LAND USE ELEMENT 3-171. East Urban Area• Introduction: This planning area is located within the Urban Area Planning Groupfrom Step 3 above. Bordered to the west and north by the City of Elizabethtownand Interstate-65, respectively; the East Urban Area extends east beyond UpperColesburg Road and is bordered by the Bluegrass Parkway to the south. Mostof the residential developments which exist today were developed in the mid1950’s and 1970’s, which include Lincoln Meadows, Mockingbird Hills andHillsdale Subdivisions. Bentcreek, Den Ang, Magnolia Forrest, Huntington Ridgeand Santa Fe Subdivisions are the newer residential developments since 1995.• Existing Land Use: The majority of this Planning Area is considered developed. A281 acre site located off Upper Colesburg Road, adjacent to Interstate-65, is thesite of Santa Fe Subdivision, an approved 156 lot development currently underconstruction.• Natural Features: This area has a gently rolling terrain with few if anyenvironmental constraints to development. There are flood hazards associatedwith the drainage area of Valley Creek and the Valley Creek Reservoir No. 3.• Transportation Features/Public Facilities: This area, and the north half of the EastHardin Area, has a relatively low level of accessibility. To the west, two bridgesare located over Interstate-65, at Bardstown and Tunnel Hill Roads – providingaccess to Elizabethtown. An underpass exists to the north, under Interstate-65leading into the community of Colesburg. To the south, two means of accessexist to cross the Bluegrass Parkway - the bridge on Younger’s Creek Road (KY583) and an underpass along Miller Road. Nelson County, to the east, isaccessed by a bridge on Bardstown Road and a bridge on the Bluegrass Parkway– crossing over the Rolling Fork River. In all, six accesses exist for the morethan 15,000 acres and 1,825 parcels – which includes the area east ofElizabethtown, between Interstate-65 and north of the Bluegrass Parkway(Planning Areas 1, 10, and the northern part of 20). Bardstown Road (US 62) isthe one major highway servicing this Planning Area. A total of 70 countymaintained subdivision streets exist within this Urban Area, which providesaccess to nearly 1,000 residential lots – many of which are located in one of themore than 27 subdivisions. These subdivisions and the remaining lots are servedby the Central Hardin Fire District and the Lincoln Trail Elementary School. TheRegional Wastewater Facilities Plan proposes series of regional pump stations totransport wastewater to the Elizabethtown system for treatment. Thisinfrastructure will be constructed over the next twenty years of the plan as theneed arises. As an interim measure, decentralized wastewater collection andtreatment for this area may be installed until conveyance infrastructure isavailable. Construction of regional infrastructure may be driven by developmentpressures.2008 Comprehensive Plan
LAND USE ELEMENT 3-18• Recommended Land Use and Development Criteria:- The recommended land use pattern for the East Urban Area is predominatelyurban residential.- In order to address concerns community wide relating to urban sprawl andfarmland/open space preservation, a decrease in residential lots sizes isrecommended.- Redevelopment of existing lots or infill development should be primarilyresidential use of a similar type and density as that in the surrounding areaexcept where higher densities can be reasonably accommodated.- Due to the relative lack of accessibility within this area and connections toother areas, those connections currently existing should be preserved andenhanced through access limitations (preserving traffic flow) and therequirement, where possible, of roadway interconnectivity betweendevelopments.- If and when pubic sanitary sewer service is provided to this area, higherresidential densities should not only be encouraged, but also required.2. North Glendale Urban Area• Introduction: This planning area, located in the Urban Area Planning Group, islocated south of Elizabethtown, positioned between the CSX railroad andInterstate-65 and extending to the Glendale Industrial Property, on the southside of Glendale-Hodgenville Road (KY 222). This area reflects a new expansionof the Urban Growth Sector reflected in the prior comprehensive plan. Theexpansion is based on the development trends of the past 10 years andanticipated growth associated with the Glendale Industrial Property.• Existing Land Use: Given the strategic location of this area an assumption mightbe that the land use pattern is mixed or weighed toward nonresidential use. Infact, only four properties are zoned for non-residential in this planning area. Onthe other hand, however, abundant residential growth has occurred since 1995,totaling more than 500 single family lots. The new residential subdivisions, withstreet construction in this area, include Monterey Subdivision (75 lots), FourSeasons, Section 4 (54 lots), Brentwood (PD-1 Project with 85 lots), Serene Oaks(85 lots), Settlers Crest (45 lots), Beckley Woods (PD-1 Project with 88 lots),Oxmoor Village (28 lots), Andover Pointe Estates (30 lots) and Whistling Oaks(14 lots).• Natural Features: This area has a gently rolling terrain with few if anyenvironmental constraints to development. There are flood hazards associatedwith the East Rhudes Creek and Rose Run drainage areas.• Transportation Features/Public Facilities: The primary North/South andEast/West arterials in this planning area are New Glendale Road (KY 1136) andGlendale-Hodgenville Road (KY 222). East Rhudes Creek Road provides access2008 Comprehensive Plan
