The Mitchell City Council last night approved a conditional use permit for Flats On Havens, which would be located at the site of the former Ramada Inn on West Havens. The plan is to turn the former hotel into a 90-unit housing complex to help alleviate the workforce housing shortage in the area. The city council voted 7-0 in favor of the permit.

The council on Monday night also approved a conditional use permit for HiWings LLC to operate an assembly hall on the Kelley property near Lake Mitchell. The venue would host weddings. Neighbors have raised concerns about traffic, noise, and alcohol consumption on the premises. The council unanimously approved the conditional use permit.
