Board approves side‑setback variance where lot constraints force house placement on New Carlisle Pike
Summary
A side‑setback variance reducing the required 25‑foot side setback to 10 feet was approved for Ryan Allen (applicant Rodz Builders) because the lot’s steep slope and required mound septic location constrained buildable area; Health Department site review and a driveway permit were reported as completed or in process.
The Clark County Board of Zoning Appeals on May 28 approved a variance to reduce the side setback from 25 feet to 10 feet for a house proposed at 7117 New Carlisle Pike (applicants Ryan Allen / Rodz Builders). Staff presented the 1.4‑acre A‑1 parcel, noted the site constraints including mound septic placement and a steep slope, and said the Health Department site review and driveway permit had been applied for or completed.
Applicant Jose Rodriguez testified the house location is constrained by the only viable area for a mound septic system and that moving the house would increase foundation costs; he said the lot and surrounding properties were family owned and would be maintained as yard. Board members agreed the physical constraints justified the side‑setback reduction and approved the variance (motion by Tom Duffee; seconded by Gerald Shaw). The vote was unanimous in favor.
Staff will complete permit coordination and document the approved setback as part of the property’s permit record.
