Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-16-08-097 — JAN PACHLOPNIK

Request: Variances in the R-1AA zoning district as follows: 1) To validate an existing attached enclosed garage located five (5) ft. from the side (west) property line in lieu of 7.5 ft.; and, 2) To validate existing attached enclosed garage 23 ft. from the front (south) property line in lieu of 30 ft. (Note: This application is the result of code enforcement action. The garage was previously an attached open carport which was enclosed without permits. According to historic aerials, the carport has been in existence since at least 1971. The County acquired the south 10 ft. of the original lot for the widening of Corrine Dr. causing the front setback issue. The lot size, lot width and existing home are grandfathered).

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The Board discussed the past expansion/widening of Corrine Drive, which caused homes along this road to be non-conforming. There were no commentaries in favor or in opposition to this request. There was no opposition at the meeting. The Board found the request to be reasonable and made a motion to recommend approval.
