Subject: Variance request received by Planning Division to waive street frontage

requirements



__________________________________________________________________________



On September 12, 2005, Mr. Harold Johnson submitted a variance request to waive

the minimum street frontage requirement for an individual parcel for the

purpose of subdividing an existing landlocked lot. The property is located at

8606 River Road. The applicant is proposing to subdivide an existing lot into

three residential estate lots. In doing so, the property owner will create

three landlocked lots, which would lack proper street frontage. (Proposed

replat ?Lots A, B and C). The property is currently zoned RE1 (Residential

Estate). This variance request to waive street frontage requirements is

allowed only by approval of City Council on a case-by-case basis.



Please find attached: 1) a replat displaying the proposed layout of the

property, and 2) a map illustrating the general location of the site. Planning

Division staff is currently reviewing the request. The applicant?s request

will be placed on the Columbus Council Agenda for Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at

9:00 am. A staff report will be sent to the Clerk of Council prior to the

council meeting date.
