Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-16-08-094 — JAQUELINE DURRUTHY

Request: Variance in the R-1A zoning district to construct addition 12 ft. from rear (west) property line in lieu of 30 ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff gave a presentation on the case, covering the location, the site plan, photographs, and other similar variances granted in the area. The applicant stated that they tried to design the addition with a lesser encroachment, but that would have made it functionally obsolete. The BZA observed the request was for over fifty percent (50%), and confirmed that the applicant did not have H.O.A. approval. The BZA wanted a condition added that the applicant shall obtain written H.O.A. approval prior to getting permits. Staff received four (4) commentaries in favor and none in opposition of the application. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA approved the variance with the addition of a condition, stating that the applicant shall obtain written H.O.A. approval prior to getting permits.
