Staff presented the request as a building-line limit variance: the subdivision’s recorded plat requires a 50-foot building-line setback while the county R-2 setback is 35 feet. The applicant proposed a 43-foot setback for the corner of the addition, yielding a 7-foot variance from the recorded plat.

Applicant Lance Meadows described the addition as housing his in-laws and enabling ADA-compliant access for a family member with special needs; he said the addition otherwise complies with HOA bylaws. Board members asked about septic and utility capacity and whether the HOA restricts the change; the applicants said the HOA reviewed bylaws and identified no rule preventing the addition.

Board members noted the addition is modest in scale and that no letters of opposition were filed. The motion to approve found that the requested variance arose from the lot shape and corner geometry and would not adversely affect public health, safety or the character of the neighborhood. The variance was approved and limited to the plans considered at the Sept. 18 hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oldham County Board of Adjustments September 18 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A 7-foot variance from a recorded plat building-line limit was approved for 1532 Cameron Drive to permit a corner addition that will house the applicant’s in-laws, with no HOA objections on record.","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},6468095,"Board allows larger house footprint at 3620 Old Sligo Road, limits porch use",537,4543160,5081065,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f&start=4543&end=5081","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f/thumbnail_4543160.jpg","/articles/6468095/Oldham-County/Kentucky/Board-allows-larger-house-footprint-at-3620-Old-Sligo-Road-limits-porch-use","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468095-66484c1096e551891e2cc665f1213a7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442691&Signature=ZMyCt170J3ehErSN7V267lC6q4hnJ-2ZfzSd69dC195n6dKMeq5LApv-BtnL3tyBL2StMYXW6T4KPhQ5L1eouD9P~68gkI54C93wPOfKElTtwVUnPejXyWSO3xabE2sCknqvGN~vvEAzAVxvGWU5QB4CeFU3O~zdXlY~JARhVPAtgGRyTtnp4O~rkEqEsIPQAD~zD57TSJZ2ELiUnW89y5Pog48AJVff6Xa39Lz63vh7um-V5BF1fy4e~RNHo-FsKRtqjtjEnNp663SodAekCQWdhIa40rhszfs~PunKdmqllsaTssdqQLZcSuA~V0an7IPmBkFXhi~ynU0NlXDN6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Oldham County’s Board of Adjustments approved Sept. 18 a maximum lot-coverage variance for a proposed home at 3620 Old Sligo Road in LaGrange, allowing a structure, porch and garage totaling approximately 6,400 square feet on a 0.63-acre AG-1 parcel.

Planner Sandy Regroden said the parcel is zoned AG-1 with a 20% maximum lot coverage. On the lot’s 27,442.82 square feet, 20% equates to 5,488.56 square feet. Regroden reported the proposed combined coverage — house, covered porch and garage — is about 6,400 square feet (roughly 23.32% of the lot), which produced the variance request of about 3.32% of the lot area.

Applicant Kyle Kaminski told the board he planned porches and the footprint to fit his family; he said septic approval had been obtained and that without the porches the home’s interior square footage complied with the ordinance. He emphasized the porches were intended for outdoor use and not as enclosed living space.

Board discussion flagged a concern that exterior covered porch areas not be converted to enclosed living space; a motion to approve the variance therefore included a condition that the exterior porches not be used as living space. The board’s motion also stated that strict application of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of the land.

The board approved the variance by voice vote and recorded the approval with the square-footage variance amount and the porch-use condition. Staff will proceed with standard plan review and permitting to ensure other technical requirements are met.","The board approved a maximum lot-coverage variance to allow a proposed home, porch and garage totaling 6,400 sq. ft. on a 0.63-acre AG1 parcel at 3620 Old Sligo Road, with a condition that covered porch space not be used as enclosed living space.",{"_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},6468100,"Board grants 15-foot building-line variance for home at 1818 Zachary Drive",903,3615830,4518839,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f&start=3615&end=4518","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f/thumbnail_3615830.jpg","/articles/6468100/Oldham-County/Kentucky/Board-grants-15-foot-building-line-variance-for-home-at-1818-Zachary-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468100-134038ca3e70cf3206854dcee5417155/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442691&Signature=bXxRce99p3k6XIrc87QYq0Rb1-182tzkmRHcWVaaUWMasfIeEV-Kt1L3EPuS1Zpo4cvnzrQnhj4wWWKPsnoW-GfLua2e7Vrk7da5c57RaM27FImvJppctwTyQs~Bxnwz~oHzepcSDzP-YEwj5sQyOLx43QW-SZ6JnNb3LEXwIoQsYPae952FTd78Rs~MxJv6Sv0UnN9BNXO99EuBaNuUgyBF1Bt1P~jGTR~fa2XvUnorNzTmLy9jWOudEKZzSLVO3kR2lf-yuR7qqclqoyAIbioqe9lusw30c8RSWSfoTApHRGM6sN7IARtnAw7hzKLw8zipdBhJJ4CeAgiwI4XKdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oldham County Board of Adjustments on Sept. 18 approved a variance from a recorded plat’s building-line limit so a new single-family home can be built at 1818 Zachary Drive with a 35-foot front setback rather than the recorded 50-foot limit.

