3 None Proponent: Mr. Raymond Key stated he represents Mid-Atlantic, LLC and the property located on Transylvania has been owned by Mid-Atlantic for the last twelve years. He noted the company wanted to build the Warehouse for vertical storage, to clean up the property and improve the neighborhood. Mr. Key stated there were no objections from neighbors. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Zoning Administrator, Mr. John King, stated the applicant was requesting a variance on the lot coverage of the property. Mr. King stated an application for a Conditional Use Permit has been submitted to Planning Department, but the application cannot move forward, as proposed, due to the size of the proposed building addition. Mr. King stated Section A.5 of The Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance indicated the maximum lot coverage of buildings in this district is thirty percent. He stated the application and information provided by the applicant does not indicate an unusual situation and does not meet the criteria needed for granting a variance. Mr. King stated the Zoning Regulation limiting the lot coverage is shared generally by all business properties and the granting of the variance would amount to a special privilege or a convenience. He also stated the applicant has not shown that the denial of the variance would effectively prohibit or otherwise unreasonably restrict the current use of the property and therefore staff recommends denial of the variance application. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the City Attorney. City Attorney, Ryan Samuel, concurred with the Zoning Administrator and stated there was no evidence of a hardship. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked for questions. Mr. Key asked to be recalled to the podium to speak. Mr. Key stated there was a hardship due to the materials being left out in the weather. He indicated the Warehouse would provide dry storage. Mr. Key also stated the warehouse would make the area cleaner and the cost of sandblasting the material would diminish. Mr. Key went on to say this was an improvement. Mrs. BeDois asked Mr. King if the plans were acceptable except for the variance. Page 3 of 17

Mr. Reece stated the lot is a single piece with an existing home that was Page 4 of 17

5 built in the 1930 s. He went on to say the lot next to it would need the variance in order to build on it. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Zoning Administrator, Mr. John King, stated the applicant is requesting a variance of approximately five feet, 2.40feet for each lot, from the R-8S lot width development standard of seventy-five feet to create two lots of equal width of feet each. Mr. King stated Section A.2 of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance says minimum lot width in the R-8 District is seventy-five feet. He stated an economic hardship is not considered grounds for the granting of a variance and the applicant has not shown that the denial of the variance would effectively prohibit or otherwise unreasonably restrict the current use of the property. Mr. King stated the applicant does not have a hardship and the applicant has the ability to use, and is using the property, for a single-family dwelling and therefore, staff recommends denial of the variance request. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the City Attorney. City Attorney, Ryan Samuel, concurred with the Zoning Administrator stating no evidence of a hardship had been presented beyond an economic hardship which is not a reason to grant a variance. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked for questions. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for a motion on Application # Mr. Floyd motioned to approve Application # Mrs. BeDois seconded the motion.

6 The Secretary read Application #14-38 into the record for Board review and action. C. Application #14-38 Leon G & Angela J Kerry, property owners, 600 Weston Arch, pursuant to Section of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance, appealing a notice of violation issued to the property dated August 14, 2014 and mailed August 18, 2014 for violation of Section of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance for having a hedge in excess of 2 ½-feet in height in a visibility triangle. The property is further identified as Lot 12 Westgate Park; Real Estate Parcel No , Zoning Classification: R6, residential. The Secretary stated there was one registered speaker supporting Application # Proponents for Application #14-38: Leon Kerry 600 Weston Arch Representing Self Opponents for Application #14-38: None Proponent: Mr. Leon Kerry stated he was unaware of the height requirement. He went on to explain the neighborhood was unsafe. Mr. Kerry stated the hedges were grown for protection and if he could move he would. He stated he has installed security measures and still feels that isn t enough. Mr. Kerry said if he complies with the zoning requirements his family would be in jeopardy. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Zoning Administrator, Mr. John King, stated the appellant has been cited for a hedge over two and half feet in height in the corner visibility triangle, and this also applies to the fence in the visibility triangle. Mr. King stated that Section A of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance states at intersections on corner lots, no fence, wall, hedge or other planting structure that will obstruct vision between a height of two and one-half feet and ten feet above the pavement centerline grades of the intersecting sheets shall be erected, placed or maintained within the triangular area formed by the edge of the pavement of each intersecting street at such corner lot and a straight line which joins those Page 6 of 17

