The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a 12-foot variance from the 35-foot rear-setback requirement for a proposed residential addition on a 0.75-acre lot on Bethel Church Road (tax parcel referenced in staff report).

Staff told the board the addition would encroach to 23 feet from the rear property line and that an alternate location for the addition was possible, but the board approved the variance with five conditions: required county permits, compliance with the submitted plot plan, VDOT and health-department compliance, a certified survey staked in the field, and nullification of the variance if conditions are violated. The motion was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
