 Flooding Problems in our Neighborhood

Meeting Scheduled for September 20^th 6-8pm

At Fullness in Christ Church

The Lake Country Property Owners Association has been working with the City of Fort Worth since 2006 to remedy the flooding problems in our neighborhood.

The City met with the community on 8/29/07 and agreed to develop an engineering plan to remedy the problem. We reviewed the first engineering plan on 11/11/08 that would remedy some of the problems at a cost of $500,000 which was approved by the City. On 6/11/09 we documented flooding in other areas that needed to be addressed by the City.

 As a result the project was expanded to address these problems and the City has approved an increase to $1.6 million. The plan now includes approximately 40 additional 10 foot recessed curb inlets placed at problematic areas as shown below. The streets will be repaved due to the extensive amount of work.

The Final Design is scheduled at the end of this October.

I met with the consulting engineers and the City for an on site plan review on 8/ 23/2010 and recommended some changes that would affect the greenbelt appearance. They will be presenting the plan and changes at the meeting on September 20^th scheduled 6 to 8 PM at the Fullness of Christ Church, 8895 Random Rd.

The contractor bidding process will begin this December and the first ground breaking could begin in January or February of 2011.

Fort Worth City

Outdoor Events Ordinance Effective Oct. 1, 2010

(08/09/2010)  From the City of Fort Worth - A new outdoor events ordinance, approved by the City Council last week, goes into effect Oct. 1.

The ordinance applies to any outdoor gathering on public or private property that attracts more than 500 attendees, requires a street to be closed, sells food or beverages, or uses tents, stages, bleachers, fireworks, open flames or portable toilets. It would also apply to parades, neighborhood events requiring the use of city streets, events in parks and some First Amendment activity.

An advisory committee - made up of Fort Worth residents, neighborhood advocates and stakeholders who organize and manage outdoor events - met for more than a year to formulate new outdoor events policies and practices that were adopted into the ordinance.

Events conducted entirely on the property of a church, educational institution, college or university campus, or on property containing an occupied residence are exempt from the new ordinance. Additionally, events contracted with the city or at city-owned facilities and at the Texas Motor Speedway are exempt.

Event organizers will be required to attend two committee meetings - the Events Calendar Committee and the Pre-Event Committee - and must provide notice to surrounding property owners. The two committees will be in charge of scheduling events, reviewing event plans and applications.

You can view the complete ordinance at FortWorthGov.org/specialevents
