The Lexington Subdivision Committee voted on a slate of development plans and related items, approving several with conditions and postponing others to allow applicants to resolve technical items such as stormwater compliance, consolidation plats, and tree mitigation.

Votes at a glance (committee actions and outcomes):
- PLN MJDP 24‑73 Liberty Road Service Center: Committee reapproved the plan as recommended by staff, with standard sign‑off conditions; engineering‑level stormwater resolution remains outstanding and must follow the stormwater manual’s relief/appeal process before construction. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLN MJDP 24‑94 Aylesford Subdivision (Holy Spirit Newman Center): Committee approved the revised plan with the conditions in packet; the applicant will provide a lighting plan and resolve sanitary‑sewer conflict details before final approval. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLN MJDP 24‑99 Givens property (Outlot 7, 7 Brews): Applicant requested and the committee granted a postponement to allow staff and applicant to resolve corner‑lot and lot coverage issues; motion to postpone carried unanimously.

- PLN MJDP 24‑100 Hamburg East Lot 4C (Firebirds Wood Fired Grill): Committee approved the amended plan subject to 17 conditions including a required consolidation plat prior to certification; staff clarified the lot is not a corner lot under Article 16 because the adjacent route is an access easement and not a street. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLN MJDP 25‑1 GDK Farm LLC (Turner property): Committee approved the mixed single‑family and townhome plan with 20 conditions; plan extends across the Jessamine County line and includes off‑site detention on property under the applicant’s control; committee noted timing for pump station capacity and encroachment permits. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLN MJDP 25‑3 Secure Justice Property Unit 6 (Polo Club Center Lot 1): Applicant requested a postponement to submit revised materials (paper copies arrived late); committee granted the postponement. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLN MJDP 25‑4 Great House property (Village of Great Acres): Committee approved the amendment to add clubhouse square footage and update unit types with 12 attached conditions. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLNMJDP 25‑5 Denton Farms Unit 2 Lot 1: Committee approved the conversion to attached townhomes and associated changes with conditions; staff noted tree‑inventory and grading issues, confirmed building height limits and requested a waiver request for lot frontage at final plat stage. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLNMJDP 24‑10 Distillery District West Unit 1 (Manchester Street): Committee approved the plan with understanding that several floodplain and FEMA‑level approvals remain to be obtained; staff noted the entire property lies in the floodplain and that the Floodplain Appeals Committee will need to review proposed fills, the guardrail and any long‑term storage use. Motion carried unanimously.

- PLN MJDP 24‑56 Red Mile Mixed Use Development: Committee approved the revised mixed‑use plan for hotel and restaurant, with an additional explicit condition requiring the applicant present a tree‑removal mitigation plan when the project is presented to the full planning commission; the committee flagged significant protected trees impacted by the hotel footprint. Motion carried unanimously with the added mitigation requirement.

What committee members and staff flagged
- Stormwater: Multiple applications (Liberty Road Service Center, GDK Farm/Turner property, others) have unresolved stormwater/manual compliance issues; staff emphasized engineering review and the stormwater manual’s separate relief/appeal process.
- Floodplain: The Distillery District West project was approved contingent on federal and floodplain committee approvals because construction and structures are proposed in mapped floodplain areas.
- Tree protection/mitigation: The Red Mile mixed‑use amendment overlaps previously designated tree‑protection areas; the applicant agreed a mitigation plan would be prepared and presented to address removal of several large specimen trees.

Next steps: Applicants must satisfy the conditions and sign‑off items identified by staff (lighting plans, consolidation plats, stormwater manual compliance, KYTC encroachment permits where drives access state routes, floodplain appeals where applicable). Several applicants asked for and received continuances to provide revised plans and to coordinate cross‑jurisdictional issues (for developments that extend into Jessamine County).
