Scott County Fiscal Court on April 11 approved a resolution expressing support for a proposed right‑in/right‑out access point on McClellan Circle to serve the Georgetown Commons development.

The resolution — numbered 2025‑04 and read into the record by county staff — says the court supports the access point described in the development's preliminary plan but ties final approval to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), the Georgetown‑Scott County Planning Commission and the Georgetown City Council.

The matter drew questions from magistrates about whether the opening would allow left turns. Holden Fleming of planning and zoning said the applicant proposed a left‑turn lane but that “we don't believe that KYTC is in support of that, and so we have not recommended that either.” Cam (county staff) added that the court's action was limited to approving the entry point and that “KYTC will dictate and mandate what is done on that road.”

Magistrates discussed accident history at other nearby access points and the county's past conversations with KYTC about alternate designs such as an R‑cut at Pleasant View. Several members said the state typically controls whether signals or left‑turn provisions are allowed at sites on the bypass.

The court approved the resolution without recorded roll‑call tallies; the record shows a voice vote in favor and no recorded opposition. The resolution specifies that final implementation is contingent on KYTC approval and final development plan approval by the Georgetown‑Scott County Planning Commission and Georgetown City Council, as required by Georgetown ordinance 86‑11 (as amended).

The vote took place after staff read the resolution; the court asked the record to reflect that Magistrate David Livingston joined the meeting before the vote was completed.

Why it matters: the access point would serve a new mixed‑use development and could change traffic patterns on McClellan Circle and nearby commercial intersections. The county's formal support clears a local step, but state review and city council approval remain necessary before construction can proceed.

Additional details: the resolution references the Georgetown Commons preliminary development plan (PDP‑2024‑48) and incorporates an Exhibit A describing the proposed entry. The county's support is expressly conditioned on KYTC review and on final approvals by the planning commission and city council.
