has always been our farmland. So the city
was saying: 'If we keep growing out, we're
going to grow into what makes us unique'."
From time to time, there might be a fresh
compromise: notably the new outer ring,
Man O' War Boulevard, played off against
an expanded minimum acreage, beyond, of
40 per house. Then there are 30,000 acres
held in conservation easements, purchased
jointly by city and federal government; or
others donated to the Bluegrass Conser-
vancy as a tax break.
Last year the Planning Commission re-
jected proposals—made on the basis that
land was too expensive to bring jobs to Fay-
ette County—to let out the reins on a new
boundary. Instead the city is being urged to
rejuvenate those urban zones that might
have become outdated in aspect or utility.

It's always had this really good land
