Hoyt council agrees to accept KDOT parcel so owner can repair parking lot
Summary
Council members said KDOT agreed to transfer a small parcel at 116 W Fourth Street to the City of Hoyt so the city can then convey it to property owner Mr. Swenson, allowing repairs to the property owner's parking lot to proceed.
The Hoyt City Council agreed on Jan. 7 to accept a parcel from the Kansas Department of Transportation so a local property owner can repair a parking lot.
Council member Joe Romans told the council that KDOT initially declined to transfer the easement at 116 W Fourth Street but, after a site meeting with Mr. Swenson, KDOT agreed to sign the property over to the City of Hoyt. Romans said the council could then transfer the parcel to Mr. Swenson so he could repair the entire parking lot.
The council's agreement was recorded in the minutes; no formal vote tally is provided in the record. The transfer is intended to clear the ownership or easement issue that had prevented Swenson from repairing the lot.
City attorney Caleb Hitz, present at the meeting, was aware of the discussion. The minutes do not specify a timetable, conditions for the transfer, or whether any deed language or formal resolution will be drafted; those steps would be taken as part of the usual property-transfer process.
The council handled the item as part of its routine business and moved on to other agenda items at the same meeting.
