0:57

A couple matters on the agenda.

0:58

We'll get in and address those initially, and then we'll handle uh minutes and some other business matters that we would need to attend to.

1:04

The first one that we have scheduled this evening is BZA 2026-004.

1:10

Devin Jackson at 592 Amber Lee Drive in Green, here in the city of Green, where the appellant, Mr.

1:17

Jackson at that address, is requesting a five-foot right setback variance to permit a residential addition to be constructed, which would leave five feet on the right side setback.

1:27

There is a 10-foot setback requirement, and so this does not comply with Green Codified Ordinance Table 157.101-1 of the residential site development standards.

1:37

Specifically stated, the variance request is a five-foot right side setback variance to permit a residential addition to be constructed, which would leave a five-foot side setback where ten foot is required.

1:48

And who is here on that matter?

1:49

All right, sir, would welcome you forward.

1:52

Got a podium there with a mic, got a handheld mic.

1:55

Both are active.

1:57

If you have documents that you'd like to share, you can place those on right on top of that.

2:02

That pink X there, if you will, and it'll be grabbed by the overhead camera.

2:05

But we also have your materials that you submitted, so thank you very much.

2:08

Let's start this way.

2:09

What's your name, sir?

2:10

Uh Devin Jackson.

2:11

Okay, Mr.

2:12

Jackson, you raise your right hand for me.

2:13

Swear or affirm to tell the truth and hold and nothing but the truth in this matter before the board.

2:17

Yes, sir.

2:18

Okay, welcome.

2:19

Uh what we'd look for is just the nature of the project.

2:21

You're requesting a variance because of the side setback and the addition.

2:25

We understand it's a garage.

2:26

Correct.

2:27

Um, just uh what the hardship is, how you're unable to comply with the code or what you're looking to do with the project.

2:33

Yeah, absolutely.

Summary of Proceedings

Green Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting – March 19, 2026

The Board of Zoning Appeals of Green, Ohio, held a regular meeting on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 6:00 PM in Council Chambers. The board heard two variance requests and approved the minutes from the prior meeting. Both variances were approved unanimously (4-0).

Public Comments & Testimony

No members of the public testified on either agenda item. The board invited audience participation for the second variance; none was offered.

Discussion Items

BZA2026-0004 – Devin Jackson, 592 Amberley Dr.: The appellant requested a 5-foot right side setback variance (10 feet required) to allow construction of a two-car garage with an 18-foot wide door and a man door. Mr. Jackson stated the existing garage was improperly framed with 7.5-foot openings, and the new garage needed to shift to avoid a gas fireplace. He provided a neighbor’s signed support letter. Board members questioned the garage width (26 feet overall) and material matching. The variance was supported as submitted.
BZA2026-0005 – Four Points Architectural (Jim Presutto), 3929 S. Main St.: The appellant requested three setback variances for a new driveway on Magua Dr. at S. Main St.: 18 feet on the east side, 27 feet at the curve, and 24 feet on the north side (50 feet required). The driveway serves five new self-storage buildings. Mr. Presutto explained severe grade changes required the driveway location, 10 feet from a previous curb cut, with landscaping screening and a 6-foot fence. The board noted that an appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission’s conditional approval of the overall project is scheduled for April 16, 2026, but considered the variance request separately. Board members asked about alternative driveway locations and emergency vehicle access. The variances were approved as submitted.
