adjoining property for a multifamily development in North Cowtown Crossing; and

DISCUSSION:
Spiars Engineering and Surveying, on behalf of Ojala Holdings, has requested vacation of this prescriptive right-of-way for a 50-foot wide Tarrant
County road easement to be replatted with the adjoining property for a multifamily development in North Cowtown Crossing. The City Plan
Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on January 13, 2021. An acceptable final plat (FP-21-064) has been received
in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance.
The City of Fort Worth (City) originally obtained the above mentioned right-of-way through prescription. 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 road easement.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
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.
