Summary
Franklin County Fiscal Court opened and closed a public hearing on March 1 for Tierney Storage LLC's request to rezone about 85.339 acres at 690 Duncan Road from Agricultural (AG) to Industrial General (IG); staff and applicant representatives presented and the court accepted written comments and multiple in-person commenters (transcript lists names but does not include their statements).
Frankfort — The Franklin County Fiscal Court opened a public hearing March 1 on a rezoning request by Tierney Storage LLC to change approximately 85.339 acres at 690 Duncan Road from Agricultural District (AG) to Industrial General District (IG).
Judge Michael Mueller presided; the hearing was called to order at 10:15 a.m. and staff and witnesses were sworn in before testimony. Robert Hewitt, Director of Planning and Building Codes, presented the staff report. The applicant was represented by attorney John Rompf and by applicant Ron Tierney. Consultants identified in the proceeding included Brad Gregory (civil engineer/land surveyor), Diane Zimmerman (traffic study engineer) and Terri Bradshaw of the Kentucky Capital Development Corporation.
The court limited public comments to five minutes per speaker (motion by Squire Scotty Tracy, seconded by Squire Richard Tanner), a motion that passed 7–0. A list of in-person commenters appears in the transcript and written public comments were accepted if received by the Feb. 27, 2023 4:30 p.m. deadline. The transcript records the names of in-person and written commenters but does not include their spoken remarks in the minutes provided.
After testimony and receipt of written submissions, Squire Scotty Tracy moved to cease public comments and Squire Sherry Sebastian moved to accept the written comments that met the deadline; those motions passed (recorded votes in the minutes). The court then closed the public hearing.
The rezoning request references portions of PVA Map Numbers 087-00-00-031.00 and 087-00-00-031.01. The transcript does not record a final vote on the rezoning; the hearing was held to receive testimony and written input. Any subsequent action on the zoning map amendment would be recorded in later minutes.
Proper-name spellings in the transcript varied for one witness: the staff list identifies Terri Bradshaw (Kentucky Capital Development Corporation) while the written-submission list includes a “Terry Bradshaw.” This report follows the staff listing and uses the spelling Terri Bradshaw. The transcript otherwise lists multiple public commenters by name but provides no verbatim testimony text in the supplied excerpt.
The hearing closed and the overall meeting adjourned later that day at 5:16 p.m.
