(1)A public road district may be established in accordance with the procedures of KRS

65.810 to improve any public road (which is neither a county road nor a state road)

in the following areas:

(a)Within cities containing a population equal to or greater than three thousand

(3,000) but less than twenty thousand (20,000);

(b)Within cities containing a population of less than one thousand (1,000) that

are located within counties that contain a consolidated local government or a

city with a population equal to or greater than twenty thousand (20,000); or

(c)Within an area that abuts a public road, which is neither a county road nor a

state road, that is in an unincorporated area in a county that contains a city

with a population equal to or greater than three thousand (3,000).

(2)In addition to the information required to be submitted to the fiscal court pursuant

to KRS 65.810, the sponsors shall prepare or have prepared for them a map of that

section of such public road which they desire to have improved. Such map shall

show the boundary lines and terminal points of the road desired to be improved and

shall set forth on such map the names of the owners of all property and the number

of linear feet owned by them abutting upon such road, the location and size of

drainage ditches and sidewalks. The sponsors of said road district shall also have

estimated for them by an engineer, who must be a private engineer licensed by the

Commonwealth of Kentucky, pursuant to KRS Chapter 322, the approximate cost

of constructing the improvements desired and reasonable maintenance for the

duration of the road district, together with a statement of the approximate cost

which shall be borne by each owner of property abutting on the road, determined by

the number of linear feet of property owned by each abutting property holder.

(3)For the purposes of this section, the population of a city shall be determined by

using data from the most recent federal decennial census.
