Mecklenburg County zoning board approves 5-foot side-yard variance for Allen property
Summary
A Mecklenburg County zoning board approved a variance reducing the side-yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet for Joseph and Stacy Allen’s new home at parcel 103A01-01-002-008 after brief discussion and a single letter of support.
On March 25, the Mecklenburg County zoning board approved a request from Joseph and Stacy Allen to reduce the required side-yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet for a new single-family home on property identified as county tax number 103A01-01-002-008, located on the west side of Ochinichi Drive West about one-tenth of a mile north of Powhatan Road.
The request was presented pursuant to Article 5, Section 5-3(b) (yard regulations). The applicants were present; county staff reported receiving one letter in support and no negative feedback. After no substantive questions from board members, a motion to approve the variance was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
A staff member told the board, “I got one letter that supported the application,” and noted there was no negative feedback. The board did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript; the motion was adopted following a voice vote in which members present said “aye.”
The board also approved the minutes from its Jan. 28 meeting by motion and voice vote during the same session. Members briefly acknowledged that this meeting was Mr. Edmonds’ final meeting as a member of the VCA; colleagues offered thanks for his service.
The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn was made and carried.
Details recorded in the meeting record include the parcel identifier (county tax number 103A01-01-002-008), the cited ordinance section (Article 5, Section 5-3(b) — yard regulations), and the cited deed-book reference noted by staff (Deed Book DDD-24-4638).
