Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-005
APPLICANT: David A. Efaw and Laura K. Efaw; 2655 Sherwood Road; Columbus, OH 43209.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with two single-unit dwellings in the R-2, Residential District.
