Board approves exterior changes, new steps at 1447 Jackson Drive under certificate of appropriateness
Summary
The Reynoldsburg Planning and Zoning Board approved a certificate of appropriateness for exterior siding replacement and reconstructed concrete steps with a black metal railing at 1447 Jackson Drive after the applicant said an insurer required the work to obtain coverage.
The Reynoldsburg Planning and Zoning Board approved a certificate of appropriateness for exterior modifications at 1447 Jackson Drive, permitting replacement of the front and two side elevations with matching white vinyl siding, reconstruction and reconfiguration of concrete steps and the installation of a black metal railing.
Planning staff presented the application and said the parcel is in the Old Reynoldsburg Neighborhood District (ORDN) and that the proposed siding and steps meet the exterior-modification requirements in the zoning code. Staff recommended approval under the Old Reynoldsburg design guidelines and the applicable review criteria.
The applicant, David Menchus, told the board that his insurer required the siding and step repairs as a condition of coverage. “They may only be insured going forward if the siding is replaced and those concrete steps are replaced,” Menchus said, adding the insurer deemed the existing steps a liability for safety even though they were not in regular use. Menchus described the proposed steps as being turned to tie back into the city sidewalk and said he had discussed the adjustment with city staff.
A board member moved to accept the certificate of appropriateness as submitted; the motion was seconded. The board then conducted a roll call that recorded unanimous “yes” votes from the members present (Ms. Ward, Ms. Allaby, Ms. Cleckley, Mr. Benner, Ms. Barnhart and Mr. First), and the chair announced approval.
