Board approves 2201 Glenmere Road addition variance; member abstained from discussion
Summary
The board approved a variance allowing a roughly 27-by-32-foot rear addition at 2201 Glenmere Road to encroach 3 feet 2 inches into the side‑yard long‑wall setback; one board member abstained from the discussion but participated in the vote.
The Upper Arlington Board of Zoning and Planning on Feb. 19 granted variance application 1025 for 2201 Glenmere Road to allow a one‑story rear addition to project up to 3 feet 2 inches into the side‑yard long‑wall setback.
Planning staff described the proposed family‑room addition as about 27 by 32 feet (a little less than 900 square feet), with a design that generally blends with the existing flat‑roofed, modern house. Staff explained the encroachment results from how the side‑yard long‑wall setback expands beyond 40 feet; the addition fills a notched area on the southwest side of the dwelling. Staff recommended approval under finding number 4.
Before the discussion the board noted that Mr. Boyer would abstain from participating as a board member on this item (he could remain available to answer questions). That abstention applied to participation in deliberations; on the final vote recorded verbally during the meeting Mr. Boyer said “Aye” along with other members and the motion carried. No members of the public spoke in opposition.
