We are going on a year and half on this deal

Subject: Reflections and Requests for Progress in Topeka

Dear Tony,

Reflecting upon the journey we have undertaken in the past year and a half; I can't help but think about the approval of the Craig McCullah deal. It was a victory hard-fought, facing opposition even from the City Council person representing that district. Despite the challenges and hurdles, we managed to secure the green light for a much-needed development, shining a spotlight on Topeka's housing needs and the growth potential in district two.

Now, as the hands of time continue to move, we find ourselves embroiled in another endeavor – one that might seem less monumental on the surface yet is still integral to our city's progress. Over a year and a half into the struggle, and we are still striving to relocate to Pizza Hut location by a mere 675 feet. It is as if there is an uncanny knack for everything in Topeka taking exactly a year and a half. These experiences have given rise to a feeling of disillusionment, particularly considering how those involved have been treated. The Flynn Group, with its vast network of 2400 restaurants and a staggering 75,000 employees, seems to have fallen short of ease when it comes to navigating Topeka's processes. This brings me to the question: where do we rank on the scale of "cities' easy to deal with?"

In the medical field, there is a principle that guides decision-making: procedures or tests should only be pursued if they are likely to alter the outcome. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, the outcome remains unchanged. Our situation bears a resemblance – it is time to cut through the noise and simplify. Will the City of Topeka approve this deal, yes, or no? If the answer is an affirmative yes, then let us rally behind it, putting aside the endless reports and studies that often hinder progress. Let us focus on action, on building and moving forward.

Regarding the "plat," it is as it stands. However, I am curious – when does the Flynn Group find its place on the fast track? It is as if the word "expedite" has been lost in translation. True economic development starts at the grassroots, in the neighborhoods that shape the city's character. The east side deserves the same level of attention as any grand project. These are the deals that have the power to transform the city's fabric, adding to the revenue stream that sustains us. A new building worth $1.8 million and sales tax revenue of $1.9 million might not make headlines, but they certainly contribute to a stronger tax base.

Tony, I would like to propose an idea to you – could you consider reaching out to Matt Pivarnik, CEO of the Greater Topeka Partnership? A portion of our economic development funds could be allocated to assist the Flynn Group in finally connecting to the sewer system. It is a small gesture, yet one that speaks volumes about our commitment to Topeka's progress. It is a way of saying "thank you for not giving up on Topeka."

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication, Tony. Let us keep pressing forward, with our sights set on a Topeka that thrives on both grand achievements and the everyday victories that define a resilient city.

Respectfully

H

Subject: RE: 37th and Gage

 

Henry,

 

Here is our understanding of your zoning options at this point…

 

·       Our big goal is to complete a master plan for the surrounding 500-acre urban growth area with a market study component to look at what the future land use, absorption, and phasing could look like and how to finance the infrastructure prior to programming any City capital investments or approving development. My hope is to start this plan in 2019 if not sooner.

·       We can support a limited C-2 re-zoning up to 6-8 acres without an overall master plan. This roughly equates to 80-100k square feet of retail development. I don't know if that will require an extension of SW 37^th/Southwest Parkway or other streets to the west. Traffic study would guide us there.

·       We can support a larger Mixed Use conceptual PUD on entire 18 acres without an overall master plan for the 500 acres. Mixed use would include C-2 commercial, office, multi-family, or attached dwelling units connected within same building and/or project area. This probably will trigger extension of streets prior to or commensurate with development.

• Both options assume…

• Full 18 acres included in platting, dedication of ROW, annexation, stormwater management study, traffic impact study, etc.
• Collaboration between City team and applicant team on preferred street/block layout absent an overall master plan
• Timing of road extensions will be dependent upon development phasing, traffic study, and further discussion with Public Works
• All pre-development costs and public infrastructure improvements are expected to be born by developer although street/sewer work could be explored for City participation or financing tools (e.g., CID, benefit district)
• Any re-zoning/platting west of 18-acre tract can be supported after overall master plan is completed for the larger area and is consistent with its recommendations for land use, phasing, infrastructure financing, etc.  

 

Since you're sharing videos, I think it would be good to share our LUGMP video which sums up the City's smart growth management policies https://youtu.be/kMK8alutJHo. This is what our Governing Body has adopted and what guides us. In short, our priorities are to grow first where our services are already in place…a more vertical footprint and not so much of a horizontal footprint. We have over 10 years of planned residential unit inventory on recently platted lots and increasingly more vacant retail space to repurpose. Improving the roads/utilities we have and redeveloping from within is fiscally responsible growth for all of us.

 

However, we do see the need to plan for the next natural urban growth area which I believe you are at the doorstep of. To that end we want to get a plan in place so the rest can follow when it makes the most fiscal sense for the City. I think you're the first domino and it's important to get that right absent an overall master plan.     

 

Does that help? Did I miss anything?
