Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-021
APPLICANT: M. H. Murphy Development Company; c/o Steven J. Fulkert; 677 Notchbrook Drive; Delaware, OH 43025.
PROPOSED USE: Apartment complex with commercial vehicular access and reduced perimeter yard.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission on May 8, 2014, for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance No. 1228-2014; Z14-008) to the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow vehicular access for future commercial development through a private residential street in the proposed apartment complex, and includes a reduction in the required perimeter yard along the north property line for said access. Use of the private drive for commercial traffic will reduce the number of full service curb cuts required along this section of Abbie Trails Drive which will help maintain the traffic flow. It is anticipated that residents of the adjacent apartment complexes will be the primary users of this access when commercial development occurs. The requested variance is the most effective mechanism to permit commercial access through the residential private street, and will not add an incompatible use to the area.
