The commission voted 13‑0 to approve docket PZ‑25‑019.

The project is sited at 7519 Apple Patch Court in Crestwood on a 4.5‑acre parcel in the R‑4 Residential District and proposes a single 84,333‑square‑foot building with a walkout basement and 72 one‑bedroom units. \"The purpose of this site will be for individuals with intellectual disabilities to live independently while having support services available,\" senior planner Anna Barge told the commission.

The commission's approval is limited to the plan presented at the Aug. 26 public hearing. Staff noted the approval carries standard binding elements: no changes may be made without review by the Planning Commission and the County Engineer's Office, and the plan must comply with applicable federal, state and county ordinances and with easement restrictions at the time of construction plan approval.

County engineering staff flagged stormwater and drainage as review items for construction‑plan submittal. County engineer Mike Silliman told commissioners the project will disturb more than one acre and therefore must obtain a KY R10 permit from the Kentucky Division of Water and a county stormwater quality/erosion control permit. He said review will include an analysis of the existing detention basin serving the area to ensure current volume and water‑quality standards are met.

Traffic also was discussed. Silliman and staff referenced earlier traffic studies for the larger Apple Patch/Brownsboro Woods area. Because the posted speed limit on KY‑329 near the site has been reduced to 35 mph, staff said an updated study concluded a left‑turn lane at the project entrance is not required. The county is coordinating broader traffic work on KY‑329 with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

Pillar is the applicant on the development plan; Andrew Hawes of the Housing Partnership represented the project and said Pillar will locate office space for staff on site and provide common areas for residents. Mike Hill of Land Design and Development presented the site plan and architectural renderings, describing a low driving rate among the tenant population and a parking layout sized for the expected low number of resident drivers and staff.

A nearby resident, Judy Krask of 7415 Highway 329, spoke in opposition on traffic‑safety grounds. Krask described frequent run‑offs and heavy truck traffic on KY‑329 and urged greater enforcement and roadway improvements near her property.

The motion to approve PZ‑25‑019 was made by Commissioner Davis and seconded by Commissioner Marsh. A roll call vote recorded 13 yes, 0 no. The record includes staff materials and the applicant's amended plan showing a single primary entrance on Apple Patch Way and a secondary access for maintenance/trash only.

Commission minutes note PZ‑25‑016 (Bowman Consulting, 1913 South Highway 53) was removed from the docket because a required traffic study was not yet available; that item is expected to return at a later date.

The commission moved on after the vote to the next docket item.

Docket PZ‑25‑020 passed by a 13‑0 roll call.

The properties are in the C‑2 Commercial District. The applicant, represented by attorney Mike Swansbury of Swansbury and Smith, asked the commission to allow the owners of Madeline's Nibbles and Wine to occupy the adjacent house at 113 North First Avenue so the owners can be on site more often while continuing to operate the restaurant at 111.

\"We're talking about a mixed use situation here for those properties located at 111 and 113 North First Avenue,\" Swansbury said, arguing the request aligns with multiple objectives in the Oldham County Comprehensive Plan that encourage development in areas with existing infrastructure, support mixed‑use downtown centers and promote business retention.

Staff planner Sandy Rick Roden told the commission the properties were posted and noticed in advance of the hearing and that the buildings and surrounding downtown area include other mixed‑use instances. Roden said one of the structures contains an existing apartment that previously operated as a short‑term rental.

Commission discussion focused on whether the waiver should run with the land or be limited to the current owners, and on whether the waiver should be linked to a permanent zoning change. County counsel and commission staff outlined possible binding elements, including limiting the waiver to the current ownership and requiring the applicant to apply for a permanent zoning change within 12 months. Swansbury said the applicant agreed to apply for a zoning amendment and was prepared to limit the waiver to the current owner; he said the owners expect to pursue a rezoning to CN (a mixed‑use commercial designation) as the longer‑term fix.

The final motion and conditions approved by the commission read: the waiver applies only to the plan reviewed at the Aug. 26 public hearing; the applicant shall apply for a permanent zoning change within 12 months; and the waiver will be limited to current ownership of the property and use consistent with the plan reviewed at the hearing. Commissioner Krauss made the motion to approve; Commissioner Davis seconded.

Commissioners asked staff and counsel about enforcement and practical effects if a rezoning application is denied. County counsel outlined that the waiver, as drafted, will remain unless the ownership changes or the owners cease the approved use; the commission discussed but did not adopt a binding condition that would automatically terminate the waiver if a rezoning is denied.

A roll call recorded 13 yes votes and no oppositions. The commission packet and staff notes say the applicant intends to file for a rezoning and that downtown LaGrange contains other CN‑zoned and mixed‑use parcels. No public opposition speakers were recorded at the hearing. The commission moved to its next docket item after the vote.

","Oldham County Planning Commission approved a waiver allowing mixed residential use at 111 and 113 North First Avenue in LaGrange so the restaurant owners can live next door; approval is conditioned on an application for a permanent zoning change within 12 months and limits the waiver to current ownership and to the plan presented.","actionData","errors"]
