Staff explained the board’s operating rules require a majority vote to alter, amend, rescind or supplement a rule and that amendments should ordinarily be submitted in writing at a regular meeting and placed on the next regular meeting’s agenda. The board chose to suspend that written-rule requirement by motion and then voted to move the start time to 6 p.m. by voice vote; the chair announced \"Motion carries 4 0.\"

A brief, lighthearted exchange occurred when a board member suggested the start-time change include a provision for drinks and snacks; that suggestion received a second in the room but does not appear in the adopted rule. The board asked whether there were agenda items for the next month and then adjourned.

The change takes effect starting with the board’s July meeting, per the board’s vote. Members who voted in favor were recorded as Steele, McGee, Antle and Barfield.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Zoning Appeals - Jun 26 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Following the city council and planning commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals voted to change its regular start time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m., effective with the July meeting; the board suspended its rule requiring written proposals and approved the change by voice vote 4-0.","taxTitle","Hilliard, Franklin County, Ohio","taxId",52752,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6185130,"Variance granted for small screen-porch encroachment on Coolbrook Drive lot",244,2132000,2376000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f&start=2132&end=2376","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f/thumbnail_2132000.jpg","/articles/6185130/Hilliard/Franklin-County/Ohio/Variance-granted-for-small-screen-porch-encroachment-on-Coolbrook-Drive-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185130-416ac7fd7fda9b7bf31c38825e4034b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1776487905&Signature=ZfAo00VWP3xkYjF4sLfeHrN68~aEHdbOw3XuVXxtYdiWCysswAuDzCF2s3YD0ecTYfscawWz5e-9z1Lp7qhn0kEExWuiRDmtCOqUQnatyOpFfCkWXzOoelzCICIXau51-s7jkqgH7REvOGQa9cGVqC5L5s35blxlTv9Do34ClK2m5QLh3pI03u9LRJn0HMlTK8XpdGksWbaBCo0G4TBRN243mklUMUcJibVVOz9fObksEv3PwdleU3HPIvwYPNYSfhoP2FCHMGB6BT5gnMD8KsQBJrAnFayVim17nRdRgLfdJL~SBerf6vs6ka~vYbH43ul4Tea0e7K4P3fZkc2CiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to reduce a front-yard build line from 25 feet to 20.5 feet, allowing a screen porch that projects about 4.5 feet into the platted build line at 4579 Coolbrook Drive, subject to two conditions.

Staff explained the lot’s unusual shape — caused by the curve of Cutwater Lane — leaves the rear and corner yards narrower and that the proposed screened porch would encroach approximately 4.5 feet beyond the 25-foot platted build line but remain outside a utility easement. Staff found the variance would not substantially alter neighborhood character and recommended approval with two conditions.

The board moved and seconded approval of case BZA 2522, and the motion carried 4-0 with the usual board members recorded as voting yes. Staff noted the encroachment was minimal and largely not visible from the street; the approval covers this specific screened-porch design and does not authorize other alterations without further review.

The variance applies only to the specific reduction to 20.5 feet for the proposed screen porch; any future changes in the porch design or site that affect setbacks would require additional review or permitting.","The board approved a variance to reduce a required front-yard build line from 25 feet to 20.5 feet to allow a 4.5-foot encroachment for a screen porch at 4579 Coolbrook Drive, with two conditions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6185135,"Board approves variance to raise garage height and footprint at Hillcrest Street South",364,1854000,2218000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f&start=1854&end=2218","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f/thumbnail_1854000.jpg","/articles/6185135/Hilliard/Franklin-County/Ohio/Board-approves-variance-to-raise-garage-height-and-footprint-at-Hillcrest-Street-South","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185135-33d9bf8bd0af02f61feff52636c6783e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776487905&Signature=NxCxhKC2b6bwIN3qUaz-E25uoLdgOcgYp0uiwci-49cQ2nPjUl28vRWa62b8JuDzWYfAUmFgIV-M6UpGhqkCSLRIL0KpClKt0q3MdBVev5zPiaYqtdXDuFTH2SF1R1ZYaKFvjRKFjj0FeZGdtFaUXbR2m612U~XE8JV5w3UiZXWwY0IgBtTTRJ~innV6r0yh5tuwiHsqQFY6JhAdqLnzl3Hhmaikl18jQmnO-45vXJDTcpBGt6DsmkpDc3R-BwiJIHrh8dABIb8M3H4PnVfgTzHZbu5~8BN6AXuRzuC06aptleqKIbx-tNA7bALohKbxTV-tbS2dbcJI8r2S~YPttw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hilliard Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing a detached garage at 4707 Hillcrest Street South to exceed the code’s height and floor-area limits, increasing height from 14 feet to 17.5 feet and floor area from 537 to 816 square feet, with three staff-recommended conditions.

