Theexisting land use activity is predominately agriculture with only limited residentialuse.• Natural Features: This planning area is characterized by open fields that aregently rolling to flat with the Valley Creek drainage area and associated floodhazards crossing near the middle of the area. There are no other particularconstraints to development.• Transportation Features/Public Facilities: This planning area is served by severalless notable county roads but the extension of Ring Road will provide animportant roadway to this planning area with the construction of an interchangewith Western Kentucky Parkway.

This area is served by the Central HardinFire Department. The Elizabethtown Wastewater Treatment Plant is located justoutside of this planning area on the south side of the Western Kentucky Parkwayon Gaither Station Road.

As an interimmeasure, decentralized wastewater collection and treatment for this area may beinstalled until conveyance infrastructure is available. The recommendations ofthat plan should be reviewed carefully to determine issues and opportunities.• Recommended Land Use and Development Criteria:- This planning area has been designated as an area for the expansion of theindustrial park located in Elizabethtown. As such, industrial uses arerecommended.- Also recommended for this area are commercial uses that support industrialland use.- Residential uses are discouraged and should only be allowed in limited orextraordinary circumstances.- As part of the development review process for any use locating within thisplanning area, issues such as traffic flow, lighting, signage, and stormwatermanagement should be carefully reviewed.2008 Comprehensive Plan
LAND USE ELEMENT 3-46- Public sanitary sewers service should be extended to this planning area priorto intense development.- Once Ring Road is extended to this planning area and on to the WesternKentucky Parkway, this planning area will serve as a major gateway to thecommunity. As such, a unifying theme for signage, lighting, access standards,landscaping and other site development standards is recommended in orderto improve the quality of development in the area.27.

The reconstruction of theinterchange will improve the traffic flow in this planning area and provide animportant step in the development of the Glendale Industrial Property which isclose by. Wastewater disposal is currently managed with on-site systems andpackage treatment plants. Development of the Glendale industrial property willmore than likely provide public sanitary sewer service to 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.• Recommended Land Use and Development Criteria:- The recommended land use pattern for the Glendale Junction planning area isthe expansion of the interstate related businesses and the creation ofindustrial park type developments.- Residential development within this area is discouraged.- If and when public sanitary sewer service is made available to this area alluses should be required to connect.2008 Comprehensive Plan
