Topeka redevelopment board reviews Sycamore Grove covenants; no formal action taken
Summary
At a May 4 special meeting, the Topeka Redevelopment Commission heard a presentation on proposed covenants and marketing for the Sycamore Grove Housing Development from Ryan Chasey but did not vote on or adopt covenant changes. The agenda was approved and the meeting adjourned at 5:11 p.m.
The Topeka Redevelopment Commission on May 4, 2026 heard a presentation and discussion about proposed covenants and marketing plans for the Sycamore Grove Housing Development but took no formal action on the covenants.
Ryan Chasey, representing Sycamore Grove Housing Development, discussed housing and marketing matters for the project. The transcript records that the board and the town attorney addressed “covenants and revisions,” but it does not include the text of the covenants, the precise revisions proposed, or any vote on those specific provisions.
Before the project discussion, the commission approved the meeting agenda “as presented with flexibility.” Board Vice President Marlynn Mast moved to approve the agenda and Adam Lambright seconded; the vote was recorded as “All Ayes.” The special meeting began at 4:00 p.m. and adjourned at 5:11 p.m., with Ray Folk moving to adjourn and Mark Webster seconding; that motion also passed with “All Ayes.”
Present for the meeting were President Harold Gingerich, Vice President Marlynn Mast, board members Ray Folk, Adam Lambright and Mark Webster. Clerk-Treasurer Lea Parks recorded the roll. Others in attendance included Stewart Bender, Town Attorney Bill Eberhard, Steve Schrock, Ryan Chasey (Sycamore Grove Housing Development), Justin Geigley, John Troyer and Jim Raber.
The transcript does not specify next procedural steps, staff assignments, or deadlines for returning with amended covenant language. Because the record lists the topic of covenants and marketing but provides no covenant text or formal motions on those items, there is no formal action to report on the substance of the Sycamore Grove covenants from this meeting.
The commission adjourned at 5:11 p.m.
