r The City Plan Commission at its meeting on March 24, 1971, recommended that
the City of Fort Worth annex 2.403 square miles of land lying southwest of
Lake Worth as shown on the attached map.
Development in Subject Area
In the portion of this area known as "Tejas Trails", residential development
has been occurring since about 1964 with no subdivision plat control.
Article 970a of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas gives cities the size of
Fort Worth, the authority to control subdivision plats within a five mile
radius of their corporate boundaries, which includes the Tejas Trails area.
This jurisdiction does not extend to zoning, building codes and utility in-
stallations. This provision of the law is being circumvented by selling
the property by metes-and-bounds descriptions without platting.
Development has accelerated in recent months with several new streets and
homes being constructed. At present, there are approximately 32 homes completed
or in the process of being constructed. In addition, the same type of develop-
ment is beginning to occur on other property in this area. With the construc-
tion of I-820 in this area in the next four to six years , it is anticipated
that development will accelerate.
Utility Services for the Area
A private company supplies water to the area and septic tanks are used for
sewage disposal. Most of the streets are gravel and in need of maintenance.
At a few points , the streets are hazardous and some of the grades are ex-
cessive. The County refuses to maintain these streets and has placed a sign
on White Settlement Road at the principal entrance to the area, to this effect.
Extending Fort Worth services and utilities to the area will be costly. How-
ever, the Plan Commission recommends annexation at this time since further
uncontrolled development will intensify the.. problems and increase the cost of
correcting them. This development .could also have an adverse effect on nearby
property located in Fort Worth, and could encourage similar development in
other fringe areas of the City.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council set May 3, 1971, as the date for a
public hearing on the contemplated annexation and that the staff be instructed
to place the required legal notices in the official newspaper.
