.L
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2014
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION DECLARING CITY PROPERTY SURPLUS AND
AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO DISPOSE OF CITY
PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting a resolution declaring a tract of land owned by the City of
Grapevine and lying in the City of Southlake to be surplus, authorizing the City Manager
to execute the necessary documents to sell subject tract at the appraised value to the
owner of the abutting property, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grapevine acquired the subject tract in preparation for the construction of the
Parra Linda Drainage Project in 1991. It is located adjacent to Shady Lane in Southlake.
The stormwater flow collected in the Parra Linda Addition and Kimball Road enclosed
drainage system discharged onto the subject tract immediately downstream of the
project's drainage improvements.
The owner of the property abutting the subject tract on the east has requested the City
consider selling subject tract to him to incorporate into his planned development as an
entry feature enhancement. Stormwater currently discharges upon and crosses subject
tract in an open channel. The subject tract will be incorporated into the proposed
development of the abutting property with the stormwater being confined within a more
structured open channel or within an enclosed pipe system.
The 0.74 acre subject tract has an appraised value of $77,000.00. The owner of the
abutting property has agreed to purchase the tract for the appraised price.
Section 272.001(c) of the Texas Local Government Code authorizes the sale of City
owned property to the abutting property owner without the requirement of competitive
bidding.
Staff recommends approval.
