Appellants' attorney Melanie Thornberry argued the original variance application was administratively incomplete and was filed and scheduled after the published filing deadline. Thornberry cited the board's 2025 meeting calendar and a zoning provision requiring variance applications to include an accurate boundary survey prepared and stamped by a licensed Kentucky surveyor. \"The word shall is mandatory, not permissive or directory,\" Thornberry said, arguing the application lacked required survey elements, did not show required off-street parking information for a duplex, and listed incorrect or missing property-owner information.

Counsel for the property owner, Johnny Gifford, contended the board had no jurisdiction to hear the administrative appeal of its own final decision and said statute vests review of final administrative zoning decisions in the circuit court. Gifford said standing for such appeals is limited and that the correct forum for challenging a final board decision is Boyle County Circuit Court, not the board itself: \"The only party that even has authority in standing to be able to then appeal that is the applicant,\" he said.

Laura Alford told the board she and other adjacent owners did not receive mailed notice of the original variance hearing and said they first learned of the prior hearing when they observed construction onsite. Planning staff Mikayla Jerry replied that the office mailed notices by standard USPS and ran the required newspaper advertisement and that some envelopes returned as undeliverable; staff said mailings used the addresses on file with the property valuation administrator.

After deliberation, a board member moved to deny the appeal on procedural and standing grounds; the motion carried unanimously with the board concluding it did not have jurisdiction to overturn a prior final decision and that the appellants lacked the standing required to pursue the remedy before the board. The board's motion denied the appeal and left the avenue of relief (if any) to the courts as provided by state statute.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Danville-Boyle County Board of Adjustments Meeting - 3/18/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Adjustments dismissed an administrative appeal by adjacent property owners Jeffrey and Laura Alford, who argued a prior variance hearing was scheduled after filing deadlines and based on an incomplete application; the board found it lacked jurisdiction and the appellants lacked standing to overturn the prior final decision.","taxTitle","Danville City, Boyle County , Kentucky","taxId",53940,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6119391,"Board grants CHI Saint Joseph variance for larger wall sign on South Danville Bypass elevation",466,677000,1143000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2712423-5a93a3550040a7a16e31a2db3ec363bd&start=677&end=1143","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2712423-5a93a3550040a7a16e31a2db3ec363bd/thumbnail_677000.jpg","/articles/6119391/Danville-City/Boyle-County/Kentucky/Board-grants-CHI-Saint-Joseph-variance-for-larger-wall-sign-on-South-Danville-Bypass-elevation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6119391-4e4b2bbd10ac1b78171b63803f73602c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776613651&Signature=L9JIv57D0tsGXi7ZbExjW1VRHFhhEzFSieN663vzQo6r9ECYzRSPDnRuzjq746vhf4b8kjSAT5I4pBYkRYhyeMtMsYfGlb9fw2HRKbJVrYHX029bI-SVOqzUOdxXIdsfxlxOaQxNNqilKDrPL9LDNB1mP7CaO26otxST3ixjziD0HsOPuWnWmN6GOi4suqJEqhBL~V0rD5UVTTrX1mwXg7LPjI~-yUJWpSFieHTOl342yDmMprywEg0hyeSDFYb62HxpBbVv6Sv48ztdFT2oVjI7C8E6Gb-C1bwMZtEdTqZqoU14qk7OLRVCiv8hJVBIs1klbE3WTziftSQMDDZ4~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Danville Board of Adjustments unanimously approved a variance to allow a larger wall sign for CHI Saint Joseph at a light-industrial property on West Ridge Drive, finding unique circumstances where the building's setback and bypass travel speeds reduce drivers' viewing time.

Planning staff explained the sign standard — a 96-square-foot maximum or 10% of the facade — and told the board the proposed wall sign on the bypass-facing elevation would be about 6.87% of that facade but would exceed the 96-square-foot cap. Staff presented sight-distance and visibility estimates and said the bypass speed (55 mph) reduced the time drivers would have to read a smaller sign.

Elizabeth Pitchford of Ruggles Sign, the sign manufacturer, said the building is approximately 100 feet from the South Danville Bypass and that at 55 mph \"you have approximately 6.9 [seconds] to be able to view and read and recognize the sign.\" She said reducing the sign to 96 square feet would drop visibility to about 3.7 seconds.

Board member Jim moved to approve the variance with an explanation that the building's setback from the bypass and travel speed created a unique circumstance; Lonnie McGuire seconded. The motion passed unanimously. A board member (Mr. Renna) suggested adding a finding that the reduced viewing time and setback are the unique circumstances that justify the variance; the board adopted that framing during deliberations.