7 pavement edges at points which are forty-five feet from the point where the projections of the pavement edges intersect. Mr. King referred to the diagram that was provided from the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance, stating that two forty-five foot lines, if moved down the road towards the intersection at the edge of the pavement where they touch, there could be a large radius in the area, resulting in the lines to touch further and further out into the street. Mr. King went on to explain that to the back of that forty-five foot line where they have been drawn forward and come to a point, to the back of it you draw another line across there and that is the angle that the triangle on intersections that there is not supposed to be any obstruction. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked about other items in pictures being an obstruction. Mr. King stated the items could be checked to make sure they are not obstructing the visibility triangle. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked if the road was widened after the houses were built. Mr. King wasn t sure when the houses were built, but Mrs. BeDois stated she grew up on that street and the road has been widened. Mr. King reminded the Board that the application was an appeal and it was challenging the interpretation of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator s interpretation and indicating the appellant believes the CZO was incorrectly interpreted or notice of violation was issued incorrectly. Mr. King stated this was not a variance request or determination based on hardship or the perceived impact of the violation. He stated the height of the hedge is clearly in violation of the CZO and the notice of violation was correctly issued. Mr. King stated there was no basis for upholding an appeal in this matter and staff recommends denial of the appeal. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the City Attorney. Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Ryan Samuel, stated he concurred with the Zoning Administrator and he has correctly interpreted the Zoning Ordinance and he sympathizes with the applicant, but the way to fix this would be to amend the Zoning Ordinance, not to grant the appeal. Page 7 of 17

8 Vice-Chairman Rowland asked for questions. Mrs. BeDois asked Mr. Samuel if the applicant could apply for a variance. Mr. Samuel and Mr. King stated they could request a variance. There would be conditions. Mrs. BeDois asked if there would be a time constraint. Mr. King stated this would be completely different from an appeal. Mr. Wethington inquired on the forty-five foot angle and Mr. King answered his question. Mr. Woodhouse asked Mr. Kerry to return to the podium. Mr. Kerry explained that the road in front of his home has existed for a long time. He also stated that the home across the street has the same issues and taking the fence and hedges down would not solve the problem and would leave his family vulnerable to the surroundings. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for a motion on Application # Mr. Woodhouse motioned to uphold the appeal on Application # Mrs. BeDois seconded the motion. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for the vote on Application # Motion: Mr. Woodhouse Second: Mrs. BeDois Vote: The Board of Zoning Appeals upheld the appeal on Application # Vice-Chairman Rowland asked the Secretary to read the next item of business into the record. The Secretary read Application #14-39 into the record for Board review and action. D. Application #14-39 Leon G & Angela J Kerry, property owners, 600 Weston Arch, pursuant to Section of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance, appealing a notice of violation issued to the property dated August 14, 2014 and mailed August Page 8 of 17

9 18, 2014 for violation of Section of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance for having a hedge in excess of 4-feet in height in an established front yard. The property is further identified as Lot 12 Westgate Park; Real Estate Parcel No , Zoning Classification: R6, residential. The BZA Secretary stated there was one registered speaker for this Application. Proponents for Application #14-39: Leon Kerry 600 Weston Arch Representing Self Opponents for Application #14-39: None Proponent: Mr. Leon Kerry stated that the hedges are five feet tall and used for keeping people and things out of his yard. He stated he has security cameras and needs the hedges for protection and privacy. Mr. Kerry stated there is a hardship. He also said he doesn t feel justice is being served. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Zoning Administrator, Mr. John King, stated Section A of the CZO says that except as provided below, all fences, walls and hedges located on any property in a single-family or two-family residential zoning district classification or in the A-1 agricultural zoning district if used for residential purposes, shall be subject to the following height limitations: within an established front yard, a maximum of four feet in height. He went on to say for corner and through lots, all fences, walls and hedges which are in front of the interior edge of the required front yard of the adjoining lot shall not be higher than four feet. Mr. King explained that in a corner lot situation the rear yard, just like Mr. Kerry s, and due to the next yard over facing the road, you are unable to have fences, walls and hedges above four feet when it runs in the front yard of the house next door. Mr. King stated that in this particular case the first part mainly applies due to the established yard and a maximum of four feet in height. He noted Mr. Kerry has more than one front yard and he has no rear yard due to his property being adjacent to streets. Mr. King stated this is again an appeal and the Board would Page 9 of 17

