Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No.3 Question No. ASB-17 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: In the EA on page 6-10 and Figure 6-2a, the Willow Lane Condominiums (Condominiums) is described as containing 24 units. How many of the 24 units are owned by separate individuals? RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Charles T. Jasper. The EA is in error; the Willow Lane Condominiums contains 22 individual units. Based on information obtained prior to the filing of the CCN Application from Dallas Central Appraisal District, Commercial Accounts Summary and the Dallas County deed records, each of tile units is individually owned. Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No.3 Question No. ASB-18 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: In the EA on page 6-10 and Figure 6-2a, the distance from alternate route 1 to the Condominiums is stated to be 129 feet. Is 129 feet the distance from the project centerline only to the closest individually owned unit with the Condominiums? RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Charles T. Jasper. The referenced 129 feet is the approximate distance from the alternative route centerline and the closest edge of "Building BU , 1601 Marsh Ln., obtained by PBS&J during ground reconnaissance activities utilizing a Bushnell Yardage Pro Laser Ranging System. This building contains a total of 12 units. Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No.3 Question No. ASB-19 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: If the answer to ASB-18 is "yes," what is the approximate distance to the furthest individually owned unit within the Condominiums? RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Charles T. Jasper. The Willow Lane Condominiums includes five buildings. Each of the buildings are identified by letter, A, B, C, D, and E. Each building also has a unique address. Building A is designated 1609 Marsh Ln. Building B is designated 1601 Marsh Ln. Building C is designated 1603 Marsh Ln. Building D is designated 1605 Marsh Ln. Building E is designated 1607 Marsh Ln. Because each of the five buildings within the condominiums are single structures comprised of individual units, it is impossible for Oncor Electric Delivery Company to know where an individual unit ends and the next begins. Building A (1609 Marsh Ln), Building D (1605 Marsh Ln), and Building E (1607 Marsh Ln) are each outside 200 feet of the centerline of Alternative Route 1. Building C (1603 Marsh Ln) is within 200 feet of the centerline of Alternative Route 1. This building contains 10 units. Building B (1601 Marsh Ln) lies partially within 200 feet and partially outside 200 feet of the centerline of Alternative Route 1. This building contains 12 units and some portion of the total number of units lies within, and some portion of the tetallies outside, 200 feet of the centerline of Alternative Route 1. The closest unit in Building C (1603 Marsh Ln) is approximately 137 feetfrom the centerline of Alternative Route 1. Each of the units within Building C is within 200 feet of the centerline of Alternative Route 1. The closest unit in Building B (1601 Marsh Ln) is estimated to be 129 feet from the centerline of Alternative Route 1 and the furthest, at least partially, lies in excess of 200 feet from the centerline of Alternative Route 1.

In support ofits requests, Addison would show the fullowing: On Janllaly 10,2003, Addison requested to inteIvene in this docket through its Mayor, who acting pro se, submitted Addison's request fur intervention to the Commission's Customer ProtectionDivision afterthe procedural schedule hadbeen set and after Order No.2 hadbeen sentto the parties. OnJanllaly 15, 2003, Addison's request was filed with CenttalRecords andwas granted onJanllaly 22,2003. Addison's Ma)/Qr, due thepro.renature ofhis involvement, was not aware of the deadline for filing a request fur transferto SQAH, or its significance, until after the deadline had passed. The undersigned counsel was retained only yesterday, when Addison realized that specialized counsel was needed. This docket shouldbe transferred to SOAR. There is no question thatthe legal rigIm;, duties, or privileges ofparties to this proceeding, including Addison, will be impacted by this docket.

The deadline for requesting a transfer to SOAR was Jlmuary 27, 2003, seven days prior to the original deadline for Staff's Recommendation in this case. The deadline for Staff's Recommendation has been moved to March 7, 2003. Addison's current request fortransferis now 21 days prior to the Staff's Recommendation in this case.

Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No. 1 Question No. ASB-01 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: In Table 1 of the Application, the summer area electrical load for year 2002 is an estimate. Please prepare a revised table incorporating the historical load for the year 2002. RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Michael J. Juricek. Table 1 Year Area Load (kW) 1998* 457,400 1999* 464,000 2000* 455,400 2001* 439,700 2002* 429,100 2003 475,300 2004 484,900 2005 491,000 2006 500,400 2007 510,300 2008 520,200 *Historical Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No.1 Question No. ASB-02 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: On page 5 of the Application, it was claimed that the area load is projected to grow at "about 2.4 percent annually." Please recalculate the projected load growth utilizing the year 2002 historical load values in Table 1. RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Michael J. Juricek. The recalculated load growth is approximately 3.3%. Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No. 1 Question No. AS8-03 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: In Table 1 of the Application, the historical summer area electrical load generally declined between the years 1998 and 2001 and then increased significantly from 2001 to 2002. Please explain the reasons for those trend fluctuations. RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Michael J. Juricek. The decline in load was primarily due to load transfers and lower than expected ambient air temperature. Load was transferred from the substations included in Table 1 to other substations not included in Table 1. These load transfers were needed to prevent overloading of the substations. The summer ambient air temperature was not the same each year. The load is sensitive to the air temperature, with higher temperatures causing higher load due to the amount of air conditioning load. The load forecast for 2002 was developed assuming expected conditions such as ambient air temperature. Much of the increase was due to 2001 actual conditions being different than the expected conditions, e.g., the actual air temperature in summer of 2001 was lower than expected. Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No.1 Question No. ASB-04 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: If the proposed transmission line were to be constructed in Alternative Route 1, would the existing distribution line right-of-way be utilized? RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Charles T. Jasper. Yes. If the proposed transmission line were to be constructed along Alternative Route 1, the existing line right-of-way would be utilized. However, an additional easement would need to be obtained for the transmission line. Oncor Electric Delivery Company would underbuild the existing distribution on transmission line support structures. It is anticipated that a distribution support structure would be required between each of the transmission line support structures to support the distribution conductors at mid span. Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No.1 Question No. ASB-OS Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: If the proposed transmission line were to be constructed in Alternative Route 1, what provision would be made for the existing distribution line? RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Charles T. Jasper. The existing distribution line could be underbuilt on the transmission line support structures. It is anticipated that a distribution line support structure would be required at mid span between the transmission line support structures to support the distribution conductors. Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No. 1 Question No. ASB-06 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: In Segment B of Alternative Route 4. please describe any existing overhead electric distribution lines paralleling and adjacent to Realty Road or Arapaho Road? RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Charles T. Jasper. At the present time, no overhead electric distribution lines are parallel and adjacent to Arapaho Road along Segment B of Alternative Route 4. Oncor -Docket No. 27030 Staff RFI Set No.1 Question No. ASB-07 Page 1 of 1 REQUEST: What is the estimated project cost should Altemative Route 1 be utilized instead of the Alternative (preferred) Route 4? Please detail the individual cost components in a table similar to the estimated costs table found on Page 4 of the Application. RESPONSE: The following response was prepared by or under the direct supervision of Charles T. Jasper. Oncor Electric Delivery Company prepared a preliminary cost estimate for the project which included the use of Alternative Route 1 as the route of the proposed transmission line. The total project cost was estirnated to be approximately $5,589,317. Approximately $2,856,017 of this amount is associated with the cost of Substation Facilities and approximately $2,733,300 is associated with Transmission Facilities. Following is an approxirnate breakdown similar to that found on Page 4 of the Application. Right-of-Way (easement and fee) $ 814,000 Materials and Supplies 716,105 Labor and Transportation (utility) o Labor and Transportation (contract) 699,000 Stores 30,349 Engineering and Admin.

More specifically, Mr. Humann claimed that OsteoMed had "at no time been notified about this plan from Oncor Electric Delivery Company or the Public Utility Commission.',l Order No.3, issued in this docket on January 22, 2003, requires Oncor to "review the address information and file a response to OsteoMed's allegations regarding the absence of notice,,2 by January 30, 2003. Although Oncor is uncertain as to the source of OsteoMed's confusion, as explained more fully below, OsteoMed has been aware of the Proposed Project since at least July 15, 2002, and likely prior to such date. Furthermore, Oncor has fully complied with the I OsteoMed Letter, p.2. 2 Order No.3, p. 2. RESPONSE TO ORDER NO.3 -p. 1 requirements of P.U.c. Procedural Rule 22.52.

