Radcliff council talks zoning change, trash pick up during work session

The Radcliff City Council met for a called meeting in order to go into closed session, and then met for a work session Monday afternoon.

The council reviewed vehicles and equipment that the council will vote to declare surplus at their next meeting. Radcliff Mayor JJ Duvall said most of the items are retired police vehicles.

Radcliff Planning Director Murray Wanner discussed a proposed zoning change for 3491 South Wilson Road.

“The existing land use classification of the property is a farm and the surrounding properties consist of single-family residential and vacant property,” Wanner said. “The Radcliff Planning Commission has recommended approval of the zone map amendment from a R-3 zone to a R-4 zone.”

The meeting was the first for newly-elected Council Member Maria Bell, who thanked the public for their trust in her to help lead the city.

“I know a little of what I am going to face and I don’t know a lot, but I have plenty of people here to help me, and I thank you again and I hope it’s not all Greek to me,” Bell said.

Members of the council discussed the delay in garbage pick-up due to winter weather in the area. Green River Waste has stated they will be picking up additional garbage bags placed next to cans in order to make up for the days lost last week. Duvall said the Green River crews have been dealing with the same problems anybody else has in the weather.

“They don’t want to make multiple trips, so trust me, if they could have picked your garbage up and done it last week, they would have done it last week,” Duvall said. “It’s just the fact that the safety and the weather, it’s just the same reason why kids didn’t go to school.”
