Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-19-03-009 — TIM DELCAVO

Request: Variance in the R-1AA zoning district to allow a front setback of 11 ft. in lieu of 30 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff gave a presentation on the case covering the location of the property, the site plan, and photos of the site. The applicant noted that the corridor created by the front planes of the homes on the street will not be disturbed by the open air porte cochere with only two 18 inch columns. It will not impair the visual corridor or obscure the view. The applicant felt that the addition should be considered to be overhang. The BZA confirmed that no new driveway was being installed, and the intent is to cover part of the existing driveway. The BZA also noted that the driveway was there in the current configuration when the applicant purchased the house. The BZA felt that additional overhang would be in character with the area. Staff received 5 commentaries in favor of the application, and 3 in opposition to the application. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA approved the variance.
