The Hays Planning Commission on Monday will review a draft preliminary plat of the Smoky Hill Plains Addition north of West 27th Street and east of the U.S. 183 alternate highway bypass.
According to information from city staff, the current plat of the area is the DK Ranch Addition, a large lot development that was platted in 2013, but never developed. The property was sold and is now being replatted into a more efficient residential subdivision.
The owner, Sing Along Ranch LLC and BJKT LLC, also purchased the adjacent undeveloped lots along the west side of Columbine Drive. The Smoky Hill Plains Addition preliminary plat also includes those lots.
About 18 acres of the western half of DK Ranch Addition will be vacated. The eastern half of DK Ranch and the west half of Columbine will be replatted into Smoky Hill Plains Addition, comprised of 52 lots.
City utilities are in the area and will be extended for development.
The complete Aug. 18 agenda is available here. The meeting starts at 4 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.
