VA-17-08-076 — MICHAEL KONZE

Request: Variances in the R-1A zoning district as follows: 1) To construct a 750 sq. ft. accessory building (garage) in lieu of 500 sq. ft.; and 2) To allow the proposed accessory building (garage) in the front yard in lieu of rear or side yard.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant requested variances to construct a 750 sq. ft. accessory building (garage) in lieu of 500 sq. ft.; and, to allow the proposed accessory building (garage) in the front yard in lieu of rear or side yard. Staff gave a brief presentation on the case and requested a discussion between the BZA and the applicant regarding the placement of the garage. The applicant explained to the BZA that he has plans to add square footage to the existing home, and that, there is a septic field located on the west side of the residence which makes it difficult to place the garage on the west side of the property. The BZA agreed with the applicant. The applicant agreed with the staff report. Staff received one (1) commentary in favor and none in opposition. There being no one present to support or oppose the requests, the public hearing was closed. The BZA approved the variance with conditions.
