Planner Sandy Vergroden told the board the 7-acre property is in AG-1/CO-1 and that Oldham County zoning allows two accessory structures on parcels over five acres; a third structure requires a conditional-use permit. The applicant, Todd Polston, said the lot has an existing horse barn and an outbuilding and that a third accessory building is needed. Polston said earlier attempts to site the garage behind the house were constrained by steep topography and the location of septic lines; he said a plumber advised against placing a driveway over septic lines. Vergroden confirmed that the proposed structure otherwise complies with accessory-structure standards but requires a location variance because it would sit between the principal building and the front-yard property line.

The board approved the conditional-use permit, finding the proposal consistent with the county comprehensive plan objectives for supporting compatible business or residential uses on larger parcels, and separately approved the location variance for the garage location. Both approvals were limited to the plan presented at the Aug. 6 hearing and conditioned on the applicant obtaining all necessary building permits and inspections from the appropriate agencies. The motions incorporated the applicant’s written justification and testimony into the record.

Board members noted the decision reflects topographic and septic-site constraints and assigned the standard conditions that building permits and inspections be obtained before construction.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oldham County Board of Adjustments August 6, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Oldham County’s Board approved a conditional-use permit to allow a third accessory structure and a location variance to place a 60-by-40-foot garage in front of the primary structure at 3706 Brookside Circle, conditioned on permits and limited to the plan heard Aug. 6.","taxTitle","Oldham County, Kentucky","taxId",72448,"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},6495256,"Board grants location variance for detached garage at 2804 Valley View Court",838,6678000,7516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5549094-1e285e528d45324faed9e5aaa8d45947&start=6678&end=7516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5549094-1e285e528d45324faed9e5aaa8d45947/thumbnail_6678000.jpg","/articles/6495256/Oldham-County/Kentucky/Board-grants-location-variance-for-detached-garage-at-2804-Valley-View-Court","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495256-2909edecb81e60f0ba928b03aeebf5ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1775422946&Signature=dHkjf-vA6oJIdVkgCpT8afOJQxzoSRcKWzGByNaA3ClWXDV6jLUAAL5MEBIm-LqJ9xODfqw5dXyQaawYY224nJPiORnnIP-fngdGeTRRnn7GZeNqkHzek1xBBskEApFZkFellDcdbRQJvh0K4bCPsrgstscKdriVhMVTV1co5yh-3zo3mgNhGUZAvP6XTmtvH8uARTJ0h1QLrRtHk8iBh~2Hz7t7yxtoqRJP1FPqtRteZiUVUb5VIz-cilhXSXKQ1JSSfAg3bVBAjVv121qjKXizyUeK1zA8iJ3r4ffxgNJVWEwrUX~~X9Pps4vQRHzC~IQWdWR2IM-ceIXUiAF9qA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oldham County Board of Adjustments and Appeals on Aug. 6 granted a location variance that allows a proposed detached 40-by-40-foot garage to be positioned in front of the principal residence at 2804 Valley View Court in LaGrange.

Applicant Tony Caramey told the board Valley View Court is an unimproved county right-of-way past his house and that he maintains the grassy section; he said the lot’s topography and septic field location limit alternative sites for a garage. Senior planner Sandy Vergroden told the board the proposed accessory structure would meet accessory-structure standards except for the code provision that prevents accessory structures from being placed between the principal building and the front-yard property line. The proposed garage would be about 37 feet from the front property line; the R-2 minimum front-yard setback is 35 feet.

Caramey said the area behind the house is steep, contains converging drainage features and utility lines, and is unsuitable for the garage. The board asked questions about the unimproved status of Valley View Court and the location of utility easements; Caramey said he owns the property on both sides of the unimproved portion and has maintained it for years.

After discussion, the board voted to approve the location variance, limiting the approval to the plan presented at the Aug. 6 hearing and requiring the applicant to obtain all necessary building permits and inspections from the appropriate agencies. The motion carried.","The board approved a location variance allowing a detached garage to be sited in front of the house at 2804 Valley View Court because of topographic constraints, conditioned on required permits and limited to the plan considered Aug. 6.",{"_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},6495261,"Board approves road-frontage variance for 6315 W.

Planning staff reported the parent parcel totals about 39.5 acres and that the applicant proposed to create a new 2.009-acre lot (Proposed Tract 2) so the remaining land can go into a family trust. Under Oldham County rules, parcels of 2.5 acres or less in AG-1 or CO-1 require 150 feet of frontage; the proposed lot would have zero feet of county/state frontage and thus requires a full 150-foot variance.

Andrea and Chris Hauser, who own the property, said the barn on the property was under construction when they bought the land and that the accessory living space (a permitted detached accessory dwelling unit) and the principal residence are in place; they said the subdivision is for estate planning and that the barn is used for agricultural storage and ornamental plants rather than a commercial business.

