The reason for this denial was that all three members did not vote to grant this variance as set forth in section 12.1-5.2 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The concurring vote of three members shall be necessary to grant a variance. Since one member abstained from the vote, the variance was denied. It will not be necessary for you to appear at the next meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals. The Zoning Administrator will take this matter up with the Board at the meeting to be held September 11, 1979. The Board will then vote on a re-hearing to be held October 9, 1979. If they choose to hear the application again, you must submit to our office a new application and fee since it must be re-advertised and adjacent property owners notified. This must be in our office no later than September 24, 1979. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact our office. Respectfully, urj— Jesse R.

As you see, he informs me that the vote of the Board on August 28, 1979 was invalid because one gentlemen abstained. I would like to follow David' s suggestion and ask the Board to reconsider its vote on the existing record, with- out the necessity of another trip to Charlottesville. What would you suggest? As you see, we will be withholding Mr. Block' s money until we have a valid resolution of the problem. Sincerely, William G. McClure, III 58: 324 Enclosure cc: Mr. William G. McClure, Jr. Mr. F.

McClure, III, Esquire Mays, Valentine, Davenport & Moore Post Office Box 1122 Richmond, VA 23208 Re: Block to McClure Dear Bill: Enclosed herewith is a copy of Section 12 .1-5. 2 of the Albemarle County Code, which deals with procedure before the Board of Zoning Appeals. You will note that the final sentence of this provision requires the concurring vote of three members of the Board of Zoning Appeals in order to effect any variance from the Zoning Ordinance. The purported approval of your it request for a variance was apparently invalid. To save yourself the time and expense of another trip to Charlottesville, you should consider making a letter request to the Board of Zoning Appeals to reconsider your application for a variance on the existing record. If you think it might be helpful, we would be happy to suggest to Mr. Block that he write a letter to the Board of Zoning Appeals endorsing your application for a variance and urging approval. { Please let me know if we can be of any assistance to you. The escrow fund which our firm is holding will not, of course, be disbursed prior to resolution of this matter. Very truly yours, II FEIL & DEINLEIN David H.

STAFF REPORT VA-79-50. W. G. McClure, Jr. and F. Daniel McClure Tax Map: 87A Parcel: 23 Zoned: A-1 Existing Activity Single-family residence Proposed Variance The applicants request relief from the following sections: (1) Section 2-5-1 to allow the east property side to be 9 feet; a vari- ance of 16 feet; and (2) Section 2-6-2 to allow the west property side fronting on Rte. 711 to be 26 feet; a variance of 4 feet. Zoning Ordinance Requirements (1) Section 2-5-1 Side. The minimum side yard for each main structure shall be twenty-five (25) feet or more. (2) Section 2-6-2 The side yard on the side facing the side street shall be thirty (30) feet or more for both main and accessory buildings. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends denial because the property lines were staked and inspected by the Zoning Inspector and viewed by the contractor and owner. The house was then correct by the original survey. A new survey had to be made when the house was put under contract. After the new survey was completed, the property lines were re-located too close to the house. Staff feels this was no fault of the inspector but the surveyor.
