Summary of the decision

VA-04-04-146 — Smith Construction & Development, Inc.

Request: Variances in R-1 (single family-5,000 sq. ft. lots) zone to construct single family residences on two (2) lots (one home on each lot) 20 ft. from rear property line in lieu of 25 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant wants to build (2) single-family homes on two separate lots 20 ft. from the rear yard setback in lieu of 25 ft. By moving the proposed homes 5 ft. back it will allow for the septic tanks to be installed in the front yard. All other minimum zoning requirements will be met. Two adjacent property owners spoke in opposition to this request and felt that the encroachment would negatively impact their privacy. After discussions between the Board and the opposed property owners, an additional condition was imposed to address this concern.
