Continued development of residential and business areas in north Hays was reviewed by Hays City Commissioners during their Thursday night work session.

Information was presented by Jesse Rohr, Superintendent of Planning, Inspection and Enforcement, for a replat in the North Hays Addition east of Carrico Implement, the final plat and rezoning of Clubhouse Gardens II adjacent to the Smoky Hill Country Club, and for establishing a benefit district as well as an engineering services agreement in King’s Gate Addition Phase II on the north side of 41st Street.

Rohr told commissioners the Hays Planning Commission had already unanimously approved each project.

However, Rohr did not support the final plat of Clubhouse Gardens II Addition. “The two large lots do not conform with the spirit of the city’s comprehensive plan,” he explained.

Commissioners also heard from Finance Director Kim Rupp about special assessments for two Special Improvement Districts within the city which are ready to be finalized and assessed to the property owners. The SIDs are 46th Street Second Addition and Golden Belt Estates Fifth Addition for water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and streets.

All items will move forward for consideration at next week’s regular Hays City Commission meeting, Thursday, March 26.
