Office of the County Judge-Executive
Shelby County Fiscal Court
Press Release
January 21, 2009
WAZE Residential
Development in Shelby County Touted as Greenest
SHELBYVILLE, KY.
Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger announced
that the fiscal court has approved the request by the
WAZE Development Company for re-zoning on 57
± acres slated to
offer multiple housing options featuring English and
French Tutor design styles in Shelby County and the
Louisville Metropolitan Area.
In their presentation
to Shelby County Planning and Zoning, representatives
from the WAZE Company cited that the development could
be one of their greenest including, but not limited to,
incorporating bio swales which are planted with native /
prairie grasses that not only decrease the rate of water
runoff, but also can be used as a filtration system to
improve water quality. Further amenities include a lake
with a waterfall that can be used for fishing or other
recreational activities, walking trails which will lead
to the nearby new Shelby County Public School soon to be
built, pervious concrete to be utilized for the
sidewalks to further reduce runoff, and many additional
green strategies or innovations will be incorporated in
to the development.
Rothenburger stated,
“This is exactly the type of approach that we are
looking for in Shelby County to promote health, fitness,
and environmentally friendly developments.”
The 57± acres that the WAZE Company recently presented are a portion of
the 440 acres in total holdings that WAZE will
ultimately be developing over the next several years.
Currently, 240±
acres have already been re-zoned, accounting for 334
units slated to be built.
