The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance from the side yard setback requirements for a garage and approved a special use permit for a family apartment last Wednesday.
Jay Eaves asked for a variance to build a garage 11 feet, instead of 50 feet from his property line. The Eaves property is zoned rural residential and is located in Rappahannock Lakes.
Mr. Eaves had purchased land adjoining his own from James and Sally Brady to build the garage on. The garage will be closest to the remaining Brady property, and the Bradys said they did not want to sell any more land but they had no objection to the garage location.
A shorter outbuilding would not have needed the variance. The zoning ordinance requires that outbuildings less than 10 feet high be set back as far as they are tall. Those taller than 10 feet are supposed to meet the 50-foot setback requirement.
Mr. Eaves said that the garage door would have to be taller than average to accomodate a truck he uses in his business. He said he could only build a 10-foot-high garage by putting on a flat roof. To build a garage with the A-line roof he wanted, it would have to be 14 to 14 1/2 feet tall, he said. He said he could not build farther from the property line
