Explanation
Council variance Application: CV15-003
APPLICANT: John and Barbara Eakins, c/o Amy K. Kuhn, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 145 East Rich Street, 3rd Floor; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-unit dwelling and to construct an additional single-unit dwelling (carriage house) on the same lot.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned ARLD, Apartment Residential District, and developed with a single-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will permit the development of an additional single-unit dwelling (carriage house) on the same lot. Other variances are included for lot width, building lines, minimum side yard, vision clearance, fronting on a public street, rear yard, and minimum number of parking spaces required. A Council variance is necessary because the ARLD, Apartment Residential District permits a three or four unit dwelling, but not two single-unit dwellings on one lot. Staff finds that the proposal is compatible with the area as there are other carriage houses within this community. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Victorian Village Commission requirements.