10 need to find that the Zoning Ordinance was interpreted incorrectly and the notice of violation was issued correctly and therefore, staff recommends denial. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the City Attorney. Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Ryan Samuel, stated he agrees with the Zoning Administrator and he interpreted the zoning ordinance correctly and he should be upheld. Mr. Samuel noted that the Board isn t deciding if a hardship was demonstrated and the Board is deciding if the ordinance was interpreted correctly. He also noted if a variance was applied for a hardship could be determined. Mr. Kerry noted he applied for what Inspector Strickland told him. He also noted this is a hardship. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked for questions. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for a motion for Application # Mr. Woodhouse motioned to uphold appeal request on Application # Mr. BeDois seconded the motion. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for the vote on Application # Motion: Mr. Woodhouse Second: Mrs. Bedois Vote: The Board of Zoning Appeals upheld the appeal on Application # Vice-Chairman Rowland asked the Secretary to read the next item of business into the record. The Secretary read Application #14-40 into the record for Board review and action. E. Application # Mary W. Harris, Owner, Steven Alexander Homes, Contract Purchaser, and Walton P Burkhimer Jr., agent, 1781 and 1777 Rockwood Drive, requesting a variance from section A.2 of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance from the minimum lot width of 90 feet, to 75 feet for lot 1A and feet for lot 2A. The property is further identified as lots 1 and 2 of block 4, section 2, of the Parkview subdivision in Deep Creek, map book 36, page 1. Real Estate Parcel and , Zoning district R-15s, residential. Page 10 of 17

11 The BZA Secretary stated there was one registered speaker for this Application. Proponents for Application #14-40: Pete Burkhimer 3501 Martin Johnson Road Representing Self Opponents for Application #14-40: None Proponent: Mr. Burkhimer stated he was here to represent Mrs. Harris, an elderly lady who has owned a couple of lots in the Parkview subdivision for a long time. He stated the lots were created in 1953, before the City-wide Zoning Ordinance was adopted. Mr. Burkhimer also stated he was representing Stephen Alexander Homes who is the contract purchaser, noting if the variance is approved they will purchase the property from Mrs. Harris and do the re-subdivision that is contemplated under this variance. He noted if the variance isn t approved Stephen Alexander Homes will either not purchase or purchase at a lower price for the deal to be able to work. Mr. Burkhimer stated that most of the lots in Parkwood (should be Parkview), especially where streets intersect at degree corners, are seventy-five feet wide and one hundred and fifty feet deep, which gives them an area of eleven thousand two hundred and fifty square feet. He went on to say that the zoning, which was applied later, 1969, is R-15S, which requires a lot that is ninety feet wide at the building line and requires a minimum area of fifteen thousand square feet. Mr. Burkhimer stated none of the lots comply with the requirements. He stated the reason for the request was to use the city sewer on Hazelwood Road. Mr. Burkhimer stated they would like to rotate the line between the two lots, ninety degrees, so there can be two lots fronting on Hazelwood where the sewer currently is located. He noted with the variance, one lot would be seventy-five feet and the other seventy-eight feet and slightly more non-conforming. Mr. Burkhimer added the benefit would be the use of city sewer. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Zoning Administrator, Mr. John King, stated the applicant requests a variance from the R-15S development standards for the required front yard frontage and width for the proposed division of the parcel, the existing lots are currently nonconforming and the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance Section C requires that non-conforming lots being subdivided must meet the development standards for the zoning district in order to be subdivided. He stated that Section A.2 Page 11 of 17

12 says the minimum lot width in this district is ninety feet and the proposed resubdivision does not meet the requirements of the ordinance. Mr. King stated the proposal, however, does not result in any additional lots or additional impact on the community. He stated there was no evidence of a hardship presented that would meet the requirements for granting a variance and staff concludes the report. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the City Attorney. Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Ryan Samuel, concurred with the Zoning Administrator, but wanted to point out that there is case law that was decided under the previous statute where it had to approach confiscation to grant a variance and that language has been removed, but in the cases they discussed where the variance was upheld, because the lot wasn t buildable. Mr. Samuel stated it was arguable that this situation fits that and a hardship may have been demonstrated. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked for questions. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for a motion on Application # Mrs. BeDois motioned to approve Application # Mr. Wethington seconded the motion. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for the vote on Application # Motion: Mrs. BeDois Second: Mr. Wethington Vote: The Board of Zoning Appeals approved the variance on Application # The Secretary read Application #14-41 into the record for Board review and action. F. Application # Trent Kelly and Rachel Kelly, 917 Head of River Road, property owners, request a variance from section A.3.b.1 of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance from the minimum side yard setback from 18 feet to 12.4 feet for an accessory structure to be constructed. The property is identified as lot 12 subdivision of parcel A Overholt property 3.65 ac. and further identified as Real Estate parcel , zoning district A-1, agricultural. The BZA Secretary stated there was one registered speaker for this Page 12 of 17

