Boone County
Qualified Manufactured Housing. The state legislature has passed a law (HB160) stating a qualified manufactured home can be built on any lot in any subdivision for single family homes.  Specifications do require a foundation. To be exempt, HOAs must specify via the new term “Qualified Manufactured Housing ” cannot be built in the subdivision.  The terms “trailers or mobile homes” are not allowed and don’t limit. The Tech committee is to draft amendments to manage this law change across the county. Public Hearing: Jan 7, 7:30 p.m.

Florence – 6808 Burlington Pike (former Frisch’s): change Development Plan to allow demolition of the existing restaurant to build a convenience store with seven gasoline pumps. Public Hearing: Jan 7, 7:30 p.m.

Boone County – Approximately 781 Weaver Rd.: change 4.2 acres to Planned Unit Dev, Suburban Residental2 to allow 33 detached single-family homes, 1300-1600 sq ft, two and three bedrooms, $265K-$299K, targeted to empty nesters. Sidewalks on both sides of the street raised question of emergency vehicle and school bus access. Resident from neighboring subdivision challenged if additional sewer connection and flow were feasible. Tech Committee: Deferred to Jan 21, 5 p.m. Final Action: Feb 4, 7 p.m.

Boone County – 2581 Longbranch Rd.: change 78 acres from Agriculture to Planned Unit Dev, Suburban Residential1 for 882 dwelling units; i.e., 113 townhomes, 110 patio homes, 259 Condos, 400 apartments. Access is through Bally Shannon to Hathaway.  Boone County Schools indicated it would be a hardship given local capacity is maxed out. Bally Shannon residents questioned density of construction traffic given Bally Shannon is still being constructed.  Sidewalks planned only one side but would need to be both sides. Developers used low density in Bally Shannon to make their density appear lower.  Must await KYTC study results. Tech Committee: Details unavailable but evidently approved. Final Action: Feb 4 7 p.m.
