SUBJECT: ANNEXATION SERVICE PLAN PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR CERTAIN
PROPERTIES BETWEEN WALL PRICE KELLER ROAD, OLD
DENTON ROAD, TIMBERLAND BOULEVARD, AND US HIGHWAY 377
The August 12 and August 19 City Council agendas will include public hearings on the proposed
service plans for annexation areas 12 and 15 in the Far North sector. Area 12 contains 397 acres
and is not currently subject to new urban development, as no preliminary plats have been
submitted for the area. Area 15 encompasses 291 acres including five preliminary plats for single
family development, actively under construction at this time.
These two areas were identified in the 2007 -2011 annexation program for potential annexation in
2010 and are anticipated to contain more than 100 dwellings by 2010. The City was therefore
required to include them in the state- mandated annexation plan in 2007, in accordance with
Section 43.052 of the Texas Local Government Code.
Staff met with the affected property owners on October 24, 2007, to inform them of the
annexation process. On November 27, 2007, the City Council approved resolutions which added
these two areas to the annexation plan. State law requires a draft service plan to be prepared in
cooperation with other service providers and for this draft service plan to have two public
hearings. The attached PowerPoint and draft service plan provide additional information.
The service plans describe municipal services the City of Fort Worth will furnish to the annexation
areas. The following services will be available immediately upon annexation: police and fire
protection, emergency medical response, solid waste collection, water and sewer facilities,
roadway and street lighting maintenance, parts facilities, and library facilities. In addition, the City
will begin enforcement of ordinances through storm water regulation, code enforcement, health
inspections, building inspections, and zoning regulations. The service plans detail capital
improvement projects, which will be necessary to create adequate infrastructure systems.
Should you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Director, Planning and
Development, at 817 - 392 -8018.
