VA-99-07-007 — Linda S. Chadwick

Request: For Variance in R-1A zone to construct swimming pool 15 ft. and screen enclosure 12 ft. from normal high water elevation of Lake Fairview in lieu of 30 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The property is in the Wentrop Shores subdivision on the shores of Lake Fairview. A sea wall is located at the back of the lot, which is also the location of the normal high water elevation. The applicant wants to build a swimming pool 15 ft. from the normal high. The pool would be enclosed with screening that would be 12 ft. from the normal high. The applicant stated this is for her mother, who lives with her and has osteoporosis. Swimming is the only exercise she can handle; a physician's letter was submitted documenting the mother's situation. Two commentaries were submitted in favor and one in opposition. The applicant agreed to execute an indemnification agreement.
