Two annexation requests and a request of support of housing tax credits will be addressed at today’s Hays city commission meeting.
Both annexation requests, for property adjacent to 1100 E. 43rd Street and for properties located near 230th Avenue and 55th Street, would be for future business developments, according to Toby Dougherty, Hays city manager.
Old Town Development, Inc., is asking the commission for support in its housing tax credit application for a 40-unit, low income apartment complex near 22nd and Wheatland.
Further discussion on a potential traffic roundabout at 27th and Canterbury will continue. A test with a temporary roundabout by city staff earlier this month at the intersection went very well, according to Dougherty. “City staff feels that a roundabout would be beneficial at that location and that the work could be performed in-house, " he said.
The commission will also hear from the ARC Park non-profit group, which will ask for permission to proceed with phase three of park enhancements.
The complete April 20 agenda is available here. The meeting begins at 4 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.
