Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-153
APPLICANT: Eric D. Martineau; 3006 North High Street, Suite 1A; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.
GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling in the R-2F, Residential District. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district does not allow two single-unit dwellings on one lot, while the applicant proposes to build a single-unit dwelling above a new detached garage (carriage house). Variances for lot width, lot area, fronting, side yards, rear yard, and a parking reduction from four required parking spaces to two spaces provided are also included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the German Village Historic District, which does not contain a Council adopted land use plan. Staff supports the proposed variances as the request is consistent with similar proposals in the neighborhood, and notes that the existing R-2F district permits two-unit dwellings. Additionally, Staff note that a Certificate of Appropriateness for final building design is required from the German Village Commission.
