Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-04-07-183 — Wayne Hoholski

Request: Variance in R-1A (single family-7,500 sq. ft. lots) zone to construct addition (garage) to single family residence 4.5 ft. from side property line in lieu of 7.5 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The house sits at an angle on the property. The garage addition will be 4.5 feet from the side line at the narrowest point and 6.1 feet at the widest. It will line up with the existing building line of the house. The property's side abuts the rear yard of the lot to the north. Thus, there is a greater distance between the two houses than if they were located "side-to-side". There was no opposition to this request. The property owner to the north wrote a letter of no objection. The BZA imposed the guttering condition, typical when buildings are approved this close to the property line, to ensure no stormwater runoff would impact the next door neighbor's property.
