Knox County board approves setback variance for house at 4616 Marshall Drive
Summary
The Knox County zoning board approved a setback variance at 4616 Marshall Drive after the applicant, Alexander Zayats, said flood-zone constraints make the standard setbacks unbuildable for a three-bedroom home.
The Knox County zoning board approved a variance to setback requirements at 4616 Marshall Drive after the applicant cited floodplain constraints that he said prevent construction of a three-bedroom home under standard setbacks.
Alexander Zayats, who gave his address as 1140 Winterberry Lane, told the board the property is in a flood zone and that moving the building footprint or changing setbacks is necessary to build the dwelling as planned. The record shows the board asked for evidence of the hardship and that no codes official registered an objection during the hearing.
A motion to approve the request was made and seconded by board members; the board approved the motion by voice vote. The transcript records only a collective “aye” and does not list individual roll-call votes.
The board did not specify additional conditions in the discussion recorded. Next steps were not described in the transcript; any required permitting or further staff review was not specified.
