The May 27 City Council agenda will contain an ordinance to approve the annexation of an
enclave in the Arlington Heights sector of Fort Worth. The property owner, Tarrant County, has
submitted a petition requesting annexation. 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 site contains 3.0 acres and is situated within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the
City of Fort Worth. The property is an enclave surrounded by the City of Fort Worth and the City
of Westover Hills due to a previous request by the City of Fort Worth that Westover Hills de-
annex this portion of right-of-way in 1975. The subject property is currently developed as the
existing Roaring Springs Road right-of-way north of Westover Drive and west of Burton Hill Road.
The land will continue to be used as right-of-way. Attached is a fiscal impact analysis and exhibit
map for reference.
Staff has conducted a fiscal impact analysis, which indicates the annexation will have a negati
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.
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. I

Director, at 817-392-8180.

water management services, including routine maintenance of public drainage
facilities. Any drainage deficiencies 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 in 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."
ci Water and Wastewater
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 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 ".
The owner - initiated annexation of the Roaring Springs Road ROW (AX -08 -003) has no final
plat on file as of April 27, 2008. Therefore, existing conditions, proposed right -of -way land use,
and future development 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 Public Health and Animal
Care and Control Departments, the fiscal impact 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. 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 eet the City's
ente a for i ll-- purpose annexation, staff r on x endis that the Roaring Springs Road ROW (,A-X-
08-003) be considered for ll -pu_l ose arinexedon at this time,
