Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV03-029
APPLICANT: Connie J. Klema, Atty.; P.O. Box 991; Pataskala, Ohio 43062.
PROPOSED USE: A carriage house on a lot developed with a single-family dwelling.
.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will permit a second dwelling on a lot with a single-family dwelling currently under construction. The R-4, Residential District allows up to four units in the same dwelling only. The site plan indicates the proposed two-story structure with a single-family dwelling unit above three garage parking spaces. Building design will conform to the Italian Village Commission requirements. A hardship exists in that the owner committed to building a single-family dwelling in the likeness of the prior structure to preserve the architectural character of Italian Village, therefore limiting the ability to construct a larger dwelling or a two-family dwelling, which the 7,809 square foot lot could easily accommodate. The site lies within the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which encourages a mix of residential and office uses along the North Fourth Street corridor while retaining all existing residential uses.
