BZA grants front-setback variance for Triangle Enterprises porch
Summary
The board approved a front-setback variance (VAR0000502026) for a porch addition after staff noted the porch had been constructed without a permit and discussed the frontage and setback issues; approval included five conditions.
Triangle Enterprises (applicant represented at the hearing) sought a front-setback variance for a porch that brought the house closer to the right of way than allowed. Staff described the porch as new construction placed closer to the road and said the applicant had not met the usual variance thresholds; the board nonetheless approved a variance of 30 feet from the 50-foot setback requirement with five conditions, including applying for building permits and providing a survey.
The applicant’s representative said the renovation was intended as an improvement to the property and that an earlier small porch or stoop may have existed; staff and the county’s inspector confirmed some prior small porch features were present but that the new porch extends farther and lacked a permit. The board moved and voted to approve the variance with the conditions read into the record.