13 Application. Proponents for Application #14-41: Trent Kelly 917 Head of River Road Representing Self Opponents for Application #14-41: None Proponent: Mr. Kelly stated he was requesting to build a structure on an existing concrete pad. He stated there was previously a structure there that burnt down on January 31 st. Mr. Kelly noted he has been dealing with insurance to get this situation resolved. He stated the original structure is on the plat that was provided and the proposed structure is laid over the original structure. Mr. Kelly stated there is less of a footprint with the new structure. He stated the plans have been reviewed by Donna in Zoning and was told the plans looked good, just re-submit the plans, as they are sufficient to build. Mr. Kelly stated the neighbor next door has no issues with the building. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Zoning Administrator, Mr. John King, stated the applicant is requesting a variance to re-build a non-conforming detached garage onto an existing foundation, this will include the expansion of the slab and the footing in order to accommodate the new building. He stated the proposed garage encroaches six feet into the required eighteen-foot side yard; the structure previously located on the existing foundation was non-conforming. Mr. King stated the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance Section C concerning the repair, maintenance and reconstruction of lawful non-conforming structures indicates that when a nonconforming building is damaged by any casualty, including fire, to an extent that exceeds fifty percent of its assessed value, it shall not be reconstructed unless the non-conforming building is a single-family or two-family dwelling, in which it may be reconstructed within two years of the damage. Mr. King stated the garage is a detached accessory structure and is not a residential dwelling unit as described in the code. He noted there is more than enough space on the property to locate a new garage in compliance with the current requirements. Mr. King stated there had been no hardships presented and the financial advantage to use an existing slab is not in itself a hardship Page 13 of 17

14 based on the state legislation and staff therefore, recommends denial of the variance request. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the City Attorney. Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Ryan Samuel, stated he concurs with the Zoning Administrator. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked for questions. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for a motion on Application # Mr. Floyd motioned to approve Application # Mr. Thrift seconded the motion. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for the vote on Application # Motion: Mr. Floyd Second: Mr. Thrift Vote: The Board of Zoning Appeals approved the variance on Application # The Secretary read Application #14-42 into the record for Board review and action. G. Application # Anthony and Francine Johnson, 3920 Grand Isle Drive, property owners, requesting a variance from the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance section A.3.b.2 from the minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet to 6 feet to construct a deck. The property is identified as on lot 68 Nassau ac. Real Estate parcel # , R-10s residential. The BZA Secretary stated there were two registered speakers for this Application. Proponents for Application #14-42: Anthony Johnson 3920 Grande Isle Drive Representing Self Francine Johnson 3920 Grande Isle Drive Representing Self Opponents for Application #14-42: None Page 14 of 17

15 Proponent: Anthony and Francine Johnson requested to approach the podium together. Mrs. Johnson stated there was a correction to the setback request. They are requesting eighteen feet as opposed to the six feet. She stated the request is due to the different builders and the lots on each side. Mrs. Johnson stated the lots on both sides of her lot flood her yard when it rains. She noted an engineer was hired and she was told her lot is properly graded. Mrs. Johnson stated the main reason for the variance is to build a deck so the backyard can be utilized. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the Zoning Administrator. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Zoning Administrator, Mr. John King, stated the applicant wishes to construct a deck on the back of the residence to eighteen feet of the rear property line (this is a revision) and within the required twenty-five foot rear yard setback. He stated the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance Section B.2 requires the rear yard setback be twenty-five feet. Mr. King stated a hardship had not been presented, the deck can be constructed smaller or in a different configuration, the lot does not have an usual shape or characteristic that would prevent the use of the property for a single-family residential dwelling and staff recommends denial of the variance. Mr. King however stated if the board chooses to approve the variance, he suggests a stipulation with the eighteen-foot setback be included. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked to hear from the City Attorney. Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Ryan Samuel, stated he concurs with the Zoning Administrator and reminded the board what they are considering is whether the flooding causes the Johnson s to lose all reasonable use of the property. Vice-Chairman Rowland asked for further discussion. Vice-Chairman Rowland called for a motion on Application # Mr. Woodhouse motioned to approve Application #14-42 with stipulation for plans to be submitted with eighteen foot setback.
