The applicant, Tim Sizemore, requested relief from zoning rules that otherwise limit accessory buildings to rear yards and minimum setbacks. City staff described the proposal as a detached garage with a covered breezeway connecting to an attached garage; materials and roof will match the house. Planning staff advised the parcel is approximately 0.33 acres, there are no city utilities involved, and engineering raised no concerns.

The staff report cited \"Section 11 90 one-one of the zoning code\" as the provision governing accessory building location and noted the structure as proposed would require a full variance under that section. Staff said adjacent property owners were notified and the city had received no objections as of the meeting. A resident who said she had spoken with the neighborhood homeowners association president told the board the HOA had no concerns about the proposed garage.

Tim Sizemore spoke at the podium and confirmed his name for the record. He told the board the additional garage was for storage and an additional vehicle.

Board member Burrows moved to approve the variance (BZA case 25-06). The motion passed, and the board announced the variance was approved by a 3-1 vote. Staff told the applicant to check with the city office about any additional steps required before construction.

The decision authorizes the detached garage as presented; the board record does not indicate additional conditions beyond the usual permitting and building inspections.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Huber Heights - Board of Zoning Appeals","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing construction of a detached garage with a breezeway at 6838 Evergreen Circle, finding no adjacency objections and staff recommending approval.","taxTitle","Huber Heights, Montgomery County, Ohio","taxId",55050,"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},6453998,"BZA approves carport variance for corner lot at 6700 Dow Drive",444,2901000,3345000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5873523-ce13dd7d48eb6c787e4af2ba11a654e2&start=2901&end=3345","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5873523-ce13dd7d48eb6c787e4af2ba11a654e2/thumbnail_2901000.jpg","/articles/6453998/Huber-Heights/Montgomery-County/Ohio/BZA-approves-carport-variance-for-corner-lot-at-6700-Dow-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6453998-1675d038cf8dad77ffcadb1505ab4cba/orig.mp4?Expires=1773641130&Signature=bfZfBCdT3ZrXxrtTbPb8BCkHW7oMo5cqP0GrN57nuJpPPgj7lefKX-EuQN1DIMeT4tJpCeHmBhacSEY8~KQ~Ykr9jploVXsqldi4ER4fzZsTfc1IiwuFKmtkQrfzmDkpt7fRVHndLsXh0SLnhTOuVJawabUBXlHUQtl0c45IF5rSPKjQNRhIgMm-iU2GxCUsutUxxM-QDIBu4BrH4Sma1v1Wnua1BqNXoSQYycRAtMsV6taFChQycCzFJAXPaBqlxcr743ui1hJq0hoxeNN6~npCSRQUm1tpFEoradxd9NjWb7ngsPXZSa5CRIee9SXyxjCBBzfft~D~6a0CLDTU7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing construction of a carport at a corner lot for property listed as 6700 Dow Drive.

Staff said the property is zoned R-4 for single-family residential and described the proposed carport as 22.5 feet long and 14 feet wide. The applicant told the board the carport will sit inside an existing privacy fence and about 13 feet behind the Locust View Drive sidewalk; staff noted corner lots have two frontages and described how front/setback rules apply to a secondary frontage.

Staff reported the parcel is approximately 0.25 acres, that adjacent property owners were notified and the city received no objections, and that the engineering department had no concerns. Dan Chapman, the applicant, told the board the structure would act similarly to a covered patio with decorative posts and would help shade the side of the house.

A motion to approve (BZA case 25-08) passed on a roll call; the secretary recorded yeas and the board approved the variance.

City staff said Ryan Homes requested variance relief after a foundation survey found the house’s foundation encroached into the required separation by \"10 and a quarter inches,\" leaving roughly 4 feet, 1 3/4 inches on one side instead of the five-foot minimum the development plan calls for. Staff explained the property sits in a planned-unit development (PUD) where the minimum combined separation between houses is 10 feet; the deviation occurred at foundation placement and was discovered during inspection procedures.

Brian Hockett, a Ryan Homes representative, apologized to the board and described a new process the builder will use: immediate foundation surveying and submission of a sealed foundation certificate to the city to prevent future placement errors. Hockett said the company would inform buyers of the variance and provide required as-built documentation at closing.

Multiple residents objected. Cindy Schwartz, who said she lives in Carriage Trails and in a Ryan-built house, raised fire-safety and privacy concerns and asked whether the side wall materials are fire-rated. She said smaller separations interfere with trash-can placement and backyard privacy. She also described construction and warranty problems she said she and other Ryan homeowners have faced. \"A little over 10 inches doesn't seem like much, but when you only have 6 inches as is, that is a lot,\" Schwartz said. \"If this was a builder who put their customers first ... I am against the approval.\"

Sheena Mays, another Carriage Trails resident, also said the variance would effectively reward \"careless building practices\" and urged the board not to approve it.

Board members debated options including conditioning approval on written buyer acceptance and documentation that construction meets fire-code requirements for reduced separations. One board member moved to table the case (BZA case 25-07) until the November 12 meeting so the builder could provide written verification that a buyer knows and accepts the variance and proof that the affected wall assemblies meet any construction or fire-safety requirements for reduced separation. The motion to table was seconded and carried; the secretary called a roll with multiple yeas and the clerk stated the case would be tabled until November 12.","The Board of Zoning Appeals tabled a variance request for 3505 Arrowwood Street in the Carriage Trails subdivision to allow time for written buyer acceptance and verification of fire-safety construction requirements after residents described repeated workmanship problems and safety risks.","actionData","errors"]
