(KNZA)--The city of Hiawatha is moving forward with the annexation of several properties, south of the city limits.

City Administrator Mike Nichols told the Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening that KANZA Mental Health and Guidance Center has submitted a petition to annex their property at 2291 Linden Road into the city limits.

In addition, Nichols recommended the city authorize and submit a petition to annex in both of the city's sewer plant properties across the road.

The Commission voted to authorize the mayor and city clerk to sign a petition for the annexation of the two city-owned properties. In addition, the Commission requested an annexation ordinance be drafted—including the two city-owned properties and the KANZA property--for consideration of adoption.

In other business, the Commission approved a resolution finding structures located on seven properties unsafe and ordering they be demolished, if not repaired or removed by 5 p.m. December 7.

The action is the next step in the condemnation process following a public hearing last month.

The Commission approved an application submitted by Kenneth and Bonnie Lock for the demolition of a house located 110 Pottawatomie. The city will demolish the structure, with the owner responsible for landfill fees.

The Commission also approved a ordinance changing the zoning classification of properties located at 725 and 727 Iowa Street from residential to industrial-light. The city Planning Commission had recommend approval of the zoning change.
