Hartford's City Plan Commission considered a petition for direct annexation submitted by Winter Park Builders for 58 acres, located at 1500 W. State Street and north of 1500 W. State Street in the Town of Hartford.

The annexation could see up to 250 students moving into the community, with this possible higher density residential development. 

The motion passed unanimously on Monday, March 9.

The Hartford City Plan Commission also considered a site plan and architectual review in the General Business District for Tommy Express Car Wash, at 1310 East Sumner Street in the City of Hartford.

Hartford City Planner Jacob Maas says the plan set meets the requirements of the zoning district.

"This parcel, they are going to raise the current structures on this property and develop the new Tommy Express Car Wash." 

The current assessment of the property is $600,000. Prior taxes collected on it was $9,000, with $3,000 of it going to the City of Hartford. With the proposed new development, it will be around $30,000 a year according to Maas with $10,000 of it going to the City of Hartford.

The motion passed unanimously.
