14 July 2014 City of Frankfort – Board of Commissioners – Work Session
Dear Neighbors:
I wanted to let you know of the city’s upcoming work session on Monday, July 14 at 5 p.m. at City Hall – during this session, I believe there will be discussion relating to the zoning ordinances that affect the historic areas of Frankfort, which includes South Frankfort.
Please see the attached draft memo prepared by Gary Muller discussing some possible changes and background. I have also attached the parts of the ordinances that are being referenced as they currently read.
Thank you and enjoy your weekend!
Katie
SFNA 4th of July Information and call for officer nominations
e want to wish everyone to have a safe and happy 4th of July tomorrow!!!!
To start a reminder that our weekly trash pick-up will be postponed until Monday, July 7. The good thing is that Frankfort will be offering a free pick-up week on our regularly scheduled day during the week of July 14!
If you want to get an early start on patriotic activities tomorrow, then head to Buffalo Trace for their annual 5k through the grounds of the distillery. Then, join SFNA to parade down Paul Sawyier drive at 11 a.m. in your patriotic bike, trike, stroller, or wagon (helmet wearing is encouraged) to finish at Dolly Graham Park for hot dogs and frozen treats. Take a small break, but keep your decorations on and head across the river to Liberty Hall for their Old Fashioned 4th of July event kicking off at 2 p.m. with another bike, trike, and stroller parade to showcase your patriotic spirit – complete with watermelon and prizes! Finish the day watching fireworks provided by the VFW – veterans and families are welcome at Capital View Park at 7 p.m. for dinner. If you want to stay close by the neighborhood, then come to the Capitol Annex parking garage for a safe and unobstructed view of the fireworks. SFNA has requested that the top level of the garage be closed to vehicles and the city might have a firetruck for the kids to explore and Walk/Bike Frankfort and Folkbike Recyclery will be present with their bike blender machine demonstrating how to use our energy to power a blender for perfect smoothies!
Regarding the SFNA’s next meeting on July 24th we will hold officer elections and would love to know if you are interested in serving as an officer! The current Board has been discussing some changes to the bylaws, and if you are interested in being an officer we would like your input prior to distributing the proposed changes to the full membership. In order to do this, we need to talk to you next week! In accordance with the current bylaws, the proposed changes will be distributed to the membership next weekend for their review prior to the meeting.
Have a great weekend!
Katie and your SFNA Board

4 July 2014: South Frankfort kids parade & fireworks viewing
Next week we will once again host our yearly parade down Paul Sawyier Drive to Dolly Graham Park. So dust off and decorate your bike/trike/stroller/wagon and
meet at East 4th and Paul Sawyier on Friday, July 4th at 11 a.m.
After everyone is done showing off their patriotic pride, we will have a hot dog cook-out and sweet frozen treats at Dolly Graham Park! Please see the attached flyer to stick on your fridge, pass out at events, or forward to a neighbor to encourage them to come!
As a side note, if you are still in Frankfort that evening and want to watch the fireworks, SFNA has once again requested that the top level of the Capitol Annex parking garage be closed to vehicular parking. We want to provide as safe of an environment as we can for our families in town to watch the spectacular fireworks show the city puts on.
28 June 2014 road closures / March for the Memorial
Please be aware that on Saturday night, June 28, some roads within downtown and South Frankfort will be closed for a 5k race. The race route is the same as the fall Black Cat Chase and the roads will start being closed around 6 p.m. and the race will start at 7:30 p.m. I know that Capital Avenue (and around the Capitol) within South Frankfort will be closed. After the race live music will be downtown until 10 p.m.

storm damage east side – June 21 2014
The Frankfort street department will start collecting downed limbs on MONDAY June 23rd.
Please put trees limbs at the curbside for collection.
preservation grants / SFNA e-news additional items June 2014
Dear Neighbors,
We understand that some residents had difficulty maneuvering the streets this morning during the last leg of the Frankfort Trifecta race series coordinated through the YMCA. This series has been an annual event and today’s race was the longest of them all which required the closing of more streets than normal which provided an inconvenience, particularly to the residents of the east side of Capital Avenue.
We will do our best to get notice of such activities out to folks as soon as possible so that everyone is aware and can plan accordingly.
When the SFNA Board meets on Thursday night, we will discuss communicating with the city to request that permits for street closures take into consideration the impact it will have on residents and we will also request electronic signage be placed in the affected areas – especially if no alternative route can be provided to allow access to residents only within the course route.
On another note, I received word yesterday (during the time I was drafting yesterday’s SFNA e-mail and missed the notice) that the City of Frankfort is hosting a public workshop for any property owners interested in the Preservation loans and grants programs on Wednesday, June 18 at 5:30 in the Public Safety Building, public meeting room at 300 West Second Street.
This is a rare opportunity, never offered by the City before and we only have funding guaranteed this year! There are many types of eligible projects including restoring wood windows and siding. To view the applications, see the link to our website home page announcements here:www.frankfort.ky.gov. They will also meet individually with prospective applicants by appointment (502) 352-2097. Please see attached flyer for additional information.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend! Looking forward to seeing some of you on Friday, June 20 at the Kings Center dinner; Friday, July 4th at the SFNA kiddo parade and cook-out or that evening on the upper level of the Capitol Annex parking garage (remember we have requested people who drive to park inside the garage on levels 2-6, enter through Old Lawrenceburg Road, and are encouraging residents to walk to the event); or on Thursday, July 24th at the SFNA’s quarterly meeting at the South Frankfort Presbyterian Church.
