Plan Board approves record plan to reconfigure lots at 272–278 Linden Ave., with conditions

The City Plan Board on May 12 approved Case PLN2026-00110, a record plan to reconfigure four city lots into two at 272–278 Linden Ave. in the Burkhardt planning district, subject to a set of technical conditions.

Staff member Jen Hanauer presented the record plan and noted the existing building exceeds the 15‑foot maximum front setback in the T Transitional zoning district; because of that nonconformity the board required that a variance be granted to allow the proposed setbacks.

The board’s motion to approve the plan was made by Rosie Miller and seconded by Matt Sauer. The approval is conditional on several items, including revising the record plan and construction drawings to comply with the City of Dayton Subdivision Regulations and Division of Civil Engineering comments; ensuring dimensions approach a 1:10,000 ratio; adding any required easements (for utilities such as CenterPoint and Spectrum); dimensioning the nearby 16‑foot unnamed alleys; obtaining the surveyor’s signature prior to the city’s signature; adding a vicinity map; fading existing lot lines within the replated lots; adding a red line offset around the plat boundary; and granting a variance to allow the proposed setbacks.

Votes were recorded with five affirmative votes and two excused: Rosie Miller (yes), Matt Sauer (yes), Leslie Lovelace (yes), Ann Schenking (yes) and Greg Scott (yes); William Allen and Geraldine Pegues were excused for this item. There were no public comments on the record plan.

The conditions are intended to ensure the replatted parcels meet technical and utility requirements prior to issuance of building permits. The minutes note the plan is required for requested building permits and that the variance will address the existing front‑setback nonconformity.

The board approved the minutes for this meeting and later adjourned at 5:52 P.M.; the minutes were signed by Jennifer Hanauer, Secretary, City Plan Board.
