Glenmary Residents,

Today the Kentucky State Supreme Court ruled to deny the appeal filed on 6/30/2020 by Par Golf and Jefferson County Planning Zoning. This appeal challenged the Jefferson County Circuit Court’s Judge Barry Willett’s ruling on the 3 building lots on Glenmary golf property. This is a landmark decision for the state of Kentucky which upholds property rights and deed restrictions. The court decision is final.

The impact of this decision on the Glenmary golf property future is that it upholds the Circuit Court ruling. This ruling confirmed that the Glenmary Section 1 Master Deed Restrictions apply to the golf property. The property restriction of “recreational use only” stands and the land can’t be subdivided or developed. Any modifications of the golf property will require HOA approval. Any plans or modifications outside the Deed Restriction could only be considered by modification of the Deed Restrictions which require a 75% vote of approval by all sections of Glenmary lot owners.

A WDRB news report today showed Chris Theineman stating that the HOA is not communicating with him on his plans to reopen the 45 acre tract of the golf property. The HOA has met with Mr. Theineman and heard his proposal which was a pictorial overview with details to follow. We have responded to all of his communications and are currently waiting for his Architectural Request to review.

Glenmary Residents,

The attached letter was sent to Mr. Chris Theineman regarding the position of the Glenmary community and the HOA related to the rumored plan to purchase 45 acres of the Glenmary Golf property. This step was taken as a clarification due ot the fact that there has been a continued lack of communication from Mr. Theineman with the HOA on this plan. Please review this attachment and understand that Mr. Theineman has been advised of the pending litigation and the Jefferson County Circuit Court's interpretation of the Glenmary governing documents.  

Since this communication, the HOA has been advised by Mr. Theineman that he has actually closed the purchase of the 45 acre track of the Glenmary golf property to accomodate his Phase 1 Plan as a "Recreational" venue with a restaurant, pool, golf driving range and 3 holes of golf. The Glenmary Section 1 Deed Restrictions apply to any modifications to this property and will require HOA approval. 

The remaining 100 acres of the golf property are still owned by Par Golf and the appeal to Kentucky Supreme Court is "Under Review" with no update to report. Your HOA will continue to support this community within the limits of our governing documents and keep you updated on any changes. Please be advised that the HOA will continue to vigorously oppose any future plans to develop any part of the golf property without a 75% vote of approval by all sections of Glenmary.

Thank You,

Bob Thompson

Glenmary,

Please be advised that a public hearing is planned to develop 61 acres of the Long property which adjoins the east side of Glenmary by Kendrick Crossing. This plan is different from what was being communicated two years ago and this time the developer is Ball Homes and the plan calls for 103 new homesites. Although the details are not complete there will no doubt be the intent to connect to Glenmary streets. At the last review the Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Board approved the connection to Blacksmith Road and approved the use of Dobson Lane for emergency use only. This plan would route all construction traffic and have Glenmary streets serve as the only access. Additionally this plan would add to the congestion that occurs at Glenmary entrances for those entering or exiting Glenmary.

A much better plan for the Fern Creek community would be to route this traffic via an improved Dobson Lane. Please review the attached link which contains the plans and make your concerns for this plan known.  

You can contact City Councilman Robin Engel's office to express your concern with the plan. Additionally, your HOA is taking legal actions challenge this plan.

Thank You,

Bob Thompson

Residents,

You will notice that there were a couple of mistakes on the Courtesy Invoice that you received last week for the 2021 Annual Dues. The printer has accepted responsibility for these but it is important that they are pointed out and clarified. The mistakes are as follows:

 

1. The invoice date is incorrect and should have stated 12/29/20.

2. The letter shows the invoice is for 2020 where it is actually for 2021.

 

Please disregard these mistakes and use the invoice that you received as the 2021 Courtesy Invoice. 

If you have already mailed your payment, thank you. If you have not please do so asap.  

Thank You,

Bob Thompson

Glenmary Residents,

A number of residents are asking about a Zoom meeting proposed by Chris Thieneman regarding his plans to do some development in Glenmary. Mr. Thieneman says that he is a developer and has a contract to develop the golf property.

The HOA received a very strangely timed message, the week after the annual election, advising that he had this contract secured and he wanted to work with the HOA on his plans. The message was forwarded to our HOA attorney who responded that he had no knowledge of this contract. No direct communication with Mr. Thieneman has occurred since there is a court injunction in place which prohibits development of the Glenmary golf property. Additionally, there exists decisions from the Jefferson County Circuit Court and the Kentucky Court of Appeals supporting the HOA’s position that the golf property is governed under the Glenmary Section 1 Master Deed Restrictions which does not allow  development on this property. An appeal to these decisions has been filed earlier this year by Par Golf and Metro Planning and Zoning to the Kentucky State Supreme Court. To date, no decision to accept this appeal or to rule on it has been rendered.

At this point, any discussions with Mr. Thieneman regarding his plans would be inappropriate and based purely on speculation. The HOA will request to see a copy of his claimed contract but plans no action pending the ruling from the court.

Thank you for your continued support, patience and understanding on this matter.

Bob Thompson

Glenmary Residents,

The Kentucky Court of Appeals has denied the Request for Rehearing by Par Golf and Jefferson County Planning and Zoning last week (6/25). It is now possible that a filing to the Kentucky State Supreme Court could be made. Normally there is a 30 day window to take this action. If accepted by the court for consideration, it could take some time for the court to accept, reject or rule on. 

This has been a very slow process but our community's land rights have now been upheld by three court decisions. We will keep you posted with any updates.

Thank You,

Bob Thompson
