BZA defers special‑use permit request for travel trailer habitation on Stumptown Road
Summary
The Board deferred a staff‑recommended decision on an after‑the‑fact application for a single travel trailer on a half‑acre parcel at 9139 Stumptown Road (SUSE 94‑2025) because the applicant was not present; staff recommended denial if heard and outlined 10 conditions for approval.
The Accomack County Board of Zoning Appeals deferred action on SUSE 94‑2025, an after‑the‑fact special‑use permit application for a single travel trailer placed for habitation on a roughly 0.5‑acre parcel at 9139 Stumptown Road.
Cindy Jones, Code Enforcement Officer for Zoning, summarized staff findings and recommended denial, saying the property is in a special flood hazard area (8 BFE) and is not served by public water and sewer. Jones reported she did not receive any public comments in writing. Staff outlined 10 conditions that would apply if the board chose to approve the permit, including a two‑year expiration, limits on occupants to the applicant or family, compliance with flood‑plain rules and county inspections.
No applicant appeared at the hearing. Jones recommended deferral so the applicant could be present; a motion to defer was made and approved by voice vote.
The board will revisit SUSE 94‑2025 at a future meeting when the applicant is present to answer questions about utilities, site access and compliance plans.
