Board of Zoning Appeals approves variance for barn at 21204 Fremont Moore Road
Summary
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved variance 2512‑VS‑19 allowing construction of an agricultural barn at 21204 Fremont Moore Road with the staff‑recommended condition; staff said no public comments were received and the board adopted findings of fact.
The Board of Zoning Appeals on Nov. 11 approved variance 2512‑VS‑19 to allow an agricultural barn at 21204 Fremont Moore Road, a property zoned GSF‑1. The board voted unanimously to grant the variance with the condition recommended in the staff report and then adopted the findings of fact.
Lauren Gillingham Teague of the Community Development Department summarized the petition and explained the lot constraints: a required right‑of‑way dedication has reduced the usable depth of the parcel by roughly 35–37 feet, and the petitioner sought to encroach 40 feet into a 40‑foot front yard setback. Teague said that measured from the established right of way the proposed barn would sit about 74 feet from that right of way, which she described as a smaller effective reduction than the raw setback number implies. She also reported the department had not received any public comments before the meeting and that the property owner was present to answer questions.
Speaker 1 opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.; no in‑person speakers were lined up and staff confirmed no emailed comments had been received, so the public hearing was closed one minute later. After brief board discussion, Speaker 1 moved to approve the variance subject to the staff‑noted condition; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call in which Mister Boller, Mister Clarino, Mister Plummer and Doctor Keane each voted "Yes." The board then voted to accept the findings of fact for 2512‑VS‑19 by the same tally.
The staff report identified the petition as a variance of development standard to permit construction of an agricultural barn in a flatter, lightly wooded portion of the lot. The approval included the condition referenced in the staff report; the board record did not specify the mover or seconder by name. The petitioner’s name was not stated on the record beyond staff’s note that the property owner was present to respond to questions.
The board concluded the hearing with routine closing remarks and moved on to reports. No appeal period or effective date was specified in the meeting record.
