An asphalt plant rezoning request for Antioch appears on tonight’s Metro Council agenda, but the proposal’s sponsor said he plans to defer the vote.
District 28 Councilman Duane Dominy said Monday he’s pushing off the vote “indefinitely” so he can visit an operational asphalt plant that uses similar technology to what is being proposed in Antioch.
“I want to see what the smells are from 500 feet and 1,000 feet and 1,500 feet,” he said.
Hot Mix Asphalt has requested an eight-acre residential site on Franklin Limestone Road be rezoned. The council voted 22-15 to send the proposal to third reading earlier this month after more than 20
Antioch residents spoke against the rezoning.
Dominy said he’d like to bring along residents — including opponents — to visit operational plants.
