Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/61201.8 - Ordinance
DATE: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 REFERENCE NO.: **L-16159
LOG NAME: 21 KELLER HASLET KNOX ACQUISITION
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Acquisition of Approximately 2.7 Acres of Vacant Land Located at 4400 Keller Haslet Road
and Park Vista Boulevard from Knox Street Partners No. 8 Ltd. in the Amount of $459,765.00 and Pay
$10,000.00 in Estimated Closing Costs, Dedicate the Property as Parkland Upon Conveyance as
Timberland Park and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Park Dedication Fees Fund in the amount of $469,765.00 from available funds for the property acquisition;
2. Authorize the acquisition of approximately 2.7 acres of vacant land located at 4400 Keller Haslet Road
and Park Vista Boulevard from Knox Street Partners No. 8 Ltd. in the amount of $459,765.00, and pay up
to $10,000.00 in estimated closing costs;
3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the appropriate closing documents and record
the appropriate instruments; and
5. Dedicate the property as parkland upon conveyance as Timberland Park.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to acquire land located in north Fort
Worth in accordance with the Neighborhood Community Park Dedication Policy and the Park, Recreation
and Open Space Master Plan, which calls for the provision of adequate park and recreational areas in the
form of Neighborhood Based Parks and Community Based Parks.
The Park & Recreation Department conducted an assessment of potential properties in north Fort Worth
for neighborhood park land acquisition. The proposed acquisition is located in Neighborhood Park Unit 6-
02 which is currently underserved in neighborhood based parkland. Upon completion of internal staff
assessment of various parcels, the site located at the southeast corner of Park Vista Boulevard and Keller
Haslet Road was found most suited for a neighborhood park. Because the site is centrally located
adjacent to multiple neighborhood subdivision developments and is fronted by a collector street to existing
neighborhoods with pedestrian access, it has been determined suitable for recreational amenity
development with good site conditions and available utilities.
Staff recommends acquiring approximately 2.7 acres of vacant land located at 4400 Keller Haslet Road
and Park Vista Boulevard from Knox Street Partners No. 8, Ltd to help meet an underserved need in this
sector of the City.

An independent appraisal was conducted and the property owner has agreed to the negotiated purchase
price of $459,765.00. The real estate taxes will be pro -rated with the Sellers being responsible for taxes
due up to the closing date. The mineral estate will not be acquired and the deed will contain a surface
waiver for the exploration of the mineral estate. Staff has obtained an environmental study and a survey of
the property.
The park will be held in reserve status until development occurs. The annual cost to maintain this parkland
in reserve status is estimated to be $8,663.00. When the park is developed, additional funding will be
requested for maintenance operations of the added facilities.
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be available
in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Park Dedication Fees Fund. The Director of Finance
certifies that parkland maintenance costs will not result in any additional appropriations in the Fiscal Year
2019 Budget.
