Mr. Weldon G. Ward, President, Dominion Properties, Inc., has requested
annexation of 64.9594 acres into the City of Fort Worth. The property is
contiguous to Fort Worth's City limits.
The subject property is within the exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction
(ETJ) of the City of Fort Worth. No common boundary adjustments with other
cities will be required for annexation. See attached map (Exhibit "A") and the
Staff Information Report.
History
Prior to August 21, 1980, the subject site was within the Fort Worth City
limits. However, by Court order, effective August 21, 1980, in the lawsuit
styled Dick Hyde, et al vs. City of Fort Worth, Cause No. 153,50552-78, 409.6
acres of land was disannexed from the City of For Worth, including the subject
cite. The Judgement in the subject lawsuit declared that the City of Fort
Worth had failed to provide the area in question with governmental and
proprietary services, the standard and scope of which are substantially
equivalent to services furnished in other areas of the City which have simuilar
characteristics of topography, land utilization and population density.
The City's ability to serve this site has greatly improved since 1980. The
completion of Eastchase Parkway and its interchange at I-30 have improved
accessibility. In addition, a new fire station has been located at Morrison
Drive and John T. White Road and water and sewer has been extended to serve
nearby newly developing areas.
The Development Review Committee recommended approval of the subject annexation
request on January 24, 1985. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of
the proposed annexation on January 30, 1985. No requests for platting or
zoning have been submitted for the site. However, when the subject property
was within the Fort Worth City limits, it was zoned "A" Single Family and "AG"
Agricul~tur-e.
f
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Annexation
Timetable in order to annex the subject property in compliance with the
requirep~ents of Article 970a of the Revised Civil Statutes of the State of
Texas. APPROVED BY