The list of recipients included OsteoMed. The address for OsteoMed (3750 Realty Road, Addison, Texas 75001-4311) was obtained from the files of the Dallas Central Appraisal District. OsteoMed's notice was not returned to Oncor as undeliverable. 2. No less than 16 representatives of OsteoMed attended a meeting organized by the Town of Addison concerning the Proposed Project. Oncor conducted a special meeting on July 15, 2002, at the request of the Town of Addison. The Town of Addison invited property owners along Arapaho and Realty Road to attend.

The first picture clearly shows the address for OsteoMed as "3750." Oncor represents that the photograph was taken on Realty Road on January 17, 2003. However, the second photograph is even more telling. Such photograph shows the document taped to the OsteoMed door at 3750 Realty which clearly states that OsteoMed's "NEW ADDRESS 3885 ARAPAHO ROAD," is "effective December 23, 2002" (emphasis added). Again, formal notice of Oncor's Application was provided to directly affected landowners on November 27, 2002 --thirty-one days prior to the "effective date" of OsteoMed's new address. III. CONCLUSION Given the foregoing, it is unclear to Oncor how OsteoMed could claim that it had no knowledge of Oncor's Proposed Project. It is undeniable, however, that Oncor complied with all 3 Procedural Rule 22.S2(a)(3). RESPONSE TO ORDER NO.3 -p. 3 requirements of Commission Procedural Rule 22.52 and that OsteoMed had actual notice of Oncor's Notice in time to meet the intervention deadline. Oncor sincerely hopes that the foregoing information clarifies the issue raised by OsteoMed and looks forward to working with OsteoMed and all of the other parties as this docket proceeds.

These are the Jar e X eet hi h metal towers that will negativelv impact the aesthetics ofour community and your business. The preferred TRANSMISSION LINE ROUTE being submitted by Oncor, not the Town of Addison, will extend the new transmission line from the existing substation, located near the Surveyor/Arapaho intersection, westerly for some 2,750 feet to Venture Avenue in Carrollton before tuming northward to the DART Rail Une spur. The power structure will be placed along the north side of the newly constructed Arapaho Road. (See the attached map and photo for more information). The second preferred TRANSMISSION LINE ROUTE being submitted by Oncor, which Is the Town ofAddison's preferred route, would extend the new transmission line from the existing substation, located near the Surveyor/Arapaho intersection, north the the DART Rail Line spur and then westerly for some 6,400 feet to Columbian Club Drive in Carrollton. The power structure will be placed along the south side of the DART Rail Line. (See the attached map and photo for more information). The third TRANSMISSION LINE ROUTE being submitted by Oncor, not the Town of Addison, would extend the new transmission line from the existing substation, located near the Surveyor/Arapaho intersection, south to Belt Line Road and then westerly for some 6,350 feet to Columbian Club Drive in Carrollton. The power structure will be placed along the north side Belt Line Road. (See the attached map and photo for more information). Obviously, from the .above descriptions, the 1st and 3m options would have a visual impact on each of these two corridors. However, we still have the ability to file an "Intervention Request" with the Texas PUC by January 13,2003. Therefore, I would like to organize a meeting of all of the affected business owners and representatives in these affected areas so that we can address the PUC in one large vocal group. This is definitely a situation where numbers matter. So please mark your calendar for January ???? at nnto gather at Town Hall to prepare a petition that will be submitted to the PUC. Please call with any questions. Landowners and Transmission Line Cases at the PUC ,Public Utility Commission ofTexas 1701 N. Congress Avenue P.O. Box 13326 Austin, Texas 78711·3326 (SI2) 936-7261 www.puc.state.IX.us Effective: January I, 2003 􀁾J. . 1 PURPOSE OF THIS BROCHURE This brochure is intended to provide landowners with infonnation about proposed new transmission lines and the Public Utility Commission's process for evaluating these proposals. At the end of the brochure is a list ofsources for additional information. The following topics are covered: • How the Public Utility Commission (pUC) evaluates whether a new transmission line should be built, • How you can participate in the PUC's evaluation of a line, and • How utilities acquire the right to build a transmission line on private property. You are receiving the enclosed formal notice because one or more of the routes for a proposed tmnsmission line may require an easement or other property interest across your property, or the centerline of the proposed project may come within 300 feet of a house or other habitable structun:o on . your property. (This distance is expanded to 500 feet if the proposed line is greater than 230kVv or greater voltage.) For this reason, your property is considered directly affected land. This brochure is being included as part ofthe