BZA approves several accessory‑structure special‑use permits with inspections and conditions

The Accomack County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a series of special‑use permits for accessory structures on agricultural parcels, including SUSE0001132026 (David Chin) and SUSE1342026 (Edward Myers), with conditions aimed at ensuring code compliance.

For SUSE0001132026 staff noted the lot is adjacent to the applicant's primary residence and recommended seven conditions — permits, compliance with the floodplain where applicable, and inspections. The board approved the permit with those conditions. In the Myers case, staff discovered a previously issued certificate of completion for a separate structure and recommended the board require building‑inspector access to a 28x12 accessory building to confirm it is not being used as a dwelling. Edward Myers testified the structure is a shed and that he lives elsewhere during the work week. The board approved SUSE1342026 and included the inspection condition among seven final conditions.

Approvals were accompanied by standard staff conditions requiring building permits, adherence to plot plans, and VDOT/health‑department compliance. The board noted prior administrative errors in permitting records (an erroneously issued certificate of completion) and added a targeted inspection requirement to address that issue.
