The Lewisville ISD board of trustees discussed selecting an architect for a potential bus yard on land the district owns as an alternative in case plans to sell the land fall through.
The property, located near Vickery Elementary School between Wager Road and Blue Sky Lane, was purchased years ago by the school district for a potential school site, but is no longer needed for that use, according to a statement by the school board.
Lewisville ISD accepted a bid from housing developer Rembert Enterprises. That firm proposed using the 22.75 acres to build 54 detached single-family homes in the $700,000 price range, according to a letter of intent filed with the town of Flower Mound. This would require approval from the Flower Mound Town Council to change the zoning of the land from designated estate residential use to medium density residential uses, according to town documents.
The Flower Mound Town Council tabled the vote for the zoning proposal at its Oct. 4 meeting, leaving the fate of the property sale up in the air.
