The Great Bend City Council will have a chance to give approval for the
creation of an RV (recreational vehicle) park on east 10th Street.
Kyle Walter said the property at 833 10th Street, next to the Baltzell
Motel and HandleBar & Grill, used to be a mobile home park and he plans to
put in 34 RV sites plus a bath house and laundry facility.
To begin with, Walter plans for 14 pull-through sites and 20 back-in sites. The
sites will be hooked up to water, sewer and electrical. Users will pull through
the Baltzell property to access the park. In the future, Walter would like to
add a tornado shelter and fencing around the property.
At the Great Bend Planning Commission meeting in April, Walter told the board
he did not anticipate long-term stays but if there were work crews that were in
the area then he would welcome them.
The city council will be presented with motions to
approve a conditional use permit for an RV park in a C-2 zone. The meeting on May 15 begins at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
