Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-19-03-006 — GEORGE TIEDEMANN

Request: Variances in the R-1AA zoning district to allow a recreational vehicle to be parked on a residential lot as follows: 1) To allow a front yard setback of 12 ft. in lieu of 30 ft. 2) To allow a side yard setback of 1 ft. in lieu of 10 ft. This is the result of Code Enforcement action.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant would like to store his recreational vehicle in his side driveway, which does not meet the front or side setback required by code. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for storing the RV on site without a permit. Staff outlined the area, presented site photos, and explained the need for the variances. BZA had a discussion regarding the need for condition #5 regarding the vegetation along the southern property line. The Chairman of the board expressed that he felt comfortable with eliminating condition #5. The applicant agreed that if he did not have to install a vegetative buffer, that would be more convenient for him. No one spoke in favor or in opposition of the application, staff did receive seven (7) letters in support of the application. The BZA agreed the request met the variance criteria and approved the variances with the elimination of condition #5 regarding the vegetation along the south property line.
