Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-134
APPLICANT: Eric D. Martineau; 3006 North High Street, Suite 1A; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling within the R-2F, Residential District. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district does not allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot, while the applicant proposes to build a carriage house above the existing garage. Variances for fronting, side yard, side yard obstruction, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is located in the German Village Historic District, which does not contain a recommended land use for this location. Staff supports the proposed variances as the request is consistent with similar proposals in the neighborhood, and will require a Certificate of Appropriateness for final building design from the German Village Commission.
