VA-23-09-074 — Maxwell Case

Request: Variance in the R-CE zoning district to allow a generator with an east side setback of 5.75 ft. in lieu of 10 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: SYNOPSIS: Staff described the proposal, including the location of the property, the site plan, and photos of the site. Staff provided an analysis of the six (6) criteria and the reasons for a recommendation for denial. Staff noted that one (1) comment was received in support of the request, and one (1) comment was received in opposition to the request. The applicant noted the generator is in a different location than the original planned location due to it being too close to the home according an electrician. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA discussed the request determining the location of the generator is not intrusive due to the distance from the neighboring properties and the property is large is size, and unanimously recommended approval of the Variance by a 5-0 vote, with one absent and one seat vacant (D5), subject to the three (3) conditions in the staff report.
