KRS 183.872: Acquisition of property rights.

In any case in which it is desired to remove, lower or otherwise terminate a

nonconforming use; or the approach protection necessary cannot, because of

unconstitutional limitations, be provided by zoning regulations; or it appears advisable

that the necessary approach protection be provided by acquisition of property rights rather

than by zoning regulations, the cabinet, commission, air board or boards, or governmental

unit may acquire by purchase, grant, condemnation or otherwise, such air right, easement,

or other estate or interest in the property or nonconforming use in question as may be

necessary to effectuate the purposes of this chapter.
