A conflict over off-site parking of refrigerated meat trucks between a JBS hog plant in the Butchertown neighborhood of Louisville, Ky., and the residents of the neighborhood could be nearing a resolution. The company BS's recently submitted a lengthy application for a permit for a "potentially hazardous or nuisance use" at the parking lot, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The permit application contends that it is an appropriate use for the site in the mixed-use area and that granting the permit would not have an adverse effect on neighboring properties. It says measures are being taken to improve the conditions — including addition of a "sound wall" or fence beside a truck "wash out" building on the lot near Webster Street.
