The city has asked developers of the Center Heights housing project to send a plat for the 12-acre "Block 1," the area developers say they will begin construction.
The request came in a letter from city attorney Mike Ryan to Buddie Salsbury of Enterprise Venture Corporation.
Ryan said the commission had received a 1:500 scale "site plan sketch," from Enterprise Venture Corp. but that without a completed plat for the site, the commission would not be able to recommend approval of any plans.
In th lettter dated Dec. 20, Ryan told Salsbury the sketch lacked the detail necessary for the commission to make any type of recommendation to the Clay Center City Council.
The commission recently recommended approval of nearly 40 acres of the development after a plat was provided and the city council quickly approved the plat with the exceptionof the unplatted 12 acre parcel.
Ryan said as soon as the commission receives a plat a meeting would be scheduled to review the plan.
On Dec. 5 Salsbury, president of EVC, had expressed frustration with the city's delay on a agreement on offsite improvements near the proposed development near the Clay Center Community Middle School.
"Our land out there is turning to stone," Salsbury told the council.
Meanwhile, George McCune, executive director of the Economic Development Group, was taken to Mercy Hospital in Manhattan Wednesday by ambulance after suffering a fall.
Doctors determined McCune had a broken hip and surgically replaced part of the hip today.
McCune's wife Juanita told the Dispatch late this morning that the operation had been an apparent success and that McCune reportedly had been standing with the repaired hip in place today.
He is expected to return to Clay Center on Friday to a swing bed at Clay County Medical Center and to undergo extensive rehabilitation.
