Council approves land annexation, opts not to open Summit Avenue

By SUSAN WHEELDON CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal

BURNSIDE City councilors for the City of Burnside unanimously approved the annexation of 42.45 acres of land into the city during their regularly scheduled meeting Monday night.

The property, owned by Ronal and Jessie Ping, is located on South Ky. 1247 in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Ky. 1247, Ky. 90 and U.S. 27, and would be used for both commercial and residential purposes.

Though Ping approached the city about annexing the land, the city said in the ordinance that the property would contribute to the growth and development of both the City of Burnside and the territory — and in particular, the commercial and tourism-related potential for the former.

In other business:

• Assistant Police Chief Bruce Blevins announced at the meeting that the police department has received a $11,800 grant that would be used for overtime and new equipment.

• The council discussed opening Summit Avenue after Burnside resident Shane Lanham requested the action.

“How much is it going to cost?” asked councilman Conard Bryant.

Mayor Dean Lovins told Bryant that he didn’t know the exact answer to that question, but believed it would be quite expensive.

Councilor Chuck Fourman said that right now there are several streets proposed to be opened, but he didn’t believe that it was a good use to open Summit Avenue right now, noting that in the future the situation could be different.

The council voted unanimously not to open Summit Avenue at this time.

In September, the issue was tabled until councilors could look into the issue further.

• The council approved a proclamation that designated the month of October as “Roadside Pride Month,” encouraging citizens to take personal responsibility for keeping the region’s environment clean.

• The council approved two resolutions (012-2006 and 013-2006) for the water project accepting grant money and authorizing the mayor to sign all related documents.

• Burnside councilors set the city’s trick-or-treat hours for Tuesday, Oct. 31, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The council then discussed considering and approving the comprehensive plan goals and objectives, but because the council did not feel they had enough time to look at it, they set a time for a special-called meeting to be held tonight.

The meeting will be held at Burnside City Hall at 6 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to consider approval of those objectives, have a discussion on additional cost for grinder pump installation and a personnel matter.