Staff explained that the parcel sits in the Woodridge Estate subdivision, whose recorded plat shows a 50-foot building line requirement, while the county’s R-2 front-yard setback is 35 feet. Because of topography and the location of the septic system, the applicant asked the board to permit the house to be located at the 35-foot setback.

The planner summarized: “The record plat required building line setback is 50 feet. The requested building line limit setback is 35 feet, so they're requesting a variance of 15 feet.” The applicant, Lewis Welly, told the board the lot is one of the few remaining flat one-acre parcels he found and that placing the house at the 35-foot setback would allow an attached RV garage and keep usable backyard space without encroaching on large trees behind the property.

Board members discussed homeowners-association/deed-restriction issues and noted the subdivision’s HOA board had not been formed and no letters of opposition were submitted. Staff noted their role is to enforce county zoning and that deed-restriction enforcement is a private matter among residents. The board found that the variance would not adversely affect public health, safety or the character of the neighborhood and approved the request; the approval applies only to the plan presented on Sept. 18.","A front-yard building-line variance from a recorded subdivision plat was approved to allow a home at 1818 Zachary Drive to be built with a 35-foot front setback instead of the subdivision’s recorded 50-foot building line.",{"_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},6468104,"Board approves conditional use and two variances for detached ADU at 5950 Old LaGrange Road",968,2349130,3317424,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f&start=2349&end=3317","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f/thumbnail_2349130.jpg","/articles/6468104/Oldham-County/Kentucky/Board-approves-conditional-use-and-two-variances-for-detached-ADU-at-5950-Old-LaGrange-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468104-086de6ac7742d299f273db4fb0dcb860/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442691&Signature=kxnzcsrRueeVGQs42Edj5R02OMt~zwbq3Nc5KyvMSb7Wox854zSQwXbf6s43rkUAmzL1mpuKN3HKzxpf9fB~NlBCEWvGCZxz-PD9trYSA~cBuIrUIZMX2q6Sb-HHSa6TSSqj7~SnwBgENksxdZMcOgvB3N-pY3zNy8KbevPyzuyf0G-eWUZy~a9CgfgeVW~IfrKuDbcH8MYvguc60C~gnzfP3tkJLgRLFZIJa2KFC6Xnx068gSq4Ny4WELs08C6SW6vv01qdC4XZ1whIvKiH2xt8xYboMo~7XArZfbjFvQ1mjq4ahTfTLAD8iITWzNxNyNVXFCdAFc9eFYSTf8kp9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oldham County Board of Adjustments on Sept. 18 approved a conditional use permit for a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 5950 Old LaGrange Road in Crestwood, and granted two associated variances: one that increases the maximum ADU size and another that allows the ADU to be located between the primary house and the road.

Senior planner Anna Barge explained that Oldham County Zoning Ordinance Section 250.040(e)(1) allows detached ADUs only by conditional use permit and that the county’s rule limiting an ADU’s size to 25% of the primary structure led to the square-footage variance request. Barge reported the primary residence measures 1,453 square feet by PVA records, creating a 25% maximum ADU size of roughly 363.25 square feet. The applicant asked to build a 684-square-foot ADU, a square-footage variance of 320.75 square feet.

Applicant Anne Howard told the board she and co-owner Leslie Hagen purchased the property for “generational living” and said their ADU is designed to be wheelchair accessible for Howard’s adult mother. Howard said she and her co-owner had “gone through probably 25 iterations of layouts and sizes” and that a smaller footprint could not accommodate ADA circulation requirements.

Barge also explained the request for a location variance: the ADU’s proposed placement is technically between the house and Old LaGrange Road because of the lot configuration and a shared driveway, so the applicant requested relief from the rule that detached ADUs not be located in front of the primary structure. Barge noted the ADU would meet adopted setback measurements despite its position between the house and road.

