This variance approval allows relief from Section 10.4 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to reduce the front yard setback measurement from the minimum requirement of seventy-five (75) feet to forty-six (46) feet. If you have any questions, please contact our office. Sincerely, ram' W. a7�.'r / Charles W. Burgess, Jr. Zoning Administrator CWB;Jr/mlm cc: VA-88-17 Inspections Dept. STAFF REPORT - VA-88-17 APPLICANT: William B. Craddock TAX MAP/PARCEL: 79/42 ZONING: RA (Rural Areas) ACREAGE: 2 .73 Acres LOCATION: West side of Route 729, +/- .1 mile south of its intersection with Route 732 The applicant seeks a variance from Section 10.4 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, which states: "10.4 Area and Bulk Regulations Yards, minimum Front 75 feet . . . " The applicant proposes to construct an addition on the south side of the dwelling. The existing dwelling was originally constructed in 1850 and is situated forty-six (46) feet from the front prop- erty line. The proposed addition would also be forty-six (46) feet from the front property line, and not the required seventy- five (75) feet. The only means by which the applicant can comply with the required seventy-five (75) foot setback is if the addition is added to the rear most portion of the existing dwelling. RECOMMENDATION The application should be approved for cause: The front yard setback requirement of the Zoning Ordinance does create a hardship for the applicant. The proposed addition would not be detrimental to the adjacent properties nor would the character of the district be altered.
