This is a development agreement between the Village of Los Lunas and Double M. Properties, Inc. the purpose of this development agreement - when there is a large development that has major impact on a state highway, then the Department of Transportation will require that developer to submit some sort of a traffic analysis. If the impact is significant enough, than that can require offsite improvements that need to be completed in order to accommodate this development. DOT has encouraged us to go into an agreement with the land owner because the developer is intended to be responsible for the cost of these improvements. If the developer does not pay for these improvements, DOT will hold the Village responsible for the costs. This has been reviewed with our legal counsel and Larry Guggino has given it the green light. Mayor Griego asked Council if they had any questions – Councilman Ortiz asked if there was going to be three entrances rather than two. Erin replied, yes.
