Board of Zoning Appeals allows home on undersized lot at 410 Blair Street
Summary
The Loudon City Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance to allow residential construction on a recorded lot smaller than the R‑1S minimum, and to designate Blair Street as the front yard for addressing and setback purposes.
The Loudon City Board of Zoning Appeals voted to grant a variance allowing residential construction at 410 Blair Street on a lot of record that is smaller than the R‑1S district’s 10,000-square-foot minimum. The applicant is Tim Scott and the property owners are listed as Ray and Debbie Deals.
The board heard that the lot is an existing lot of record and is approximately 7,500 square feet, smaller than the district minimum. The applicant represented that vehicle and pedestrian access to Blair Street would be provided via recorded easements across adjacent property, addressing a historic access constraint. The board determined that, because the parcel is a lot of record and the access easements were in order, a variance to permit construction and to establish Blair Street as the front yard for setback and addressing purposes was appropriate.
A motion to approve the variance was made and seconded; the board approved the variance by voice vote. Members noted the approval is conditioned on compliance with applicable setbacks and building-permit requirements when the applicant files for construction.
Next steps: applicant to pursue building permits and ensure setbacks and orientation conform to the approved variance and any conditions of the BZA decision.