Staff told the board the code allows a 14-foot maximum height and 537 square-foot maximum floor area for detached garages; the applicant proposes a 17.5-foot-high, 816-square-foot garage, largely using an existing foundation. Staff said many nearby garages are larger and that the lots in older subdivisions are smaller, making variances more common. Based on staff findings that the variance was not substantial and was consistent with the spirit of the code, staff recommended approval with three conditions.

Applicant Chris Minor told the board the proposal does not increase the existing footprint and that a previous permit may have been approved in error; the new request seeks to rebuild on the existing foundation and bring the structure into compliance with the variance on height and area. A board member moved to approve case BZA 2521 with the three conditions; the motion passed 4-0 with Steele, McGee, Antle and Barfield recorded as voting yes.

The approval applies to the garage dimensions and the three conditions; any future change would require compliance with applicable Hilliard Code sections and possibly return to the board.","A property owner received approval to rebuild a detached garage at 4707 Hillcrest Street South with increased height (from 14 to 17.5 feet) and floor area (from 537 to 816 square feet) subject to three conditions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6185140,"Variance approved for 486 sq ft addition at Tortilla Park amid property-line discrepancy",466,1499000,1965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f&start=1499&end=1965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f/thumbnail_1499000.jpg","/articles/6185140/Hilliard/Franklin-County/Ohio/Variance-approved-for-486-sq-ft-addition-at-Tortilla-Park-amid-property-line-discrepancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185140-2d515671dcdb7691a8cc56132f5651ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1776487905&Signature=BpsJoSHE7kQ5JYXCSyT3yZY-BMEJmwhJj3QXh991EkLWNxXSijADkSsG~SY0t1zsJp8rZ03SaL9106bN9vP67n4V60mzOSFrTxTjt1j14cVLFNQVaX0dvHmUJnH2XTAUJOL3bmh0Vb7qbV8JkqWXadQ9vxxpTygqQTcsMo23HjheZ2mjJE091tiC0Zvxgr3HLeYW2UbaRv1EvAKC1d5PDn5A2rMvxfKQf2flp-f0bSQjQ~kQOeG33xM8bvOTNMFzlm2ZOLvYNSpKW0KUpILsWU9FD~RMCb6D4sdST621jWbA3P2TZP12RX5UJ-Ae3hzCkiAMTvlVcK3CSG57smYJew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to reduce a minimum rear-yard setback from 12 feet to 0 feet to allow construction of a 486-square-foot addition at the Tortilla Park property, 4057 Grant Street, while noting a discrepancy between an ALTA survey and Franklin County records.

City staff described the site as three parcels totaling about 0.88 acres and said the proposed addition is located in what one survey shows as directly on the property line. Staff recommended approval, finding the variance \"is not substantial,\" would not change neighborhood character, and that the owner’s predicament could not reasonably be obviated by other means.

Staff and the board discussed a discrepancy between the ALTA survey — which places the property line up against the building — and Franklin County/GIS records that show a roughly 12-foot spacing consistent with an alley or right-of-way. Staff said county records appear to lack historical data for this parcel and that the variance is intended to cover a \"worst case\" where the surveyor’s line places the addition at the property edge. The approval included three staff-recommended conditions, and the board voted 4-0 to grant the variance.

