LAND USE ELEMENT 3-39schools in this area. The Regional Wastewater Facilities Plan identifies this areaas part of a rural watershed and does not propose a regional wastewatertreatment solution in the next twenty year planning period. The continued useof on-site treatment/disposal systems is expected. As development occurs,construction of decentralized wastewater collection and treatment systems withlong-term management, operation and maintenance is desired. Therecommendations of that plan should be reviewed carefully to determine issuesand opportunities.• Recommended Land Use and Development Criteria:- The recommended land use patterns for the Colesburg area is low density,rural or estate residential.- New development in this rural area, to the extent possible, is recommendedto employ decentralized wastewater collection- If an on-site wastewater disposal option is selected then lot sizes must beadequate for long term maintenance and repair.- Access to individual residential lots should be limited on collector and localroadways and strictly regulated along arterials in order to preserve traffic flowand safety.- Residential development should occur from the center of the community outin an orderly fashion in order to best use available infrastructure.20. East Hardin Area• Introduction: This rural planning area is east of the Urban Area Planning Groupand stretches from Interstate-65 to Middle Creek Road, along the Rolling ForkRiver and the Larue County line.• Existing Land Use: This planning area is marked by agricultural uses and sparseresidential development. Very limited areas of mixed or nonresidential use occur,primarily along the Bardstown Road portion of the area.• Natural Features: Topography (steep slopes) and flood hazard constraints occurin the area limiting development potential. There are flood hazards associatedwith the Rolling Fork River, Younger Creek, Pearl Hollow, Mud Creek and BrownBranch water features.• Transportation Features/Public Facilities: This planning area is bisected by theBluegrass Parkway but has limited access to it. Access to this planning area islimited as described in the Transportation Features of the East Urban Area. ThePearl Hollow Landfill owned by Hardin County is located on Audubon Trace in thisplanning area.2008 Comprehensive Plan
LAND USE ELEMENT 3-40• Recommended Land Use and Development Criteria:- The recommended land use pattern for the East Hardin Area is low densityrural residential development.- Any expansion of the existing commercial properties along Bardstown Roadshould be limited to the area immediately adjacent to that corridor.- Topographic features in particular areas of steep slopes should be consideredduring the development review process. Steep slope areas and other areaswith natural limitations should be set aside from development and preserved.- As a primary gateway into the community, signs along the corridor should beaesthetically pleasing and promote Hardin County’s unique character.- The Regional Wastewater Facilities Plan identifies this area as part of a ruralwatershed and does not propose a regional wastewater treatment solution inthe next twenty year planning period. The continued use of on-sitetreatment/disposal systems is expected. As development occurs, constructionof decentralized wastewater collection and treatment systems with long-termmanagement, operation and maintenance is desired.21. Natural Resource AreaThis general land use group is its own Planning area. The criteria is provided inthe previous section (Step 3) of the plan. The criteria for development and othernarrative applying to this area can be found in that section.22. South Hardin Area• Introduction: This large Rural Area Planning Group has a northern boundary ofKY 84 and the Western Kentucky Parkway, except in the vicinity of White Millswhere the northern boundary is south of KY 84 and in the vicinity of Sonorawhere the northern boundary extends to Nolin Road and Eagle Mills Road. TheSouth Hardin area is adjacent to three other counties – Larue, Hart and Graysonand surrounds the two cities Sonora and Upton. This area includes the ruralcommunities of Flint Hill and Spurrier.• Existing Land Use: Land use in this rural planning area is characterized by typicalagricultural activities with an average parcel size of greater than thirty acres.Only sparse subdivision growth has occurred with the most active residentialdevelopment occurring in areas annexed by the City of Sonora. Nonresidentialland uses includes many rural churches, general stores and small serviceoriented businesses.• Natural Features: In the South Hardin area the general topography is gentlyrolling. A large portion of this planning area is marked by an absence of surfacestreams in part due to the presence of sinkholes known as karst topography.Within the planning area, there are flood hazard areas associated with the Nolin2008 Comprehensive Plan
