Re: Easement Variance Request
Dear Sirs:
Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. is in the process of purchasing a 0.249-acre tract of
• land situated in the L. McLaughlin Survey, Abstract No. 38, Brazos County, Texas. The
property is located on State Road OSR approximately li/2 miles in an easterly direction from
the intersection of Highway 6 and State Road OSR. The physical address is 2100 East OSR.
Brazos Electric is purchasing the 0.249-acre tract for a tower location to complete the
southern loop of its communication system. Brazos builds and maintains it's own
communication system to increase maintain reliability of the electric system by allowing 24
hour real time monitoring of all substations.
On the preliminary drawing (copy attached) that was returned to us by the County staff,
Brazos Electric is being asked to dedicate out several parcels of land for easements and
setbacks. The area be dedicated is 0.1487 acres (6477 square feet). The total amount of land
being purchased is 0.249 acres (10846 square feet). Brazos Electric, as the owner, would
have only 0.1003 acres (4369 square feet) of land that was unencumbered by easements or
setbacks.
Brazos Electric believes that dedication of all the easements as requested would be close to
making the site unfit for our intended use as a tower site. We feel that the boundary
easements are not necessary since we are not building any type of habitation or asking for
• any city of county services. We would like to propose that the setback restrictions and public
utility easement along the front of the property remain, but that Brazos County waive the
requirement for the remainder of the boundary easements.
Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., would respectfully request that the Brazos County
Commissioners Court approve this request for a variance in regard to the boundary
easements as shown on the attached plat.
Sincerely,
Senior Right of Way Agent
