(M&C PZ-416, January 4, 1971) Under the terms of the Joint Resolution Fort Worth disannexed certain territory (M4C PZ-449, January 26, 1971), which Lakeside has now annexed. Lakeside dis- annexed certain territory by its Ordinance No. 42 on August 9, 1971. Two tracts were disannexed by Lakeside-the first consists of 23.8 acres on the northeast side of Jacksboro Highway and the second consists of 2.97 acres part of which is the right-of-way of Silver Creek Road and part of which is private property immediately adjacent on the west. In accordance with the terms of the Joint Resolution the territory disannexed by Lakeside is now available for annexation by Fort Worth. Immediate annexation of the 23.8 acre tract on the northeast side of Jacksboro Highway is recommended. Annexation, at this time, of the 2.97 acre tract is not recommended. Annexation of the Silver Creek Road right-of-way would create a right-of-way "island" re- quiring Fort Worth maintenance, the private property adjacent on the west would be very difficult to serve and annexation would require an awkward coupling corridor to connect up with existing Fort Worth city limits. Recommendation It is recommended: 1) That the Council set a public hearing to consider annexation of the 23.8 acre tract northeast of Jacksboro Highway, and 2) That the staff be authorized and directed to arrange the necessary publication. A copy of a map showing the Lakeside-Fort Worth Mutual Common Boundary Line and the 23.8 acre tract recommended for annexation and a copy of the City Council Annexation Timetable are attached.
