The project involves a two-story addition to the primary house structure and the demolition of an existing three-car garage to construct a new two-story detached garage with habitable space above it. A Council variance was requested to permit habitable space above a detached garage, which typically requires a direct connection to the main dwelling. Additionally, variances were sought to reduce the minimum side yards: from 5 feet to 4.3 feet on the west side and from 5 feet to 4.2 feet on the east side for the main structure. For the detached garage, variances were also approved to reduce its west side yard from 3 feet to 1.2 feet and its east side yard from 3 feet to 2 feet, and to allow a proposed height of 26 feet where 15 feet is the maximum. The 0.16-acre property is zoned R-2F Residential. The German Village Commission and City Departments recommended approval, noting consistency with the neighborhood's development pattern and stating it would not introduce an incompatible use. The total proposed living area for the primary residence, including the addition, is 4,210 SF, and the proposed detached garage area is 935 SF.
