The Elizabethtown City Council met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.
The council voted to hold the first reading on an ordinance that would amend the zoning for property located at 2111 Ring Road and 1151 Pear Orchard Road from R-3 to C-3, which would facilitate the construction of a 60,000 square foot VA medical clinic. The Elizabethtown Planning Commission voted 3-2 at their July 8 meeting to recommend that change be denied, but Council Member Mika Tyler made a motion to hold the first reading, citing fact finding presented at the Planning Commission meeting that she said found the zoning change to be in line with the city’s comprehensive plan.
Several people discussed the zoning proposal during the meeting’s public comments period. Elizabethtown resident Brown Gwynn said he and everybody he has spoken with about the proposal is supportive of the establishment of a VA health clinic in Elizabethtown. He said the problem here is rezoning an area that shouldn’t be rezoned.
“There is commercial property all over the city that is already zoned C-3, so we’re taking a 29-acre piece of property and converting it from R-3 which is residential, which if the county decides to fight expansion of our city limits, where are we going to get any more building lots?” Gwynn said. “We’ve got commercial building lots all over the town.”
Bob Casher is a member of the Joint Executive Council of Veterans Organizations of Kentucky. He says the city needs to do what it can to help the project move forward quickly in order to help support an aging area veteran population.
“We need that piece of land and we need to get that clinic off the ground as soon as possible,” Casher said. “Veterans Administration from Washington D.C. has been to the Jeff. Co. meetings. They have been to the VA and Robley Rex. This has been in the works for over two years, and here we are sitting here this evening wanting to debate where it’s going to go.”
The council will vote on the zoning change on its second reading at the next regular council meeting.
In other meeting news, the council approved a resolution amending the comprehensive plan to include the Towne Mall master plan, and a municipal order amending the city’s contract with Kinley-Horn and Associates for water design services concerning the area around the outdoor music venue to include changes in infrastructure plans.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet for a work session on July 28.
