Explanation
Jeffrey J. Smith, owner of the property at 773 Dennison Avenue, is constructing a carriage house above a two-car garage at the rear of his property. Columbus City Council approved a zoning variance allowing the construction of this carriage house and legitimizing the existing single-family dwelling on this lot on October 16, 2006 (Ordinance 1275-2006). A portion of the footer, service door stoop and porch roof on the south side of the garage/carriage house will encroach approximately 2 feet into the north side of the Buttles Avenue right-of-way. Additionally, a portion of an existing second floor balcony on the main house structure encroaches approximately 2 feet into the Buttles Avenue right-of-way. Mr. Smith recently submitted a request asking that the City grant encroachment easements into the Buttles Avenue right-of-way to accommodate these encroachments. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon the granting of these encroachment easements.
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the granting of the requested encroachment easements.
