Volunteer Opportunity - Board of Zoning Appeals

The Town is currently accepting volunteer application forms for the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA).  There is one opening on this Board.

  BZA members are appointed by the Circuit Court Judge to serve a five year term upon Town Council recommendation.  The BZA has no set meeting schedule, but rather they meet on an as-needed basis.  The BZA conducts public hearings when an applicant requests a variance from the requirements of the zoning ordinance.  Variances may only be granted when the applicant can demonstrate the following:

1)  That the strict application of the zoning ordinance in question would produce an undue hardship.

2)  That such hardship is not shared generally by all other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity.

3)  That the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and that the character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance.

Self-inflicted hardship, whether deliberately or ignorantly incurred, affords no basis for the granting of a variance.

The BZA also hears cases in which an applicant challenges the determination of the Zoning Administrator on zoning related issues.

    If you have questions about this opportunity, please feel free to contact Chad Neese at 740-3432.  All interested parties are encouraged to apply.  Volunteer applications may be downloaded by clicking below, or obtained at the Town Office, 9418 John Sevier Road.  Completed applications may be turned in at the Town Office or mailed to Chad Neese, P. O. Box 58, New Market, VA 22844.  Deadline for applications is Friday, February24th, 2012.

Volunteer Opportunity - Historic Overlay District Review Board

The Town is currently accepting volunteer application forms for the Historic Overlay District Review Board.  There are two openings for this Board.  The Historic Overlay District Review Board is made up of seven members (1 staff member, 3 residents of town, and 3 owners of property within the historic overlay district, who may, but need not be residents of the town).  The Board is appointed by Town's Council to 3 year terms.  The Board is in charge of reviewing all plans that will significantly change the exterior appearance of buildings located within the Historic Overlay Distric which is predominantly on Congress Street from Stonewall Street to Lee Highway but also includes the New Market Battlefield.  The Board is to encourage all construction projects to be compatible with the Town's historic character and to promote the historic areas for the education, pleasure and welfare of the citizens of the town as well as tourists.  While similar, the current Board is not charged with architectural review regulations that are enforceable as in other communities. 

    The Historic Overlay District Review Board does not have a set meeting date; rather they meet as applications are received.  Most meetings are held at 5:30 p.m. in the Conference Room of the Town Office.

    If you have questions about either of these opportunities, please feel free to contact Chad Neese at 740-3432.  All interested parties are encouraged to apply.  Volunteer applications may be downloaded by clicking below, or obtained at the Town Office, 9418 John Sevier Road.  Completed applications may be turned in at the Town Office or mailed to Chad Neese, P. O. Box 58, New Market, VA 22844.  Deadline for applications is Tuesday, January 31st, 2012.
