Dunaway Associates, on behalf of Cook Children's Medical Center, has requested vacation of a portion of this alley and public access
easement to be replatted with the adjoining property for a new parking garage and hospital expansion. The City Plan Commission recommended
approval of these requests at its meetings on August 26, 2020 and October 14, 2020. An acceptable final plat (FS-20-201) has been received in
accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance.
The City of Fort Worth (City) originally obtained the above mentioned right-of-way through plat dedication. The City does not own any fee interest in
the rights -of -way or own any property adjacent to the right-of-way and did not expend any City funds to purchase the right-of-way easement. In
accordance with the City's policy regarding street and alley vacation transactions approved by the City Council on March 6, 2007, Mayor and
Council Communication (M&C G-15624), staff recommends waiving the fair market value or any portion thereof of purchase price of this right-of-
way easement for the alley or the public access easement.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.
