Randy Matlow, Director of Bullitt County Libraries, and Greg White, engineer for the library addressed the Council about the plans for the Library. They did not want to put employee parking behind the building so they could leave it open for future expansion. The Council agreed to allow no parking in the back of the library building unless needed in the future. The Council also restated its intention of allowing the library to use the city lot for parking spaces and wanted this agreement to be put in writing. The City Attorney will work with the library on a written deed of easement.

Sam Beichler brought to the Council for discussion a proposed change in the R-2 zoning set backs. He proposes 10' side set backs instead of the current 15' set back. This would allow a more uniform building line and reduce the number of variances that are applied for. Sam Beichler and Joe Wantland, City Attorney, will work together to start the process.
