DISCUSSION: The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March 1986, included funds for the improvement of Blackmore Avenue from Prevost Street to Neville Street. The existing street is a substandard HMAC pavement with some curb and gutter. It is in the Como Target Area and has never previously been constructed to City standards. Community Development Block Grant funds will provide a portion of the construction cost. On January 3, 1991 (M&C G-8983), the City Council established February 5, 1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in accordance with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes. The project is located in Council District 7. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS: It is proposed to improve this segment of Blackmore Avenue by constructing reinforced concrete pavement with attached curb over a lime stabilized subgrade. The finished roadway will be thirty-six feet wide on an eighty foot right-of-way. Concrete driveway approaches will be constructed where specified on the plans. ASSESSMENTS: This street has not previously been constructed to City standards and is located in a CDBG Target Area. In accordance with the Assessment Paving Policy, properties zoned and used for one- and two-family residences are not being assessed. An independent appraiser has advised the staff as to the amount of enhancement to property values that will result from the proposed improvements. Based on standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate and the advice of the independent appraiser, the cost of the construction has been computed at $9,894.00 (3%) for the property owners and $276,106.00 (97%) for the City of Fort Worth at large. The independent appraisal substantiates that, as a result of the proposed construction, each parcel of adjacent property will be enhanced in value by an amount equal to or greater than the proposed assessment.
