Board approves garage and setback variances for 65 Daily Drive with conditions
Summary
VA-26-012 was approved to allow construction of a 1,080 sq ft detached garage at 65 Daily Drive that creates a slight overage in permitted accessory square footage and reduces a side setback along a historic parcel line; the board required permits within one year and a replat condition if future improvements occur.
The Pataskala City Board of Zoning Appeals on June 9 approved variance VA-26-012, allowing a proposed detached garage at 65 Daily Drive that will increase on-site accessory square footage and locate the new structure adjacent to a historic tract line. Staff said the proposal would raise total accessory square footage from the permitted 1,128 square feet to 1,224 square feet (an increase of about 96 square feet, roughly 8.5%) and would place the garage on a shared line between two historic tracts, effectively requesting a zero-foot side setback for that line.
Scott, planning staff, explained the property’s mixed parcel history (two tracts combined by deed) and said the applicant proposed a 1,080-square-foot detached garage set near the dividing line; staff recommended conditions including obtaining all required permits and combining the tracks by replat if further improvements are proposed.
Applicant Josh Gable, sworn to speak, said he was unaware the lot comprised two tracts and noted his need for vehicle and equipment storage. During discussion the board treated the setback request as substantial but agreed the square-footage overage (less than 10%) was not substantial; members voted to approve the variances and associated findings.
The approval is conditioned on the applicant obtaining necessary permits from the City of Pataskala within one year and on a requirement that if future improvements would fail to meet minimum requirements the tracks must be combined by replat. The motion passed on roll call; recorded yes votes included Mr. Dan, Mr. Roser, Mr. Cooper and Miss Pierce.
