Davis Re: 1vest Cannon Avenue City Hanager Closing from Dake Building Street to Sixth Avenue Dear Sir: Attached is a letter dated november 3, 1958, signed by i�br. Clay J. Berry, President of Harris Hospital, requesting the closing of Gt st Cannon Avenue from Lake Street to Sixth Avenue, as per plat attached. Hr. Berry states that Harris Hospital is the owner of all property on both sides of Cannon Avenue at this location and also the owner of all of block 8 and 9, Sandage Addition, and that the portion of Cannon Avenue to be closed will be an integral part of the hospital usage. The letter also states that in consideration of the approval of the closing, the Harris Hospital will convey to the City of Fort VJorth 17 feet of additional land for right-of-way along the north side of Cooper Street from Lake Street to Sixth Avenue and pay to the City of Fort Worth the sum of 53,360 for widening this part of Cooper Street from a 26 foot roadway to a 40 foot roadway. There are, at present, two structures that occupy a portion of the 17 foot strip of land on the north side of Cooper Street that Harris Hospital will raze prior to the actual closing and use of the closed portion of Cannon Avenue. The closing of this portion of Cannon Avenue has been under consideration for about three years after a rather complete study of their request. The Public Works Department advised these people that would be required before we could recommend the closing. They have now met these requirements and have so stated in the attached letter. We have recently checked with all utility companies and with the Traffic Engineer, 1r. T. R. Buckman, and find no one that opposes the closing. The Water Department has been paid u40 to adjust a two inch water line. The Lone Star Gas Company states they have no objection to the closing, but will expect the hospital to bear the cost of rearranging gas facilities in the block to be closed. It is thoroughly understood by all that the actual closing of Cannon Avenue from Lake Street to Sixth Avenue will not take place until Cooper Street over the same limits has been widened and paved with a 40 foot roadway. Under these circumstances, we respectfully recommend the closing of Cannon Avenue from Lake Street to Sixth Avenue, as requested, with the understanding that easements for existing utilities be retained until cleared by Harris Hospital, and that approval be given for the preparation of the ordinance, but the actual passage of the closing ordinance be deferred until the work on Cooper Street has been completed. iN:mle Yours ry tr , cc - T-ir.
