Commissioners deny conditional-use permit for pole-vault training center after neighbor opposition

Butler County Board of Commissioners · June 23, 2026

Summary

Butler County denied a conditional-use permit (CU 26-07, Resolution No. 26-29) for a pole-vault training center at 13819 SW 134th St. amid neighbor complaints about traffic, noise, parking and emergency access and a township protest petition.

Toby Stewart presented Tyler Knight's request to construct and operate a 50-by-176-foot pole-vault training center on a 4.6+/- acre RR parcel at 13819 SW 134th St. Staff reported neighbors and the township raised objections and a valid protest petition was filed; staff recommended the facility meet county codes but noted concerns. Neighboring landowners listed by staff included Kelly Christensen, Troy Zimmerman and Paul Leis.

After discussion of traffic, noise, parking, wastewater and emergency response access, Commissioner Darren Jackson moved to deny Resolution No. 26-29 for the CUP; Commissioner Kelly Herzet seconded and the motion to deny carried 4-0.