The staff report and discussion noted the existing building elevation is roughly 2,016 square feet and that the proposed lettering and sign placement were modeled for driver recognition on the bypass. The board's action allows CHI Saint Joseph to install the larger bypass-facing sign subject to the conditions discussed at the hearing.","The Board approved a variance allowing CHI Saint Joseph to install a wall sign larger than Danville's 96-square-foot standard on the building elevation that faces the South Danville Bypass, citing building setback and driver visibility.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6119396,"Board approves conditional use permit for woodworking business at 176 West Jefferson Avenue with indoor/no-customer conditions",468,205000,673000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2712423-5a93a3550040a7a16e31a2db3ec363bd&start=205&end=673","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2712423-5a93a3550040a7a16e31a2db3ec363bd/thumbnail_205000.jpg","/articles/6119396/Danville-City/Boyle-County/Kentucky/Board-approves-conditional-use-permit-for-woodworking-business-at-176-West-Jefferson-Avenue-with-indoorno-customer-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6119396-27d775af37af0596cb7a6278b11d689d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776613651&Signature=WCe8N01OGYuYhbdrtGRkICBTMw~mte7G45SQNgGIwdDKv-lqKLhK1inECgAtkEZPaS47pZu-uidKwcaiNivFT6KhYVhmgtSPyJDtM2wtQAua8m1sQi~~erasbcYqna7YbxKyM8kczg8ZvuhR-RtgnpPp9qaK0x~o6Zsz4jbV-kJK1RQ41kr-8FmNjALB0HKp-hNsnMEWP5vSxglSLCFcbGEyprJNVruzvm95fAysvFVdv~eU84gPa9BxN3cdIOsYjl44noIgwf2bOnSmTTTNl-Yu-VwaYUXnYWOkihXQ8Nn2NZHPbQM0jOu7bVkliLSF1sre8NCoMWWy8-M04ZfRVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Danville Board of Adjustments unanimously approved a conditional use permit allowing woodworking and craft production for off-site sale at 176 West Jefferson Avenue, subject to conditions intended to limit noise and on-site customer traffic.

Planning staff Mikayla Jerry described the request as a home-occupation conditional use in an RM-2 (two-family residential) zone under the home-occupation standards. Jerry summarized the proposed restrictions and staff-recommended conditions, noting \"I highlighted number 7 just because I have a little bit of concern about noise levels associated with woodworking on the site.\" She recommended conditions including no customers on-site, all woodworking operations to occur indoors, and that sales be routed to farmers markets or by mail.

Applicant Jonathan Crowley said the shop is in a roughly 12-by-25 outbuilding behind the house and that \"when the doors are closed, you can't hear it.\" He said a neighbor provided a letter stating they have not heard noise from his operations and that he does not conduct assembly or staining work outdoors.

Lonnie McGuire recused himself from this application. Board member Jim and others asked about the city's noise ordinance. After discussion, a board member moved to approve the permit and noted that concerns about noise were addressed by the operation being indoors and by neighbor statements; the motion was seconded and the board voted \"All in favor? No opposition. Motion passes.\" The board adopted the conditions recommended by staff.

The approved conditions recorded in the staff report require that the woodworking be conducted by residents only, that operations remain secondary to residential use, that there be no visible change to the dwelling's exterior, no customers on-site, and that operations be indoors to mitigate noise.","The Danville Board of Adjustments granted a conditional use permit to Jonathan Crowley to produce woodworking and craft items at 176 West Jefferson Avenue, with staff-recommended conditions limiting customers on-site and requiring indoor operations to address noise concerns.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6119402,"Board of Adjustments tables short-term rental application at 747 Claunch Road for additional notice",49,137000,186000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2712423-5a93a3550040a7a16e31a2db3ec363bd&start=137&end=186","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2712423-5a93a3550040a7a16e31a2db3ec363bd/thumbnail_137000.jpg","/articles/6119402/Danville-City/Boyle-County/Kentucky/Board-of-Adjustments-tables-short-term-rental-application-at-747-Claunch-Road-for-additional-notice","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6119402-30509257339f4615ed00a0f32cf9ca66/orig.mp4?Expires=1776613651&Signature=W3y6rfsodzPfLJySNJnbK6pW3RHzJvLwRV3rAE~DET0LJB2vgdkYyPb5o6H2~cgNGXAOTwsELWinNLp6ySp~GwolU5fcpoWZaU0Mx7I1DrqPiSrtzyYo-Rn4uYnWaBVOisjMhtFxTO67IHa2FqveJP-lxlPpAeb5O5t0GMPQlgI2NyMotDQ~kRq1Z2ehNm8EP1ZyJVRqJR0eKpngN0QpUVsTrNZ0ekaq9HYlr--jnQRYwKo3nsx~a0FDUk7aTU62YT0s6E3m6hEn2tVCNbFOqMW~RGvgmprho6Xc5Rrqw~eiKj7wLBa~K5Nu0QA5J2wbet4ZoUeIeSTrIiP~Yoa8~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Danville Board of Adjustments voted unanimously to table a conditional use permit application for a proposed short-term rental at 747 Claunch Road after staff reported required notice had not been sent to Mercer County.

Planning staff member Mikayla Jerry told the board she had sent the newspaper advertisement and on-site signage but had not sent required notice to Mercer County for a parcel that crosses county lines and requested the item be postponed to allow staff to complete the notice process. \"I did not send notice to Mercer County. So I'm asking that we postpone it so I can send proper notice,\" Jerry said.

Board Chair asked for a motion; Lonnie McGuire moved to table the item and a board member identified as Mike seconded. The board voted \"All in favor? No opposition.\" The item was continued to the April meeting so staff could complete the required cross-county notification.

The application on the agenda was listed as an application from Kelly and Anne Griffith to operate a short-term rental at the property; staff noted the parcel lies partly in Boyle County and partly in Mercer County and therefore required notice to both jurisdictions. No public testimony or substantive discussion on the merits of the short-term rental occurred because the item was postponed.

The board returned to its prior order of business after making the motion to table.","Danville Board of Adjustments voted unanimously to table a conditional use permit application for a short-term rental at 747 Claunch Road after staff said required inter-county notice to Mercer County was not sent.","actionData","errors"]