An applicant representative, Megan Williams, told the board the irregular line appears to be a single jog in a long property line that otherwise runs consistently for miles; staff said historical records are incomplete and referenced an historic fire as part of the search for records. One board member moved to approve case BZA 2520 including the three staff conditions; the motion passed on a recorded vote of Steele, McGee, Antle and Barfield voting yes.

The board’s approval covers the addition subject to the conditions and does not change the underlying property-line legal record; staff said if a later determination establishes a different property line the applicant would have to return to the board to adjust permissible coverage.","The board approved a variance reducing a rear-yard setback from 12 feet to 0 feet for a 486-square-foot addition at 4057 Grant Street because of conflicting historical records; three conditions were imposed.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6185145,"Board approves front-porch variance for Barrons residence on Paxton Drive",155,1295000,1450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f&start=1295&end=1450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5083396-9e5172a513ab91c404a0a05244d8464f/thumbnail_1295000.jpg","/articles/6185145/Hilliard/Franklin-County/Ohio/Board-approves-front-porch-variance-for-Barrons-residence-on-Paxton-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185145-719fb2d9ca4db2ba68533b676c3c9762/orig.mp4?Expires=1776487905&Signature=CceegEx~ytqEre2Sc7FbL~75SGWZELudvXC71oLJT3275Mhe4ng4atiaM1hLuv~koZu2eDu38UCAy73ha7vmH3MQ~cnakBYMn22NDEx~G~ppwwrw8p7acNaTHVFkRE8mHtvimTGKHUY9fKqx6DXDgiZaWeAJ4zek01weTkYDXg5exgvKM9SbVOSAbfOACU-VNwCIpWGYgQBjF88b4Cu6rsv7CjoMKvEUHEvObeinMAtpIz5ZEZM4u61eeEFIJZzKNNFhyEBNLWRkfhLUobIRUIf2sEJz4lLqTNIbk2jzydkwPI2rgyrdyW09-bt8cNyV6GeKRmQgLsJKgzToL0lFMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hilliard Board of Zoning Appeals voted to approve a variance to allow a covered (open) front porch at 3583 Paxton Drive that would reduce the building setback from 30 feet to 25 feet, subject to two staff-recommended conditions.

Staff said the requested variance \"is not substantial and it will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood,\" and recommended approval with two conditions.

The applicant’s proposed porch, described as a covered rather than enclosed addition, would be close to the required setback because of the existing house location on an older approved plat. Board members moved and seconded approval of case BZA 2517 with the two conditions listed in the staff report. The roll-call vote recorded yes votes from the members present and the chair announced \"Motion carries 4 0.\"

Staff presented the case and told the board it \"finds the variance does not adversely impact the delivery of government services, such as trash collection and maintains current conditions,\" and recommended approval with two conditions because relocating the receptacle \"may place an undue burden upon the landowner.\" The board voted 4-0 to approve the request.

Staff said alternative means — such as relocating the receptacle elsewhere on the property — would obviate the need for a variance but could impose an undue burden on the church. The motion approved by the board required the trash enclosure be opaque and added that if the parking lot or building expands in the future, the receptacles and enclosures must be relocated to meet prior provisions of the Hilliard Code.

A board member asked whether the church could keep the dumpster in its current location if the variance were not approved; staff replied that the receptacle would have to be moved to comply with enclosure requirements. After the staff presentation a board member moved to approve the variance with the two staff conditions and another board member seconded the motion. The roll-call vote recorded members Steele, Barfield (vice president), Antle and McGee voting yes. The chair announced \"Motion carried 4 0.\"

The approval is limited to the conditions adopted by the board; any further changes to the site that would affect compliance with Hilliard Code provisions will require the church to return to the board or otherwise meet code requirements.","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance for Oasis of Peace Community Church to keep an existing trash receptacle in place, imposing two conditions including an opaque enclosure and relocation requirements if the property expands.","actionData","errors"]
