Explanation
CV97-006
APPLICANT: Rossiter J. Chappelear, 1664 North 4th Street, Columbus, Ohio 43201.
PROPOSED USE: A 1,008 square foot storage building.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. This 39 by 150 foot residential lot is developed with a single-family two-story residence and proposed to be improved with a detached 28 by 36 foot storage building intended for antique vehicle storage by a property owner who lives off-site. The applicant who resides at 1664 North 4th Street, two lots north of the subject lot, constructed a 35 by 39 foot building with an oversized garage door in 1982; this existing garage exceeds current zoning code provisions for garage lot coverage and height limit and is being used to store his antique vehicle collection. While a residential storage building typically contains less than 169 square feet and does not require a building permit, the applicant's proposed building would be 1,008 square feet and with a 10 foot high door. It would also be in excess of the typical 720 square foot garage found in residential neighborhoods. No hardship exists to establish an off-site storage building unrelated to the principle residence for non-accessory purposes in this residential block.
