Board approves third accessory structure and location variance for Pendleton property with conditions
Summary
The Oldham County Board of Adjustments approved June 18 a conditional use permit and a location variance for a third accessory structure at 2110 Ridge Road in Pendleton, contingent on removal of inoperable vehicles, limiting small outbuildings to agricultural use, required permits/inspections and allowing inspections by Code Enforcement.
The Oldham County Board of Adjustments and Appeals approved a conditional use permit and a location variance on June 18 for an additional accessory structure at 2110 Ridge Road in Pendleton, subject to conditions intended to address prior code concerns.
Staff told the board the 5.57‑acre property (zoned CO1 with a corner of AG1) previously received a January 2022 nuisance warning for junk vehicles and an unpermitted salvage operation and a December 2025 stop‑work order for construction without permits. The applicant sought permission for a third accessory structure on parcels larger than 5.01 acres and a location variance to place that accessory structure between the principal residence and the front property line.
Applicant Amanda Collins, sworn for testimony, and attorney Shawn Paris displayed aerial photographs and neighborhood examples to show other nearby properties with ancillary structures partially or entirely sited between houses and the road. Collins agreed to remove non‑operable vehicles from the property and to limit the two smaller outbuildings to agricultural uses such as feed and garden supplies; she also agreed to allow Code Enforcement to inspect the property to verify compliance. "The non‑operable vehicles will be removed," Collins said.
Staff and the board clarified which existing structures would remain, which would be demolished (applicant said the carport will be removed), and that the proposal’s conditions would prohibit commercial use of the structure without further review. A board member moved to approve the conditional use permit with conditions that the CUP apply only to the plans considered on June 18, that permits and inspections be obtained, that Code Enforcement be allowed onto the property to verify compliance, and that the two small outbuildings be restricted to agricultural uses until the carport is removed; the motion carried.
The board also approved the requested location variance, citing site‑specific characteristics and photographic evidence of neighboring precedents. The board recorded the approvals and instructed staff to ensure compliance with the conditions before issuing any building permits.
