LAND USE ELEMENT 3-35- Development should be assessed for the costs associated with its locationalong this highly traveled corridor, for instance costs associated with turnlanes and additional traffic signals.16. Shepherdsville Road Corridor• Introduction: The Shepherdsville Road Corridor is part of the Urban AreaPlanning Group. It consists of the first tier or properties fronting onShepherdsville Road (KY 251) between Elizabethtown at the intersection of RingRoad and Battle Training Road (KY 434).• Existing Land Use: This planning area is a residential corridor containing manylarge tracts. There is one existing commercial activity in the area, that being aconvenient store located at the intersection with Battle Training Road (KY 434).• Natural Features: This area is marked by rolling topography with areas of slopingterrain and severe drainage features that are limitations for development. Thereare many quality wooded areas within this corridor.• Transportation Features/Public Facilities: Shepherdsville Road itself is the primarytransportation feature in the area. It is a north south corridor without roadintersections allowing for east west mobility. There is only one significantintersection with Wooldridge Ferry Road a county maintained road designated acollector. Shepherdsville Road within Elizabethtown will be upgraded to fourlanes with future road improvements proposed for the road from Elizabethtownto Joe Prather Highway (KY 313). The area is provided fire protection from theHardin Central Fire Department. There is no school facility in or near thisplanning area. The Regional Wastewater Facilities Plan proposes to collectwastewater to a series of regional pumping stations for transport to the FortKnox (and perhaps Radcliff) Wastewater Treatment Plant. This infrastructure willbe constructed over the next twenty years with some of the service areasreceiving sewers in the first ten years. As an interim measure, decentralizedwastewater collection and treatment for this area may be installed untilconveyance infrastructure is available. The recommendations of that plan shouldbe reviewed carefully to determine issues and opportunities.• Recommended Land Use and Development Criteria:- The recommended land use pattern for the Shepherdsville Road Corridor isprimarily residential.- Commercial development should be allowed only at strategic locations basedon the road capacity and other site specific standards with conveniencecommercial use located at major crossroads or intersections.- Access points to the roadway should be limited through the developmentreview process and other appropriate controls.2008 Comprehensive Plan
LAND USE ELEMENT 3-36- As a primary roadway in the community, signs along the corridor should beaesthetically pleasing and promote Hardin County’s unique character.- As developed, there should be a unified theme for landscaping and buildingdesign provided.- Development should be carefully reviewed so as not to create traffic capacityproblems along this corridor.17. South Dixie Corridor• Introduction: The South Dixie Corridor is a historic transportation corridorstarting at the southern boundary of the City of Elizabethtown and extendingsouth to the Glendale Junction planning area at the Interstate-65 Interchange.The corridor also extends from Interstate-65 to the west to Sportsman LakeRoad to the east.• Existing Land Use: The land use pattern in the South Dixie Corridor area ispredominantly residential. However, along Dixie Highway it is a mix of smallscale commercial properties remaining from the pre-interstate era. SportsmanLake Road, previously Dixie Highway, is now the location of residential uses.Subdivisions include Royal Acres, Wildwood and Dutch Girl.• Natural Features: This area consists of mostly wooded areas with few small openfields which are gently rolling. The South Dixie Corridor area also has a floodhazard area associated with the blue line stream named Rose Run that limitsdevelopment potential. Additionally there are flood hazards associated with theeast Rhudes Creek and Jackson Branch water features.• Transportation Features/Public Facilities: Dixie Highway (US 31W) is a linearroadway that often is used as a detour route for Interstate-65 when blocked byan accident or by construction activities. East Rhudes Creek Road and WestRhudes Creek Road are important east west routes which provide the onlyaccess across Interstate-65 between Elizabethtown and the interchange locatedat KY 222. The majority of the planning area is provided fire protection by theGlendale Fire Department with the northern portion served by Central Hardin FireDepartment. The Hardin County Fair Grounds is located in this area betweenInterstate-65 and Dixie Highway. The area has numerous small rural churches.There are no public school facilities located in this area. The RegionalWastewater Facilities Plan proposes to collect wastewater at a Regional pumpingstation for transport to the Elizabethtown Wastewater Treatment Plant. Thisinfrastructure is anticipated to be installed to serve this planning area within thenext ten years. As an interim measure, decentralized wastewater collection andtreatment for this area may be installed until conveyance infrastructure isavailable. The recommendations of that plan should be reviewed carefully todetermine issues and opportunities.2008 Comprehensive Plan
