RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
1. Adopt an ordinance vacating an alley, 17 feet wide by 136 feet long , adjacent to Lot 1, Lot 2 and a
portion of Lot 3 , Block 2 , J.T. Blanchard Subdivision and an alley 16 feet wide by 216 feet long, adjacent to

3. Hunter Equity, LLC and Hunter DG Hemphill , LP , Developers from this project on which the land is
located will receive a refund of the elig i ble NEZ Funds pa id.
DISCUSSION:
On September 1, 2009 the City Council approved Ordinance No . 18780 (M&C-PZ-2835) authorizing the
vacation of the above referenced alleys provided that an agreement between Hunter Equity, LLC or its
affiliates and the City be executed and on file in the City Secretary's Office by October 1, 2009 . The
ordinance vacating the alleys became null and void upon the fa i lure by the parties to file an agreement with
the City Secretary's Office by the specified date.
Jones and Carter , on behalf of Hunter Equity , LLC , has renewed the request for the vacation of the above
referenced alleys in order to replat with the adjoining properties to build a new Dollar Store. The City Plan
Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on April 22 , 2009 . An acceptable replat
(FS-09-067) has been received. Any existing utilities will be relocated at the appl icant's expense , or
retained within a designated easement, along with an appropriate plat note that no permanent structures
may be constructed or placed thereon .
The City of Fort Worth (City) o riginally obtained the above mentioned alleys through the platting process .
The city does not own land under or adjacent to the above referenced right-of-way. Since no city funds
have been expended to purchase property or easement rights , collection of the fee value or any portion
thereof is recommended by staff to be waived.
This land is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Serv ices Director certifies that this act ion will have no material effect on City
funds.
