The Louisville City Council VOTED AGAINST Staff Recommendations to REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER to PAY for these Public Infrastructure improvements
Staff recommended the Cost of All Near-term Transportation Improvements, on-site and off-site, be paid for by developer because "All of these Improvements are Fully Necessitated" to ensure adequate levels of service due to the Impact of Redtail Ridge
The City’s Long-range Plans Do Not Include ANY of the Improvements.
Louisville taxpayers will also be on the hook for long-term infrastructure maintenance and repair obligations.
A NO VOTE means the Redtail Ridge plan will be revised under a Public Review Process.
