the first installment,which shall be due and payable on the date said installment matures, provided that any
_owner shall have the right to pay any and all of such installment at any time before maturity by paying princi-
pal with interest accrued to the date of payment,and further provided if default be made in'the payment of
any installment promptly as the same matures, then at the option of the City of Fort Worth or its assigns,the

authorized only in instances where the owner or owners of property abutting upon such completed and accepted
unit shall have executed and delivered to the City of Fort Worth a lawful,valid and binding note and mechanic's
and materialman's contract upon forms supplied by the City granting a mechanic's lien upon and conveying
the said abutting property in trust to secure the payment by said owner or owners according to the terms there-
of of the sums assessed against such property.

of which, as well as the principal and interest on the assessment, shall be a first and prior lien against the
property, superior to all other liens and claims except State,County,School District,and City ad valorem taxes.

invalidate any assessment or any certificate issued in evidence thereof, and the omission of improvements on
any particular unit or in front of anv property exempt by law from the lien of special assessment for street

ASSESSMENT PAVING AT
21 LOCATIONS, SOUTHEAST SIDE
Project 097-24000-140
RESUME OF THE PROJECT
A neighborhood Hearing was conducted by the Engineering Division at the Glen Park
Elementary School Auditorium on September 8, 1965, for Assessment Paving at 21 Locations
on the Southeast Side, Project 097-24000-140. The procedures concerning owner partici-
pation in the cost of paving, including methods and policies of determining assessments,
street construction standards, and method of payment were explained to the 65 persons
in attendance.
UNIT 1, HUNTING DRIVE - E1 Rancho Road to Trueland Drive
In October of 1955, Seven property owners adjacent to the proposed opening of Hunting
Drive between E1 Rancho Road and Trueland Drive, a distance of approximately 1,600
feet, petitioned the city to "construct, establish grades and extend" the street to
provide access to interior lots, improve traffic circulation in the area and provide
more direct access to Glen Crest School which is located about one block west of El
Rancho Road at Eastline Road. The City Council authorized $12,400 for the project on
November 21, 1956 for storm drains, land acquisition and grading, provided the adjacent
property owners contributed $9,877 for required street materials.
The project was delayed until 1960 by difficulties in acquiring seven parcels needed
for right-of-way, including eminent domain proceedings for two parcels. On December
30, 1960,the City Council again considered the entire project and determined that it
should proceed only if the property owners contributed funds on a "developer partici-
pation basis". Representatives of the Glen Crest Civic League then appeared objecting
to the decision, upon which the Council rescinded its action of December 30. On March
31, 1961 the- Council reaffirmed the basic terms of the 1956 agreement, provided the
property owners paid for an upgraded street specification of hot mix asphaltic con-
crete on a crushed stone base, instead of triple course penetration on a gravel base
permitted in 1956.
Property owners then attempted to assemble in escrow sufficient funds for the paving
materials, but by letter of November 12, 1963 they advised the Public Works Department
that the funds could not be gathered. The project was abandoned until April 22, 1964
when a petition representing 50.6 per cent of the abutting property (but only 6 of 22
property owners on the proposed street) was received requesting paving on the assess-
ment basis. Processing of the project was delayed until the location of major water
transmission mains in the area was determined. The Water Department now advises that
no major mains will be located in the street.
Much of the interior lot area to be served by the street opening is vacant and subject
to development; however, the ownership is highly divided. Adjacent owners who are
unable to resubdivide or develop new lots are generally opposed to the project. Absen-
tee owners and most of those gaining lots for development either favor or do not oppose

