growth of cities and the amenities they offer. In a spirit of cooperation and collaboration, Mayor
Bray said he wants cities and counties to work together to balance the interests of
everyone. Furthermore, he stated that the cooperation between the City of Paducah and McCracken
County is excellent, and both government agencies currently are working on a joint comprehensive
plan."

community asset."
Discussion of Terrace Hills Preliminary Subdivision Plat
"Mayor Bray and the Board discussed the proposed subdivision called Terrace Hills at 3750 Pecan
Drive and 600 and 601 Deer Lick Place. The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding
the proposed subdivision on February 6 and approved the preliminary subdivision plat. This
Planned Unit Development currently depicts 122 residential lots of duplexes and single-family
homes with sidewalks on approximately 26 acres. The property currently is wooded. The developer
plans to build the subdivision in three phases over a span of several years with a stormwater
detention pond in each phase. These single -story homes with garages would be valued at
approximately $250,000. Neighbors voiced their concerns at the Planning Commission meeting and
at this City Commission meeting. Concerns include the removal of trees, the density of houses, an
increase in traffic, and stormwater runoff. Mayor Bray appreciated the comments and said the City
March 14, 2023
will be working with the developer as he develops the final plat for approval. The City wants to
balance the neighborhood's concerns and the need for growth and housing in Paducah."
