Phase II Storm Water From May Educational Seminar

2008-06-17T10:43:00.003-04:00

If you missed the Gaston County Soil and Erosion with Storm Water Workshop on May 29th you missed information on the new Development Paradigm from the Federal and State Agencies being pushed down to the local enforcement at the City and County level such as:

Single Lot Soil and Erosion Permitting Requirements
Comprehensive Plan Requirements for single lot development within a large plan of development (subdivision).
And of course the full S&E Plans with BMP’s etc… for large or multi-lot developments.
Bill Duiguid the #2 Man at Dept. of Water Quality in Raleigh, outlined The State required interpretation of Storm Water Rules (might not be what you think and not in a good way).
You must now control and treat upstream storm water on your property
For me, new circle of density concept removes impervious to pervious ratio for determing low and high density. Your best assumption is over 10,000 sf impervious area or the use of curb and gutter as mandated by many citities is high density.
Local Requirements for Submittal of Phase II Storm Water Permit Applications include Financial Responsibility Form, Plan, Maintenance Manual for BMP's, Draft of Deed Restrictions, and 125% of Cost Completion Bond for 24 months.
Local Requirements for Close Out include Recorded Deed Restrictions, Recorded Maintenance Easements, Maintenance Manual Recorded as Deed Restriction, As Built Drwgs Sealed by Design Engineer, Sealed Letter of Compliance Design Engineer, and Electronic formatted As Built Drwgs for archive.
Maintenance requirements include City of Gastonia Maintenance Bond, Annual Inspection by Certified Inspector with report filed with City or County, and repairs as required

One of my Engineers estimates a Storm Water Phase II submittal will cost $7,000.00 to $10,000.00 and the BMP to comply with the requirement to removed 85% of the solids in sstorm water for high density development will be about $40,000.00. This is storm water only and not soil and erosion.

This will change the economics of small free standing buildings for offices, shops and businesses.

FYI - YOU NEED BOTH A SOIL AND EROSION PERMIT AND A STORM WATER PERMIT TO BEGIN GRADING

Green Building & Developing

2008-04-04T10:20:00.002-04:00

Green Building is a term that even the various organizations and associations prompting the idea and providing various certification programs cannot agree on. What we try to do to be green across our construction and development companies is utilize some basic ideas.

Starting with Site Work. I was a member of the County Committee to bring local control to our Soil and Erosion Program. ICM has taken advantage of being certified a Clean Water Contractor. I was a member of the County Storm Water Phase II Committee. We try to stay educated and informed about environmental laws, rules and ordinances and we use that knowledge to not only stay in compliance but to protect our water quality.

Our designs and use of materials utilize common sense green principles. We design with R-19 insulated roofs and R-13 walls. Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical design includes high efficiency HVAC systems and bay lighting. Steel is a recycled and recyclable material. We utilize steel structural framing, metal roofing, steel studs, and steel doors. Concrete is another reusable material and we have slab on grade floors and sometimes block walls. Brick and Glass are other green materials we use.

You don't need a certification to be "green". You just work with green ideas in mind and use common sense.

Sucellus Properties closed the loan on February 28th to build 16,500 sf of Flex Space at 4459 Posterity Court. This is the last available lot in 2T Park. Flex Space can be utilized for office, warehouse, showroom, retail, light manufacturing and even educational purposes.

Despite the current mortgage crisis we all know the Charlotte/Gastonia/Rock Hill area is growing. Growing to the point that for many businesses a single location does not adequately cover or service their clients anymore. Flex Space is ideal for a satellite or branch office. Here you can have salesman, servicemen, inventory, parts and support staff for Gaston County. Being close to I-85, South New Hope Rd and Hwy 321 you can base from here and serve Cherokee County, Gaffney, York County, York, Rock Hill, Shelby, Cleveland County, Lincolnton, Lincoln County, Hickory and Catawba County.

Whether for you one and only location or locating a satellite or branch this is the location. Sucellus is owned by the same people operating Taranis Properties with the other three Flex Space Buildings in 2T Park. Lease rates will include real estate property taxes, storm water fees, water, sewer, dumpster, and common area maintenance. There will be no CAMRA. Base Rates start at $7.50 per sf per year.

Change In Operations

2008-02-27T10:15:00.003-05:00

Being new to blogging in November of 2007 I thought you needed a constant stream of blogging to keep things fresh. What I found was it was hard, very hard to be fresh everyday and stay on message which was selling commercial real estate by providing information.

As you can see I did a listing page on February 1 and nothing has followed. That is the change in operations referred to above. Blog when you have something to say of importance. Right now those listings are the most important information I can provide. I hope to have a big announcement tomorrow but never announce before you close.

What The Fed Rate Cut Means in $$$$

2008-01-23T08:57:00.000-05:00

The Fed cut the rate 3/4% yesterday and are expected to cut another 1/2% at the end of the month. What does that mean in dollars and cents?

