Re: Extension of SUP for TXU Electrical Delivery Substation
Dear Marcie:
The Coppell City Council unanimously approved a zoning change request for Case Number S-1217-LI
on 9 November 2004. The zoning change provides for a Speciai Use Permit that allows for the
construction of an electrical substation on 4.3 acres of prope~'Y on Southwestern Boulevard.
Subsequent to that action, an ordinance was prepared by staff and ratified by the City Council on 14
December 2004.
City rules, however, require that a building permit be issued or an extension be granted by City
Council. To that end, TXU ED respectfully requests an extension of the SUP for an additional eighteen
months. This will allow for continued project development by the Transmission and Distribution
divisions of the company that coordinate this project. The electrical substation provides a necessary
service for the City of Coppell and involves significant construction development not generally
associated with private industry.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter and answer any questions that you might have. I
hope that this can be placed on an agenda as soon as possible.
Cordially,
Dallas Cothrum, Ph.D.
