Capsyn Limited No. 54-58, owner of 462.56 acres at the southeast quadrant
of the intersection of Sycamore School Road and McCart Street, is requesting
that their property be annexed into the City of Fort Worth through our
involuntary annexation procedure. Further, in order to prevent the creation
of an island of land in our ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) that is
totally surrounded by Fort Worth, additional property located to the north
is included in the area recommended for annexation. The total area being
considered in this request is 721.076 acres. (See attached Exhibit Map
S
In considering this request, a service feasibility report was prepared utiliz-
ing City departmental comments to assist in determining the suitability of the
area for annexation. Following receipt of the study report, the City Plan
Commission held a public hearing on the area recommended for annexation as
shown on the attached Exhibit Map "A". All affected property owners were
notified. Three property owners appeared before the City Plan Commission
Hearing on this matter held March 29, 1978. Twp of the property owners
concurred that the initial zoning for the proposed annexation area should
be "AG" Agricultural when and if the area is annexed.
The City Plan Commission, following the hearing, unanimously recommended
approval of both the recommended annexation area outlined on the Exhibit Map
"A" and the initial "AG" Agricultural zoning. Also, attached is the staff
study report on this area considered by the City Plan Commission.
Plan Commission
The following were major factors considered by the City Plan Commission in
arriving at their recommendation to the City Council:
1. The 462 acre portion of the area is being purchased for
development.
2. Water and sewer lines are located within a reasonable
extension distance.
3. Development is now occurring in the immediate area.
4. Responding City Departments and the Development Review
Committee do not idenfity any significant problems with
the annexation and subsequent service to the proposed
annexation area.

REPORT ON
ANNEXATION: SOUTH FORT WORTH
(EAST OF CANDLERIDGE)
Request:
Capsyn Limited No. 5458, owner of 462.56 acres at the southeast quadrant
of the intersection of Sycamore School Road and McCart Street, is request-
ing that this property be annexed into the City of Fort Worth through our
involuntary annexation procedure. Further, in order to prevent the creation
of an island of land in our ETJ that is totally surrounded by Fort Worth,
additional property located to the north is included in this request. The
total area being considered in this request is 721.076 acres. (See attached
Exhibit Map "A".)
Jurisdiction:
The subject property is within the exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction
of the City of Fort Worth and not subject to annexation by any other city.
There are no ordinance conflicts existing and no common boundary adjustments
with other cities required for annexation.
Since we have not annexed our maximum allowable in prior years, we are
eligible to annex 30 percent of our corporate area, 72 square miles in
this calendar year.
Sector and District Plan:
The subject area is located within the Wedgwood Sector and District H. The
predominant use recommended in both plans for the subject property is low.
density housing. A sizeable portion of the subject property is also recom-
mended for cemetery use. Other recommended uses for the subject property
are commercial, schools, public open space, fire station, and medium density
housing. Arterial and collector streets are proposed through and adjacent
to the subject property.
Project Scope:
It is anticipated that the 462.56 acres of Capsyn Limited property will
be developed as a predominantly residential development with a moderate
amount of commercial development at the McCart-Sycamore School Road inter-
section. Also, included would be an elementary school site (Crowley I.S.D.)
and an appropriate park. site. Therefore, based on the anticipated develop-
ment pattern of the Capsyn Limited property, we project approximately 2338
lots at an estimated population of 7,104 for the total area being considered.
At present there are four residential structures located within the subject
property that is currently in agricultural or vacant land use status.
Library:
The library currently operates a bookmobile stop at Sycamore Elementary
School on Country Manor Road. It is closer to the property under consider-
ation than many branch libraries are to residents within the City itself.
Service is limited to the school year because of little use by adults.
Thirty hours of service are provided during ten stops.
Economic Development:
As no industrial development is anticipated at this time for the subject
property, this office reserves comment until such time as industrial develop-
ment is considered.
Water and Sewer:
Water - There is an existing 16 inch water main in McCart Street just
south of West Cleburne Road. Initial service to areas developing in the
proposed annexation area will probably be served by extension from that
source. Supplementary supply will be afforded by extension from the 24
inch main in Sycamore School Road at West Cleburne Road, as development
proceeds.
Under current policy, any water mains constructed as approach mains for
developments in the area will be constructed at developers expense. Based
on current costs, it is anticipated that on-site water facilities costs
will be distributed as .follows:
Estimated Developer Cost:
2338 Lots @ 70` Frontage
@ $8.60/Front Ft. _ $1,407,000
Estimated City Cost @
25% of Developer Cost = 352,000
Total Estimated On-
Site Costs $1,759,000
Sewer - The primary source of sanitary sewer service to the subject area
will be the existing 18 inch sanitary sewer main located along Sycamore Creek,
with an extension required in a westerly direction from a point just east of
the MKT Railroad and just south of Sycamore School Road.
