Adopt Ordinance Vacating a Portion of Unconstructed Marie Jones Road South of Mosson Road Located in East Fort Worth to Consolidate the Land for a Future Development  (COUNCIL DISTRICT 5)

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt the attached ordinance vacating a portion of unconstructed Marie Jones Road south of Mosson Road located in East Fort Worth to consolidate the land for a future development; and

2. Waive any and all purchase fee value of the vacated land in accordance with City policy.

Dunaway Associates, on behalf of Mosson, LP, has requested vacation of this portion of right-of-way for Marie Jones Road to be replatted with the adjoining property for a future development. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on November 17, 2017.  An acceptable final plat (FS-17-227) has been received in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance.

The City of Fort Worth (City) originally obtained the above mentioned right-of-way through plat dedication. The City does not own any fee interest in the right-of-way or own any property adjacent to the rights-of-way and did not expend any City funds to purchase the right-of-way easement.  In accordance with the City's policy regarding street and alley  vacation transactions approved by the City Council on March 6, 2007, (M&C G-15624), staff recommends waiving the fair market value or any portion thereof of purchase price of these right-of-way easementsfor the street.

This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
