The applicant is requesting one variance:
1. The existing residential property has a rear yard setback of fifty-three (53)
feet, five (5) inches. With the proposed eleven (11) foot, five (5) inch sunroom
addition, the rear yard setback would be forty-two (42) feet. The applicant is
requesting a variance for rear yard setback of seven (7) feet, five (5) inches.
Mr. and Mrs. William Phenix addressed the Board and answered questions regarding
their proposal to enclose their covered porch.
Moved by Mr. Sturdy, supported by Mr. Jachym, to grant the 7 ft. 5 in. rear yard
setback variance requested in Application 1376 at 46240 Quail Ridge Court
because the request meets all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance: practical
difficulty, substantial justice, public safety and welfare, exceptional
circumstances, not of a generally recurrent nature, not self-created, and not
dependent on increased financial return.
Ayes all.
Mr. Levengood indicated that Mr. Munfakh has not attended any ZBA meetings since
his appointment. He noted this might cause difficulties in seating a quorum and
this also raises the possibility of tie votes. Building Official Lewis said a
new liaison member would be appointed when the newly-elected Board of Trustees
takes office in November.
Respectfully submitted,
Raymond O. Sturdy, Jr., Secretary
Zoning Board of Appeals
NOTE: Upon granting a zoning variance, a
building permit is required.
If denied, the applicant may appeal to
Circuit Court.
