SUBJECT: VA 2003-011, BRENDA MOON, APPLICANT
DATE: 11/24/03
This variance was deferred at the November meeting to allow the applicant time:
1 . to attempt a property exchange with an adjoining parcel, and
2. to reconfigure and reconsider the potential buildable area.
On Wednesday, November 19, 2003 staff met with Bobby Moon (husband of Brenda)
and the Health Department on the site. Staff has determined that there is sufficient
buildable area on the site so that a variance for setback is not needed if certain
conditions are met. The applicant is agreeable.
The Health Department has stated that as long as the soil is not sprayed/treated for
termites, the setback from the well is only 10 feet. There are alternatives for termite
treatment that will enable the Moons to use the well while maintaining that setback.
There is an area north of the existing well that is approximately 150 feet in length and
50 to 75 feet in depth between the 10-foot well setback and the existing drainfield. This
7500 square foot (sf) area is more than sufficient for the proposed 1920 sf building (32'
x 60') that the Moons are envisioning. In addition, another 4200 square feet area to the
south of the existing well could be used. Therefore, there is no need for a variance
from the 75-foot front setback.
The Moons still need the variance from section 4.1 .3 to allow the two uses that they
want. The single family dwelling and the gift, craft and antique shop constitute the two
uses and require 120,000 sf. As stated in the staff report, the parcel is only 117,568 sf
so a variance of 2,432 sf is needed. The Moons have stated that their main objective in
having the dwelling and the store is for the safety of their business—namely to thwart
theft, vandalism, arson and the like. Because the Schuyler area is so far removed from
the County Police Department and the rural area response time is relatively slow, it
could make a difference to have a presence on the property at times when the business
is not open. Without the variance to allow two uses, the applicant could only have one
or the other—a dwelling or a store. [The store is also dependent on approval of the
special use permit by the Board of Supervisors.]
