The Columbia Township Board of Zoning Appeals will meet on Monday, January 26, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. to hear Case 2026-1.  The public hearing will be at the Columbia Town Hall, 25496 Royalton Road, Columbia Station, Ohio 44028.

Case 2026-1:  Jeremy Schaefer, agent for RAII Black Rocky OH LLC, is requesting a 127.36 ft. road frontage variance for Permanent Parcel No. 12-00-073-000-061 for the purpose of building one home on the parcel. This represents a 68 percent variance.  This parcel is zoned R3 Residential, contains 52.54 acres, and has 72.64 ft. of road frontage on Akins Road. Table 8.03A of the Columbia Township Zoning Resolution requires lots zoned R3 Residential to have 200 ft. of road frontage.  RAII Black Rocky OH LLC would like Mr. Schaefer to obtain a variance prior to going to auction with Permanent Parcel No. 12-00-073-000-061 on January 27, 2026.  RAII Black Rocky OH LLC wants to legally advertise that this parcel does have the option of building one home even with the limited road frontage. 

The application will be available for review from Monday, January 12, 2026, through Monday, January 26, 2026 in the Columbia Township Zoning Office.  The Zoning Office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please direct questions to Zoning Inspector Rick Lanzo at 440-236-8802, ext. 1.
