SUBJECT. Authorize Contract for Sale with Current Residential Lessees of City-Owned Lake Worth
Lease Addition Lots for Fair Market Value and Authorize Contemporaneous Lease
Amendment to Provide for a Shorter Term and the Disposition of Improvements Upon
Expiration (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to:
1. Enter into a Contract for Sale with current residential lessees of City fee-owned Lake Worth Lease
Addition platted residential lots for a sales price that is fair market value as determined by an
appraisal by a certified appraiser; and
2. Enter into a Lease Amendment, contemporaneously with the Contract for Sale, with current
residential lessees of City fee-owned Lake Worth Lease Addition lots to amend the lease to provide
for a shorter term and the disposition of the improvements upon expiration.
DISCUSSION:
In 2000, the City of Fort Worth mailed letters to Lake Worth Lease Addition lessees of record offering
an option to purchase the land if the leased lot met the specified conditions of(1)their lot(s) being
platted and (2) connection to either municipal water or sewer. Multiple lots could not be platted at that
time and the lessees of those properties were never offered the option to purchase due to
deficiencies associated with the property which caused non-compliance with platting requirements.
Additionally, some of the lessees on properties that met the conditions of the City's offer for the option
to purchase did not enter into the Purchase Option Agreement with the City or lost the option due to
not adhering to the option Agreement conditions.
Lessees of platted and un-platted residential City-owned Lake Worth Lease Addition properties are
requesting to purchase the leased land on which they have put improvements. The current residential
leases expire in 2032 and per the lease terms the City is required to purchase improvements at fair
market value at that time. The current residential Lake Worth Lease Addition lease terms do not
authorize the sale of the land to the current lessee or the extension of the lease.
This Mayor and Council Communication will provide for current lessees of residential City-owned lots
in the Lake Worth Lease Addition whose lots meet platting conditions, and who comply with the
conditions outlined below to be eligible to purchase their leased lot from the City at the fair market
value determined at time of the purchase.
Conditions of Purchase:
Property must be platted at the expense of the lessee.
Lessee must hire an approved appraiser to obtain a fair market value appraisal of the land to be
conveyed.
Lessee must execute a Lease Amendment that provides for a lease termination date that is the
earlier of (i) closing on the purchase of the property or (ii) 18 months after the date of the
amendment at which time the improvements would become property of the City.
Lessee must execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement contemporaneously with the Lease
Amendment requiring a closing date of no more than 18 months from the date of execution.

required, it will be provided by the lessee at the time of contract execution.
