Discussion: Property owner Mr. Fleener said originally he had planned to build a single family 3 bedroom, one bath home but now wants to build a duplex. He presented the plans he had on a duplex to council members.  He would need to file for a variance for a 30 foot setback. Several Council members stated their concerns about drainage.  They feel development of this lot will cause water problems for the neighbors.  Mr. Fleener said he has plans to take care of the water issue and that he feels the drainage in the area will take care of any run off.  Mr. Kevin Smith spoke against the rezoning.  He stated the drainage is not the only issue.  He feels that any new construction there would be a detriment to the neighborhood.  Mr. Wayne Downs also spoke in opposition.  He stated all the other houses on Bryant have a 50 foot setback and does not want a duplex when all other properties are single family dwellings.

Discussion:  Attorney Amanda Spalding, (representing Troy’s Wrecker Service) advised the council that Troy’s Wrecker service is currently on our list but if this ordinance passes he would be off the list because he does not have an office or location within the City limits of Shepherdsville.  She also cited several problems she had with the wording of the ordinance.  She also advised that she feels Ms. Enlow has a personal interest in A&M towing who is also on the list.  Ms. Enlow denied the accusation.  Ms. Enlow said that A&M borrowed money and purchased the business and that she no longer has personal interest in the business.  Several council members asked questions about the meaning of primary business location.  Mr. Wilson stated they had to have a physical business located in the corporate limits of Shepherdsville.  Ms. Enlow also stated that the 4 businesses that are currently on the list are averaging 4 runs per month.  Chief Puckett stated that if someone is in an accident and does not want the wrecker service next in rotation they do not have to use them and they do not have to use someone on the list.
