09/05/95
Public Works Director Jerry Hodge reviewed the process for the proposed assessment
of ninety percent of costs for the water and sanitary sewer improvements proposed
for the Northeast Grapevine Water and Sanitary Sewer System Improvements (H/A
Grapevine Master Utilities). He stated that development in the 790 acre area has been
hampered due to lack of utilities. The proposed development by IDI (Industrial
Development International) of 180 acres owned by Hunt Development Corporation
land in far northeast Grapevine initiated the need for water and sanitary sewer system
improvements. Mr. Hodge stated that Hunt Development Corporation and the City of
Grapevine have developed a plan to provide service to the area with a system meeting
the City's Master Plan. The City's cost participation would be 51 .5 million and Hunt
Development Corporation's initial cost participation would be 53.1 million. He stated
that the project would include more than 60,000 linear feet of water and sanitary
sewer lines and one lift station.
Mr. Hodge stated that the assessment process was begun on August 1 , 1995, by the
City Council adopting an ordinance setting the public hearing date to consider an
assessment program. Public notice was mailed to all owners of record as reflected ;
in the Tarrant Appraisal District Tax Rolls and has been published in the Fort Worth
Star Telegram in compliance with the requirements under State law.
�
Mr. Hodge stated that 90% of costs will be assessed against the 790 acres to be °
served by the system and that cost is comprised of engineering, construction, material
testing and 10% contingencies. �
He noted the "Front Foot" Rule of applying assessments to abutting properties has
been deemed unjust and inequitable in its application. The majority of the property
to be assessed is undeveloped and thus the number of public streets abutting the
properties is limited. The water and sanitary sewer usage of similarly zoned
undeveloped tracts is projected upon acreage of the tract and does not consider
footage upon public streets. The water system acts as a fully interconnected and
interdependent system which provides service equally to all of the properties to be
assessed. The appropriate method of distributing the cost for this system is to assess
the cost equally by the acre to each owner's parcel or parcels. The sanitary system
; is more segmented and specific lines as well as the lift station serve specific individual
tracts. The appropriate method of distributing the cost for these systems is to assess
the costs of each line by the acre to each owner's parcel or parcels served by each
specific system.
f
Mr. Hodge reported City Staff had met with the twelve property owners to be {
assessed and described the project and the assessment program.
Mayor Tate invited guests present to comment regarding the proposed assessment
program. The following spoke in support of the proposed assessment program: .
4
09/05/95
'' Mr. Frederick Brodsky, 5223 Royal Lane, Dallas, representing three groups: Gateway
! Center Association, Airport Trinity, Inc., and Four "J" International, expressed his
support for the program and stated that this is the kind of program that is necessary
to stimulate economic development on the property. He stated the distribution of
� costs is equitable and encourages the City Council to support the program.
Mr. Ron Glover, representing H/A Grapevine Joint Venture, expressed support for the
' program as proposed, and stated it is their belief that the costs are distributed fairly.
� He stated that H/A Grapevine Joint Venture has agreed to pay their assessment up
j front without any requirement or delay for further development. He then presented
� Mayor Tate with H/A Grapevine Joint Venture's contribution toward the construction
of the system in the amount of $3,163,000.00.
uthlake Senior Vice President of Rosewood
li Mr. Dennis King, 205 Manor Place, So ,
i Property Company, expressed support for the proposed water and sanitary sewer
�i system noting that the improvements are necessary to stimulate development in that
!� part of Grapevine. He commended City Staff for their assistance in working with the
'i land owners to develop the assessment program.
;
'� Mr. Doug Johnson, Dallas, Vice President of Industrial Development International,
; expressed support for the proposed water and sanitary sewer system and assessment
iprogram.
II Mr. William Ihnfeldt, 2717 Anderson-Gibson Road, expressed his support for the
; proposed project and welcomed developers to the area.
! Mr. Jerry Hodge stated there were two letters of support for the project received from
� Mr. Henry Billingsley, of Crow-Billingsley Investment Company, and Mr. Terence P.
Fitzgerald, Vice President of the Mills Corporation.
' Mr. Hodge introduced Mr. James W. Cullar, Jr., to present the Justification and
i
Enhancement Study addressing the special benefits to the subject properties.
�!, Mr. Cullar stated his firm, Evaluation Associates, conducted a utility enhancement
study to estimate the economic impact on the values of various real properties
resulting from the proposed extension of utility services to areas containing
I 790 acres
in northeast Gra evine. He stated the that in the study,
a roximate p
PP Y
project enhancement is defined as the special benefit derived by abutting properties
'� along the referenced section of the proposed utility line routes derived from the effect
�; exerted on the market values of real properties during the construction period of the
� improvement project.
�'� Mr. Cullar reported that research included a comprehensive investigation of the
i subject market area as well as the immediate neighborhood. Based upon their analysis
! and interpretation of the data, Evaluation Associates formed an opinion as to before
' and after values of the individual parcels which will be impacted by the utility
'� improvement/extension project. The abutting properties were individually considered
i I
'� 5
I
,i
09/05/95
and analyzed. The properties on the project are zoned for various commercial and
h,.
industrial uses and this study demonstrates that each will be enhanced or specifically
benefitted because of the utility improvement project.
