[quote=Anonymous]This was what Supervisor directly said about it being a variance:

Update on the Greenbriar addition. When the building permits for this addition were approved by Land Development Services (LDS), they showed that the addition complied with our current zoning ordinance and would be 8.5 feet away from the adjacent property line. This conforms with the 8-foot minimum and LDS determined that there was nothing that they could do to stop the addition from being built. At my urging, the County’s Zoning Administration Division performed a check of the property and found that the side of the addition was actually being constructed too close to the adjacent property by about 5-inches (before the addition of siding or any shutters or gutters that would move it closer). As a result, there is currently a stop-work order. At this time, the property owner has been encouraged to hire an independent contractor to resurvey the property and confirm or dispute County staff’s findings. If the addition is too close, it will need to be corrected or the homeowner will need to apply for a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals.[/quote]
