Commission creates special benefit district for Tallgrass Phase 6 infrastructure

Hays City Commission · August 14, 2026

Summary

The commission approved Resolution 2026-015 to create a special benefit district to fund roughly $1.6 million in street and utility improvements for 24 lots in Tallgrass 1st Edition Phase 6; the developer will put 30% down and provided an $84,000 letter of credit.

Assistant City Manager Jared Kuckelman described a petition from GK Real Estate Development to form a special benefit district to pay for street, stormwater, water and sewer improvements for 24 lots in Tallgrass 1st Edition Phase 6. The design engineer estimated total construction costs at about $1,600,000; city policy requires the developer to put 30% down, leaving the remaining 70% to be assessed to property owners over a period of up to 20 years.

Kuckelman said the developer provided an $84,000 letter of credit, chosen to approximate one year’s worth of the proposed assessments on the 24 lots. Commissioners applauded continued infill development; the commission approved Resolution 2026-015 creating the proposed district by a 5-0 vote.
