Agenda 11/14/2017 Item #16B 111/14/2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation for the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to approve a one year extension of the project completion date set forth in the Commercial Building Improvement Grant Agreement between the CRA and Western Bike & Auto, LLC due to certain permitting and hurricane delays. _____________________________________________________________________________________ OBJECTIVE: To receive approval for a one year extension for the Commercial Building Improvement Grant Agreement between the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Western Bike & Auto, LLC due to certain permitting and Hurricane delays. BACKGROUND: During the permitting process for the January 24, 2017 approved grant agreement (Exhibit A) for exterior improvements ($16,830), the applicant discovered additional modifications to the building are needed due to Code requirements. The applicant has completed the permit application and a building permit is still under review. The applicant is requesting an extension be granted to allow additional time for the permit and work to be completed, one additional year is requested to complete the project. CONSIDERATIONS: Western Bike & Auto, LLC executed a Commercial Building Improvement Grant agreement with the CRA on January 24, 2017. The Grant Program requires grantees to complete work within one year of approval and the Program also permits time extensions in cases where projects cannot be completed within the grant year. To qualify for a time extension, grantees must demonstrate good faith to complete the project by applying for permits and commence construction in a timely manner. Specifically, the Commercial Building Improvement Grant Program allows time extensions of the project completion date if the applications for permits were submitted to Collier County within four months after execution of the grant agreement and construction of the improvements commenced within six months after execution of the grant agreement. The applications for permits were submitted to Collier County on August 29, 2017 and construction of the improvements have not commenced. The business was in high season to begin the permit process within the first four months and did not anticipate a Hurricane delaying the permitting process further. The agreements provides for a waiver of the policy requirements. The Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA Local Advisory Board reviewed the extension request and recommended extending the Agreement from December 6, 2017 to December 6, 2018. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board action.- JAB FISCAL IMPACT: Funding in the amount of $16,830 is available in the FY 18 budget. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Redevelopment Agency approve and authorize the CRA Chairman to execute the Western Bike & Auto, LLC Grant Agreement extension for one year.
