Council approves Wyandotte Nation street vacation and 87‑acre final plat for Crosswinds expansion
Summary
Park City Council approved vacating a small cul‑de‑sac on tribal land and a final plat to reconfigure an 87‑acre site for expansion of the Crosswinds casino, with the petitioner guaranteeing 25% of a future traffic signal cost.
Park City Council on Sept. 23 approved an ordinance vacating a remnant portion of Athens Court (now Jackpot Way) that sits on tribal land and separately approved a final plat reconfiguring an 87‑acre parcel to facilitate expansion of the Crosswinds Casino development.
The action follows a staff recommendation and planning commission review and will allow the Wyandotte Nation and development partners to replat the property to create 10 lots, eliminate a cul‑de‑sac and remove portions of existing drainage reserves.
The planning commission approved the final plat on June 16 by a 4–1 vote subject to several conditions, including a requirement that the petitioner cover a portion of the cost of a traffic signal at Wyandotte Way and 70 Seventh Street North. The developer has provided financial guarantees covering 25 percent of that signal cost, staff told council.
A staff presentation noted the property was originally platted as part of the Colosseum Center Addition in 1991 and later replatted in 2005 as Wild West Addition; the current action consolidates, reconfigures and renames portions of those plats to support future development and an additional access onto Hydraulic Avenue.
Councilmember Charlie Davidson moved to approve the ordinance vacating the right‑of‑way; Jim Schrader seconded. The motion carried on a roll call vote. Council later approved the final plat and accepted dedications under a separate motion; that vote also carried unanimously.
Staff emphasized there is no identifiable cost to the city for approving the right‑of‑way vacation. The replat shows 10 buildable lots and an additional future opening onto Hydraulic Avenue. Properties across 70 Seventh Street to the north are zoned for entertainment and service business uses and are being redeveloped as part of the Golden Circle Casino; lands to the east and northwest include residential and industrial zonings.
Council discussion focused on confirming the action is a plat and vacation matter and does not change zoning. A council member asked whether zoning was changing; staff clarified the zoning is not changing—the action modifies platting only.
The approvals clear the way for the Wyandotte Nation, Wynn’s Hotel and Grand River LLC, with MKEC as agent, to proceed with the plat and associated infrastructure commitments as conditioned by staff and the planning commission.
The council vote on the vacation ordinance and the final plat were recorded as roll‑call votes and passed with no dissent.
