2 THE ADVOCATE MESSENGER Danville Kentucky Tuesday October 11 1988 Liberty council OKs new zoning regulations new map By BRENDA EDWARDS Staff Writer LIBERTY The City Council approved new zoning regulations and a new zoning map Monday following three years of work by the local planning and zoning commission The zoning regulations show little change in the 66 page ordinance with the exception of adding a public zone for hospitals libraries cemeteries parks schools and professional offices and an 4 zone for multifamily housing The zoning commission also shrunk Cl a downtown commer cial zone where buildings are wall to wall The areas already developed like the blocks on the west side of Hustonville Street north side of Campbellsville Street east side of Middleburg Street and the east side of Cour thouse Square will be left alone Any new construction of commer cial property downtown will have to be set back from the street and cannot be built wall to wall In other matters the council agreed to pay Gerald McQuerry $37000 for property on the corner of Campbellsville Street and Cour thouse Square The action was taken after the council went into executive session The property where a service station was located for several years will be used for private public and paid parking The lot was purchased with funds from the utilities department The council also heard a com plaint from Dwain Atwood who runs a business in an alley off Campbellsville Street where park ing is prohibited After several complaints from people who were unable to travel the one way alley where Atwood parks some of the cars on which he works the city placed park signs along the street Atwood complained that he was losing business because of the parking and asked the city why he was not informed the alley had no parking 31 years ago when he opened his business been very kind to you and you have not Mayor John Grider said signs would not be there if there been so many Grider told Atwood that he had been told about the no parking numerous times Grider said the city has sym pathy with Atwood but that it is the place to keep the city streets open and that if there had not been so many complaints the city would not have said anything Atwood said that some of the cars that park along the alley are not from his business and asked that the signs be removed the signs are not removed have to said Atwood Jerry oster attorney for the ci ty said the alley is less than 19 feet wide and the city is unable to make the alley wider because of buildings Atwood said he needs three parking spaces for his business and Grider said the city would check into the matter further and try to solve the parking problem In other business the council: the city tax rate at 20 cents per $100 property valuation which will generate about $91000 for the city to provide life in surance for city employees and a single plan for health insurance The city has insurance with American Chambers Life In surance Co in
