Dunes/Lucky Ranch Right-of-Way Fair-Share Dispute
Summary
The Dunes developer is spending about $2 million improving streets around Lucky Ranch, and two non-developer parcel owners will be billed roughly $50,000 per home when they build. A local engineer argued the number should be closer to $25,000 and asked Public Works to recheck it; the developer defended the estimate. The council approved the agreement anyway.

Impact analysis
No immediate city cost — the city only reimburses the developer when the two parcel owners pull building permits.
The developer is made whole, and future homebuilders on the two parcels get finished streets they contribute toward.
The owner of 665 Lindberg faces a fair-share bill the owner's representative contends is roughly double what the work should cost.
