Subject: (iQ Message) - Pallets & Golf View Drive listing


I have six sturdy medium-size pallets for anyone who will pick them up.  Please call 220-4232 if interested.

I am listing a 2BR/2BA half duplex on Golf View Drive next week.  It has fresh paint and carpet and is clean as a whistle.  Basement is unfinished.  I would love to sell in-house (for cash, over list price, with a 10 day closing, of course).  I will also have a Shadywood 1BR/1BA garden level condo in January.

It looks like myself and some of our execs are finalizing plans for our broker road show on 12/11.  Let me know if you want us to come by to present the project.  Otherwise, I can reach out to you next time I am in town in January and do a little “one on one”.

This project is called Mentum in Olathe, KS.  It will be anchored by a new hockey arena being designed for the minor league hockey team owned by the Hunt family, owner of the KC Chiefs.  The project is located on the site of the former Great Mall of the Great Plains.  We are planning a new $300M mixed use development consisting of retail, entertainment, sporting venues, residential, hospitality and office.  This site is next to the Olathe Medical Center and across I-35 from Garmins World Headquarters.  I was wondering if you have clients that might be interested in this project?   

I have attached a short video for your information, which should give you an idea of the scope of this dynamic development, as well as the market profile for the project.   I would love to set up a meeting with you.  Let me know.

Barry. All water wells drilled in Shawnee County must comply with the requirements set forth in…

KDHE Article 30—Water Well Contractor’s License; Water Well Construction and Abandonment

It can be found online and I have an extra copy if you need one too.

In addition there is a permitting process as set forth from the Shawnee County Environmental Code. With this I meet the landowner on the site and confirm the proposed site meets all separation distances and requirements of this code.  Also online is a list of licensed well drillers. There are about 3-4 who regularly work in this area. If I can be of any help let me know. Gary

Downtown Topeka Redevelopment Incentive Grant Program Description of the Application Process



Administered by Downtown Topeka, Inc.
(for and on behalf of the City of Topeka)


Introduction

The Downtown Topeka Redevelopment Incentive Grant Program is a financial incentive that is designed to encourage residential and commercial improvements of buildings for future use in the Capital City Business Improvement District. Grants are awarded as reimbursement for actual monies spent up to the limits provided below.  Grant applications will be considered on a first come, first serve basis according to the date and time of application until funds are exhausted.  The amount of funds available may change during the duration of this program. Funding for this program is provided by the City of Topeka and administered by Downtown Topeka, Inc.  Applications will be reviewed by the Downtown Topeka Redevelopment Grant Committee (Grant Committee).  The Grant Committee consists of members appointed by Downtown Topeka, Inc. and by the Downtown Topeka Business Improvement District Advisory Board.

Eligible Applicants
Any person who owns or leases real property located in the Program Boundaries described below is eligible to apply for grants to improve real estate (the Project) under Grant Program.  Such person or persons (including tenants and owners of real estate) hereafter will be denoted as Applicant.  However, if the Applicant does not have an ownership interest in the real property other than that of a tenant, then the owner of the property must join in the application and executive all documents required here for grant approval. 

Guidelines and Limitations
For residential units, grants will be limited to 25% of the Project costs up to a maximum of $10,000 for each residential unit.  Further, no more than three grants for residential units will be allowed for each individual building project or address. The Grant Committee reserves the right to determine if the Project is subject to this limitation.  For commercial project, grants will be limited to 25% of the Project costs up to a maximum of $50,000 per project or address. The Grant Committee reserves the right to determine if the Project is subject to this limitation. For Façade improvements, up to $5000 will be awarded for 25’ fronts and $10,000 for 50’ fronts. The Grant Committee reserves the right to determine if the Project is subject to this limitation.

The Grant Committee, in its discretion, may allow the funding of certain building improvements and may disallow certain building improvements submitted in an application depending on it’s evaluation of the condition of the property and the effect of the proposed improvements on the surrounding area.

Generally, applications for grants must be submitted and approved before the Applicant commences work on the Project. However, the Grant Committee may approve grant funding for a part or all of an ongoing project provided the application is submitted at least 30 days before the Project is completed.

This Grant Program will be administered as a reimbursement program unless the Grant Committee approves a different procedure.  Generally, grant payments will be made upon receipt from the Applicant of an application for payment itemizing the improvements for which reimbursement is requested.

An Applicant whose Project includes a commercial business and who have received grants must remain in business at the property where grant money was invested for a minimum period of three years in order to complete the Applicant’s eligibility.  An Applicant whose Project includes a residential living unit must make every reasonable effort to rent the unit, and until doing so, must maintain the unit in good, tenantable condition and available for occupancy at reasonable rental rates during this 3-year period.  If an Applicant fails to comply with this 3-year requirement, the Applicant will be required to reimburse the City of Topeka for the full amount of all grants received for the Project.

This program is not intended to award grants for maintenance of existing businesses unless specifically approved by the Grant Committee.

·       Other items may be allowed at the discretion of the Grant Committee.

·       An Applicant  who is awarded a grant from this program will  have 30 days from the date the grant is awarded to agree to the terms and conditions of the program, demonstrate his or her financial capability to complete the project and sign a Grant Participation Contract.  This deadline may be extended by the Grant Committee upon written request of the Applicant.
·       If a business or building owner agrees to accept the incentive grant, the Applicant is required to demonstrate measurable progress toward completion of the renovation within 30 days from the date of the Grant Participation Contract is fully executed by all parties.  If no significant progress of the renovation can be demonstrated by the 90th day following the date of full execution of this contract, the grant may be revoked, unless suitable arrangements have been made and approved by the Grant Committee.
·       Applicants must provide proof that all contractors retained to work on the project have appropriate licenses and insurance including general liability and workers compensation insurance.
·       Grant applicant must sign and comply with the terms of the ADA Compliance Certification (see attached sheet).
·       Any departure from the criteria set forth in this Grant Program description must be approved by the Grant Committee and ratified by the Downtown Topeka, Inc. Executive Committee.

Shelby Sugar Shop

This is an interesting move on WPG's part. You have to admire anyone getting into retailing today. What this store will provide a roadmap to the good malls they manage on behalf of the stockholders. Yes; if it is good enough for Shelby it just may be good enough for rent-paying tenants? 



Now, will Shelby step out into the real world? Is the concept ready to survive in the real world where hard-working entrepreneurs have to invest their own capital and sweat equity? This will be the litmus test for the concept. Can the concept grow legs?? I'm a big gambler and I will short Shelby just like Brad Thomas would WPG. 

I will have to complement the store designer and the idea of filling the vacancy; you have so much space in Topeka. 

The real question I have is this going to add value to my WPG stock?

Subject: Building request
Importance: High

Real Estate Partners,

Please see specs for a building request I just received. I will be out next week so please send fliers for qualified buildings to BOTH me and Freddy Mawyin (copied on this email) and he will take care of submitting the buildings to the prospect.

Real Estate Needs
  • Existing Buildings Only / no build to suit options
  • Purchase only
  • 5,000 to 7,000 sq ft for production and an additional 8,000 to 10,000 inside or out for inventory storage. 
    • The company is looking for a building with character they can rehab and make their own. For example if there is an old school or other building that doesn’t fit the typical “industrial building look or purpose” that’s ok. The company has a philosophy of taking the old and making it new so they want to find a building where they can do something similar.
  • Ceiling height minimum 16ft
  • Docks – Ideally at least 1 drive-in but not required
  • No rail needs
  • Close proximity to interstate access (I-70, I-35 etc.)


Please send fliers to both Freddy and me by end of day on Monday, March 19th.

Thanks,