Board members asked about septic, ownership of tracts on the parcel and whether letters were filed; staff said no public letters were received. The board approved three separate motions: the conditional use permit (with a condition that the ADU not be used as a short-term rental) and the two variances (square footage and location). Each approval was limited to the plan considered at the Sept. 18 hearing.

Board members cited the applicant’s testimony about the need for an accessible layout and the lot’s configuration in making findings that the variances would not unreasonably circumvent zoning rules.

The conditional use permit and both variances were approved by voice vote; the board recorded the approvals with the stated condition that the ADU not be used as a short-term rental.","The Oldham County Board of Adjustments approved a conditional use permit for a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 5950 Old LaGrange Road in Crestwood and granted two variances: one for ADU square footage and one for the ADU’s location between house and road, with conditions limiting use.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468109,"Board approves 11-foot rear-yard setback variance for Victory Lane townhomes in Prospect",2015,294590,2310375,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f&start=294&end=2310","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782815-86fe3b910df02059d455dab99e07ad9f/thumbnail_294590.jpg","/articles/6468109/Oldham-County/Kentucky/Board-approves-11-foot-rear-yard-setback-variance-for-Victory-Lane-townhomes-in-Prospect","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468109-0ae78418a6768f1a0dd4d51f1554e50f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442691&Signature=fFw6Pc4bOAhpX2xbf9AlQHi1U5SzfyUOnSIlshwBmwVG8AkPzEVihK-Lx-tbIjJ6AU0GyJ7XMJfvcSer4sxTRTpsCppHbK4AF4yJlhNq~KM-Pitu7ptq~bvsiGRJ4Y890uAzngkYr3G364wQwNRoEL0xjjycDOiZP9C8KCqvVm2RzalGY9OxUUhj5uCvKWYqqQmaALj7SFWxowAm2krhiayQ8K3ixZR1uNVvfN3B9ClfykK~7eNKB-x11YJXaPI5mKD8X~Xd0pHJYEyyVyxL2H09Mt2WZIuFYR~FKFYPmpQDFqBWnDtNZI9azKEMzPWfLPLpFd3r5H96qLtuAfFj-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oldham County Board of Adjustments on Sept. 18 approved a variance to reduce the required rear-yard setback from 25 feet to 14 feet for a proposed phase 2 of townhomes along the 1800 block of Victory Lane in Prospect.

Planner John Hein, with Oldham County Planning and Development Services, told the board the lot is zoned R-4 and that “the required rear yard setback in R-4 zoning district is 25 feet. The applicant's plans propose a 14 foot rear yard setback. Therefore, they are requesting an 11 foot rear yard setback variance.”

The variance applies to a proposed eight-unit addition that would bring the total on the lot to 16 townhomes. Camille Hessen of Heritage Engineering, representing the developer, said the lot tapers and creates a “pinch point” that makes the standard rear setback impractical and argued the requested 14-foot setback aligns with an approved 14-foot landscape buffer: “We are requesting a variance to reduce that rear yard setback by 11 feet ... the proposed reduction will not affect the buffering of the site because it is consistent with the 14 foot landscape buffer.”

A written objection from Catherine Piles was read into the record, raising feasibility concerns about fitting a building, deck, stormwater basin, fencing and required landscape buffer inside the reduced area and warning of potential impacts on adjacent property values. Hein told the board engineering review and stormwater plans remain required during site-plan review if the variance is approved.

Board members discussed alternatives including reducing the number or depth of units, moving units forward, or redesigning footprints. Developer Chad Sprigler said redesigns had been considered but that the proposed unit size (about 1,600 square feet) and need to maintain a consistent streetscape limited options.

A motion to approve OC25-036 found that the variance would not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare, would not alter the character of the vicinity and would not create an unreasonable circumvention of zoning regulations. Conditions recorded by the board require that the variance apply only to the application considered at the Sept. 18 hearing and that the previously granted conditional use permit for a boat storage and repair facility on the parcel be revoked.

The board approved the motion by voice vote; the motion carried with the majority in favor and one recorded dissent.","The Oldham County Board of Adjustments approved an 11-foot rear-yard setback variance for a proposed eight-unit Phase 2 on Victory Lane in Prospect, revoking a previously granted conditional use permit for a boat-storage facility as a condition of approval.","actionData","errors"]
