The Kentucky Transpark in northern Warren County may soon have a neighbor with the ability to complement the industrial park’s many manufacturing plants.

Let’s Chat LLC, a corporation formed in 2007, received unanimous approval Thursday from the City-County Planning Commission of Warren County to rezone 10.23 acres at 860 Glasgow Road (U.S. 68) from agriculture to light industrial.

That action awaits final approval from Warren County Fiscal Court, but Let’s Chat representative Jeff Harned already has some ideas in mind for the property.

Harned and the other owners sought the rezoning after the new Exit 30 interchange with Interstate 65 improved access to the transpark, with an eye toward providing services needed by the manufacturers in the park’s nearly 400 acres.

“The prospects who have looked at the property say it needs rezoning and utilities,” Harned said. “We’re trying to make it more marketable.”

Harned believes the site can be home to services that are needed next door to an industrial park that now has more than a dozen tenants and about 3,000 workers.

“It’s a fantastic property for logistics,” he said. “Trucking doesn’t fit the goals of the transpark itself, but it would be a good fit for this property. It has direct access to Glasgow Road and easy access to the interstate.”

The development plan submitted with the rezoning application calls for the property to be subdivided into three lots to be used for industrial purposes. Harned said an existing house on the property could be repurposed as an office or other use.

The planning commissioners also approved three residential rezoning applications Thursday.

James Devin Butler and Susann Butler received unanimous approval to rezone from agriculture to residential estate a 5.787-acre tract at the western corner of Red Pond Road and Bristow Road.

The development plan calls for the property to be developed with a maximum of three single-family residences of at least 1,400 square feet. The rezoning will go to fiscal court for final approval.

Luke Williams and Sawyer Williams were approved for rezoning 4.14 acres on Shaker Mill Road from single-family residential to residential estate. Their plan calls for developing the property into a maximum of three single-family residences of at least 1,800 square feet each. The proposed lots will be served by septic systems. The rezoning needs final approval from fiscal court.

Amel Atic was approved for rezoning from agriculture to rural residential 5.01 acres at 1350 Matlock Road. The development plans calls for two residences of at least 2,200 square feet each.

Rezoning of the property, which is across Matlock Road from a 100-lot subdivision proposed to be built by George Vogler and Tim Poston, will need final approval from fiscal court.
