Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-00-02-010 — Daphne Clark

Request: Variance in R-2 zone to erect a single family residence 13 ft. from rear property line in lieu of 20 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The property is in the Golden Lake subdivision. The property has a reduced frontage due to a curvature in the road, making it one of the smallest lots in the subdivision. The applicant stated the model proposed is the smallest of several models for the subdivision. The amount of variance requested is negligible; it is angled at the back of the property ranging from 7 ft. on one end down to 4 ft. at the opposite end. Furthermore, the rear abuts a retention pond. Based on the above scenario, the BZA found that an unique circumstance existed to warrant a variance approval. There was no opposition to this request.
