Board Member King: Second.
Chair Pardo: All in favor?
The Board Members (Collectively): Aye.
Chair Pardo: Is there any discussion amongst the board members regarding
Resolutions 1 through 6?
Board Member Gabela: No, I just wanted to come --
Vice Chair Carollo: RE.2, what is the amount that we're giving for each unit?
Ms. Jones: Commissioner, the amount that we're giving for each unit I believe is a
little bit less than $100,000. Less than 200 -- my apologies, less than 200,000. We
have 11 --
Vice Chair Carollo: No, no, no, no. You have almost $282,000.
Ms. Jones: No, so my --
Vice Chair Carollo: There's 11 units.
Ms. Jones: May I correct?
Vice Chair Carollo: Yes.
Ms. Jones: So part of the project we have, it's a mixed unit development project. It's
a historic building that was in the City built in 1926.
Vice Chair Carollo: Right.
Ms. Jones: On the second floor of the building, we have 11 units, affordable housing
units. On the first floor of the property, we also have commercial and retail space.
We have a restaurant that is now being fully rebuilt and rehabilitated. We are also
asking the owner of the property and owner of the restaurant to train some of our
girls and students from Pace Center in the City. We're asking them to provide
training to children who are leaving Chapman and who are leaving Camillus House
so that they have an early introduction into the workforce. At the end of this
program, they'll receive a certificate. So it's not just the affordable housing units,
Commissioner, it's also a complete rehab of the entire property.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, but how many square feet do you have in retail space?
And how many of that does the restaurant encumber?
Ms. Jones: Hold on for me just a few minutes, Commissioner, so I can provide the
details. I'm having the owner of the property approach.
Board Member Gabela: Can I ask you a question, Isiaa? Is this the famous property
-- is this the famous restaurant that we've been at it for eight years?
Ms. Jones: Yes, yes, Commissioner. This is the Kush by Lokal restaurant. It is right
beside our Wynwood Works project. When we went to the area, we realized that this
property was -- it was a dilapidated building and needed -- you know, in need of
serious repair. We realized that we had the opportunity to bring in some affordable
OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 4 Printed on 8/13/2024
OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency
Meeting Minutes July 25, 2024
housing units for the people that work in the restaurant. So Matt is the owner of the
restaurant. May you please approach?
Matthew Kuscher: Hello, Matthew Kuscher, 2003 North Miami Avenue. Did you
have a specific question or did you want me to just start speaking? It's my first time,
Sony.
Vice Chair Carollo: Well, I had asked a question of the executive director of how
many square feet of retail space do we have in the building, and how much of that
was for you and the restaurant?
Mr. Kuscher: So, I believe 60 percent is for affordable housing. And there's --
Vice Chair Carollo: No, no, that's not my question.
Ms. Jones: The retail space on the first floor.
Vice Chair Carollo: Just retail space.
Mr. Kuscher: Yeah, so we have apartments on the second floor and on the first floor.
So it's 4,000 square feet on both levels. And there's apartments on the entire second
floor and also on the first floor.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so the retail space, including apartments that are also on
the first floor out of the 11 is 4,000 square feet.
Mr. Kuscher: Yeah, the building is 4,000 square feet. So again, the second floor is,
with both floors, is 7,000 square feet but --
Vice Chair Carollo: Both floors, 7,000.
Mr. Kuscher: Yeah, so --
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so it's not 8,000.
Mr. Kuscher: Yeah, so like 60 percent of it is --
Vice Chair Carollo: What is -- what -- what is your retail space out of that 7,000?
Mr. Kuscher: It's the rest, so it's -- sorry, it should be in the briefing notes here. It's
about 6, 12, 15 -- I guess that it's about 2,500 square feet.
Vice Chair Carollo: Approximately 2,500 square feet.
Mr. Kuscher: Of retail, yeah.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, and how much is the restaurant encumber of that space?
Mr. Kuscher: About 40 percent of that, sir. I'm looking for exact numbers here.
Vice Chair Carollo: A thousand square feet.
Mr. Kuscher: Yeah, so if I do the quick math in my head, it's about 1,700 square feet,
and the restaurant is about 1,500 square feet. Sony.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. How many people are you employing in the restaurant?
It's a small restaurant, very, small.

OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency
Meeting Minutes July 25, 2024
Mr. Kuscher: Sure. Hold on a second.
Ms. Jones: For Kush, 1 believe we have about 40 to 50 people at this restaurant. And
then --
Vice Chair Carollo: In a small restaurant like that? How many square feet again did
you say?
Mr. Kuscher: 1,500 square feet is the restaurant.
Vice Chair Carollo: 1,500.
Mr. Kuscher: It's a small restaurant. We've been there for 10 years.
Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, but 40, 50 people in a restaurant of 1,500 square feet --
Mr. Kuscher: Yeah, I have -- I serve -- I have about 200 employees between all my
restaurants --
Vice Chair Carollo: I'm not talking about -- no, no, no.
Mr. Kuscher: -- and I have 45 to 50 in that restaurant.
Vice Chair Carollo: Please answer my questions on this restaurant --
Mr. Kuscher: 45 to 50.
Vice Chair Carollo: -- where we're giving you the money.
Mr. Kuscher: 45 to 50.
Vice Chair Carollo: Seems like a lot of people in that restaurant.
Mr. Kuscher: We do good volume. We've been there for 10 years. We've won a lot of
awards, so I have a scratch kitchen. We prep everything in-house.
Vice Chair Carollo: Are you the part owner of the building or just the restaurant --
Mr. Kuscher: So --
Vice Chair Carollo: -- or you lease the restaurant?
Mr. Kuscher: -- 1 am the sole owner of the building. It was a dilapidated building
that was set to be demolished that I took over because I didn 't want my restaurant to
die.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay.
Mr. Kuscher: And that's why I'm here, because I'm trying to move forward with it.
Vice Chair Carollo: Alright. How much are you putting in to rehabilitate the
building?
Mr. Kuscher: I've already spent a million and a half;and I'm ready to put another
$3 million in there. So the whole project's around $7 million and we're asking for
3.1. So, I'm not a rich guy. I'm a restaurant guy and this is a -- I'm not a big
developer here.

Meeting Minutes July 25, 2024
Vice Chair Carollo: No, but three and a half million it's not money for a poor guy
either. It's serious money.
Mr. Kuscher: Yeah, well financing.
Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah and not everybody walks in that's got a building like this
with a small restaurant that gets that kind of money. What I'd like to be sure of is
that outside of whatever money he's put in already, that he claims he's put in, based
on what he said, he's going to put in an equal amount to our 3.1, that he matches our
3.1 with another 3.1.
Ms. Jones: Absolutely, Commissioner.
Vice Chair Carollo: And we only give money out -- and this would be part of what I
would put as a resolution, if it's approved by this board -- that we only give monies
out at the same time he's putting an equal amount.
Ms. Jones: Absolutely, Commissioner.
Vice Chair Carollo: So he's got some -- something in this too.
Ms. Jones: Absolutely. And we also have in the resolution language that we do not
provide a CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) financing until the full
financing is set up for the entire project. So there is language to support Pr that.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, but we're going to have from here forward, not whatever
he did in the past, an equal amount that he's going to invest in it. So there's no
mistake on it. Okay?
Ms. Jones: Yes, Commissioner.
Vice Chair Carollo: And -- all right.
Ms. Jones: Thank you. And Commissioner Gabela, I wanted to --
Board Member Gabela: Yeah, I have some questions. Go ahead, I'm sorry.
Ms. Jones: 1 wanted to correct you. I believe when you were asking about what
restaurant it is, it is not the one on our building.
Board Member Gabela: Okay.
Ms. Jones: This is a separate property.
Board Member Gabela: That's what I wanted to make clear, because I've got a
problem with that eight year guy that's been there for eight years and nothing --
Ms. Jones: I know.
Board Member Gabela: -- has been done about it. This is not the same gentleman.
Ms. Jones: Not the same gentleman.
Board Member Gabela: This is somebody else, okay.
Ms. Jones: This is a different -- different property.

Mr. Kuscher: 1 have a nice speech prepared. 1 just got a little nervous here, so if you
want to hear it, 'm ready to do it, but if you don't, then --

- somebody else. I repeat, this is not the one that we spoke of that they've been at it

Vice Chair Carollo: -- you're better off not to give a speech and we vote on it.
Mr. Kuscher: All right. I'll (UNINTELLIGIBLE). 1 had some of my kitchen guys who
actually lived upstairs coming in today to talk about how it affected them.
Vice Chair Carollo: Well, you never know what could be said that night make
anybody here change their mind.
