CITY. SERVICES. 2
AE.VELOPMEIdfw Schell Properties, with the written consent of all abutting property owners, has
requested that the City vacate the 2800-3000 blocl~:s of Grace Street a width of
JAyCsYI 50' from Premier Street southward to Kimbo Road.
The subject street right-of-way, acquired by dedication, is open on the ground and
contains water, sewer, storm drainage, electric, and telephone utility facilities.
'he subject vacation request has been submitted in order to permit the replatting
of the vacated right-of.-way with abutting property, so that the building area on
the abutting property can be expanded and more usable yard space can be provided,
including off_street parking area.
It is the opinion of the Real Property Department that the reasonable value of the
rights; title, and interest of the City in the land area comprising the Grace
Street right-of-way, extending from Kimbo Road to Premier Street and containing
a total of 68,000 sq ft, of land area, constitutes a total consideration of
$15,000 when said right-of-way is vacated and closed to the use of the general
public. The aforementioned monetary consideration has been placed in escrow in
accordance with information received from the Real Property Department Mr Bob
Bailey, representing the applicant, has requested by letter that this compensable
interest be waived and the monetary consideration refunded. A copy of the
letter is contained in the file of this case and is attached to this communication
Under the existing City policy, staff believes that $15,000 is a reasonable and
fair consideration and in the opinion of the Department of Law, a o~mplete waiver
would not be permissable.
The applicant's representative has also requested that the required replatting of
the east half of the previously described Grace Street right-of-way be delayed to
permit Tarrant County to carry out required procedures relative to their interest
in the east half of said right-of-way This can be accomplished only after the
City of Fort Worth has officially vacated the subject right-of-way. The Plan Com-
mission has recommended that the replat required for the east half of the right-of•
way be waived as requested Other reviewing City departments, private utility
companies, and pertinent parties have raised no objections to this request, sub-
ject to the west half of the right-of-way being replatted with adjacent property
and the entire right-of-way (both halves), being retained as utility easements for
the existing utilities A satisfactory replat, retaining and dedicating, as appro
priate, the necessary utility easements, has been submitted. All other require-
ments have been complied with.
As previously indicated, the City Plan Commission has reviewed this request and
recommends the right-of-way vacation as described.
