Council approves vacation and final plat to expand Crosswinds Casino development

Park City council members on Sept. 23 voted to vacate a remaining circle turnaround formerly known as Athens Court (now Jackpot Way) and to approve a final plat titled Wyandotte Development Addition to allow expansion of the Crosswinds Casino development and related hotel and commercial parcels. Planning staff said the right-of-way remnant was originally dedicated in the 1991 Colosseum Center Addition, later replatted, and the remaining turnaround sits on tribal land owned by the Wyandotte Nation. Staff recommended approval, noting no cost to the city for the right-of-way vacation. The approved final plat covers about 87 acres and shows 10 lots for development, reconfigures several platted lots, eliminates a cul-de-sac and reduces portions of drainage reserves running through the area. The plat includes one additional access onto Hydraulic Avenue for future development and was presented as a replat of Wild West Addition (2005). The planning commission approved the final plat on June 16 by a 4–1 vote subject to conditions, one of which requires the petitioner to cover the cost of a traffic signal at Wyandotte Way and 70 Seventh Street; staff said the petitioner has provided financial guarantees for 25% of that signal cost. Councilmember Charlie Davidson moved to approve the ordinance vacating the street right-of-way; Councilmember Jim Schrader seconded, and the roll call vote recorded approval. The council later voted to accept dedications and approve the final plat, again recording unanimous approval as presented.
