Board OKs lot-split frontage variance so farmer’s daughter can build
Summary
The board approved a variance letting the residue lot from a split have 125 feet of frontage (instead of the required 150) on Old Columbus Road so the applicant’s daughter may build; the approval was unanimous.
Case BZA-2026-05, a lot-split frontage variance for PID#130-08-00030-100-006 on Old Columbus Road in Harmony Township, was approved by the board.
Staff said the 52.17-acre parcel had flood plain that did not affect the lot-split area and that the proposed split produced a parcel meeting the required width-to-depth ratio though the residue lot would have 125 feet of frontage rather than the code-required 150 feet (Chapter 2, Section 201). Randy Powell, sworn in for the application, said the split is for his daughter to build a home and eventually take over the farm.
The public hearing closed with no opposition. Board members noted the characteristics of the neighborhood and the prior temporary approval; Ms. Parcels said she did not regard a 25-foot difference as significant. The board voted unanimously to approve the frontage variance as presented.
