Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV06-020

APPLICANT: Jeffrey J. Smith; c/o Chris Shea; 54 West Third Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43201.

PROPOSED USE: Second single-family dwelling (carriage house) on one lot.

VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. Approval. The site is developed with a single-family dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. The applicant proposes to build a carriage house above a two car garage on the rear of the property. A variance is necessary because the R-4 district does not permit more than one dwelling on the same lot. In addition to the use variance, requested variances include reductions to lot size, lot width, required side yard, rear yard, vision clearance and in the number of parking spaces from four (4) to two (2) and an increase in lot coverage. The building is proposed to be located five (5) feet from a 16" water line which runs under Hunter Avenue that was installed in 1888. Staff initially recommended approval, with the condition that the applicant negotiate a hold harmless cause for any damage to the proposed structure resulting from water line failure, repair, or replacement. The applicant is not willing to move the proposed structure away from the water line or to agree to a hold harmless cause, therefore, staff recommends disapproval. The building is proposed to be located five (5) feet east of the rear property line and approximately ten (10) feet from the water line which runs under Hunter Avenue. Staff supports the proposed use, which will not add a new or incompatible use to the area.
