Addition
The owners of 396 acres of land (0.619 square miles) in the western portion
of Tarrant County have petitioned for annexation of the area to Fort Worth
and furnishing of City services.
The area, as shown on the attached map., fronts on Highway I-20 on the north
and is bounded by El Rancho Estates on the east, Linkwood Estates on the west
and unsubdivided land on the south.
The area is within the exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction. of Fort Worth
for annexation purposes and not subject to annexation by any other munici-
pality. A preliminary subdivision plat (S-75-21, Singing Hills Addition) has
been submitted and was approved by the Plan Commission on August 7, 1975.
Normal City services can be furnished the area without inordinate expense
or undue difficulty. Water and sewer can be extended into the area under
standard developer policies. When sufficient development occurs in this and
adjacent areas to Warrant such action, provision for an additional fire station
will be required.
At its regular meeting on October 29, 1975, the Plan Commission voted to
recommend to the City Council that the area be annexed as petitioned, subject
to 'concurrent execution of community facilities contracts for water and
sewer. The owner's engineer has confirmed that his client will be prepared
'to enter into such a contract with the City prior to the date of final
annexation.
A copy of the recommended City Council Annexation Time Table is also attached.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council initiate annexation proceedings
and authorize and direct publication of a Notice of Public Hearing on
Contemplated Annexation for a public hearing to be held December 8, 1975.
