These funds are not intended to substitute housing resources specified for lower incomes. Therefore, if a community needs to develop housing for a population that includes households below 60% of AMI, KHRC has the right to make an exception on a circumstantial basis.

Hickory BACK TO AGENDA Ottawa, KS 66067 Attn: Melanie Lantis, Community Development Director RE: Moderate Income Housing Grant Kansas Housing Resources Corporation To Whom it May Concern: Regarding your request for proposal (RFP), Platinum Properties, LLC would like to thank you for allowing it to present its project for consideration for a Moderate Income Housing (MIH) Grant from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC). It is an exciting opportunity to be able to partner with the City of Ottawa to provide much needed housing for our community. This project is somewhat unique to the City of Ottawa. It will provide needed affordable housing that will retain existing residents, attract new residents, attract new industry and, being located between first and second street on Walnut, help to revitalize our downtown area. I am a lifelong resident of Ottawa and have spent virtually my entire adult life as a developer/contractor in this community. In addition to being the owner of Wiseguys Construction, LLC since 1999, I formed Platinum Properties in 2017 as I realized the distinctive need for more affordable housing in this community. Platinum owns 4 single family homes, 18 duplexes/apartments, as well as 2 commercial properties in Ottawa, including joint ownership in The Bottle House Event Center. This project consists of a three story, 15,000 square foot mixed use commercial/ residential building in the C-4 district. Platinum has owned this property since 2021 with plans for development and has been exploring how to utilize this property for maximum benefit. Attached you will see the building consists of 5 three bedroom units each with an approximate square footage of 1185 sq. ft. It also houses 5 two bedroom units each with an approximate square footage of 1075 sq. ft. There is an additional “penthouse” apartment that is approximately 2200 sq. ft. The building will also contain 2 commercial units each approximately 1075 sq. ft. There is also a courtyard and on-site parking. Attached you will find plans for the building as well as site plans for a project that is ready to begin and will be completed within 18 months. This building already conforms to the existing C-4 requirements by the city zoning regulations. Having reviewed the regulations and stipulations from KHRC, this project squarely fits within the parameters to qualify for and MIH grant.
