Mayor a IL1/ ®r and Council Communication @RAOAM HUMAN elf WV ikG46 REFERENCE SUBJECT: Arlington -Fort Worth PAGE �/a12�73 NUMBER Common Boundary 1 of 2 PZ-543 The staffs of the cities of Fort Worth and Arlington have conducted extensive negotiations to establish a recommended common boundary line agreement between the two cities. An agreement on a proposal was reached between the two staffs at a meeting on January 25, 1973. At its regular meeting on Tuesday evening, February 6, 1973, the Arlington City Council adopted a Joint Resolution establishing a common boundary line between Fort Worth and Arlington. The Arlington Council, at the same meeting, initiated proceedings to discon- tinue certain territories to make them available for annexation by Fort Worth. It is recommended that the Fort Worth City Council adopt the Joint Resolution establishing the common boundary line as described herein and initiate action on the following to effectuate the proposed boundary adjustments. The significant features of the common boundary line agreement are: 1) Arlington will disannex areas necessary to Fort Worth for expansion of the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. 2) Arlington will discontinue a 200 acre tract purchased by Fort Worth and used for sludge drying beds. 3) Arlington will discontinue lake frontage property between the present Arlington -Fort Worth city limit line and the Arlington Lake Shore (at normal pool elevation 550 feet mean sea level) on the west side of Lake Arlington. 4) Fort Worth will discontinue the Greenman property south of the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and east of Village Creek. 5) Fort Worth will discontinue the area to be platted as Inter- lochen Addition to Arlington in the Village Creek flood plain between Meadowbrook Drive on the north and U. S. Highway 80 East on the south. 6) Fort Worth will discontinue all Lake Arlington water frontage below normal pool elevation 550 feet mean sea level. 7) A tract of land east of the Arlington -Bedford Road and north of the Trinity River will be subject to annexation by the City of Fort Worth. These steps will have the following results: 1) Permit the City of Fort Worth to acquire land necessary for the expansion of the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Arlington -Fort Worth PAGE NUMBER 2/12/73 PZ-543 Common Boundary 2 Of 2 2) Fort Worth's Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and sludge drying beds will be all in Fort Worth and not partially in Arlington. 3) All of Interlochen Addition will be in Arlington. 4) The entire west shore of Lake Arlington will all be in Fort Worth. Consummation of the agreement and the subsequent corporate area exchanges will increase the capability of rendering services to its citizens by each city, alleviate existing policing, land use control and development problems and expedite the needed expansion of the Village Creek Plant. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council: 1) Adopt the Joint Resolution, 2) Adopt an ordinance discontinuing territory from Fort Worth as pro- vided in the resolution, and 3) Instruct the staff to initiate annexation on the areas discontinued by Arlington.
