Impact analysis
About $2 million in impact fees owed to the town for police and fire remains unpaid, and patrol time is heavily consumed at one site.
Tuscan Village businesses and visitors get a safer environment; other neighborhoods benefit if patrol time is freed up.
Residents elsewhere in town see reduced patrol presence, and taxpayers effectively subsidize private-road enforcement.
