CHICKASHA — A tract of land on the southwest side of town has been rezoned, and oil/gas leases have been authorized on more city-owned land in Grady County.
The city council approved a request from businessman Brannan Bordwine to rezone a two-acre tract of land between South 23rd and South 25th streets in the vicinity of Country Club Road, from agricultural to single-family residential.
Bordwine sought the rezoning “to allow for the sale of the property for residential use,” Assistant City Manager Rachel Bernish told the council. The undeveloped tract is surrounded by homeowners, she said.
The city council also approved oil/gas leases with Petroven Inc. of Dallas, Texas, on four city-owned parcels in Grady County totaling 40 acres.
On July 3 the city council approved an oil/gas lease with Todco Properties of Norman for 300 city-owned acres in Caddo County, in the vicinity of Lake Chickasha, and an oil/gas lease with Camino Natural Resources of Denver, Colorado, for 39 city-owned acres in Grady County.
