Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-011
APPLICANT: David Schlegel; c/o John A. Eberts, Architect; 3662 Karl Road; Columbus, OH 43224.
PROPOSED USE: Conform an existing three-family dwelling and a two-family dwelling on the same lot.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the R-3, Residential District and is developed with a three-family dwelling and a two-family dwelling. The applicant requests a Council variance to conform the existing development, including façade upgrades with porches for the dwelling units, a court yard, and the construction of two detached garages with surface parking. The R-3, Residential District allows only single-family dwellings on individual lots. Additional variances for the three-family dwelling not fronting on a public street and the existing driveway width are included in the request. A hardship exists in that the current site development is consistent with surrounding land uses within the neighborhood, but the non-conforming nature of the site precludes financing options and the ability to obtain building permits for the proposed construction.
