Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-065
APPLICANT: James and Janice Conway; c\o Michael T. Shannon, Atty.; 500 South Front Street, Suite 1200; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-family dwellings on one lot.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. This is a request for a second single-family dwelling on one lot zoned in the R, Rural District. A variance is required in that only one single-family residence is permitted on one lot. The applicant has already constructed the second dwelling. The applicant is also requesting a variance to permit a garage larger than 720 square feet, or larger than one-third of the size of the principal building. The primary residence is a 1,928 square foot single-family dwelling. The second dwelling includes 1,024 square feet of habitable space and a 1,024 square foot garage. The second dwelling is not compatible with development in the area. There is single-family residential development to the north, east and west of the subject property. There are large accessory structures on two lots approximately 600 feet (six lots) west of the subject property. They are both set back from the main residences and the land slopes away from the street, so they are not as imposing. The proposed second dwelling is out of scale with the adjacent single-family residences and is not consistent with the predominant development pattern in the area.
