Summary
The Huber Heights Board of Zoning Appeals on May 7 approved a variance allowing an accessory building at 6390 Charlotte Court to be located 2 feet from the south property line, reducing the required setback from 5 feet. City staff recommended approval and no adjacent objections were recorded; the vote was 5-0.
The Huber Heights Board of Zoning Appeals on May 7 approved a variance that allows an accessory building at 6390 Charlotte Court to be placed 2 feet from the south property line, instead of the 5-foot setback required by the city zoning code.
City staff, represented by Don (staff member), told the board that "City staff has no objection to the granting of this variance." Don said the lot is about 0.28 acres, the accessory building would be placed south of the house in the rear yard, and that engineering had no concerns. Staff also reported that adjacent properties were notified and that no objections were received.
Board members reviewed the five statutory variance criteria and recorded findings on the record. After discussion the board voted to approve the variance by a 5-0 tally.
The approved variance reduces the south-side setback for the accessory structure from 5 feet to 2 feet as requested by the applicant, David Price. The staff report noted there were no city utilities involved in the variance request and that recent construction meant an aerial map with reference points was not available. The board recorded that granting the variance would observe the spirit and intent of the zoning requirement in this case.
Procedural matters earlier in the meeting included approval of minutes and the agenda; the board swore in witnesses before taking testimony. The board closed the case after voting and the secretary confirmed the 5-0 approval.
No appeal deadlines or conditions beyond the recorded motion were specified in the hearing record.
