Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2014, 10:50 a.m. — Nelson Fiscal Court approved first reading of three zoning requests Tuesday during its second regular meeting this month.
The magistrates approved a request from Alvin King to rezone 2.496 acres on KY 245 from A-1 agriculutre to R-1A residential. The court also approved a request from Francis and Colleen Yates to rezone 1.358 acres on New Haven Road from A-1 to R-1A, and a request from Charles E. Piles Jr., Bonne Piles and Tony Hagan to rezone 26.956 acres in the Poplar Flat area from A-1 agriculture to R-1A residential.
All three zoning requests had earlier received the approval of the Joint City-County Planning Commission.
LANDFILL UPDATE. Landfill Manager Brad Spalding updated the court on the progress of the construction of the new shop building at the Nelson County Landfill, and of the breakdown of one of a final drive in a landfill high-lift. The landfill’s operation won’t be impacted during the time needed to repair the high-lift, Spalding said.
