SUBJECT JOINT ORDINANCE AND BOUNDARY AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF WHITE
SETTLEMENT TO ADJUST THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN FORT WORTH AND WHITE
SETTLEMENT CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 11.97 ACRES BELONGING TO
THE CITY OF WHITE SETTLEMENT IN THE AREA EAST OF NORTH LAS VEGAS
TRAIL AND SOUTH OF SHORE DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve the attached Joint Ordinance and Boundary Agreement with the City of White Settlement
concerning 11.97 acres belonging to the City of White Settlement in the area east of North Las
Vegas Trail and south of Shore Drive; and
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the attached Joint Ordinance and Boundary Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
On May 9, 1972, the City of Fort Worth entered into a 25-year lease agreement with the City of White
Settlement covering, a 31.284 acre tract of land situated along the east right-of-way line of Las Vegas
Trail, and north and south of both Heron Drive and Shore Drive at their intersection of Las Vegas Trail.
(D. E. Norton Survey, Abstract No. 1174)
At the execution of the lease, approximately 11.97 acres of the leased land lying south of Shore Drive
was used by White Settlement for park purposes. At the request of White Settlement, the 11.97 acres
was sold to White Settlement for $5,000.00 with the approval of the Fort Worth City Council on May 28,
1985 (M&C L-8477). As further consideration, White Settlement cancelled the lease covering the
remainder of the 31.284 acres, returning control of the land to the City of Fort Worth. Although Fort
Worth received cash payment from White Settlement on October 28, 1985, (Receipt Number 4342) the
actual deed conveying the property was not filed in the Tarrant County deed records by White
Settlement until September 14, 2001. (Deed Volume 15161, Page 426).
At the time of the sale, White Settlement requested that Fort Worth de-annex the 11.97 acres so the
land could be annexed by White Settlement. As part of the review process for de-annexation, the
Department of Parks and Community Service recommended that the City of White Settlement dedicate
sufficient right-of-way for the future widening and improvement of Shore Drive. Correspondence
between the cities indicates that White Settlement was willing to dedicate land for the use of the right-
of-way only if Fort Worth would commit to a construction and completion date within 18 months of
dedication. To date, no agreement was reached between the two cities concerning the improvement
or realignment of Shore Drive.
The Fort Worth Water Department is currently negotiating an agreement with White Settlement in order
to serve customers on the far south shore of Lake Worth. White Settlement is requesting resolution of
the boundary line concerning the 11.97 acres they purchased from Fort Worth in 1985.
