Warren County board approves variance for Russell home addition
Summary
The Warren County Zoning Hearing Board on June 10 unanimously approved a variance allowing Russell homeowner Dylan Dubois to add about 429.33 square feet (roughly 22.6%) to a nonconforming dwelling at 1330 South Main St in Pine Grove Township; the board found the addition would not increase the existing setback nonconformity.
The Warren County Zoning Hearing Board unanimously approved a variance on June 10, 2026, allowing Russell resident Dylan Dubois to add approximately 429.33 square feet to his home at 1330 South Main St in Pine Grove Township.
Chair David Miller said the request falls under Article V, Section 501.4 and Section 503.1 of the Warren County Zoning Ordinance, which allow a one-time enlargement of a nonconforming structure not to exceed 25% of its floor or lot area as it existed when the ordinance took effect. Miller told the board the property is zoned R1, the parcel covers about 2.27 acres, and the current dwelling sits roughly 5 feet from the right-of-way where a 40-foot setback is required.
Zoning Officer Aubree Gonzales testified that most nearby homes are nonconforming, that the proposed addition would extend along the existing building line and would not increase the existing nonconformity, and that she had no objection to the request. Gonzales also confirmed that property owners within 300 feet had been notified, the hearing was advertised, and the property was posted; she said she had received calls but no one appeared to object.
Applicant Dylan Dubois explained his proposal to the board. Solicitor Timothy Bevevino said he had no issue with the request. Edwin W. Atwood moved to approve the variance; Donald C. Saporito, Sr. seconded. The motion carried unanimously; the board adjourned at 10:07 a.m.
The board approved the addition as described; permit approvals and any required building inspections remain a separate administrative process handled by county permitting staff.
