Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-015
APPLICANT: Paul Fatkins; 583 Parker Run; Galena, OH 43021.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot at this location with the proposed construction of a rear dwelling unit above a detached garage (carriage house). A variance is necessary because while the ARLD district allows a dwelling containing one to four units, it does not allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot unless all R-4, Residential District standards can be met. Variances to lot width, fronting, rear yard, and required parking are included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which does not recommend a specific land use at this location, but does include residential design guidelines. Staff supports the request as the proposed use is consistent with both the residential character of the area and with similar carriage house requests in urban neighborhoods throughout the city.
