The following is an update on the status of the relocation of the existing overhead utilities along the west side of
Beltline Rd. between Lakeshore Dr. and Wrangler Dr., as requested by the City of Coppell.
Per conversation with Tim Brancheau, TU Electric has relocated all overhead lines along the above referenced
site to the east side of Beltline Rd. TU Electric has, however, currently maintained ownership of the poles located
along the west side of Beltline Rd. Additional utilities are on the poles. We are currently in the process of verifying
which utility companies have facilities located on the TU poles.
Approximately three weeks ago, TU Electric topped the poles to a height just above the remaining utilities. It is our
understanding that the poles may be sold to the remaining utility companies 30 days after the poles are topped.
Per conversation with Gary Casteel, if GTE has facilities along the TU poles, the facilities may be relocated at no
expense to the property owner if the City of Coppell requests that the lines be relocated. Mr. Casteel is currently in
the process of verifying that GTE facilities are, in fact, along the west side of Beltline Rd.
We are currently in the process of contacting Paragon Cable and Southwestern Bell Telephone to determine if
.they have facilities that will be impacted. This information will be forwarded to you as soon as it becomes
available.
We Would request that the City of Coppell make a formal request to TU Etectric that the existing poles not be sold
to the remaining facilities' owners and that the poles be removed. We would also request that formal requests be
!' i · made to GTE and Paragon Cable for the relocation of their existing facilities along the west side of Beltline Rd. if,
in fact, they are present.
Please find attached sample letters for your use.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact me at your convenience at (214)
346-6248.