formal notice process, If you have questions about the proposed routes for a transmission line, you may contact the utility company to obtain a more detailed map of the proposed routes for the transmission line and nearby habitable structures. The PUC is sensitive to the impact that ttansmission Jines have on private property. At the same time, transmission Jines deliver electricity to millions of homes and businesses in Texas, and new lines are sometimes needed so that customers can obtain reliable, economical power. The PUC's job is to assess the utility's proposal and the positions of the parties, and to decide whether a proposed transmission line should be approved. The PUC values input from landowners and encourages you to participate in this process. puc TRANSMISSION LINE PROCEEDING Texas Jaw provides that most utilities must file an application with the PUC to obtain a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) in order to to build a new transmission line in Texas. The law requires the PUC to consider a number of factors in deciding whether to approve a proposed new transmission line. The PUC may grant a CCN after considering the following factors: • Adequacy of existing service; • Need for additional service; • Effect of granting the certificate on the local utility and any utility serving the the route parallels property lines or other natural or cultural features; • Whether the route conforms with the policy of prudent avoidance (which is defined as the limiting of exposures and magnetic fields that can be avoided with reasonable investments of money and effort); and • Other factors such as community values, recreational and park areas, historical and aesthetic values, environmental integrity, and the probable improvement of service Or lowering of cost to consumers in the area. Ifthe PUC deems a line should be approved, it will grant the utility's application to construct the transmission line. Utility Application for CCN: CCN: A utility's application for approval of a CCN describes the proposed line and includes a statement from the utility describing the need for the line and the impact of building it. The application also Errett;ve, January 1, 2003 includes a route designated by the utility as a "preferred route"; however, any of the proposed routes may be selected by the Commission. The PUC conducts a proceeding to evaluate the need and impact of the proposed line and to decide whether to approve it. Landowners who would be affected by a new line can participate in the case in the following ways; • informally, by filing a protest, or • formally, by intervening in the PUC proceeding. FUin.g II Protest (in/ormal comments): If you do not wish to intervene in a CCN proceeding, you may file colUments. An individual or business or a group who files connnen!s for or against any aspect of the utility's transmission line application is considered a "protestor." Protestors make a written or verbal statement in support of or in opposition to the utility's application and give information to the PUC staff that they believe supports their position. Protestors are not parties to the case, however, and do not have the right to; • Make discovery requests and obtain facts about the case from other parties; • Receive notice of a hearing, or copies of testimony and other documents that are filed in the case; • Receive notice ofthe time and place for the negotiations; or • File testimony andlor cross-examine witnesses; • Appeal the PUC's decision to state district comt. If you want to file comments, you may either send written connnents stating your position, or you may make a statement on the first day ofthe public hearing. Although public comments are not treated as evidence, they help infonn the PUC and its staff ofthe public concerns and identitY issues to be explored. The PUC welcomes such participation in its proceedings. case and may have certain legal rights as a directly affected landowner, including the right to participate in the case and any settlement or mediation relating to the case and the right to appeal any decision of the PUC. To become an intervenor, you must file a statement with the PUC requesting intervenor status (also referred to as a party). This statement should descnbe how the proposed transmission line would affect your property. Typically, intervention is granted only to directly affected landowners. A sample form for intervention and the filing address are attached to this brochure, and may be used to make your filing. Ifyou decide to intervene in a case, you will be required to follow certain procedural rules: • Yau are required to respond to discovery requests from other parties who seek information about your position. • Ifyou file testimony, you must appear at a public hearing 􀁾be cross-examined. • Ifyou file testimony or other documents in the case, you must send copies of the documents to every party in the case. Stages ofII CCN Proceeding: If there are persons who intervene in the proceeding and oppose the approval of the line, the PUC will refer the case to an administrative law judge (AU) at the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAR) to conduct a hearing. The hearing is a formal proceeding, much like a trial, in which testimony testimony is presented, and the ALJ makes a recommendation to the PUC on whether the application should be approved. ;;ufEffective: January 1. 