David Zackowski

Charlottesville, VA 22901
Description of Request:
To build an addition to single family dwelling in Albemarle Lake Sub Division. Addition would be a
second bedroom, storage, laundry and HVAC space. The existing second bedroom would be
converted to a master bath and closet. The proposed addition would need a variance into the
existing setback. The variance would extend one corner of the proposed addition 5.5 (five and
one-half) feet beyond the existing setback and 10 (ten)feet from the adjoining property.
Justification:
1) The existing dwelling needs central heat and air and additional storage space for my wife and I
to retire there. My wife suffers from asthma and the existing wood stove heat aggravates that
condition. I lived there for 15 years before I married 2 years ago, and we would like to move back
there permanently.
2) The dwelling was built as a cottage in the late fifties and since then additional houses have
been built in the adjoining Westover Hills sub-division. These houses are much larger with 3 and
4 bedrooms. With the proposed addition the dwelling would conform more in value to the other
houses.
3)The adjoining property owner to the proposed variance is finds no objection to the proposed
addition and will submit a letter stating so if necessary. The proposed addition would not be a
detriment to adjoining property and would be more compatible with existing structures than it is
currently.
