Bellemeade to consider heavy-truck ordinance after commission flags road damage
Summary
Commissioners discussed heavy-truck impacts on local streets, asked the city attorney to draft contingency language tied to the Leaf Spring project, and directed follow-up contacts with Louisville Water; no ordinance vote was taken Oct. 13.
Bellemeade commissioners discussed concerns about heavy trucks and localized road damage at their Oct. 13 meeting, and asked City Attorney Stephen Porter to prepare draft language for a potential heavy-truck ordinance or contingency if the Leaf Spring project advances.
Commissioner Sandy Walker reported sections of Woodcleft are deteriorating and said it is hard to find contractors willing to do small asphalt repairs. Commissioners discussed options including reviewing a heavy-truck ordinance and installing speed bumps on Holliswood in response to resident complaints on social media.
Stephen Porter reviewed the Leaf Spring expenses and the commission noted a lack of donations from neighboring cities to offset those costs. Mayor James Martin said he would contact HOA presidents of Lyndon Lakes and Holly Springs to seek possible assistance. The commission did not vote on an ordinance at the Oct. 13 meeting; Porter was asked to draft contingency language for consideration at a later date.
Mayor Martin also asked Commissioner Walker to contact Louisville Water to pursue either an open-records request or a pressure test of the system as part of follow-up on utilities issues discussed in the meeting. The commission set a working meeting for Nov. 3 (Zoom) when draft language or further review could be scheduled.
