Smyth County BZA grants variance for commercial addition on Highway 107 in Saltville
Summary
On Nov. 9, 2021 the Smyth County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing a 40-by-60-foot addition to be built approximately on the lot line at 2828 Highway 107 after a Planning Commission recommendation and no objections from adjacent owners.
The Smyth County Board of Zoning Appeals voted Nov. 9, 2021 to approve a variance requested by Michael K. Beverly to permit a commercial addition that would sit at or near the lot line at 2828 Highway 107 in Saltville.
Clegg Williams, staff to the BZA, summarized the application: the proposed addition would measure about 40 by 60 feet and sit approximately on the lot line, requiring relief from the 15-foot side setback in the zoning ordinance (referred to in the notice as $3-4.4(b)). The Planning Commission reviewed the application on Oct. 28, 2021 and recommended approval to the BZA.
Beverly told the board he had spoken with adjoining property owners to the east and rear of the lot and that none had objected to the proposed addition. Board members asked procedural questions about how a future neighboring owner would proceed if they later wanted to build along the same side; Williams explained such a request would follow the same variance application process.
The motion to approve the variance, moved by Robert Shults and seconded by Kim Davidson, passed unanimously among members present (6-0 with one member absent). The board adjourned at roughly 5:50 p.m.
