Coppell Switching Station SUP for Amendment to the Site Plan
January 15, 1993
I spoke with Mr. A1 Petter with Brazos Electric in Waco on January 15, 1993, concerning the
right-of-way dedications and escrows for this project. As you are well aware, there was an
agreement reached at the June 13, 1989, City Council meeting concerning the waiver of escrow
to be paid on this project. In return for the waiver, Brazos Electric and/or TU Electric agreed
to dedicate the right-of-way for Coppell Road, Sandy Lake Road, the old Brazos Light right-of-
way along Sandy Lake Road, and bear the cost of any relocation of their lines within that right-
of-way when Sandy Lake is improved.
Mr. Petter stated that it was their understanding that the dedication of the old Brazos Light right-
of-way along Sandy Lake would not take place until the Sandy Lake project was initiated by the
City. That project could take anywhere from five or more years to be initiated by the City. I
informed Mr. Petter that I was concerned that because of the tremendous time lag from the
agreement in 1989 to the future initiation of the project, there could be some communication
problems in the dedication of that Brazos Light line as right-of-way. I told Mr. Petter that I
would contact you to see if we could require that a note be placed on the face of the plat that
references the June 13, 1989 City Council meeting and the fact that the right-of-way along Sandy
Lake Road will be dedicated to the City and the power lines will be relocated at no cost to the
City when the Sandy Lake project is initiated.
I would be happy to answer any questions concerning this conversation.
