Summary of the decision

VA-99-11-009 — Steve May

Request: Variance in R-1 zone to allow 1,500 sq. ft. accessory building to remain in lieu of 500 sq. ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The variance was filed as a result of a violation issued by the Code Enforcement Division. The applicant stated the building is used as a storage and work area for his son's automobile racing hobby. He agreed to obtain the appropriate permits if the BZA approved the variance. There was no opposition to this request. Several neighbors wrote stating they didn't have a problem with the building because it couldn't be seen. Staff confirmed that the building is located in back of the house, and the property is heavily treed, making it "invisible" to neighboring properties.
