Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-062
APPLICANT: Jeffrey Kee; 6300 Hilltop Avenue; Reynoldsburg, OH 43068.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-family dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District.

A hardship exists because the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options and the dwelling has been long established on this lot. The use of the property as a single-family dwelling is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood with dwellings to the east, west and south of the subject site.
