Mr. Johnson showed on the revised plan
where several large trees were that he
would like very much to save. He also
showed where he would move the fence.
Mr. Johnson had letters from some of
the utility companies regarding the 5
foot utility easement he would be
encroached on. TU Electric stated
they have electric lines running under
the slab, but they would allow his
slab over their lines as long as Mr.
Johnson provides a spare conduit
running along the side of the slab in
the easement for future use in case of
a failure. They said they must have 2
-2 inch, schedule 40, gray PVC conduit
run in a ditch 36 inches deep and they
must inspect his ditch and conduit
prior to him covering the ditch. Mr.
Johnson had letters from Lone Star Gas
Company, Sammons Cable Company, and
City Utilities stating they do not
have utility lines within this
easement. He did not have a letter
from Southwestern Bell, but he stated
they have no problem because it was
aerial. He showed on his plan where
the line ran. Sammons Cable stated
that if in the future Sammons
Communications, Inc. deems it
necessary to use said easement,
Sammons will be held harmless and
indemnified for any and all damages
incidental to the use of the easement
by the property owner of record. This
letter is to allow the property owner
use of the land covered by the
easement while possessing the
knowledge that said easement may be
used in the future with no liability
for necessary damages to the property
owners improvements or any liability
for the encroachment in to the
easement at any time for any reason to
be assumed by Sammons Communications
Inc.
Mr. Bunting asked Mr. Johnson to show
where each of the neighbors lived who
sent letters in favor of this plan.
