Most of the work has been shopping-center redevelopment, commercial leasing and sales, mixed-use and TIF projects, plus residential and commercial sales when the deal is right. Advisory work is hands-on: development, zoning, platting, tax valuation, and broker opinions. 45 years of transactions. Still taking the complicated ones. Let’s do the deal. #mcre1

Discrimination hides in policy and is deeply rooted in Topeka's development issues.
So many developers have gone broke following the City policies. Taxpayer dollars pay both of you. You are the community experts and can give the best answers for the future.

The city's policy for extending sewer lines appears to be inequitably applied to property owners based on their proximity to existing sewer lines so I'm trying to wrap my head around how this works.
The way I understand the city's development policy (for properties within city limits) is that:
a) connecting to sewer is mandatory for new construction and;
b) the developer must pay for extending the sewer main up to and thru their development.
So here's the rub. To get the sewer to my property I have to extend it through public land. Assuming the publicly held properties bear no financial responsibility for the sewer extension, how are the costs associated with extending the line through the publicly held properties distributed among the privately held properties?
It appears that the method of extending sewer lines (based on the city's mandate to connect to sewer) is discriminatory based on one's location to existing infrastructure. I understand that those costs could be distributed equally among those privately held properties but that doesn't eliminate the disparity created by having to cover the cost of extending a line through public ground. I'm not arguing that the developer shouldn't pay for extending the line through their property. What I'm confused about is why I would have to pay to extend it through public land as well. Shouldn't the cost to extend the line through public land be paid for by the public? Just seems odd that a property owner within city limits has to pay to extend a line through public ground in order to comply with a public mandate.
I appreciate any clarification you can provide.
