NTTA SURPLUS LAND is currently evaluating all property they own in the area and that property has been identified as surplus and not needed for future projects. The NTTA Board will make a decision, likely in June, on whether to officially offer it for sale through an open government bid process (they are a state, not city agency). A list of the NTTA board members can be found
here.
For any questions regarding this sale, contact Pamela Shannon at 214-224-2164, as she is managing the surplus land evaluation or Mark Boulma 214-461-2058 who is her supervisor. The HOA will be contacted priod to the decision, but according to her it will be a bid process most likely this summer.
Tarrant Appraisal District records show the parcel is approximately 10 acres and was last appraised at $217,735. It’s landlocked by two properties to the east, a property owned by Oncor with high voltage towers to the north, and probably would not be attractive for development. It’s currently zoned “C” Medium Density Multifamily.
There are 18 Meadows West properties that abut this parcel. These lots are on the east side of Meadows West Drive beginning at 6345 Meadows West Dr., some lots on Bentwood Ct., Havenview Ct., and Briarcrest Ct.
Our City Council representative, Brian Byrd, is aware of the issue and is looking at alternatives. We’ll keep an eye on this and continue to do what we can to protect the neighborhood.
DOG OWNERS, Reports of increased number of dogs not on leash while walking increases the potential for problems. PLEASE help keep our neighborhood and park a clean and pleasant place to visit by remembering to keep them on leash and to pick up after your pet when walking them. This will be appreciated by all that enjoy the outdoors.
