It is proposed that consideration be given to the annexation of three county enclaves comprising approximately 0.43 square mile between Oakland Boulevard and Loop-820, north of the Turnpike and south of the Trinity River (see accompanying map) . These enclaves are surrounded by the city limits of Fort Worth and are subject to pending development. Annexation is proposed at this time for the following reasons: 1) To prevent undesirable development or deterioration 2) To provide general development guidelines as per the Meadowbrook Sector Plan 3) To aid police and fire calls by better establishing jurisdictional lines 4) To eradicate enclaves of unannexed land presently pocketed by the municipal boundaries of Fort Worth. City Plan Commission Recommendation In July, 1971, these enclaves were recommended for immediate annexation by the City Plan Commission. Municipal Services The City of Fort Worth can provide all municipal services. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City staff to initiate annexation proceedings as per the attached timetable on the three enclave areas. 1� RNL/je Attachments SUBMITTED BY: DISPOSITIO Y COUNCIL: PROCESSED BY APPROVED El OTHER (DESCRIBE) r CITY SECRETARY DATE CITY MANAGER 9-7/ ® OW mtu.0 NZOM PRO.- NOR W Mi 1 CORPORATE 1 U N I A R Y C H A N G E C I T Y OF F OR T W I 73 VVIA M��MloA R E A I F F 1 R T W 1 ,1 Previous Total City Limit Area sYfIT �I �!wa� fir, = ■ • • 117�Z73L7 L 1 - . �fPresent Total City Limit Area
