City of Hays

The Hays Area Board of Zoning Appeals will meet Wednesday, October 14, at 8:15 a.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.

Agenda items include a public hearing for a request from Midwest Energy for a special use permit for a self-supporting telecommunications tower and equipment shelter at 1330 Canterbury Drive.

The three-legged 150 foot high tower and equipment shelter would be placed just south of the Midwest Energy building.

According to Tim Flax, Vice President of Information Technology of Midwest Energy, the
tower will hold microwave dishes as a means of their communication gateway from their corporate office to all their offices and substations. It may be shared by another utility company or the state Department of Motor vehicles at some time.
