The Hardin County Fiscal Court met for their first meeting of the month Monday.
Hardin County Planning and Development Director Adam King reported on his office’s activities through the end of October. King said 82 plats have been recorded to that point this year, down from 105 to that point last year, but the number of lots is at 170, up from 126 last year.
King said the county will be hosting an open house on Monday, November 24 at the Glendale Christian Church to present the draft of the Glendale Small Area Plan.
“It is an open house-style meeting,” King said. “It’ll go from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. There’ll be about 15 different stations presenting information, getting feedback from the public, but again, this is kind of looking at Glendale all the way from Historic Downtown Glendale out to the interchange.”
Hardin County Public Works Director Stephanie Givens said the county saw a strong turnout at its free Landfill Service Day on September 9, but not quite as strong as what has previously been seen.
“We had 509 total vehicles come through, 279.95 tons of trash that came through,” Givens said “It was 70 degrees for that day, so it seems like we usually get a few more cars when the weather is rainy or colder, so it looks like we were down a little bit from 2024 to 2025.”
Givens said 31 recycling trailer runs were made in September and 33 in October, and the last free document shredding event will be held December 1.
The Hardin County Fiscal Court will next meet November 25.
Also meeting Monday was the Radcliff City Council for a called meeting and work session. After no official action was taken during a closed session in the called meeting, the council discussed a proposed zoning change for 238 Cedar Oak Drive in Vine Grove from Commercial to Residential-Four. City Attorney Mike Pike said this is the last tract Silver Gate Properties is asking to be rezoned for their planned development, but unlike the previous tract the property does not immediately touch Fort Knox, so he recommended the council follow the Radcliff Planning Commission’s recommendation.
“All of your arguments and everything that would be said, I submit to you is going to be in this transcript, so take a look at it if you’re so inclined, and the Planning Commission was unanimously in favor of recommending, and they heard and they asked questions, so it wasn’t a rubber stamp,” Pike said. “They asked good questions.”
The zoning amendment will have its first reading at the council’s next meeting on November 18.
