's application for a Special Use Permit
at its March 9, 1993 meeting, this offer will be withdrawn.
Very truly yours,
i,,, '-,
