Update 3-5-2023
The community initiative to stop Rose Island Glen was successful!
At the February 28, 2023 Oldham County Planning Commission hearing, the developer’s request to proceed with Rose Island Glen subdivision was
denied by a vote of 9 to 1.
The developer’s request to waive Subdivision Regulations requiring connection of the development to nearby public sewer service was denied by vote of 7 to 3.
Thanks to everyone for your efforts to actively oppose Rose Island Glen. Your engagement and the Rose Island Road Community Preservation Alliance’s work throughout the preceding 21 months helped highlight this proposed development as contrary to the public good.
Special thanks to the Planning Commission for their responsible action in adhering to the Oldham County Planning Commission Subdivision Regulations.
The leadership of the Alliance is voluntary; however, we ask for and need donations to pay for attorney services, expert witness services, and administrative expenses.

We are in active discussions with Oldham County Officials, Local and State Legislators and the KentuckyTransportation Cabinet to identify and implement practical safety improvements to address Rose Island Road Community concerns with driving safety. Please visit this website for future progress reports.
Oversize/length trucks cannot negotiate the sharp turns on Rose Island Road and put oncoming vehicles at risk.
\he trucks often cross the centerline and take up both lanes forcing motorist off the road.
The Alliance is calling for a prohibition to be enacted to require oversize/length trucks to us KY 1793 to access Rose Island Road or be required to use an escort vehicle.
If you would like to speak with someone about the Alliance's mission, or how YOU can help,

On Friday, August 19 the Oldham County Circuit Court vacated (reversed) the May 2021 Planning Commission’s approval of the Rose Island Glen subdivision preliminary plan based on the question of use of septic vs. sanitary (public) sewer lines. Other appeal complaints, in particular the traffic safety hazards on Rose Island Road, were dismsissed.
"As the Plaintiff has established there is no issue of material fact, they are entitled to judgment under the law with regard to the sole issue of approval of the Rose Island Glen subdivision preliminary, including the proposal for individual septic systems, without findings by the Commission that the subdivision was not within ½ mile of a sanitary sewer line. "
“The Oldham County Planning and Zoning approval of the preliminary subdivision plan, PZ-21-010, Rose Island Glen, is vacated and remanded to the Commission for further review consistent with this Order.”
The Judge found in favor of the Rose Island Road Community Preservation Alliance's appeal that the Oldham County Planning Commission did not make a definitive case for approving the use of septic vs. sanitary sewer systems, citing the Oldham County Subdivision Code’s (OSCR4.7) requirement that sanitary sewer “shall” be used if sanitary sewer service is “reasonably accessible” to any portion of the development boundary. The Judge’s interpretation of the Code’s requirement appears to establish a precedent for the current or future developers to follow regarding this land parcel.
The Alliance will continue to vigilantly monitor the Commission’s actions going forward and engage when opportunities are afforded. The full text of the Judge’s ruling is included in the "Resources" section of this webpage and is available through this link:
2022.8.19 Oldham County Circuit Court Order Vacating Rose Island Glen Approval.
The Judge’s ruling marks the successful culmination of 15 months of active support, donations, legal appeal activity, and patience from the Rose Island Road community.
Many thanks to the Alliance’s supporters in the Rose Island Road Community
