MUM" ROBINI ON
DAMS SANTA RRf At its regular meeting on September 2, 1975, the City Council received a
petition requesting that an area generally known as the Ella Young Lake
IV�kej Worth Addition be deannexed from Fort Worth. The Council referred the
Z , petition to the staff for investigation and report.
Val.S The area requested for deannexation is the same area annexed by Ordinance
No. 6460 on May 13, 1971, as shown on the attached Exhibit "A", and embraces
the Ella Young Lake Worth Addition, Epps Subdivision and unsubdivided por-
tions of the J. Wilcox Survey, Abstract No.' 1716. The area consists of
approximately 187 acres or about 0.293 square miles of land.
This area, located on the west side of Lake Worth, lies north and south of
Jacksboro Highway and is generally bounded on the east, south and north by
City-owned property and on the west by Rankin Road. The west right-of-way
line of Rankin Road is the common boundary line between the City of Fort
Worth and the Town of Lakeside.
This area was furnished most City services immediately upon annexation in
1971, and the services have continued up to the present date. City of Fort
Worth water and sewer lines have not been installed because there has been
no request from the property owners for installation of such facilities
under standard policies. There have been objections by the residents of
the area concerning the high rates for water charged by the City of
Lakeside. On August 12, 1974 (M&C G-2476) , a proposal to purchase the City
of Lakeside's water system located in the Ella Young Addition was not ap-
proved by the City Council. With the exception of water and sewer, City of
Fort Worth services to the area have been provided at a- level equivalent to
or higher than those provided in other comparable areas.
The attached report was considered by the Plan Commission at its regular
meetings on September•24 and October 29, 1975. In the review and analysis
of this matter, the Commission found the following:
Effect of Requested Deannexation on City
1. City would lose zoning and building inspection controls over develop-
ment.
2. Area would still fall within Fort Worth's extraterritorial jurisdiction,
therefore, would continue to be subject to requirements for platting
and development contained in the Subdivision Ordinance.
3. City would lose approximately $19,167 in ad valorem tax yield which
it is felt does not pay the cost of services now being rendered by
the City.
4. City would not have to make extraordinary future capital improvement
expenditures to provide water and sewer service to the area.

NUMBER Lake Worth Addition 2 2
12/15/75 PZ-711 or
Effect of Requested Deannexation on Ella Young Area Property Owners
1. Their water and sewer problems would not be solved.
2. They would lose all services now being rendered by the City.
3. They would not have to pay City taxes.
The Commission concluded that the cost of services to this area will always
exceed tax revenue received, therefore, it is not now nor will it ever be an
economic asset to the City. Because of the apparent negative cost benefit
ratio to the City and the fact that a majority of property owners (see
attached Exhibit "C") within this area signed the deannexation petition,
the Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that the
area be deannexed as requested.
Staff Comments on Plan Commission Findings
(1) The indicated loss of $19,167 in tax revenue would not be offset by an
accompanying reduction in City expenses, since it would not be feasible
to reduce staffing nor departmental budgets because of the deannexation.
Cost-revenue analysis, while being an important criterion for consider-
ing annexation-deannexation decisions, is not the only matter that must
be evaluated in arriving at a decision.
(2) The residents of the Ella Young Addition would still have the oppor-
tunity to utilize and enjoy certain City facilities and services such
as parks, libraries, fire protection, etc. All services would not be
lost as indicated in #2 above, "Effect of Requested Deannexation on
Ella Young Area Property Owners". There is no effective way to prevent
use of these facilities and services by persons residing outside the
City. Therefore, Ella Young residents would continue to receive the
benefits of these services but would be contributing nothing to their
upkeep should the area be deannexed.
Should the City Council' choose to deannex the petitioned area, it is pro-
posed that a triangular portion of the J acksboro Highway and Rankin Road,
as included in the area outlined on Exhibit "B", also be deannexed since
the areas adjacent would no longer be within the City of Fort Worth.
An ordinance providing for deannexation of the area in question has been
prepared and is available for Council consideration.
Recommendation
The Plan Commission recommends that the area outlined on Exhibit "B" be
deannexed.
