TARRANT COUNTY KEY MAP City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Recommended Annexation — PAGE NUMBER 3/1/71 Seven "Enclave" Areas Iof 2 PZ-427 The City's POLICY FOR REVIEW OF ANNEXATION AND DEANNEXATION'REQUESTS, states that "land will be considered for -annexation when its proximity tb the City, the rate of growth of the City, and -other factors indicate that annexation of the area would aid the City's growth and development, or when annexation is required to guard against uncontrolled development not consistent with long-range land use needs of the area." The areas proposed for annexation in this report are bounded on at least two sides by the City of Fort Worth; some are virtually surrounded by Fort Worth. These areas are subject to development at any time, with the exception of the City -operated Southeast Landfill site (Q-69-7). Because of the proximity of all the areas proposed to be annexed to the City of Fort Worth, it would be desirable for the City to have that control which only annexation can provide for the following reasons: (1) To prevent undesirable development or deterioration (2) To guide development as per present and/or pending plans, viz. The Preliminary. Plan for the 1980 Urban Area,,.se qor plans, district plans (3) To aid police and fire calls by,better establishing jurisdic- tional lines (4) To eradicate enclaves of unannexed land presently pocketed by the municipal boundaries of Fort Worth (5) To bring municipally owned and/or operated territory within the city limits. A "Report on Proposed Annexations" is attached which outlines in_greater detail considerations concerning this annexation proposal and includes reprints of commission and departmental reports, and detailed maps of the areas proposed for annexation. Proposal It is proposed that consideration be given to'the annexation of the following referenced and described areas: Q-66-23: A 0.640 square mile enclave in Meadowbrook Sedto-r, generally bounded on the north by Meadowbrook Drive, on the west by Cooks Lane, on the south by U.S. Highway 80 (East), and on the east by Village Creek. Q-69-7: Two tracts totaling 0.26 square mile located east of Forest Hill and west of Kennedale (the Southeast Landfill site). DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Recommended Annexation — PAGE NUMBER Seven "Enclave" Areas 2 2 3/1/71 PZ-427 of Q-69-20: A 0.132 square mile rectangular tract located northeast of the Greater Southwest International Airport site and generally bounded on the north by Highway 183, on the east by the Tarrant -Dallas County Line, and on the west and south by airport property. Q-69-21: A 0.296 square mile enclave located east of the Village of Lakeside and surrounded on three sides by park property. Q-69-22: A 0.08 square mile triangular enclave located, outh of Saginaw and generally bounded on the west by U.S. Highway ;o. 81 on the east by the C.R.I. & G. Railroad. Q-69-25: A 0.9 square mile tract generally bounded on the north by U.S. High- way 80, on the west by Marys Creek North, on the south by Marys Creek and on the east by proposed I-820. Q-69-26: A 0.184 square mile tract located west of Westwood Addition, east of the new Hulen Street extension and north of the Santa Fe indus- trial tract. City Plan Commission Recommendation In May, 1969, and January, 1971, these areas were recommended for annexation by the City Plan Commission. Municipal Services The City of Fort Worth can provide all municipal services, including police and fire protection, to all of the areas proposed for annexation., However, in areas Q-69-20 (the GSIA enclave) and Q-69-21 (the enclave east of Lake- side Village) it would be difficult to provide water and sewer facilities. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City staff to initiate annexation proceedings on the areas reported herein.
