received a special use permit to convert an accessory building on their 156 acre site into living quarters for Jensen. The 16x24’ building was originally intended as an office and has approval for a septic field, they explained. The existing house is approximately 100 yards away.
The property is located on Route 614 in Gib Brown Hollow and is subdivided.
The Planning Commission had recommended approval, which the BZA granted unanimously.
Signs
Philip C. Strange received approval to operate a craft shop on his property approximately V- mile off Route 729 near the Thornton River. He may also place a sign on the. road advertising the business.
Strange agreed to keep the sign within the size limits of the proposed county zoning ordinance rather than the present regulations which would allow a larger one. Strange said he had yet to design the sign and had no objections to its being less than six square feet. The Planning Commission had recommended the limitation.
The sign will be located on Route 729 between Viewtown and Estes. His property itself is further in from the road and landlocked, Strange explained. It is served by a farm road which he said would be adequate since he doesn’t anticipate much additional traffic. Most of his business will be done at craft shows and by commission, he said. He does woodworking, his wife does decorative tiles, and they colloborate on furniture, he explained.
Strange also submitted a petition signed by 33 area residents in support of his proposal. ‘‘They’re not all relatives,” he quipped.
Harrison
Similar conditions were imposed on William and Jeanne Harrison. They sought a special use permit to operate a furniture refinishing and restoration business and to erect a sign on Route 231 near Sperryville. The board also approved the business as an antique shop. Harrison explained that as he restores furniture he occasionally has the opportunity to buy items. Frorr time to time people stop bj seeking a certain piece o! furniture, which Harrisor tries to find for them. “But 1 don’t go out with a big truck,” he added.
