Summary of the decision
VA-04-05-159 — Janet Bowers
Request: Variances in A-2 (agricultural) zone to construct detached accessory building (barn for applicant's horses) 35 ft. in height in lieu of 15 ft.
Decision: Approved
Hearing: The applicant wants to construct a 2 story detached accessory building. It will resemble a barn but will be used for personal storage and to stable the applicant's horses. The BZA had concerns about the height of the structure. The structure is higher than the applicant's house. A nearby resident spoke in opposition. He had concerns about the precedent this would set. The applicant advised the BZA the individual who spoke in opposition resided several thousand feet away. The BZA wanted to restrict the height of the structure so as to not exceed the height of the principal residence.
