Nelson County Gazette | April 1 2021 HRB appeal 215 W Step Foster @nelsoncountygazette5950 | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
On Thursday, April 1, 2021, the Bardstown City Council held a special meeting to hear an appeal of a Historic Review Board decision in regard to the historic home at 215 West Stephen Foster Ave. The home is owned by Bill and Cathy Conway of Bardstown, and after receiving approval of their plans to renovate and add onto the building, were shut down by a stop work order after their contractor replaced the original historic windows in the original part of the building. Conway's attorney, Thomas Hamilton, argued that the construction documents provided to the HRB included a notation that the original windows were to be replaced, and that the HRB approved the plans as they had been submitted. But once the original windows were replaced, the HRB objected. Their stop work order shut the project down. The Conways filed a lawsuit in Nelson Circuit Court, and the judge sent the HRB approval back to the council for an appeal hearing. Hamilton argues that his client submitted everything they planned to do, and the HRB approved those plans, only to object later during the construction process. Running time: 2 hours, 6 minutes.
