COUNCIL VARIANCE APPLICATION CV03-030
APPLICANT: William Mokris; 850 Moon Glow Court; Gahanna, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: To permit an existing two-family dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District.

Additional variances are requested to eliminate on-site maneuvering and to reduce minimum aisle width for existing parking spaces.