Under current policy an extension of sanitary sewer mains constructed as an
approach to developments within the subject area will be built at developer
expense. Based on current costs, it is anticipated that on-site sanitary
sewer facilities costs will be distributed as follows:
2
Estimated Developer Cost:
2338 Lots @ 701 Frontage
@ $6.80/Front Ft. _ $1,113,000
Estimated City Cost @
25% of Developer Cost = 278,000
Total Estimated On-
Site Costs $1,391,000
Public Works:
Sanitation - There are no immediate problems expected in the absorption
of service of this area in its present undeveloped state.
However, the 2338 lots under consideration will require a complete garbage
crew, with capital outlay of $46,800 and annual operating cost of $47,420.
In addition, $30,000 annually for collection of brush and bulky waste will
be needed.
Streets - The area contains 3.6 lane miles of rural penetration type
roadways. F.M. Road 1054 south from the' north bovadary of the study area
to its intersection with. F.M. Road 1059 is in poor condition. 7.14. Road
1059 east from F.M. Road 1054 for approximately 0.8 lane miles has numerous
base failures. Both roads will require drainage work along the borrow
ditches.
It is anticipated that base reconstruction, penetration pavement repair,
spot sealing and blading of shoulders and drainage ditches will be required
during the next three years.
The estimated cost of performing this maintenance work in the subject area
over the next three years is as follows:
First year $10,439
Second year - $ 7,750
Third year $ 8,396
Fire:
The requested annexation is too far from present stations to be adequately
served. By present access routes the distances from the current station
are: (1) Station #26 - 3.3 to 4.5 miles (2) Station #28 - 3.03 to 4.7
miles (3) Station X117 - 4.73 to 6.25 miles. however, Station #29 (proposed)
if located where previously recommended would be 1.35 to 3.6 miles from the
subject property. With this development and others in this vicinity in the
near future, another fire station should be located between Stations #26 and
928 considering the final site location of #29.
3
Park and Recreation:
If the subject area within this annexation study is developed in compliance
with the Sector and District Plans, there would be a need generated for
approximately 17.5 acres of park land. This acreage requirement would consist
of a park of approximately 5.0 acres adjacent to the proposed elementary school
site in the northern portion of this area and a 12.5 acre park farther south.
It may be assumed these parks would be acquired through the City's current
Park Policy as subdivision development occurs.
Park development would by necessity be funded through current or future bond
programs with the possibility of matching federal funding. It is estimated
that at 1978 prices, it would cost approximately $92,000 to adequately develop
this acreage to neighborhood park standards.
Initial park maintenance standards would require an additional maintenance
truck, tractor mower and assorted minor equipment. This would require an
initial capital expenditure of $20,000. At 1978 prices, the total park
acreage in question upon development would require an increase in the
annual maintenance budget of approximately $18,000.
Police:
The following are cost figures necessary to serve the proposed annexation
area with police protection:
Area Required Per Beat: 6.91 Square miles
Area Involved: .167 of one beat
I. Recurring Costs: $43,512 (three officers)
11 517$8 Ccost for vehicular mileage)
Subs-Total $49,300
II. Non-recurring Costs: $ 7,000 (one vehicle)
30,000 (training)
2,543 (equipment)
Sub-Total $39,543
III. Grand Total $889843
Traffic Engineering:
Initially, since the area is mostly undeveloped grazing land with few streets
except rural portions of McCart and Sycamore School Road, the only service
required will be minor signing of street names, speed limits, stop signs,
etc. It is estimated that these costs would not exceed $750 the first year.
Annual costs after that time cannot be accurately estimated since a preliminary
plat showing proposed development has not been submitted, and services will
be provided only as development occurs. When the area fully develops, appro-
priate street lighting, considerable signing, and perhaps signalization, will
be required.
4
Public Health:
The subject annexation request would not impose any appreciable cost to
this department. However, it is recommended that this area be served by
the City of Fort Worth water and sewer systems or an approved community
water and sewer system, since the soil in this area is not suitable for
septic tank installations.
Development Review Committee:
After some discussion, the Development Review Committee recommended
unanimously that the subject annexation proposal be approved by the
City Plan Commission.
Conclusion:
Responding City Departments and the Development Review Committee do not
identify any significant problems with the annexation and subsequent
service to the proposed annexation area. With water and sewer service
feasible through relatively short extensions and development occuring
in the immediate area, it appears that the area is ready for annexation
in order to insure quality development. Further, this property appears
to be suitable for development without topographic or environmental
constraints.
