TODAY WAS A HUGE STEP FORWARD FOR CHERRY ON TOP/LENEXA!
After many days of emails, coordination and learning about coding terminology....the plans have been turned into 'Chris' at the Lenexa City Hall. This is a huge milestone as we had to work with 2 architectural firms....our Cherry On Top architect and a local architect. The local architect was for permitting only(before plans can be turned in for a building permit a KS architect must review and sign them)....a lovely little tidbit that we found out about late in the game. So, off I went to the local architect, to the printer and then to City Hall where I put on a pretty blouse...reapplied my lip gloss and strutted my super-nice smile. I tried to work any magic I have left...to influence a quick and painless approval. I even got to know Lily the lovely secretary who helped us with all the paperwork! Who knows how she might be able to help! There is a 10 day waiting period where certainly there will be additional information that they will require. After we re-sub mitt the plans with corrections or additions per their request, it will be another 10 day waiting period....If you do the math...We are looking at a mid-October construction start. More time to wait and get organized....In the meantime, we are meeting with the leasing agent with Oak Park Mall next week who is a great Lady who hails from Nebraska....got to love those ties. American Girl Doll store opened up 2 weeks ago...and they took in over $350,000 in 3 days...the spot we are looking at is around the corner from them next to an arcade and across from Justice....Much to consider and much excitement about this possibility.
More soon!