2003 I There are several stages of a CCN proceeding: • The ALJ holds a pre-hearing conference (usually in Austin) to set a schedule for the case. Parties to the case have the opportunity to conduct discovery; that is, obtain facts • • is (usually in Austin),•and parties have an opportunity to crossexamine the witnesses. • Parties file written briefs concerning the evidence presented at the hearing. • The ALJ makes a recommendation, called a proposal for decision, to the PUC Commissioners reprding the case. Parties who disagree with the ALJ's recommendation may file exceptions. • The Commissioners discuss the case and decide whether to approve the utility's application. The Commissioners may approve the ALJ's recommendation. approve it with specified changes, send the case back to the ALJ for further deny the • rule on the motion for rehearing, parties have the right to appeal the decision to district court in Tnvis County. RIGHT TO USE PRIVATE PROPERTY Before building a transmission line on private property, the the utility must obtain the right to enter the land and use it for the transmission line. They typically do this by obtaining an easement from the landowners. Easements convey certain rights to the utility from a landowner. Utilities may buy easements through a negotiated agreement, but they also have the power of eminent domain (condemnation) under Texas law (Texas Utilities Code § 181.004). Local courts, not the PUC, decide issues concerning easements for rights-ofway. The PUC does not determine the value ofproperty. The PUC Final Order in a transmission case normally requires a utility to take certain steps to minimize the impact of the new transmission line on landowners' property and on the environment. For example, the order nonnally requires steps to minimize the possibility oferosion during construction and maintenance activities. HOW TO OBTAIN MORE INFORMATION The PUC's online "Interchange" provides free access to documents that are filed with the Commission in Central Records.

ADEQUACY OF EXISTING SERVICE AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICE 14. State the reason for the proposed construction. The Fanners Branch -Carrollton -Addison area (Area) is located in the northwest corner of Dallas County, and is roughly bounded by the Dallas North Tollway on the east, 1-635 on the south, 1-35 E on the west, and Trinity Mills Road on the north (see Figure 1. included as Attachment No.4). This Area is served by the Addison, Carrollton Josey Lane, Carrollton Upfield, Carrollton Tarpley Road, Fanners Branch, Carrollton and Fanners Branch Gillis Road Substations. Long distribution feeders (feeders) from these substations are used to serve-load in the center of the Area. The summer electrical load in the Area is projected to grow at about 2.4 percent aunually over tlie next seven years (see Table 1). 5 Table 1 Year i Area Load (kW) I 1998* 457,400 : ! 1999* 464,000 I 2000* 455,400 , 2001* 439,700 2002 465,900 2003 475,300 2004 484,900 2005 491,000 : 2006 500,400 2007 510,300 i 2008 520,200 I *Histoncal This growth in load is due in part to a favorable business climate that is attracting companies to the Area. The new industriallcommercial developments are attracting residential development and supporting light commercial development. Ifsubstation and distribution facilities are not upgraded, the growth in load is projected to cause the loading on the Farmers Branch Gillis Road and Carrollton Tarpley Road Substations to be 101 percent and 102 percent oftheir ratings, respectively, under normal conditions (all facilities in service) during the summer of 2006. These overloads are projected to increase as the load in the area continues to grow beyond 2006. Also, four distribution feeders, three extending west from the Addison Substation and one extending southwest from the Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation, are projected to be loaded from 101 percent to 104 percent oftheir maximum continuous ratings under normal conditions during the summer of 2006. Operating these facilities above their ratings can cause damage to them that would remove them from service. This could result in curtailment of service to customers until repairs are completed. The proposed 138 kV double-circuit transmission line and the Carrollton Country Club Substation are planned for installation prior to the summer load season of 2006 to prevent the overloading of substation and distribution facilities described above. This substation will be located in an area that is remotely surrounded by the existing substations and served by long feeders from these substations (See Figure 1, included as Attachment No. 4). Four of these feeders are the ones projected to, be overloaded in 2006. Three short feeders will be built to transfer about 28,000 kW of load to Carrollton Country Club Substation from the two overloaded substations and four overloaded feeders, thereby eliminating the projected overloads. The resultant feeders will be shorter than the original feeders. This will improve reliability by reducing the exposure to outages of the feeders and reduce electric power losses. The upgraded distribution system will be more capable of restoring service to customers after the outage of a feeder. 