RECOMMENDATION:

Subject: Club Space Request for.
Assistance
References:
Enclosures: Resolution
It is respectfully recommended that the CRA Board of Directors adopt the attached resolution authorizing
the Executive Director to provide a grant to Club Space for 25% of the impact fees levied by the Miami
Dade Water and Sewer Authority (WASA); Further authorizing the issuance of an 18 month loan at the
LIBOR rate in an amount not to exceed 75% of the remaining WASA levy where said loan will include a
provision that would allow the CRA to make a demand on the same with a Thirty (30) Day Notice to Club
Space; Further providing that the total funding must not exceed $200,000 for both the grant and loan
package together
JUSTIFICATION:
Assisting projects of this type is exactly what CRA's were designed to do. The cost of providing
infrastructure for infancy or pioneer projects is almost cost prohibitive to most developers. The CRA can,
and should where financially feasible, step in and the bridge the gap with some sort of combination
Grant/Loan assistance, on a case by case basis, to make this type of project economically viable for the
investors. As these pioneer projects come on line it becomes easier for the next set of investors to see the
potential and realize that the risks are somewhat minimized by this type of assistance.

Re: Club Space, 34 NE 11`h Street, Miami, FL.
Dear Sirs,
We are appealing to the CRA for relief from the costs associated with the WASA impact
fees assessment of $275,726.05 plus $84,278.17 for the change of use at 24 NE 11t'
street, Miami, FL. from warehouse to Club Space's new home. In 2000, at Club Space's
original location, 142 NE 11t' Street, we spent $120,000.00 installing the water main
extension to comply with WASA requirements.
These latest assessments have created a financial hardship on our current project serious
enough to put the completion of said project in jeopardy. Since it's opening in 2000,
Club Space has employed more than 120 persons of whom 40% are African -American, as
well as, other minorities from the surrounding areas. Moreover, please find the enclosed
copy documenting the more than tripling of the property values in this area since we
pioneered entertainment in this mostly isolated and blighted area. We wish to continue to
be strong pioneers of the development of this area. To do so, we will desperately be in
need of the CRA's assistance.
Hence, we respectfully request to the CRA Board of Directors for a $200,000 grant to
enable us to complete our project and continue to provide a flow of patronage within the
downtown area. With your help, vision and cooperation, we can ensure that the Parkwest
Entertainment District will continue to thrive in a most positive way and will fulfill our
envision for this area.
Thank you, in advance, for your consideration of this request.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (305) 799-0476.
Sincerely,
George Nunez

CRA Executive Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Date: February 18, 2003 File:
Subject: Supplemental Security and
Aesthetic Maintenance for
Margaret Pace Park
References:
Enclosures: ' Resolution
It is respectfully recommended that the CRA Board of Directors adopt the attached resolution requesting the
Omni Advisory Board, in tandem with the businesses, hotels, condominium associations and other
interested parties to "adopt" the Margaret Pace Park for the purpose of providing supplemental security and
aesthetic maintenance subject to approval of the City of Miami. Further, it is recommended, that the Board
instruct the Executive Director to work with both, the Chairperson of the Omni Advisory Board and the
Director of the City of Miami Parks and Recreation Department, to determine what items are appropriate for
support from the various entities and develop an implementation plan acceptable to the City of Miami.
0 USTIFICATION:
•
With the dedication of Margaret Pace Park this past January 16th, and the anticipated turn over of the park
from the General Contractor to the City of Miami Parks and Recreation Department by early March, the
increase of use of this facility has been nothing short of phenomenal. To say the park is packed everyday
into the evening and on the weekends is an understatement. In fact, the contractor is expediting his punch
list as quickly as he can because items are being broken or damaged while still ,under his control. We are
anticipating only further use as the word that the park is operational spreads. It is the intent of this
resolution to entice the local residents to "adopt" the park and assist, financially, or otherwise in its
maintenance, appearance, and repairs.
