To the Mayor and Members of the City Council February 10, 2009

SUBJECT: ANNEXATION OF THE EXISTING BAILEY BOSWELL ROAD AND
.n BOWMAN ROBERTS ROAD RIGHT -OF -WAY IN THE FAR NORTHWEST
SECTOR
The February 17 City Council agenda will contain an ordinance to approve the annexation of a
portion of an enclave, identified as 23 -1 in the annexation program, in the Far Northwest sector of
Fort Worth. The area to be annexed contains 6.5 acres and is a portion of the Bailey Boswell and
Bowman Roberts Roads right -of -way. The remainder of the enclave is subject to an agricultural
exemption development agreement, per State law and will not be annexed at this time. Tarrant
County has submitted a petition requesting that we annex the right -of -way. This request meets
the criteria defined in Texas Local Government Code Section 43.028 for owner - initiated
annexation and will not require public hearings. The land will continue to be used as right -of -way.
Attached is a fiscal impact analysis and exhibit map for reference.
The fiscal impact analysis indicates the annexation will have a negative impact on the General
Fund and will require capital improvements to upgrade the roadway. However, the area is
classified as an enclave, and the annexation policy does not require enclaves to produce a
positive fiscal impact due to the efficiencies gained in service delivery. In addition, the annexation
policy states that the City will annex any right -of -way that is adjacent to and provides access to
property within the City. This section of Bailey Boswell Road and Bowman Roberts Road meets
this criterion. Staff has determined that the City is able to provide municipal services upon
annexation in accordance with State law, without negatively impacting service provision within the
city. Annexation of this site is thus consistent with the City's annexation policy.
The annexation, if adopted, will be an addition to Council District 7.

Director, at 817- 392 -8180

to Parks
o Area would be added to the North operations district of the Parks and Community
Services Department
ci If the area is annexed, an additional 1.57 miles of rights-of-way will be added within
the annexed area, to be maintained by the City. An additional $5,886.00 in funding
will be required annually for the additional maintenance. An Agreement may be
required between the City and Developer and/or Homeowner's Association to
maintain additional plantings on medians or rights-of-ways, if any.
Li Library
• Area to be annexed consists of 6.5 acres currently used as right-of-way.
• This area is developed for non-residential purposes only; therefore. Library service
estimates are not warranted.
Li Animal Care and Control
o The Animal Care and Control Division would provide full animal and rabies control
services with response based on priority. This area is currently serviced through a
contract with Tarrant County for limited rabies control. As long as the property
remains mostly vacant, costs should be limited to about $ 100 per year.
Solid Waste / Environmental
ci Service to single-family and duplex residential units in this annexation area would be
provided through the existing City residential solid waste contract. Customers would
pay monthly charges through their water bill that cover the direct and indirect costs
of these services.
o Private service providers at the discretion of the customer may continue to provide
solid waste collection services for businesses and multi-family dwelling complexes
having three or more units. Private solid waste collection providers must have an
active Grant of Privilege issued by the City of Fort Worth to provide service within
the city limits.
o Storm Water Quality Protection services will be extended at no anticipated additional
costs directly related to this annexation.
i Storm Water Management (Drainage)
o Any drainage deficiencies in this right-of-way-only annexation will be added to the
City's capital needs list and will be funded according to priority as funds become
available.
o All storm water facilities installed in the right-of-way by adjacent new developments
will be at the developer's cost, with size and configuration based upon the drainage
study provided by the developer's engineer. Any City participation on storm, water
facilities will be in accordance with the "Installation Policy of Community
Facilities,"
zi Walter and Wastewater

Fiscal Impact Analysis Bailey Boswell & Bowman Roberts Roads ROW AX-09-001
o The property in question is currently developed as right-of-way, and water and sewer
extensions will be installed by the Developer in accordance with the "Policy for the
Installation of Community Facilities". Existing, water and sewer lines are located
Z�l
within the right-of-way.
o All water and wastewater facilities will be at the developer's cost. Water and sewer
line sizes will be determined based upon the water/sewer study provided by the
developer's engineer. Any City participation on water and sewer facilities will be in
accordance with the "Installation Policy of Community Facilities".
Summary
The owner-initiated annexation of the Bailey Boswell and Bowman Roberts Roads (AX-09-001)
has no preliminary plat or concept plan on file as of December 29, 2008. Therefore, existing
conditions, right-of-way land use, and future growth were considered while assessing the financial
impact to the General Fund. This land is currently not taxed and produces property tax revenue of
approximately $0 annually. Based on the projected revenue for this property and operating costs
projected from the Police, Code Compliance, Transportation and Public Works, and Animal Care
and Control Departments, the fiscal impact for the first year of annexation would be negative to the
General Fund. Assuming conditions remain constant, this area is eligible for annexation as an
enclave, under the Annexation Criteria and Procedure section of the Annexation Policy. Therefore,
due to the enclave status, this development warrants the anticipated cost of City services, assuming
current tax rates.
Water, Sewer, Storm Water, and Solid Waste Funds will not be impacted because those Funds will
recover costs from their customers, and revenues will equal expenditures or offset expenditures.
Additionally, all on-site storm water, water, and wastewater facilities will be at the developer's cost.
Therefore, due to the enclave status of the property and the ability of the area to meet the City's
criteria for full-purpose annexation, staff recommends that the Bailey Boswell and Bowman Roberts
Roads ROW (AX-09-001) be considered for full-purpose annexation at this time,
