A letter has been received from Mr. Tom H. Law, representing Nive,r West.erpr, Wear,
Inc. , who requests that a 1928 building line restriction be removed or adjusted
to permit expansion of the existing plant at 1221 Hemphill Street, and increase:
its work force in Fort Worth.
t*x'opo,�eedd Plant Expansion
'river Western Wear proposes to build new improvements on Lots 7, 8, 9 and 10
,n Block; C/18 In Wray's Subdivision of Field's - Welch Addition (See reaps
attached). Enforcement of the 1928 building line ordinance, however, would
.require a 10 foot: set-back from the property line and a 20 foot set-back
from the curb line of existing 54 foot wide paving on Hemphill.
,,Justification for Building Line
When the building line was established in 1928, Hemphill was the majo?°
highway and thoroughfare route to the South Side. Enforcement of the
b�,x:ilding line permitted city widening of the street at reduced costs during
the Late: 1930's and early 1940'8. Since the initial widening, the building
line has been preserved to improve sight distance on the street, reserve
an 80 ;foot right-of-way, and prevent new construction at intersections
which would perpetuate off-sets or prevent signal modernization and inter,-
section channelization. The building line restriction, as established by
ordinance, extends from Vickery Boulevard on the north to Felix Street t.),n
the south.
Need for Building Line at Magnolia
Corrstruct;i.on of the North-South Freeway and development of other, parallel,.
thoroughfares to the South Side have diminished the need for widening
Hemphill in the future, Unless the street is reopened through the abandoned
Army Dep�,)t to Loop 820, there will be little need for widening in thi,,, i,1t �r+ .
l rJra.
major need for the building line at the intersection of Magnolia and
Hempbil;l, just, south of the 1200 Block, of Hemphill, is to permit the fut.tr'e
cha:,,;rneli,zation. and signal modernization of the intersection. Acco:rdt„n.g to
Traffic Safety records, there were 29 accidents at the location in 1964,
wbI',;h ranks 'it. 18th among all. accident: prone intersections in the City, and
ranks it 9th when the. number of accidents are weighed in comparison with
the: number of vehLcles using the intersection.
Tiae;re: is also a 10 foot off-set: of center lines on Hemphill at the location.
beca,tise. of the intersection off-set, and the need for future channel i.zat.ilon..
to prevent accidents, the Traffic Engineer recommends that the building,,
line be preserved for -at-, Least: 1.50 feet north of Magnolia in the 1200. Bl v k;
of Hemphill.. ll°e 'iarxil,ding site proposed by Niver Western Wear extends from,

150 feet north of Magnolia to 250 feet north of Magnolia, beyond the minimum
building line requirement requested by the Traffic Engineer.
Agildi= Line Lemoyal
The need for future channelization and modernization of the intersection at
Hemphill and Magnolia justifies retaining the existing building line for a
minimum of 150 feet north of Magnolia in the 1200 Block of Hemphill.
In order to preserve building lines at the intersection, it is proposed
that an ordinance be adopted repealing the building line on a portion of
the east side of Hemphill in the 1200 Block. The affect of the ordinance
would be to remove the building line restriction on Lots 1 through 10,
Block C/18, Wray's Subdivision of Field's - Welch Addition.
Adoption of the proposed ordinance is recommended.
