Grapevine City Council approved a memorandum of understanding between the city and JI Land to relocate the Bushong Farm Cabin and clear land for up to three new homes during the March 5 meeting.
Two-minute impact
According to the memorandum of understanding, the city will pay JI Land—the owner of the land where the cabin is located—$200,000 for the removal and relocation of the cabin within 30 days. Per the agreement, the property owner will be required to file replats for new residences and cannot build more than three new homes.
The agreement has a duration of 18 months from the execution date, which occurred in March. According to the agreement, the property owner must provide for the installation of any necessary water infrastructure, but the city will fund any necessary oversizing or extension beyond the property.
One more thing
The area earmarked for future development sits near the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center. Per terms of the agreement, the potential residential development is expected to match the surrounding neighborhoods.
