18-19j. HendersonlLaurelwood Accessory Building (V-148-02; V-149-02)
Petitioner seeks Development Standards Variances of Sections 25.1. 1 (A)(2) and 25.9: Drainage in order to
establish an accessory building on a parcel without a principal building and to fill within the floodplain of
Spring Mill Run creek.
The site is located at 10211 Ditch Road. The site is zoned S-l/Residence - Very Low Density.
The petitioner is requesting approval to establish an accessory building on a parcel without a principal
building. The accessory building will be located on fill within the Spring Mill Run creek floodway.
The Department is recommending favorable consideration anile request to locate the accessory building on
the parcel (Docket No. V-148-02) due to the size of the parcel (approximate Iv 9.6 acres) and the area available to set
the structure back fi:om the right-of.wav.
The Department is recOlmnending negative consideration of the request to place the structure within the
floodwav of Spring Mill Run (Docket No. Y-149-02). The petitioner's rationale for placing the structure is to
obscure the view from the residence of a lift station also located on the subiect property. However, bv moving the
structure northwest along the same sight line, the same effect can be achieved. Furthermore, if for some reason the
petitioner does not believe that farther northwest along the sight line outside the floodwav is the most apptomiate
location for the structure, visual screening of the lift station can be accomplished using landscape materials.
At the Wednesday, August 20. 2002. TAC meeting, the Urban Forester. the Department of Conullunitv
Services. the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office. and the Hamilton County Soil & Water Conservation District all
recommended against locating the structure within the floodwav.
The Department recommends favorable consideration of Docket No. Y.148-02. with the Conditions that
the accessory building be located outside the floodwav of Spring Mill Run and that a revised site olan be submitted.
The Deoartmel1t recommends negative consideration of Docket No. V-149'-OZ.
