Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-042
APPLICANT: Todd Hinze; 4892 Galway Drive; Dublin, OH 43017.
PROPOSED USE: A carriage house on a lot developed with a two-unit dwelling.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District, and developed with a two-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance will permit the addition of a carriage house dwelling, while legitimizing the existing two-unit dwelling as building permit records indicate the current use as a single-unit dwelling on the site. The variance is necessary because the ARLD, Apartment Residential District prohibits one two-unit dwelling and one single-unit dwelling on the same lot. Variances for lot width, lot area, lot coverage, fronting, side yards, and rear yard are included in the request. Staff supports the proposal because the request will not add incompatible uses to the area as there are other carriage houses within this neighborhood. The request is consistent with the recent development pattern in historic urban neighborhoods, and building design will conform to the Victorian Village Commission requirements.
