Stacey Cline made motion to accept. Trina Summers 2^nd. Motion carried 6-0. (This Ordinance will be numbered 005-664.)

City Attorney Wantland had second reading and public hearing on Ordinance 005-(number to be assigned) concerning request for rezoning from Arville Dale Bridwell and Norma Jean Bridwell to rezone 6.66 acres, more or less, located at 3088 Highway 44 East from Agricultural to B-2 Central Business. City Attorney Wantland stated this request was denied by the Planning Commission because it is not in agreement with the adopted comprehensive plan. Mayor Sohm stated he disagrees with this because there is commercial property on both sides of the road leading to this property. City Attorney Wantland stated his concern was leaving a portion of the property zoned agriculture while being surrounded by commercial. He feels it is not within the recommended comprehensive plan at this time. Attorney for the property owners, Mark Edison, stated that Mr. Givhan, a member of the Planning Commission decided he would like to see no more commercial zoning from Shepherdsville to Mt. Washington. Mayor Sohm asked Mr. Cahoe if he would agree to a setback to allow for the widening of Highway 44. Mr. Cahoe stated he would agree to a 50 foot setback on the State Highway for any commercial development. City Attorney Wantland stated if the Council wants this property to be rezoned they would have to reject the finding of the Planning Commission due to the existing zoning classification given to this property is inappropriate and the requested zoning classification is more appropriate because the following major economic, physical, and/or social changes have occurred within the area of the requested zoning change which were not anticipated in the adopted comprehensive plan which have substantially altered the basic character of the area around this requested zoning change. The requested zoning change is in agreement with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Faith Portman made motion to reject the finding of the Planning Commission and rezone the property to B-2 Central Business. Trina Summers 2^nd. Motion carries 6-0. (This Ordinance will be numbered 005-665.)
