Leadership Rockcastle Sponsors Information Session on Smart Land Use
As an initiative of the
Leadership Rockcastle Alumni, a presentation intended for education purposes
was made by Kriss Lowry of Kriss Lowry and Associates. The downloadable
audio is a complete recording of the information she presented during the
two-hour meeting. The files are downloadable mp3 files intended for you to
hear the entire presentation and better understand the termonoligies
associated with building codes, planning, zoning, subdivision regulations,
comprehensive master plans and other options available for Kentucky
communities in helping to protect the land in their cities and counties and
create a system for long-term infrastructure development and community
growth management. Leadership Rockcastle Alumni sponsored this session
entirely as a educational session to help magistrates, city council members,
mayors and other community leaders regarding the issue of land use and
development.
After the presentation was completed, a survey was conducted of the people
who attended the presentation the following results were tallied from the
participants:
In total, 49 people were registered in attendance, with 36 completed surveys
being submitted. This would mean approximately 73% of people in attendance
left us some response to the event.
Of those surveys received, 31 people (or an overwhelming 86% of those
polled) stated that they were in favor of Planning & Zoning within
Rockcastle County. Additionally, 3 people (8%) were undecided on the issue
while only 2 people (6%) of people surveyed were against this measure.
Of those surveyed; 28 people (78%) were in favor of county-wide Planning &
Zoning standards, while 3 people (8%) preferred P & Z only within the city
limits and 1 person (3%) preferred joint planning and zoning among multiple
cities. Of course, those that answered "no" to planning and zoning
implementation did not list a regional preference.
The individuals surveyed represented a very good "cross-section" of our
community with 8 people (22%) from the Brodhead area, 11 people (31%) from
the city of Mt. Vernon and 13 people (36%) from the general county area.