If you were to purchase my Kings Mountain Property, all three pieces in a bundle, with a downpayment and a mortgage for $250,000.00 assuming you got a prime rate loan amortizing over 20 years then:

Last Week Prime was 7-1/4% and each $10,000.00 borrowed was $79.04 times 25 = $1,976.00
This Week Prime is 6-1/2% and each $10,000.00 borrowed is $74.56 times 25 = $1,864.00
Expected Prime is 6% and each $10,000.00 borrowed is $71.65 times 25 = $1,791.25

A monthly savings of as much as $184.75. Smart investors are looking for bargains now and they will profit on the rebound.

Funding Questions For City And Then Atta Boy!

2008-01-14T10:51:00.000-05:00

I am neither pro nor con at this point on new plans for Downtown but as the Council explores Plans for Downtown Development please pay particular attention to the funding. There have been bold pronouncements declaring redevelopment of downtown can be accomplished without a tax increase for funding. The word property is missing in front of tax .

First case in point is electric rates are proposed to rise 7%. Does not the City of Gastonia take money from the Electric Fund and transfer it to the General Fund? So do the Electric Operations require funds or is it the General Fund? Is this raising money for downtown redevelopment costs?

Second case in point is the proposed recreation impact fee on new houses. Gazette article reports the costs of $25 million dollars total and $20 million dollars alone in the booming South area of Gastonia.These costs just covered the housing already approved. I believe a cost of providing this recreation was given as far less than $1,000.00 per home. Math says $25,000,000.00 divided by $1,000.00 for easy math is 25,000 new approved homes? Latest permit data shows average new home in Gastonia is about $163,000.00. At the current City of Gastonia Property Tax Rate of $0.53 per mil City Revenue on 25,000 new average homes would be $21,597,500.00 every year from which no recreation funds can be found? New revenue source for recreation frees money in the General Fund for other projects such as downtown?

There are multiple ways for a City government to raise money other than property tax but every one of those ways still rests squarely on the backs of the citizens. There is no free ride and this must be part of the Downtown Redevelopment Debate.

Good Job Michelle! The City of Gastonia through the work of Michelle Nance gave a seminar this past Friday on the Rehab Code. The Rehab Code is a powerful tool in working with existing buildings for repair, change of use and renovation. Property Owners would be smart to hire contractors and architects who learn to use this tool! Plus by sponsoring the work shop the City has signalled their approval and promotion of this tools use. Gaston County Code Officals were also attending so I have to think they see the potential in this tool as well.

What Are You Talking About

I was in the store yesterday looking to buy cranberry juice. So I go right to Ocean Spray the "name" brand. Thinking healthy I pick-up the 100% juice type. Now here is my latest health rant, I'm really watching hi fructose corn syrup consumption. I was in Mexico in December and a Coke made with cane sugar is like the Cokes I remember. Flying back I got a US Coke on the plane, with hi fructose corn sugar, and it didn't taste right, or good. Back to the cranberry juice, listed in the ingredients was hi fructose corn syrup. I mean in the 100% juice from Ocean Spray.

Now your thinking he is blogging just to blog and this can never have to do with real estate, construction or development but it does. Everybody has become conditioned to lowest price or lowest bid. Few people use the old formula of Value= (Price & Quality) and far too many use Value= Lowest Price. Well just like juice and soft drinks nothing in real estate, development or construction cannot be cheapened by how its made or what its made with. Low bidder is usually the guy who sees the least in a job.

This is why I have spent a career not seeking to be the low bidder but in providing more "bang" for the dollar. I want my clients to say, " I got more for my project dollars with him than I could have any where else".

Jan 2nd or Jan 3rd

2008-01-03T13:52:00.000-05:00

I had intended to come in on Jan 2nd ready to charge into 2008. Well 2007 held on for another day and the second turned into a clean-up day. Today is the Third and now with a newly organized desk and office I am ready to tackle 2008.

Having watch a lot of TV, football bowl games, during the Holidays I have a beef with some of the selective advertising by some metal building companies. They select all the positives of metal construction and tell you in a Wal-Mart style you can do even better by using a national company. Basicly the pitch is buy the package from us and save, save, save because there really isn't much else to a building project. People buy it because it is what they want to believe.

The reality is the package might be a large dollar item in the Scope of Work but the time it takes to order the building is small. Note I did not say design the building because designing the building involves interaction with local codes.

When you are ready to build think about the following: compliance with local zoning codes, site layout per local zoning codes, approval of storm water management plans to meet local ordinances, design and approval of local soil and erosion plans and now you think about designing a building but not just the metal package. Plans must be drawn for foundations, ingress and egress (doors and windows), fire protection (walls, smoke partitions, sprinklers), energy codes for HVAC and insulation, electrical plans, plumbing plans and up fit floor plans.

Why do you think the largest metal building manufacturing companies in the world use a network of local builders? Construction is a business that requires local knowledge and local presence. In the end the local Contractor has knowledge and experience to save you time and money far beyond the one time savings of a nationally marketed building package.
