Great Bend Lodging has submitted a final plat for property located at 3017 10th St., adjacent to the Events Center, for the future development of a hotel and associated restaurants. The Great Bend City Council will be asked to approve the final plat when it meets at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17, at City Hall. (The City offices will be closed on Monday in observance of Presidents Day.)
According to the agenda, the final plat was presented to the Planning Commission during a public hearing on Jan. 26. The commission heard from representatives of the ownership group regarding the proposed site improvements and reviewed discussion related to the drainage study for the property.
The proposed improvements associated with the final plat include the relocation of the existing sanitary sewer line further south on the property and extending east. This adjustment is intended to create a larger developable lot for a restaurant, with the hotel located toward the rear of the site.
To guarantee completion of these improvements, the owners have submitted a letter of credit for $60,000, which will ensure installation of the new sanitary sewer line and removal of the existing line.
