Five Star convenience store and fuel station in Buckner
Oldham County
Summary
Newcomb Oil built 13 extra parking spaces and extra pavement before requesting waivers, then apologized for the 'misstep.' Stormwater is the sticking point since the site isn't big enough to trigger detention requirements, so commissioners want a rain garden or landscaped island worked out with engineers.

Impact analysis
The applicant may fund a rain garden or landscaped island as stormwater mitigation.
The business gains parking and circulation; downstream Spring Hill properties gain if runoff is mitigated.
Downstream properties toward South Fork Harrods Creek and Spring Hill could see more runoff if the 3.1 percent impervious increase is unmitigated.

Oldham County Technical Review Committee — May 20, 2026
Newcomb Oil wants to rework the layout of a never-built gas station and store on C-2 land at La Grange Road and Quality Place. Stormwater basin encroachments, fuel tank placement and KYTC's right-in/right-out requirement are the open technical issues before the planning commission hearing.
