CDD staff warns sidewalks could create public‑access obligations

Heritage Pines Community Development District Board of Supervisors · February 17, 2026

Summary

District staff told the Board that funding sidewalks as part of the HPCA fitness‑center project could create public‑access requirements; removing sidewalks would reduce the CDD portion of the bill to about $83,500, staff said.

District staff raised concerns that if the CDD funded sidewalk construction it could create public access obligations for the district. Chuck Adams, the District Manager, told supervisors that "typically CDDs are not [involved with sidewalks], as it creates a destination within the gates which might create general public access requirements."

Adams and the District Engineer discussed parsing the HPCA cost list to separate support infrastructure (drainage, earthwork, utilities) from potential amenity items such as sidewalks. Adams said taking out sidewalks would reduce the requested CDD contribution to about $83,500 for support infrastructure that does not create public access issues. The Board asked staff to provide a certified, itemized breakdown so the Board can decide at its Regular Meeting whether the district should fund any portion of the project.
