Jolly Ranch and Jolly Drive moved one chapter forward during Tuesday night’s Cadiz-Trigg County Planning Commission meeting, when the collective unanimously approved final plat lines for eight lucrative lots — subject only to revisions proposed and the signatures required on the properties.
Frank Williams, president of Ronald Johnson & Associates and Trigg’s city/county engineer, unfurled these boundaries in a final map — detailing notions that subdivision owners Scott and Ellen Jolly have negotiated with a couple of subdivision clients in order to combine and consolidate.
Williams iterated the reasoning for the combinations comes from the potential of new businesses building in the area. Though the names of said businesses went undisclosed during Tuesday’s meeting, Williams added these negotiations were coming from “good clients.”
Jolly Ranch and its frontage road, Jolly Drive, are currently under development and construction along US 68/80 across from Toll Gate Centre. And though not officially part of the subdivision, Senor Lopez Mexican Restaurant and Bambino’s Pizza & Subs are nearing construction completion along Jolly Drive.
Williams said Jolly Drive is paved and ready to go, and is almost prepared to be open to traffic. The four-way stoplight has already been installed, and state approval is all that remains.
In a project that’s long been in the works, the Jolly family approached the Cadiz City Council in May, in hopes to receive fiscal assistance to install a water line along Jolly Drive and inside the development.
In June, the Cadiz City Council approved a $12,000 payment for such service in three $4,000 installments, for what was an expected cost of $28,000 for the water connection.
