Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-03-03-025 — Kurt & Debra Liebknecht

Request: Variances in A-1 (agricultural) zone to construct a detached accessory building (storage for vehicles, equipment, personal belongings) as follows: 1. 28 ft. in height in lieu of 15 ft.; 2. 2 stories in lieu of one-story; 3. 2,700 sq. ft. in lieu of 2,000 sq. ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant wants to construct a 2600 sq. ft. detached accessory building to store a motorhome and household equipment. Staff concluded an increased building setback should apply due to the size of the structure. The applicant presented photographs that showed existing trees between the proposed accessory building and the western property line. The BZA concluded the existing vegetation alleviated any privacy impacts. The neighbor to the west had no objection to the request. There was no opposition.
