Board of Zoning Appeals approves front-yard setback variance for 19230 Crownstone Road
Summary
The Caroline County Board of Zoning Appeals on Jan. 21 granted a variance to Castillo Vasquez for a dwelling constructed in 1954 at 19230 Crownstone Road in Marydell, exempting roughly 12 feet of structure from the front-yard setback requirement.
The Caroline County Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved a variance at its Jan. 21 meeting for a dwelling constructed in 1954 at 19230 Crownstone Road in Marydell.
The applicant, Castillo Vasquez, requested relief from the county front-yard setback requirement after staff noted roughly 12 feet of the house encroaches into the required front-yard area. The BZA granted the variance, acknowledging the structure predates current zoning rules.
A staff member reported the board’s unanimous approval and said the house was constructed before zoning took effect; the front-yard setback in the area is generally 40 feet. No conditions or appeal information were discussed in detail during the planning commission report.
The BZA action was reported to the Planning and Zoning Commission during its February meeting. The Planning and Zoning Commission did not vote on the variance; it received the BZA report as part of its information items.
