Closes the benefit hearing, and 2. Levies the assessments as proposed, and 3. Acknowledges that in each case the abutting property is specially benefitted in enhanced value in excess of the amount assessed for the improvement of Truman Drive from Stalcup Road to Flemmings Drive. DISCUSSION: The 1986 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the improvement of Truman Drive from Stalcup Road to Flemmings Drive. The street has previously been constructed to City standards. Although the street is not located in a target area, it is in a qualified service area and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will provide a portion of the construction cost. One- and two-family residences are not assessed. Truman Drive will be constructed with standard concrete pavement. Standard concrete driveways and sidewalks will be built where shown on the plans. On November 19, 1991 (M&C G-9389), the City Council established December 19, 1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notice was given in accord with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes. An independent appraiser has provided a report that documents the enhancement to property values which results from the improvements. Based on standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is: Property owners' share of cost $ 23,040.58 ( 5%) City'•s'•s'hare"of cost $411,787.42 ( 95%) ~ ,Total~;cost;-;;in,~,,,r; $434,828.00 (100%) -~:. i ~ .i a~ Printed on recycled paper r rs ~~ i H,~ City of Fort worth, Texas ~ ,,:~~ Mayor and Council Camrrmunication DATE 12/10/91 REFEREN E NUMBER BH-0076 LO NAME 20BHTRUM PAGE 2 of 2 SUBJECT BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING TO FLEMMINGS DRIVE PROJECT N0. 67-040134 OF TRUMAN DRIVE FROM STALCUP ROAD It is staff's recommendation that the 200 feet maximum limitation not be applied to the properties owned by Western Bank and Trust and that the full 252 feet of Lots 7R through 11R, Block 19, Rosedale Park Addition, be granted the reduction to forty (40) percent of the TAD value of the property.
