Developer‑requested benefit district for Barnhart Estates explained; residents support paving
Summary
Staff told commissioners Barnhart Estates’ developer (in a second‑phase sale situation) requested a benefit district to pay for paved roads; some lots have sold so not every owner has signed, but current residents and the developer support paving to address muddy conditions.
Staff explained a developer‑requested resolution to create a benefit district for Barnhart Estates and noted the request differs from typical developer submissions because this is a second‑phase owner situation.
"The original developer has sold to another person and a couple of lots have sold and that original developer still has a couple of lots," Lynn said, describing why not all owners have signed. Lynn said residents who live in the development now support paving the roads due to persistent muddy conditions and asked commissioners whether they had concerns; commissioners signaled no objections during agenda review.
Staff characterized the request as standard in form but unusual in ownership status and said the benefit district would allow the developer and residents to fund paving rather than postpone improvements. No formal action was taken at agenda review; staff will present the resolution on the March 12 agenda.
