that he can build a strip shopping center and medical offices. The depth of the property is
163' with 373.2' frontage along the west side of Major Drive. Property south of Walden
Road is outside the city limits. This 1.4 acre tract is wooded as are the other three comers

a major arterial street from Highway 124 west to Boyt Road according to the Major Street
and Highway Plan element of the Comprehensive Plan, Major Drive ( State FM Highway

a neighborhood growth unit. The intersection of Walden and Major is designated as an
activity center. Zoning east along the east side of Major Drive north and south of Walden
