5. New Business
A. Variance Request
The request of Boone Thomas LLC, property owners, for a variance from Section 106-
208.3(B)(1) of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance pertaining to site development
regulations, for the property located at 100 block Richfield Avenue, Tax Map # 120-1-3.
The petitioners are requesting a 13 foot rear-yard setback variance to allow for the
construction of a house and deck. Section 106-208.3(B)(1) states that single-family
dwellings shall conform with the setback requirements of Section 106-202.3(B)(1), which
requires a 25-foot rear-yard setback.
Chairmen Dubois inquired as to whether there has been any correspondence from
members of the public regarding this request.
Mr. Dillon responded that there had not been any concern express to the Community
Development Department to his knowledge.
Steve Poff, 1000 High Street, Salem Virginia, owner of 17th Century Builders and
representative of Boone Thomas LLC. Mr. Poff provided each board member with a plat
illustrating the proposed development and setback requirements.
Mr. Poff expressed his concern with the lot given its relatively shallow depth. He stated
that most residential lots are at least roughly one-hundred and fifteen deep, whereas this
lot is only approximately ninety-five feet deep.
Steve stated that at the time of purchase, there was a fifteen foot rear yard setback in
place. Since then, the zoning requirements have changed and now a twenty-five foot rear
yard setback is required.
Chairmen Dubois asked what the date of purchase was.
Mr. Poff stated that he purchased the lot about two years ago. He reiterated that his issue
lies in the rear, and a variance would allow him to build a home that would offer a nice
home with the amenities that the market desires.
Steve did mention that there is another option – to place the home fronting Richfield with
a “side entry.”
Captain Copenhaver inquired as to why Mr. Poff did not want to construct the home in
this fashion.
Steve responded that he does not believe it looks as good, Richfield is “tighter” to back
out on, and that it looks aesthetically better fronting Burwell. He did mention that the
house shrinks in square footage with the “side entry” option. Steve mentioned that there
will be a finished basement. He is building to sell for a middle-aged family.
Chairmen Dubois asked what the square footage of the home would be.
Steve responded approximately 17 [hundred square feet].
Chairmen Dubois inquired about ownership of the lot.
Mr. Poff responded that Boone Thomas LLC owns the lot, and that it is jointly owned by
that group. Mr. Poff does the building for that entity.
Steve mentioned that the variance being requested is a little bit greater than what is
needed by about 1.5 feet. Mr. Dillon confirmed that number. Mr. Poff stated that the
additional room would provide a little flexibility.
Captain Copenhaver requested confirmation that the additional request is 1.5 feet, but the
intention is not to build in that extra room.
Mr. Poff responded in the affirmative.
Chairmen Dubois asked if the two current options were to come in off of Richfield or to
shrink the deck.
Mr. Poff confirmed those options. He mentioned that he looked at shrinking the deck,
but he stated that people like to have room on their deck.
Chairmen Dubois questioned whether or not any fencing is planned for the property
given its “public” nature.
Steve stated that that matter was a concern when the property was purchased, but there is
no plan to fence the property.
Chairmen Dubois asked about any grandfathering applicable to the lot.
Mr. Poff stated that he and Mary Ellen had worked together and looked, but there was no
grandfathering. He stated that he had already sent preliminary plans into the Community
Development Department before the zoning ordinance and setback requirements were
changed. He noted that it is not the end of the world if the variance is not granted, but
allowing the extra space would make it a more marketable opportunity.
Mr. Sellers asked if the owner of the house at 103 Richfield Avenue had been notified.
Mr. Dillon responded in the affirmative, and stated that he had not heard any opposition.
Mr. Poff stated that he had spoken with the property owner, and did not sense any
pushback. He also noted that 103 Richfield Avenue is rental property.
Mr. Sellers asked whether the existing zoning on the lot is single family.
Mr. Poff answered in the affirmative.
Captain Copenhaver inquired if the City Attorney’s Office had looked into this matter.
Mr. Dadak stated that they had not had a chance to do so.
Mr. Dillon clarified that the zoning designation of the subject property is actual RB
Residential Business District, but because a single family home is planned to be
constructed on the property, it would have to meet the site development regulations for
the RSF Residential Single Family District. Prior to the zoning ordinance change in
2021, RB Residential District had its own setbacks, but the change in 2021 required
single family homes in any district to meet the RSF setback guidelines.
Captain Copenhaver inquired what the rear yard setback is in RB Residential Business
District is.
Max responded that the rear yard setback in RB is fifteen feet; however, the single family
home would have to meet the RSF requirements which would be a twenty-five foot rear
yard setback.
Chairmen Dubois questioned whether any zoning adjustments would be required in
addition to the approval of the variance.
Mr. Dillon responded that the rear yard setback variance would allow Mr. Poff to build
the home according to the plan that he has provided.
