Sidewalk fee-in-lieu versus waiver for church expansion
Louisville
Summary
Cornerstone Church asked to skip a sidewalk along a highway-transition stretch where the state says no sidewalk should be built — but the $39,920 fee-in-lieu still applies. The board denied the waiver, saying if the city never collects for sidewalks, sidewalks never get built.
