ORDINANCES — ADOPTION
REZONING OF 4231 PECAN DRIVE FROM R-1 TO R-4
Mayor Harless asked that the City Clerk defer the above rezoning item on the agenda to May 9,
2017. She did allow for public comments regarding the 4231 Pecan Drive rezoning.
Ron Ward — not a resident of the neighborhood but suggested the developer consider buying
property elsewhere to construct a 100 bed skilled nursing facility
Peter Havel — believes the skilled nursing development will create more flooding issues for the
neighborhood.
Chris Burnett — one of the property owners, does not want the development of the property to
cause the neighborhood flooding issue to be worse but does feel with the regulations that are
required for the project that flooding will not increase. If this deal falls through he does plan on
developing the property in some way. Hopefully it will be something that will be an asset to the
area.
Scott Darnell — President and CEO of Paducah Economic Development, knows Paducah is
becoming a very vibrant healthcare sector for the surrounding area. This proposal is for low
impact, low traffic, single use development and is much needed for infill development in the city.
It will be helpful with employment and will be a great economic development opportunity.
Ron Cowherd — longtime resident of the Pecan Drive neighborhood, would like for the property
to remain at R-1, is concerned if the property is changed to R-4 then that would just be the
beginning for commercial development for property going out to Strawberry Hill. He would like
to see the property developed as residential to keep the neighborhood concise.
Chris Jones — is a resident of the neighboring area, is concerned with more flooding issues if
project is approved, he has experienced four 100 year floods over the five years has lived in the
neighborhood, is also concerned that changing the area to R-4 would be the beginning of making
that area a commercial corridor and thinks it would not be conducive to the neighborhood
Ronnie Dexter — commercial real estate representative for the buyer, addressed some of the
concerns voiced by the neighborhood residents, he also reminded the Board that the developer
has gone through all of the proper procedures for a zone change and the Planning Commission
did approve the change. The zone change is in compliance with the City's comprehensive plan.
In his opinion, he thinks the City has an obligation to approve the zone change.
Jason Goins — engineer for Sitework, engineering firm representing Life Care Centers of
America (buyer), addressed concerns of flooding, traffic and noise. He said the procedures and
guidelines for development of the property whether the property remains R-1 or changes to R-4
remains the same and there can't be any increase in stormwater leaving the property.
