Minutes of the meeting held January 14, 1991 were approved as submitted.
326 VIRGINIA DRIVE - REQUEST FOR VARIANCE.
The applicant, James Baranovic, proposes to build a two story addition for
the purpose of a manager's office and dwelling, instead of the one-story
addition that was previously approved.
On November 4, 1987, the Board of Adjustment approved a request for
nonconforming use and nonconforming density. On October 12, 1988, Mr.
Baranovic requested an extension of time to complete the seven unit project.
Contained within an April 16, 1991 staff report, the findings are as follows:
1. The subject property is located on a triangular shaped lot at the
corner of Virginia Lane and Wonderview Avenue, a highly visible
site.
2. The location of the structure will not create a sight obstruction.
3. A setback variance will not be required.
4. The two-story addition must be kept in the same footprint.
In consideration of the Board of Adjustments November 4, 1987 approval for
nonconforming density, staff recommends approval of the alteration.
Member Sager noted that one of the conditions to the previous variance was
not completed, i.e. the rock wall along Virginia Drive which was to be
extended to the northwest property line. Mr. Baranovic stated the rock wall
had been 90% completed at a cost of approximately $450.00 shortly after the
Board of Adjustment's approval, but the Town informed him the wall would have
to be removed because it was in the street right-of-way.
Member Sager also noted the plot plan should be updated to reflect existing
conditions in the area. Building Inspector Allman stated the setbacks shown
on the plot plan appear to be accurate.
A May 30, 1991 letter from Robert Muirhead, owner of the property at 320
Virginia Drive was entered into the record. Mr. Muirhead's letter requested
that if the variance is approved, the three following conditions should be
met:
1. The unit should not be split as a multiple rental.
2. Construction should be completed within a 90 day period, including
cleanup.
3. A floor plan should be submitted prior to granting the variance
along with the request.

Mr. Baranovic stated that construction is anticipated to begin September 1991
with completion in thirty to forty-five days. Member Newsom commended Mr.
Baranovic for his prior improvements to the property.
It was moved and seconded (Garrett-Sager) the variance request at 326
Virginia Drive be granted with the following conditons:
1. The new plot plan be brought up to date prior to a building permit
being issued.
2. The unit not be split as a multiple rental.
3. When the floor plan is submitted and building permit issued, the
applicant be allowed ninety days for exterior construction and
cleanup.
