The Radcliff City Council reviewed several ordinances concerning annexations and zoning during their meeting Tuesday.
The council approved on second readings ordinances annexing the property located on the west side of North Dixie Highway between its intersections with W.A. Jenkins Road and Les Dawson Road as well as 5571 and 5511 North Dixie Highway. Ordinances were also approved that rezoned those properties to either High-Density Multi-Family Residential or Planned Use Development.
First readings were held on ordinances approving the annexation of a property located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Ernest R. Kouma Boulevard and Patriot Parkway, as well as ordinances rezoning the property as well as 1276 and 1278 Hill Street and 3491 South Wilson Road to either Multi-Family Residential or Commercial zones.
All of the zoning ordinances were approved by the city’s Planning Commission.
The council approved a proposal from Radcliff Police Chief Jeff Cross to remove the department’s evidence custodian position and replace it with two contract officers hired as detectives that would be in charge of the department’s evidence room. Cross said hiring detectives for the positions would keep the evidence room in check while also making additional personnel available for investigations.
Radcliff Mayor J.J. Duvall thanked the city’s road crews and first responders for their hard work during the recent winter weather. Council Member Toshie Murrell reminded residents with pets that the city has laws on the book concerning leaving pets outside in the cold.
“As far as shelter goes, you have to have four sides, you have to have a floor, you have to have bedding which is straw, not hay, not blankets,” Murrell said. “Please be aware of the temperatures for your outside animals and your pets. This is a penalty type of a violation.”
The Radcliff City Council will next meet for a work session on February 12.