the project. The Public Works Department included the project because the percentage of
cost distribution is approximately the same as provided in the original agreement (both
the City and property owners shares have doubled) and because the paving fulfills the
spirit of the agreement approved by the City Council in 1956 and reaffirmed in 1961.
David E. Marsh, 2744 Timberline Drive, the owner of the east 70.2 feet of Lot 2, Block
A, Nell Adams Subdivision, stated he was opposed to the opening and paving of Hunting
Drive.
Mrs. Bernard C. Ackert, 4801 E1 Rancho Road, the owner of Lot 1, Block lencrest
Addition, asked why Hunting Drive was being opened and paved. It was explained to
Mrs. Ackert that the paving was proposed as the result of a petition by owners of
abutting property.
William E. Brazier, 2720 Timberline Drive, the owner of Tract 8F, M. Watson Survey,
requested that he be placed on the record as opposed to the paving.
UNITS 2, _3. 4, and 5, - COLLM STREET - Shackleford to Erath to Tallman to Nolan to
Foard.
Mrs . Allen J. Mallory, 4433 Foard, Lot 6, Block 1, Cobb's Orchard Addition stated that
on March 8, 1965, she had applied to the City Plan Commission for permission to sub-
divide her lot and was refused and as a consequence she was opposed to the paving.
Investigation discloses that the subdivision of Lot 6 was reviewed and denied by the
Plan Commission because it would result in non-conforming buildings on the new lots.
Mrs. L. J. Perry, 4500 Nolan, the owner of Lot 6, Block 12, Cobb 's Orchard Addition,
stated she could not afford the paving. She was advised that the City would be willing
to discuss arrangements for an extended payment plan in order to relieve any financial
hardship as a result of the paving improvements.
Mr. James V. Blackwell, 4445 Nolan, Lot 6, Block 12, Cobb's Orchard Addition, stated
he had not worked for eight months and that he could not pay for the paving even if the
payments were extended over a period in excess of 49 months. Mr. Blackwell was also
invited to discuss special financial arrangements with the staff.
UNITS 6 and 7, TALLMAN STREET - Howard Street to the north line of Lot 3, Block 13,
Cobb's Orchard Addition
No objections to the paving were stated at the hearing.
UNIT 8, BROOKLINE AVENUE - Trentman Street to 330 feet east
No objections to the paving were stated at the hearing.
UNIT 9, ARBOR AVENUE - Brookline Avenue to Miller Avenue
Mr. K. J. Lee, 4100 Arbor, Lot 9, Block 10, Trentman City Addition, asked that he be
placed on the record as opposed to the paving.
UNITS 10 and 11, FLAMINGO ROAD - Algerita to Arbor to Brookline
A 54 inch Water Department Transmission main is proposed for construction in this section
of Flamingo Road in 1967. Deferment of the paving is proposed for these units until
after the installation of the water main. See Attachment A-1.

UNITS 12 and 13, BROOKLINE AVENUE - Miller to Flamingo to Nell
Brookline Avenue, (Unit 12) from Miller to Flamingo, and (Unit 13) from Flamingo to
Nell, were initiated by the City to provide paved access to Flamingo, and a paved
connection on Brookline between Miller Avenue and Nell Street. Because Flamingo
Road is proposed for deletion, it is also proposed to delete units 12 and 13 of
Bro-11 ine until such time as petitions are received or Flamingo Road is again initia-
ted as a paving project. See Attachment A-1.
UNITS 14 and 15, DUROTHY ROAD - Laster to Vesta Farley to David Strickland Road
An area petition for paving Durothy Road, Units 14 and 15 and Laster Road, Unit 16
was sponsored by the P.T.A. of W. M. Green Elementary School. Residents in the
Sun Valley Addition located east of I.H. 820 must cross the freeway at the overpass
at Laster Road to reach the school. The paving of Laster Road and Durothy Road will
provide paved access from the freeway west to the school. See Attachment A-3.
Mr. E. C. House, who is a real estate appraiser representing the Weisenberger Company,
the owner of Lots 20 and 21, Block 2, Weisenberger City Addition stated they did not
request or desire the paving at this time and that in his opinion the enhancement to
the property would not equal the paving cost. The property was assessed at residential
rates with side lot credit granted.
As a result of Mr. House's statements concerning property enhancement, the Public Works
Department retained the services of an independent outside real estate appraiser to
estimate the increase in value to side lot properties on Durothy Road. The appraisals
obtained have been evaluated by the staff and a reduction in assessments is justified
with the exception of Lots 21A and 22B, Block 1, Weisenberger City Addition. This
property has been sub -divided and replatted to form two lots fronting on Durothy Road
and is subject to assessments without side lot credit. The replatting has resultied:
in Lot 22B becoming a corner lot with side lot on Vesta Farley Road, If Vesta Farley
Road is paved in the future this lot will receive the same consideration for assessment
reductio n as the side lots on Durothy Road now being assessed.
The Public Works Department recommends reduction in paving assessments on the following
side lots on Durothy Road in the amount representing the difference between the
standard assessment and the estimated increase in lot values.

A reduction in assessments as recommended would increase the City's share of paving costs
for Units 14 and 15 by $1,330.00.
Mrs. John R. Rivers, 5418 Durothy Road, the owner of Lot 22B, Block 1, Weisenberger
Addition, stated she was in favor of the paving.
Mrs. Charles A. Richardson, 5418 Durothy Road, the owner of Lot 1, Block 11,
Weisenberger City Addition, stated she was opposed to the paving and inquired if it
would be possible to change the west service road adjacent to I.H. 820 from one-way
traffic to two-way traffic. Mrs. Richardson was advised that the Public Works and
Traffic Engineering Departments could not recommend a change in the one-way traffic
on the service road. The freeway was designed with one-way service roads in order
to provide maximum traffic safety and a change such as suggested would expose the public
to unwarranted traffic hazards.
UNIT 16, LASTER ROAD Durothy Road to the west line of I.H. 820
Gertrude Holt, 5321 Laster, the owner of Lots 27, 28, 29 and 30, Block 11,Weisenberger
Addition, stated her property was valuable and she desired the street be paved. Mrs.
Holt also expressed an interest in obtaining sewer service. She was advised that the
Water Department was ready to install a sewer line in Laster Road provided the property
owners would pay their share of the cost as determined by standard community facilities
policies.
Mrs. E. V. Reid, 3032 Lomita, the owner of Lots 41 and 42, Block 11, Weisenberger City
Addition, requested information as to whether water and sewer service would be made
available to property on Laster Road. Mrs. Reid was advised that the Water Department
did not plan to install the services in advance of paving because the property was vacant,
but that the service could be provided back of the curb in the future when the adjacent
land is developed.
UNIT 17, FREDDIE STREET - From the south line of Lot 8, Block C, Castleman Addition to
Baylor Street
No objections to the paving were stated at the hearing.

