Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV15-027
APPLICANT: Eric D. Martineau; 22 East Fourth Avenue, Suite 1A; Columbus, Ohio 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Rear single-unit dwelling above a detached garage (carriage house) on a lot developed with a single-unit dwelling.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will permit the construction of a single-unit dwelling above a garage (carriage house) of a lot developed with an existing single-unit dwelling. Other variances are included for required number of parking spaces, fronting on a public street, maximum and minimum side yards, and rear yard. A Council variance is necessary because the R-4, Residential District permits a maximum of four dwelling units in one building, but does not permit two residential buildings on one lot. Staff finds that the proposal will not add incompatible uses to 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.
