Heartland mini golf development granted waivers from planning commission

Putt-putt is getting closer to becoming a reality in Elizabethtown. The city’s Planning Commission reviewed development plans for the proposed Heartland Mini Golf course near I-65 on Mulberry last night, with discussion centering on 3 waiver requests by the applicants. The most discussed waiver request was for a reduction in recommended parking spaces, with the planning staff recommending 47 and the applicant requesting a reduction down to 28 spaces. The commission granted approval for all 3 waivers. Plans call for the main putt-putt course, an ice cream setup, as well as a beer garden and observation deck, with all 3 built into cargo containers.
