Section of the Barren County Subdivision Regulations states that land that is subdivided into large Tracts of at least ten (10) contiguous acres shall be exempt from the requirements of this Article until it is re-subdivided according to the requirements. Once land is subdivided into any series of Lots totaling four (4) or more from the parent Tract no portion of the property subdivided may be re-subdivided into Tracts of less than ten (10) contiguous acres in size until adequate water supply service and fire hydrant improvements have been constructed. The proposed plat meets all the aforementioned regulations and is noted for future development requirements. 3. The proposed development is being divided along existing road frontage and each Tract exceeds the minimum lot size and road frontage requirements. 4. A small low lying area in the southern portion of Tract # 2 is indicated to be in a FEMA Flood Hazard Area, see attached map. 5. No construction is to occur within the thirty (30 ) foot electric line easement shown on the plat. Staff Recommendation: It is the Staff s recommendation of approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat. A motion was made by Lewis Bauer and seconded by Rondal Brooks to approve the proposed plat for Harry Edward Landers Applicant/Owners, 7 tracts and total acres because the proposed Subdivision does meet the minimum standards set forth in the Barren County Subdivision Regulations and according to Staff findings and recommendations.

Attachment B and C show a Vicinity Map and Photos of the surrounding area. 3. Attachment D is the proposed plat. The proposed plat shows Tract 9 (located in Metcalfe County) having access to Big Meadow Road in Barren County. The access length from the right-of-way of Big Meadow Road to the Barren/Metcalfe line is approximately 1,015' (feet). Tract 9 will also have appropriate road frontage south along Big Meadow Road, however, the gravel drive shown in Attachment C of the Property Photos Map is the only means of ingress and egress to the proposed tract located in Metcalfe County. 4. Tracts 3, 7 and 9 shown on Attachment D of the proposed plat are new parcels of land, however all other tracts shown are existing tracts by Plat Books 17, 18 and Pages 703, 449, respectfully. A motion was made by Brad Bailey and seconded by Janis Turner to approve the Variance Application for Travis Byrd, applicant/owner, because this variance request arises from special circumstances since the property being accessed lies in an adjacent county. Motion unanimously carried B Agricultural Application for Division of Real Estate Mills Shortridge Farms, Applicant/Owner Church Road 1 Tract /- Total Acres Plat prepared by Pride Land Surveying, Inc. The following Staff Findings and Recommendations were presented. Staff Findings: 1. As indicated on the Agricultural Application (Attachment A), the proposed tract is being divided for agricultural use, as defined in KRS (2), and does not comply with the Subdivision Regulations of Barren County. 2. Attachment B shows the general vicinity of the proposed Agricultural Exemption. It is located along an existing roadway Mills Road, a privately maintained roadway, which does connect to Church Road, a County maintained roadway which also leads to the State maintained Austin Tracy Road (HWY 87). 3. The proposed division is being divided along a private road recorded in Deed Book 213 and 234, Page 285 and 242 recorded on October 6, 1984 and February 19, 1996 (See Property Photos, Attachment C), and has access to Austin Tracy Road (HWY 87). The proposed division consists of acres currently owned by Faye (Mills) Page ET.AL.

6 Page Six 4. Attachment D is the proposed plat prepared by Pride Land Surveying, Inc. 5. KRS 100 exempts any division of a parcel of land into a tract of at least five (5) contiguous acres in size for the purpose of agricultural use, as defined in KRS (2), and not involving a new street or vehicular way, as defined in KRS (20) and (22), from the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. 6. Future land use of the property is limited to agricultural use only and any further subdivision or development will be restricted until the proposed division complies with the applicable rules and regulations of the Joint City-County Planning Commission. 7. The remaining property must be added to the adjoining tract located to the north of the subject property and thus having adequate road frontage as required by Section of the Barren County Subdivision Regulations and the proposed tract for Agricultural Exemption cannot be recorded until said remaining property is conveyed to the adjoining property. A motion was made by Bobby White and seconded by Rondal Brooks to approve the application for Agriculture Division of Real Estate because the evidence in the Application supports division for Agriculture use only and it is not intended for residential development.
