Board approves 15-foot rear-yard encroachment for Oak Park home at 6999 Primrose Court
Summary
The Dublin Board granted a nonuse-area variance allowing a deck/patio to encroach 15 feet into the 25-foot rear-yard setback for a property in the Oak Park PUD (subarea A). Staff cited prior similar approvals and the lot layout as justification.
The Dublin Board of Zoning Appeals approved a request to allow a rear‑yard deck or patio to encroach 15 feet into the 25‑foot rear setback at 6999 Primrose Court, in the Oak Park planned unit development.
Planning staff explained the site is a perimeter lot that backs to an open-space reserve and that prior, similar variances have been approved there. "We do believe that there are special conditions applicable to the site," staff said, citing the side‑loaded three‑car garage that pushes the home back and the existing open‑space reserve. Staff recommended approval and noted the structure would not intrude into the 10‑foot easement at the rear of the lot.
Applicant Srin Waslochapidi said the house sits back because of the three‑car garage and that he cannot build the deck without the variance. After deliberation—during which members acknowledged the recurrence of similar approvals but accepted the site constraints—the board moved, seconded and voted to approve the variance. "Variance is approved," the chair announced following the roll call.
