Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV12-002
APPLICANT: Kenneth W. Peltier; c/o Dennis Swartz, Agent; Buyers and Sellers Realty; 7640 Slate Ridge Boulevard; Reynoldsburg, OH 43068.
PROPOSED USE: Allow lot splits and conform four existing two-unit dwellings.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with four two-unit dwellings on one lot zoned AR-1, Apartment Residential, and C-4, Commercial Districts. One dwelling and half of a second dwelling are currently situated in the AR-1 District, and the other half of that dwelling along with two additional dwellings are in the C-4 District. The requested Council variance will allow lot splits and conform the two-unit dwelling use so that each dwelling can be on its own lot, and subsequently sold. Variances for driveway width and maneuvering over property lines are included in the request. The site is located within the planning area of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends two-unit residential development for this location. A variance is necessary because the AR-1 District only allows two-unit dwellings on lots platted on or before January 14, 1959, and the C-4 District prohibits ground floor residential uses. The requested variances will create lots that are comparable with lots in the immediate neighborhood. Approval of this request will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
