City of Fort Worth,, Texas
Lima Mayor and Council Communication
MATNIOR DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Euless-Fort Worth Boundary PAGE
NUMBER Adjustment (Q-71-17) 1
DOBBS 11/22/71 PZ-471 1 of —
The common boundary between the City of Fort Worth -and the City of Euless has
FARRING,o" been a problem for a number of years.. The problem was compounded when Oak
JCrest Estates and Huntington Place, both residential additions, began to
develop with some lots in Fort Worth and some in Euless.
Many letters from residents have been received requesting the area be deleted
from Fort Worth. A preliminary agreement has been reached for a boundary ad-
justment which includes the release of Oak Crest Estates and Huntington Place
to Euless.
Description of Boundary Adjustment
It is proposed that Fort Worth release to Euless all of-the platted residen-
tial area plus some expansion room,-along with some intervening acreage; and
that Euless release right-of-way in the access road complex which will serve
the Regional Airport, as shown on the-attached-map.
The proposed boundary adjustment is believed to be equitable and desirable
in view of the need for residents in the Euless service area to be in Euless
and for the approaches to the Regional Airport to be in Fort Worth's jurisdic-
tion.
The areas involved are:
1. Fort Worth to release to Euless - approximately 180 acres.
2. Euless to release to Fort Worth - approximately 310 acres.
Plan Commission Action
The Fort Worth City Plan Commission reviewed this proposal at its meeting on
Wednesday, November 3, 1971, and recommended that the Fort Worth City Council
approve the proposed boundary adjustment.
Euless City Council approved the adjustment in principle at its regular
meeting of November 9, 1971.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council 1) approve the proposed-bdund-axy
adjustment; and 2) adopt an ordinance discontinuing from Fort Worth the
area to be annexed by Euless.
