April 16, 2024Community Redevelopment Agency Detailed Minutes - Final STREET PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. (Fiscal Impact: $150,000) (Staff Contact: Kimberly Vazquez) Kimberly Vasquez, CRA Project Manager, presented the item, stating it is a Strategic Investment Program Grant Application for Big Tree Barbeque Inc. Last month, the Board approved a Property Disposition and a Development Agreement with Big Tree to improve the vacant properties located just west of Powerline Road and between NW 4th Court and NW 5th Street. A provision within that agreement allows them to return before the Board with a Strategic Investment Program Grant Application for those improvements. The site improvements include the construction of a 1,500-square-foot restaurant building with a 300-square-foot covered patio, infrastructure improvements consisting of water, sewer, and electricity to this location, as well as parking lot improvement, dumpster enclosure, western perimeter wall, landscaping, and paving. Furthermore, Ms. Vasquez noted that the restaurant's interior includes a kitchen and service area of a little over 500 square feet, a dining room, restrooms, and an outdoor covered dining area. Under this application, Big Tree is requesting everything for ground-up construction, which means the structure itself and site improvements, including utilities, a grease trap, a parking lot, landscaping, a perimeter wall, and more. Their eligible cost under this application is a little over $800,000, and the program contribution they're asking for under this application is the maximum amount of $150,000. The Northwest Advisory Committee reviewed the application and recommended approval at their last meeting on April 1st. Lastly, Ms. Vasquez stated that upon completion, Big Tree must submit for a permit within six months of approval, start construction within one year, and complete it within a two-year time frame. However, as per their Development Agreement approved last month, they stated they'll probably be completed approximately a year from now. Once completed, Big Tree will provide employment opportunities and not only serve the immediate community but also attract other patrons from the area. Staff recommends approval of this Strategic Investment Program Grant Application. Mayor Hardin sought public input on the item and, receiving none, he moved on to Board discussion. Commissioner Fournier raised concerns about safeguarding the CRA's investments. She inquired about the $800,000 capital structure investment, encompassing equity, debt financing, and strategic investment funds, and requested clarification on how these components would be impacted in a downside scenario such as a construction halt. Ms. Vazquez explained that the CRA's investment is in the form of a reimbursable grant, meaning the CRA would only pay it at the end of the project's completion. If the recipients opt for bank financing, as they plan to do, the bank will hold the funds in escrow. As the recipients submit their construction payment requests, the CRA will review those payouts, but the money would only be released at the end, since it is a reimbursable grant. A motion was made by Vice Chair McGee, seconded by Page 3City of Pompano Beach
