Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-132
APPLICANT: Samuel Shamansky; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Residential development.
GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site currently consists of two parcels, one developed with a two-unit dwelling and one with a three-unit dwelling, in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit the applicant to split the lots, with each newly formed parcel being developed with a single-unit dwelling with three garage parking spaces. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district does not permit three-unit dwellings, as exists in Area B of the site. Variances for maneuvering, lot width, lot area, fronting, building lines, and side and rear yards are included in this request. Additionally, parking reductions for one space in Area A, and four spaces in Area B, are included in the request. The proposal is consistent with both the existing character of the area and with recent residential infill development proposals in historic urban neighborhoods, and is supported by the German Village Commission.