6 15. List the options that were considered and the reasons for rejecting them. Option No.1 -Increase transformer capacity at Addison Substation and build new distribution feeders. The installation of a third transformer at Addison Substation and additional distribution feeders from Addison Substation into the Area before the summer load season of2oo6 would relieve the projected overloads. This option was not selected because it would be less reliable than the proposed project. Long feeders would still be used to deliver electricity to the center of the Area. Longer feeders generally have a higher probability offorced outages due to the increased exposure to the causes of outages (lightning, vehicular collisions, construction accidents, etc.) when compared to shorter feeders. Longer feeders typically serve more customers than shorter feeders so more customers are affected by a single outage. The cost of this option, in 2005, 2006 and 2007, would be greater than the cost ofthe proposed transmission line and substation by about $3,510,000. The new feeders needed to connect the third transformer at Addison Substation to the existing distribution system must be constructed in an underground duct bank due to the lack of available overhead feeder routes. Additional undergronnd feeders would be needed as more load is served by Addison Substation. The cost difference would continue to increase as more long underground feeders are built to serve growth in load. Option No.2 -Increase transformer capacity at Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation and build distribution feeders. The installation of another transformer and additional distribution feeders from Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation into the Area before the summer load season of 2006 would relieve the projected overloads. This option was not selected because it would be less reliable than the proposed project. Long feeders would still be used to deliver electricity to the center of the Area. Longer feeders generally have a higher probability of forced outages due to the increased exposure to the causes of outages (lightning, vehicular collisions, construction accidents, etc.) when compared to shorter feeders. Longer feeders typically serve more customers than shorter feeders so more customers are affected by a single outage. The cost ofthis option, in 2005, 2006 and 2007, would be greater than the cost of the proposed transmission line and substation by about $4,726,000. The new feeders needed to connect the new transformer at Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation to the existing distribution system must be constructed underground due to the lack of available overhead feeder routes. Additional underground feeders will be needed as more load is served by the Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation. The cost difference would continue to increase as more long underground feeders are built to serve growth in load. 7 Option No.3 -Construct transmission line from the west. The proposed Carrollton Country Club Substation could be served by a new 138 kV double-circuit line constructed from the N.W. Carrollton -Norwood 138 kV Line which is west of the proposed substation. This option was not selected because the new line would be about three times the length of the proposed line and would cost more to construct and affect more property owners. The proposed project (the double-circuit 138 kV line and Carrollton Country Club Substation) was selected because it relieves the projected overloads and improves service reliability better than the other options considered. It is better than options No. 1 and No. . , 2 because it locates a substation closer to the load and improves reliability by shortening the length of some of the feeders. The proposed project also costs considerably less than options No.1. No.2. and No.3. COMMUNITY VALUES 16. List any permits or approvals required by other governmental agencies for the construction of the proposed project. Indicate whether or not permits have been obtained. Response: A cultural resources survey plan will be developed with the Texas Historical Commission. 17. Provide a general description of the area traversed by the proposed project. Response: The proposed transmission line will traverse primarily flat urban land that is heavily developed with commercial bUildings, retail buildings, and light industrial buildings.

List all residenCies, businesses, schools, churches, cemeteries, hospitals, nursing homes or other habitable structures within 200 feet·of the center line of the proposed transmission line .. Response: A total of 63 habitable structures are located within 200 feet of the centerline of the preferred·transrnission line route (Route 4).
