Condos for retired KU staff unfinished, owner says
By MARY ANN COSTELLO Staff Reporter
The renovation of Renz Apartments, 1301 Louisiana St. to condominiums for retired KU staff, faculty and alumni is running slightly behind schedule, one of the owners of the property said Monday.
Steve Clark, reactor for the condominiums and part-owner of the property, said that a model condominium would not be ready to show for at least a month. The condominiums will be renamed Huntington on the Hill.
ORIGINALLY, A MODEL condominium was to be ready June 1, with occupancy of the condominiums scheduled for September.
Clark said that he expected the condominiums would be ready for 06/24.
The reason for the delay, he said, is the owners' desire to do it "100 percent."
"The delay is partly a result of the requirements we've been putting on our architect," Clark said.
He said that the architect would present about four plans and that he hoped one of them would be acceptable.
Clark said that the owners were looking for the best quality at the most
implement cost and that they expected to have the prices established and architect's drawings ready within a few days.
CLARK SAID THAT the exterior of the building would be completely different but that the interior walls would remain mostly unchanged.
A wrought-iron fence will be built around the garage area for security and a key will be needed to enter the door and enclosed stairways inside, he said.
Clark said the exact price for the condominiums could not be established until he had reviewed the cost for renovation. But, he said, the condominiums might sell in the upper $60,000 range.
Mary Pat Hermann of Property Management Services, 111 W. 8th St., manages Renz Apartments, and she manages the 15 apartments were now occupied.
He said that because the condominiums would be restricted to retired faculty, staff, and alumni, each unit would be home there as little maintenance as possible
ALTHOUGH THE PROJECT is still in the planning stage, Clark said, letters were sent to people who might be interested in buying condominiums.
The apartments are being leased by the month for the summer. Clark said Renz residents were informed of the move to condominiums more than a year ago.
Remodeling has been delayed at Huntington on the Hill Condominiums at 13th and Lousiana streets. The apartment building is being turned into condominiums for retired faculty, staff and alumni.
Hermann said the Renz residents she was acquainted with were living there because they only wanted a place to live for a month or so.
Renz Apartments are now being rented for $156 a month for a one-bedroom apartment and $250 a month for a two-bedroom apartment.
MARTIN HENRY, vice president for property at the Kansas University Endowment Association, said that Sprague Apartments, 1400 Llane Lane, was now the only housing for retired Kansas State was associated with the University.
The Endowment Association owns the Sprague Apartments. There are nine apartments and they are all occupied, Henry said.

Anderson, a millionaire, was the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a hot-air balloon. He achieved his world record in 1978 by crossing from Presque Isle, Maine to Miseray, France in his "Double Eagle II" balloon.
East Germany or Czechoslovakia --- only 30 miles from the crash site.
Anderson, 48, and Ida, 49, competing in an international balloon race that started Sunday in Paris, died when the gondola plummeted into a Bavarian forest near the village of Schoenfeld. 18 miles north of Schweinfurt.
A race spokesman said that both men had radioed East Germany in an attempt to obtain clearance to fly over them but were refused permission to do so.
Police and aviation experts are investigating the possibility that Anderson and Ida had tried a forced landing to avoid flying eastward into
Race officials said the balloonists were denied permission to enter either East German or Czechoslovakian air space before the race began.

The West German prosecutor said an autopsy of the balloonists' bodies showed that both men sustained "massive" internal injuries.

The employee, Mary McAnaw, former chief of surgery at the VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, has filed suit against the VA officials contending they violated her constitutional rights by transferring her to a VA hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
TOPERA — A federal judge indicated yesterday he would follow a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and dismiss allegations of constitutional violations filed by a Veteran's Administration employee against the VA.
In the long-standing dispute, McAnaw claims she was transferred in retaliation for complaining about drug experiments conducted by a VA psychiatrist in Leavenworth. The Kansas City Times reported Monday that the agency's Walter Brown identified an agreement with the Food and Drug Administration restricting him from treating humans with experimental drugs.
Pilots were reportedly denied OK
SCHWEINFURT, West Wien — American balloonists Maxie Anderson and Don Ida may have been trying to avoid flying over communist East Germany when they were killed in a bombing to make a forced landing, officials said yesterday.
McAnaw contended her free speech rights were violated by the transfer because it was done to rid the VA hospital of her allegations. But the Supreme Court ruled June 13 that federal employees who suffer retaliation for speaking against fraud or waste in their job cannot sue their superiors for violating their constitutional rights.
"Their balloon had a mechanism that allowed them to dump the gondola while hovering only a few feet off the
McAnaw's trial had been scheduled to start July 18, but Rogers said it might be delayed several days.
