Boone to care for Triple Crown road
Stopping for sweets
By Paul McKibben
Randy Graves of Hebron buys some of the famous Kentucky cream candy made by Fred Wege from his wife, Jeri Wege of Burlington, at the annual oyster supper held at the Hebron Lutheran Church Nov. 14. Also, LaVerne Johnson, a lifelong member of the church from Burlington, waits on Lorraine Pollitt of Burlington, as she purchases items at the booth.

The Boone County Fiscal Court will take over the care of a street in the Triple Crown subdivision. Members voted 4-0 on Nov. 10 for the county to accept St. Leger Circle into its road system. County Engineer Greg Sketch said the street was privately dedicated. The St. Leger homeowners association made the request. He said they had the engineering firm Thelen

Associates Inc. do testing and the county had its inspectors identify areas that need to be fixed. All of the repairs were done. The maintenance responsibilities include street and storm sewers within one foot of the edge of the pavement. An easement will be placed over the center island area that the homeowners association will continue to maintain. Triple Crown is located in southern Boone County between Richwood and Frogtown roads.
Moore answers Boone County trail study critics By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com
Judge-Executive Gary Moore at the Nov. 10 Boone County Fiscal Court meeting responded to criticism about the county’s controversial trails and greenways study that the Boone County Planning Commission withdrew earlier this month. Moore said the planning commission doesn’t have any power over eminent domain and only the Boone County Fiscal Court can use it. “This court had demonstrated
ST A F THE
many years ago our approach to eminent domain, the fact that we do not use it. And would not consider that item lightly,” he said following comments from Walton resident Bernie Kunkel. Moore referred to how the county didn’t take the properties of businesses that face the Boone County Administration Building in downtown Burlington when the county was planning to build the Boone County Justice Center. Instead the building was built nearby on Rogers Lane. Moore also addressed the study’s funding.
The Fiscal Court in June 2007 voted 4-0 to approve its budget that included money for the planning commission. The planning commission’s budget mentions a greenways study. Moore said the county was growing by 11 or 12 people a day. He said “there was a lot of concern about the county being paved over and what might be preserved, what might be green.” But Moore acknowledged the study “did go awry. It did get pulled. It’s not on a shelf and at the end of the day, the plan is dead.”
Petersburg resident Albert Arlinghaus said eminent domain would be a better choice than using the study as a tool when a zone change comes before the Fiscal Court for approval. He said at least in eminent domain, the county is paying for the property. He was referring to a remark Moore had made where he said as future zone changes come before the Fiscal Court, the study would be a tool that would be used at that point. Moore said the comment was about when developers come to the planning commission and the
Fiscal Court with a subdivision plan, many times they want to donate part of that property. He said with the North Pointe subdivision, Arlinghaus Builders wanted to see part of that property that was developmentally sensitive to become part of common areas and become part of a county greenways system. He said the property was donated. Commissioner Cathy Flaig, who is challenging Moore in next year’s Republican primary election, didn’t say anything during the meeting in response to Moore’s comments.
