[2900 Rapidan Trail; case BOA #26-07] The Board of Adjustments is considering a variance request for a second-story addition to an existing single-family home. The applicant seeks to reduce the required second-story side setback from 17 feet to 10 feet. The proposed addition is 1,005 square feet and will be located over the existing garage. The property is zoned R-1A. Staff recommends approval. Neighbors have submitted letters in support of the variance request, citing the thoughtful design and compatibility with the neighborhood character. The applicant states the unique lot configuration necessitates the variance to avoid significant loss of outdoor space and maintain architectural integrity. [1817 Pineview Circle; case BOA #26-08] The Board of Adjustments is considering a variance request for additions and renovations to an existing single-family home. The applicant seeks to reduce the required first-floor side setback from 14 feet to 8.8 feet on the western side. The property is zoned R-1A. Staff recommends approval, noting that strict adherence would require demolition of the existing structure due to unique lot shape (triangular), a wetland/floodplain at the rear, and easements. Neighbors have not submitted comments in the provided text. The applicant states the lot's unique shape and existing easements make compliance with the setback impossible without demolition. [1640 Cypress Point Lane; case BOA #26-06] The Board of Adjustments approved a variance for a rear porch addition to an existing single-family home. The variance allowed a 9-foot first-floor side setback in lieu of the required 11 feet. The applicant, Ellison Pools, proposed the addition to the home located at 1640 Cypress Point Lane, zoned R-1A. The applicant stated the design followed the existing pool layout and meeting the full setback would create an awkward design. The adjacent neighbor had no objections. Staff recommended approval. [1817 Pineview Cir; case BOA-2026-0008] Variance requested to reduce the one-story side yard setback from 15 feet to 8.8 feet on the west side of the property. The applicant states the irregular lot shape and existing nonconforming structure location prevent lateral expansion without encroaching on setbacks. The goal is to enclose an existing carport into a garage. The applicant has owned and occupied the property for 6 years. The property is located in Zoning 1A.