Surveyor-engineer Bob Vincent confirmed platting requirements and said the minor plat process will show access and utility easements; the engineer noted a maintenance agreement for any shared access will be addressed during platting. The board recorded a motion to approve the 150-foot variance, limited to the plan considered at the Aug. 6 hearing, and required submission of a minor plat and survey to staff for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. The motion carried.","The board granted a 150-foot road-frontage variance so owners Andrea and Chris Hauser can create a 2.009-acre parcel at 6315 West Highway 42 with no county or state road frontage, conditioned on a minor plat and staff review.",{"_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},6495265,"Board approves three setback variances for proposed industrial buildings at 4701 W.

Senior planner Anna Barge told the board the site is zoned I-2 (heavy industrial) and the applicant requested: a 25-foot side-yard variance (reducing the 35-foot side-yard requirement to 10 feet), a 30-foot front-yard building variance (reducing a 100-foot requirement to 70 feet), and a 25-foot front-yard parking variance (reducing a 35-foot parking setback to 10 feet). The applicant said the three variances allow buildings to be placed on the site’s flatter front area, preserve mature trees and locate detention without cutting extensive screening at the rear of the parcel.

Valerie Shannon, representing GHZ Property LLC, told the board the rear building would include loading docks and needs truck-turning area; the front building would be light industrial/flex space intended mainly for vans and passenger vehicles. Engineer Bob Vincent confirmed an existing Oldham County water easement and said it terminates at a hydrant; he said detention and grading plans are separate from the drainage and water service infrastructure.

A letter of opposition from owners of the Buckner Pointe Apartments cited concern that moving industrial uses closer to the front property line could reduce the buffer between heavy industrial activity and the residential complex across the street. The applicant said the planned layout preserves tree screening and places buildings on flatter ground to minimize grading and avoid easements and railroad spurs at the rear.

The board made three separate motions—one for each variance—each limited to the plan considered at the Aug. 6 hearing and conditioned on submission of a landscaping and lighting plan for administrative review. Each motion passed. Board discussion noted the site’s slope and existing adjoining industrial buildings, and several members said the layout was consistent with the character of Quality Place and the surrounding industrial uses.

The approvals permit the applicant to proceed to detailed engineering and landscape/lighting plans; staff review of those plans must occur before permits are issued.","The board granted side-yard, front-yard building and front-yard parking variances for a proposed two-building industrial development at 4701 W.

Planning staff told the board the proposed Lot 1 would be 4.617 acres and have 40 feet of county road frontage after the applicant agrees to extend South Buckeye Lane 40 feet; the ordinance requires 300 feet for AG-1 or CO-1 zoned parcels of 2.5 acres or greater, meaning Lot 1 required a 260-foot variance and the 3.501-acre residual Lot 2 required a 300-foot variance because it would have no county or state road frontage.

The request was presented by John Hein of the Oldham County Planning Division and argued for by attorney Michael Swansberg for the applicant. Swansberg cited Kentucky law and told the board that KRS 100.243 permits boards of adjustment to grant dimensional variances after finding that \"the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare, will not alter the essential character of the general vicinity, will not cause a hazard or nuisance to the public, and will not allow an unreasonable circumvention of the requirements of the zoning regulations.\" He said the parcel is a legal nonconforming lot that had no county road frontage when the ordinance was enacted and that the requested variances are needed so the owner can subdivide in a way similar to other properties in the zoning district.

County engineer Jim Silliman told the board the applicant must build the 40-foot extension to county pavement standards and provide appropriately sized culvert calculations; he said the segment likely needs to be long enough to accommodate a hammerhead turnaround for county plows. Neighbor Kenneth Handmaker and his attorney, Mike Gregory, said drainage and long-term maintenance of the private roadway are concerns; Gregory said the existing access dates to the 1970s and there is no shared maintenance agreement for the private drive. Planning Director Ryan Fisher noted that the required minor plat and subsequent staff review will notify agencies including the fire department and allow technical review of drainage and access.

The board approved two separate motions: one granting the 260-foot variance for proposed Lot 1 and a second granting the 300-foot variance for proposed Lot 2. Conditions recorded by the board require that the variance(s) apply only to the plan considered at the Aug. 6, 2025 hearing, that a minor plat and survey be submitted and approved by staff prior to issuance of any building permits, and that any road improvements meet Oldham County engineer standards and be approved before acceptance into the county road maintenance system. Both motions were seconded and carried.

The approvals allow the applicant to proceed to platting and the county review process; technical details such as final culvert sizing, turnaround dimensions, and maintenance agreements will be resolved during staff review before any permits are issued.","The Oldham County Board of Adjustments on Aug. 6 approved two variances that let an 8.1-acre property at 1309 South Buckeye Lane be split into a 4.617-acre lot and a 3.501-acre residual lot, with conditions including a minor plat and county-approved road work.","actionData","errors"]
