See Kentucky Statutes 100.111
  • Answer: The formal written statement by a defendant responding to a civil complaint and setting forth the grounds for defense.
  • Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
  • Board: means the board of adjustment unless the context indicates otherwise. See Kentucky Statutes 100.111

  • Citizen member: means any member of the planning commission or board of
    adjustment who is not an elected or appointed official or employee of the city,

  • Commission: means planning commission. See Kentucky Statutes 100.111
  • Conditional use: means a use which is essential to or would promote the public health, safety, or welfare in one (1) or more zones, but which would impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is located, or in adjoining zones, unless restrictions on location, size, extent, and character of performance are imposed in addition to those imposed in the zoning regulation. See Kentucky Statutes 100.111
  • Conditional use permit: means legal authorization to undertake a conditional use, issued by the administrative official pursuant to authorization by the board of adjustment, consisting of two (2) parts:
    (a) A statement of the factual determination by the board of adjustment which justifies the issuance of the permit. See Kentucky Statutes 100.111
  • Continuance: Putting off of a hearing ot trial until a later time.

  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
