REED 6/30/69 NUMBER
PZ-339 V-69-22 I or 1
The Ryan Mortgage Company, owner of all abutting property, and the City of Fort
Worth Park and Recreation Department, the prospective purchaser, have requested
the City to vacate Dillard Avenue from East Rosedale south 594.53 feet to a line
206 feet north of Calumet Street along Lot B, Block 3, and Lot B, Block 2R,
Rosedale Plaza Addition as shown on the attached map.
This request is made to permit acquisition and construction of an urgently needed
playground site in this area. The Park and Recreation Department will not have
sufficient area for the proposed playground unless Dillard-Avenue is vacated.
Subject right-of-way, acquired by dedication, is not open on the ground. City
Departments have reviewed street requirements and have determined that subject
portion of Dillard Avenue is not needed for the following reasons:
1) Dunbar Junior High School, one (1) block west of Dillard Avenue would be
better served by Liberty Street from Rosedale.
2) Developing this property as a playground rather than a shopping center
eliminates the need for the street.
3) Construction of Andrew has provided access from Rosedale to this area, and
opening Liberty Street will make it unnecessary to provide additional access.
City Departments and private utility companies have reviewed this request and
have no objections, provided the vacated right-of-way is retained as a utility
easement.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed this request and recommends adoption of an
ordinance vacating the public right-of-way as requested, subject to the condi-
tion recommended above by the City Departments and private utility companies.
Recommendation
It is recommended that an ordinance be adopted vacating subject right-of-way
as recommended by the City Plan Commission.
