STAFF REPORT - VA-88-33
APPLICANT: Garrett Clark
TAX MAP/PARCEL: 62/12
ZONING: RA (Rural Areas)
ACREAGE: 5.279 acres
LOCATION: Located at 1177 Free State Road
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 locate a mobile home on his property
and seeks a reduction of the front yard setback from the minimum
requirement of seventy-five (75) feet to thirty (30) feet. A
Special Use Permit (#SP-81-3) was approved by the Albemarle
County Board of Supervisors on March 4, 1981, authorizing the
placement of a mobile home on this property. The Board of
Zoning Appeals granted a variance (#VA-81-04) on February 24,
1981 which reduced the front setback for a mobile home from
seventy-five (75) feet to twenty-seven (27) feet. The variance
was granted due to the topographical condition (slope) of the
property subject to three (3) conditions. One of the conditions
was that the variance was granted to the applicant only. The
applicant was a Mr. Herbert E. Kaufman.
The original mobile home was removed from the property
approximately three (3) years ago. The present owner desires to
locate a new mobile home on the property in the approximate
location of the old one. In so doing the septic system and well
of the old unit could be utilized.
RECOMMENDATION
The application should be approved for cause:
1) The applicant has demonstrated that the topographical features
of the property create a hardship in the reasonable use of
said property.
2) The hardship is not generally shared by other properties in
the general vicinity.
3) The authorization of the variance will not be of detriment to
the adjacent properties nor will the character of the district
be altered.