UNIT 18, FITZHUGH STREET - From 245 feet west of Donalee to Donalee
Mr. Joe F. Jones, 3824 Fitzhugh, the owner of Lot 7, Block 2, L. S. Byrd Subdivision,
stated that even though he signed the petition he considered the paving costs too
high. He stated that the paving of Donalee Street cost about $0.80 a front foot. Mr.
Jones was advised that Donalee Street was a penetration asphalt street which was pre-
viously permitted under lesser paving standards. This cost of $0.80 did not include
excavation, gravel base material, and curb and gutter. It was explained that penetration
type street construction has resulted in numerous paving failures and often requires
complete reconstruction. Although a majority of original petition signers have reversed
position, the Public Works Department recommends closing the short unpaved gap and
providing continuous pavement on Fitzhugh between Donalee and Sydney Street.
t
Mr. E. B. Kelly, 3816 Fitzhugh, the owner of Lot 5, Block 2, L. S. Byrd Subdivision
stated that he preferred a hot topped street similar to Donalee Street and that by
raising the paving standards he was deprived of the choice of paving. Mr. Kelly
stated the people have no voice in the matter and that the City Council was forcing
them (the residents being assessed) into something they did not want. Mr. Kelly was
advised that the neighborhood hearing was held for the express purpose of allowing
property owners to voice their opinions and that their comments are considered and
help to guide the City Council in its decisions.
UNIT 19, LINDSAY STREET - From 400 feet south of Avenue H to 525 feet south
Lindsay Street was petitioned for paving by Mr. E. A. B(per, the owner of Lots B and C,
Ethan Boyer Subdivision. At the time the petition was bubmitted to the Public Works
Department it was Mr. Boyer's intention to improve his property. Mr. Boyer has advised
the staff that he now has no plans to build on the property and no longer desires the
pavement. Since the paving would only serve to extend a dead end street by 125 feet and
would serve no improved property the Public Works Department concurs in Mr. Boyer's
request that the street not be paved. See Attachment A-2.
UNIT 20, CARVERLY AVENUE - From Texas Electric Company R.O.W. to Maceo Lane
No objections to the paving were stated at the hearing.
Carverly Avenue was initiated as a paving project in response to a request by Texas
Electric Service Company. This small section of unpaved street constitutes a short
paving gap and the lack of curb and gutter encourages public useage of the company
right-of-way for motor vehicle traffic as well as off street parking.
UNIT 21, WILKES .STREET - From I.H. 820 to Briery Street
Mr. D. J. Fenn, Lot 18, Block 5, Wilkes Estates Addition inquired if anything was to
be done to improve drainage. Mr. Fenn was advised that a storm drain system was proposed,
with inlets located at the intersection of Wilkes and Briery.

Petitions have been received for paving the above streets, except for the
following: Collin Street (Unit 2), Tallman Street (Unit 7), and Brookline
Avenue (Unit 8, 12, & 13). These streets were initiated by the City to pro-
vide for continuous paving and better flow of traffic in the area. Durothy
Road (Units 14 & 15) and Laster Read (Unit 16) were initiated by the City in
response to an area petition sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association of
W. M. Green Elemdntary School. Residents in the Sun Valley Addition east of
I.H. 820 use Laster Road and Durothy Road to reach the school. The project
will provide paved. access west of the freeway to the school. Carverly
Avenue (Unit 20) was initiated by the City in response to a request by the
Texas Electric Service Company, in order to control vehicular trespass of
the company's right-of-way. The project will also close a paving gap on
Carverly Avenue between Maceo Lane and Alexander Drive.
Proposed Deletions
Following processing of petitions for this project, it was determined that a
54 inch water transmission main is proposed for construction in the Flamingo
Road right-of-way in 1967 (CIP B-21). It is therefore proposed that Flamingo
Road (Units 10 and 11) and intersecting blocks of Brookline Avenue (Units 12
and 13) be deleted from this project.
A valid petition was received for paving Lindsay Street (Unit 19), but the poll
card survey indicates that the original petition signers are now opposed to the
paving. Because property owner support has been withdrawn and the street is
deadend providing no neighborhood circulation, it is proposed that the Lindsay
Street paving be deleted from the project.
