HISTORY: This 25.6 acre parcel was platted in the mid 80's into
several commercial building sites. In 1991, Siepiela
Interest purchased the property, rezoned it to residential
use (78 lots), and this is the final step which needs to be
taken prior to resubdividin§ into single family lots.
TRANSPORTATION:
Wynn PaGe Drive is the main access off of Denton Tap Road.
There will be secondary northern access as shown on the
WynnpaGe plat. None of these arteries are shown on the
plat being vacated.
ANALYSIS: This DTC plat needs to be vacated prior to approval of the
WynnpaGe Addition Final Plat, both on the same General area
of land. Because the land use has changed from commercial
under the DTC plat, to residential under the WynnpaGe plat,
this is a step to be taken prior to development. Staff
recommends approval of the vacation of the DRC plat.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the vacation of DTC Addition
ATTACHMENTS: 1) None
