- KUB: We have reviewed our records and find that we have existing utility facilities located within the subject right-of-way. The approximate locations of these facilities are indicated on the enclosed prints. However, KUB does not release and hereby retains all easements and rights
for existing utility facilities, whether or not shown on these prints. Should this right-of-way be closed, KUB will require the following permanent easements for its
utility facilities.
Underground Electric - 7.5 feet on each side of the centerline of the electric line, 15 feet total width.
- AT&T does not have any facilities until we hit the KUB owned pole that is to the far east side of the affected area on Saint Paul St. It appears the pole and guy wires are outside of the shaded area, but would be hard to know for certain without a survey. If KUB does not have a problem with it then we will not either.
- TDOT has no comments as this is not a state right-of-way.
- The Fire Department had no comments.
