Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-17-02-195 — AYMEE FUENTES

Request: Variances in the P-D zoning district to allow pool deck and enclosure to remain 0 ft. from the side (both north and south sides) property lines in lieu of five (5) ft. (Note: The pool and deck were already in place when the applicant purchased the home. A contractor installed the screen enclosure without benefit of obtaining permits. This is the result of code enforcement. The two most impacted neighbors (north & south) have submitted letters of support.)

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant purchased the home with the pool. She added the deck pavers and pool screen without permits. She was cited by the Code Enforcement Division. The screen enclosure was placed inside the side setbacks on the north and south sides of the property. Staff advised the BZA that both affected neighbors submitted letters in support. In addition, 25 ft. of the rear yard has an utility easement on it which prohibits any construction within it. Staff advised the BZA that since the neighbors on both sides support the request and the homeowners association supports the request, staff too recommends approval. The BZA concurred. There was no opposition.
