...Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV09-010

APPLICANT: James J. Wolf; c/o Greg Lashutka, Attorney; 571 South Third Street; Columbus, OH 43206.

PROPOSED USE: To allow two existing single-family dwellings on one new lot in the R-2F, Residential District, and to construct a new garage.

GERMAN VILLAGE RECOMMENDATION: Approval

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests this Council variance to combine two lots, each developed with an existing single-family dwelling, and allow for the construction of a new garage. The R-2F, Residential District allows for attached two-family dwellings on one lot. Two single-family dwellings are not allowed on one lot in the R-2F which is why a Council variance is necessary. Staff finds that the applicant's proposal would cause no more impact than would an attached two-family dwelling on the lot, which is allowed. Furthermore, the removal of an existing property line is necessary so a new garage can be built which in turn would help alleviate parking problems in the area
