This variance approval allows relief from section 10.4 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to reduce the front yard setback for an addition from seventy-five (75) feet to forty-four (44) feet. If you have any questions, please contact our office. Sincerely, W. °s'!o Charles W. Burgess, Jr. Zoning Administrator CWB,j r/st cc: VA-88-37 Inspections Department STAFF REPORT - VA-88-37 APPLICANT: Lee P. McCauley TAX MAP/PARCEL: 43/29 ZONING: RA (Rural Areas) ACREAGE: 2 . 8 acres LOCATION: Northeast corner of Route 601 and Route 614 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 a nine (9) foot by twenty- one (21) foot addition to an existing, non-conforming country store and seeks a reduction of the front yard setback measure- ment from the minimum requirement of seventy-five (75) feet to forty-four (44) feet. The proposed addition will be to the west side of the existing structure. A similar variance (case #77-05) was granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals on March 8, 1977, which authorized the reduction of the front yard setback from seventy-five (75) feet to forty-four (44) feet to enable the construction of freezer. No determination has yet been made as to whether the proposed addition will necessitate additional off-street parking spaces to be provided and henceforth whether a site development plan will be required. RECOMMENDATION Based on the previous action of the Board of Zoning Appeals, the staff recommends that the application be approved. The staff is of the opinion that the granting of the variance will not be of detriment to the adjacent properties nor will the character of the district be altered.
