Action
st
Requested:
Ordinance No. 950, 1 Reading, Adjust Southlake’s northeast city
boundary adjacent to the City of Grapevine in the area of the
westbound SH 114 frontage road and Park Boulevard.
Background
Information:
City Staff has been in discussions with the Grapevine City Staff for
the past few months regarding adjustments to our common
boundary in the vicinity of NW Highway, Park Blvd. and SH 114.
The goal of this adjustment is to clean up an erratic boundary line,
thereby eliminating potential confusion of emergency responders to
the respective city’s limits.The agreement to adjust the boundary
is comprised of a number of elements. The elements include:
Sewer Agreement for Simmons Addition (99 years)
•
Adjust boundary to eliminate out parcels
•
Interlocal agreement for construction of Kimball per
•
Southlake MTP (GV cost = $2,000,000)
Share cost of emergency water connection and meter at Austin
•
Oaks entrance
Grapevine to purchase Southlake water line (reduced for age)
•
Agree to future Nolen Drive connection
•
The agreement adjusts the boundary along SH 114 in the vicinity of
Northwest Highway. Approximately 6.87 acres of private property,
including the 3 lot Grapevine Plaza Addition, and approximately
11.35 acres of TxDOT right-of-way will fall within the city limits of
Grapevine with this adjustment.
Interlocal agreements for provision of sewer service to Simmons
Service area as well as the construction of Kimball Road are
presented under separate agenda items.
This boundary adjustment will provide Southlake with a cost
avoidance of $1,185,000 (in 2007 dollars) as a result of not having
to construct sanitary sewer improvements to serve the Grapevine
Plaza Addition and the Simmons Service Area.
Financial
Considerations:
As a result of the proposed boundary adjustment, property and
sales tax revenues will be reduced in the amount $56,769 annually.
Balancing the anticipated reduction in revenue against the capital
and annual maintenance cost ($1.2 - 1.4 million) of the required
improvements to serve the aforementioned areas, the payback
period is 39 years (assuming 5% interest with a term of 20 years)
Citizen Input/
Board Review:
None
Legal
Review:
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed the proposed ordinance.
Alternatives:
The City Council may approve or deny this ordinance.