Mr. Gresham made the comment that he believes that this will not make a difference in
the area, and that there should be some form of grandfathering based upon the restrictions
in place at the time the property was purchased.
Captain Copenhaver asked about the orientation of the house on the lot in regard to the
“side entry.”
Mr. Poff stated that the house would be situated the same way, but the garage would have
to be narrowed.
Chairmen Dubois questioned whether this would make any difference in regard to the
neighborhood.
Mr. Van Allman stated that this is a unique scenario, and questioned what the date of the
initial submittal was in regard to the zoning ordinance change.
Mr. Poff stated that he had been talking with Mary Ellen, and he had developed his plan
based on the fifteen foot rear yard setback at the time. During the time period between
preliminary discussions and concept plan submittal, the zoning ordinance was adjusted,
requiring all new single family homes to adhere to the setback guidelines specified in
RSF regardless of their zoning district.
Mr. Dillon clarified that the initial submission was simply a concept plan, and no official
submittal had been made prior to June 14, 2021. Since there was no official submittal at
the time of the zoning ordinance adjustment, the new plan would be governed by the
updated zoning ordinance.
Mr. Van Allman stated that the Community Development Department could have done a
better job communicating that change and its consequences to Mr. Poff.
Captain Copenhaver asked Mr. Dillon if the plan would meet the requirements if it were a
store with retail space.
Max responded that it would so long as it met the fifteen foot rear yard setback. He
referenced the plans which indicate thirteen feet, six inches would remain between the
rear building line and the property line. He stated that if that were fifteen feet, a store
could be built there without a variance.
Chairmen Dubois asked if a fifteen foot setback stipulation within the variance would
work.
Mr. Dillon responded that a fifteen foot rear yard setback would not allow Mr. Poff to
build according to the provided plans. It would give him more room, but the deck would
still have to be adjusted.
Chairmen Dubois asked if there was anyone else present to speak on the matter. Hearing
none, he stated that if anyone disagrees with the decision of the Board of Zoning
Appeals, they may appeal to the 2nd Court of the City of Salem. That right must be
exercised within 30 days, specifying the grounds on which the applicant is aggrieved.
Mr. Gresham motioned for the approval of the variance as requested, with the proffer that
the entire variance does not have to be utilized/built upon.
Captain Copenhaver requested that the motion be clarified.
Chris Dadak of the City Attorney’s Office explained that because a full thirteen feet was
advertised, the Board could grant a variance up to, but not exceeding, that thirteen feet.
Mr. Poff explained that the thirteen was requested to allow for flexibility.
Chairmen Dubois specified that the variance will be from the twenty-five foot setback
requirement, not the fifteen foot figure.
Mr. Dillon clarified that in order for the current plan to be built, Mr. Poff would need an
eleven and one-half foot variance. He has requested thirteen to allow for “wiggle room,”
but he does not intend to build into that space.
Chairmen Dubois requested another motion.
Mr. Dillon requested that the motion be repeated for the purpose of clarity.
Mr. Gresham reiterated his motion that the variance be granted as requested, with the
option for the applicant to not utilize the entire variance. Mr. Sellers seconded that
motion.
Ayes: Dubois, Copenhaver, Gresham, Eanes, Sellers

APPLICANTS’ REQUEST
Request of Jeffrey M. & Kathleen A. Shelton, property owners, for a variance from Section 106-
202.3(B)(1), minimum setback requirements, of the Code of the City of Salem, to allow the
construction of a pergola/future sunroom addition in the rear yard of 2113 Mountain Avenue
(Tax Map # 213-3-1). Section 106-202.3(B)(1) states that the rear setback shall be twenty-five
feet (25’). The petitioner is therefore requesting a variance of five (5) feet of rear setback.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2113 Mountain Avenue is located within the RSF Residential Single-Family zoning district.
The property is comprised of 0.52 acres, and possesses a unique situation in regard to the
orientation of the house on the lot. While the house is “facing” what appears to be Mountain
Avenue, the right-of-way actually terminates at the property line of 2113 Mountain Avenue.
As a result, the remaining portion of that road is not right-of-way, but rather private property.
The City of Salem’s zoning ordinance establishes the front yard as “A yard between the
building line and the street right-of-way extending across the full width of the lot.” This
definition, along with the others prescribed in Section 106-600, create the situation in which
the “front” of the house is actually facing the side yard. This renders the addition to be in the
rear yard of the property which requires a twenty-five foot setback for primary structures.
The applicant is seeking a five-foot rear-yard setback variance to accommodate the
construction of a concrete pad/pergola which may eventually accommodate a sunroom.
RELEVANT EXCERPTS FROM ZONING ORDINANCE
Sec. 106-600. Definitions.
Yard, front. A yard between the building line and the street right-of-way extending
across the full width of the lot.
