Dear Mr. & Mrs. Shank:
This letter is to inform you that on September 29, 1987, during

Appeals, your application for VA-87-58 was approved.
This variance approval allows relief from Section 30.5. 6.2 . 1 of
the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to reduce the setback from
one hundred fifty (150) feet to seventy-five (75) feet to allow
construction of a single-family dwelling.
If you have any questions, please contact our office.

STAFF REPORT - VA-87-58
APPLICANT: Melvin Shank
TAX MAP/PARCEL: 90B/A-30
ZONING: RA (Rural Areas)
LOCATION: South side of Route 20 at its intersection with
Forest Road
The applicant seeks a variance from Section 30. 5.6. 2. 1 of the Albemarle
County Zoning Ordinance . This section pertaining to the location of
structures in the Scenic Highway Overlay District , states:
"30. 5.6 . 2 SA-Highways
30. 5.6 . 2. 1 No buildings or structures other than necessary
accessory appurtenant fences and/or walls , except as here-
after provided in the case of certain signs , shall be
constructed within any SA-highways overlay district . "
The Scenic Highway Overlay District designation and setback dimension
is established in Section 30. 5. 2 . 2 , which states:
"30. 5. 2.2 SA-Highways
SA-highways overlay districts are hereby established along
the following highway corridors in Albemarle County for
a distance of one hundred fifty (150) feet on each side
of the right-of-way .
30. 5.2. 2 (b) Virginia Route 20 from Interstate Route 64
south to the corporate limits of the Town of Scottsville. "
The applicant applied for a building permit ( #81-689NR) on June 1 ,
1987, for the construction of a new single family dwelling. At the
time of the issuance of the building permit , the Zoning Department
staff did not apply the SA-Highway Overlay District setback requirement
to this parcel . This oversight has resulted in a need for a variance
from the minimum setback of one hundred fifty (150) feet to one
hundred forty-four (144) feet . The Zoning Department assumes
responsibility for the error and requests that the variance be granted.
Recommendation
The application should be approved.
