Re: Board of Zoning Appeals Action
VA-88-28, Tax Map 55, Parcel 96
Dear Mr. Wyant & Mr. Wood:
This letter is to inform you that on May 10, 1988, during
the regular meeting of the Albemarle County Board of Zoning
Appeals, your application for VA-88-28 was granted.
This variance approval allows relief from Section 10.4 of
the Albemarle County Zoning ordinance to reduce the front
setback from the minimum requirement of seventy-five (75)
feet to forty (40) feet to allow construction of a dwelling.
If you have any questions, please contact our office.
sincerely,

The applicant seeks a variance from Section 10.4 of the Albemarle
County Zoning Ordinance, which states:
1110.4 Area and Bulk Regulations
Yards, minimum:
Front 75 feet . . . "
The applicant proposes to construct a single family dwelling on a
non -conforming lot. The parcel has a lot depth of approximately
one hundred (100) feet and can therefore not be used for develop-
ment purposes without benefit of some spatial variance being
granted. The applicant therefore seeks a reduction of the
front setback from the minimum requirement of seventy-five
(75) feet to forty (40) feet.
RECOMMENDATION
The application should be approved for cause:
1) The zoning ordinance requirements have created a
hardship and hinder the applicant in the reasonable
development of his property
2) The hardship the applicant has is generally unique to
this property. Other non -conforming properties may
experience similar circumstances.
3) The granting of the variance will not be of detriment to the
adjacent properties nor will the character of the district
be altered.
