Pope Lick at KY 155 Signalization

KYTC has been able to get a schedule set up with our Contractor to begin construction of the proposed signal at KY 155 / Pope Lick. The survey crew was on site last week to mark out all 8 poles (4 signal - 2 poles in 2 location for advanced warning flashers), so drivers may start seeing these and start asking questions.

Drilling is planned to begin after Thanksgiving and it will take 6-8 weeks to construct and activate the device. The longest lead time is electrical inspections which cannot be scheduled until the device is constructed and then the fire marshal inspection and LG&E activation can take 2-3 weeks.

The signal should be up and running by Early February (Valentine's Gift) although inclement weather can delay the project end date. Prior to the activation, we will post Message Boards announcing the turn on date.

Neighborhood Meeting Announcement from Bardenwerper Talbott (6422 & 6808 Billtown Road)

Neighborhood meeting for a proposed Revised Detailed District Development Plan (RDDDP) for Tract 4 to allow a 240-unit apartment community on approximately 13.9 acres on property located at 6422 & 6808 Billtown Road

Dear Neighboring Property Owner:

We are writing you regarding some updates to the general detailed district development plan for this property. You
were originally invited to a Neighborhood Meeting on this property held on September 10, 2024. It was subsequently
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at an April 24, 2025 Hearing.

At the time, it was a “general plan” and we showed 10 apartment buildings and clubhouse, with 240 units. We are now
prepared to show our revised “detailed plan” for the apartment community. The site has not significantly changed from
what was originally presented. The site still has 10 apartment buildings, with a clubhouse and 240 units. The old plan,
and the revised plan (with a rather crude color) are both set out below for ease of comparison. Even though the plan
itself is not materially changing, because of a relatively new regulation change, we are required to have a new
“neighborhood meeting”. (Also note that the more detailed plans of each are attached to this letter, but the color pictures
below are intended to demonstrate the similarity between both.
General Plan Shown at 4/24/25 Proposed Revised Detailed Plan
PC Hearing

** Note: Tract 3 (which is the triangular lot on the top right of both pictures is not part of this revised plan
application.

As before, access will be from Billtown Road, Veterans Drive and Billtown Frontage Road NW.

The proposed changes have already been filed, but a summary of the neighborhood meeting will be submitted to the
Office of Planning for review afterwards. Also, public meeting and/or hearing will take place once the application is
complete. You are encouraged to participate in the meeting and hearing, and you may also send comments on the
proposed application. Comments will be made available for consideration at the public meeting.

The proposed changes to the approved plan are as follows:
Approved Plan: RDDDP:
10 bldgs with 150,400 sf open space 10 bldgs with 65,194 sf open space 240 Units 240 Units
Total bldg. sf – 363,300 sf Total bldg sf – 396,053 sf (9.02% increase)
Revised building layout design
Please note that the change in open space is primarily due to a section of land that has been removed from this
application.

Our neighborhood meeting will be held on Monday, December 22, 2025, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at Evangel World
Prayer Center located at 6900 Billtown Road, Louisville, KY 40299. (Enter through the far set of doors on the right under the carport facing Billtown Road.). Because of the less than ideal timing of this meeting, if you cannot attend,
please do not hesitate to contact me directly for any questions.
Enclosed for your review are the following:

1. The previously approved development plan and the proposed RDDDP
2. LOJIC site location zoning map sheet showing the location of the site
3. Contact information sheet, and how to obtain case info online from Office of Planning online customer
service portal
4. Office of Planning “After the Neighborhood Meeting” sheet
If you are unable to attend the meeting, or have any questions or comments, please feel free to email or call me at the
number listed above.
We look forward to our opportunity to visit with you.
