Summary of the decision
VA-19-05-026 — ROBERT LANIER
Request: Variance in the P-D zoning district to allow a generator 4.4 ft. from the side property line in lieu of 10 ft.
Decision: Approved
Hearing: Staff gave a presentation on the case covering the location of the property, the site plan, and photos of the site. The applicant stated that they lost power due to storms in 2004 and 2017. The applicant further stated that they were looking for the least intrusive location, and that the generator needed to be close to the house to accommodate the underground gas line, and could not be placed further away in the back yard, as this would degrade the efficiency of the unit. The BZA confirmed that no similar variances were granted in the area, and also confirmed that the most efficient location for the unit was next to the electric box. Staff received no commentaries in favor of the application, and 1 in opposition to the application. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA approved the variance.
