CDD staff warns sidewalks could trigger public-access obligations; board considers excluding sidewalks
Summary
CDD staff said funding sidewalks could create a public-access obligation and advised excluding sidewalks from CDD-funded work; removing sidewalks lowers the requested contribution from $145,719.57 to $83,500.
District Manager Chuck Adams told supervisors that CDDs typically do not fund sidewalks that would create a destination within gated areas because doing so can trigger general public-access requirements. The comment arose after the HPCA presented a list of expenses for a proposed Fitness Center Building that highlighted Site Sidewalks among potential CDD-eligible items.
District Engineer Kurt Heath and staff discussed that the HPCA's current cost list lacks sufficiently granular line items to determine precisely which costs are CDD-eligible. Adams said excluding sidewalk costs brought the CDD-requested contribution down to $83,500 for support infrastructure such as drainage and earthwork, which staff believe would avoid creating public-access obligations.
Board members and staff agreed a more detailed cost breakdown and engineer certification of eligible expenses are needed before any funding is approved. The matter will return to a future Regular Meeting for further consideration.
