clarification from Gary Muller:
The special capital boundary (South Frankfort) and discussions have not been voted on or finalized. The draft document mentioned below is for across the river in the SH district.
However, it is likely that that version may be considered to be applicable for the remaining Special Capital district (if it is reduced) and would be good to compare. Staff had suggested at the last South Frankfort meeting that if the boundary was reduced as much as some has requested, then the remaining areas might ought to follow the same as the Special Historic – proposed draft – guidelines.
Because a grant was awarded for the draft SH district guidelines – it has a specific time-frame to keep the funding, so we are concentrating on that , then we can compare it to what we have in South Frankfort to see if it would be appropriate to make them the same, or reduce the boundary and use them, or to draft an entirely different set for South Frankfort. I hope this helps explain where we are.

Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Special thanks to Kentucky Heritage Council’s – CLG grant award, being utilized to hire a consultant for this project/document.
The Special Capital Historic guidelines topic is anticipated to resume following the SH design guideline discussions during future meetings in late summer/early fall.
