CAPE CHARLES, Va. — The Cape Charles Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a regular meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, to consider a variance request from local homeowner Martin Mayer for the construction of a new rear deck.
According to town documents, Mayer is seeking a variance from Article 3, Section 3.2 of the Cape Charles Zoning Ordinance to allow the proposed deck to extend 1.5 feet into the northside setback and 5 feet into the rear yard setback. The design adjustment would align the deck with that of a neighboring property.
Town staff have recommended approval of the request, noting that the application meets the criteria outlined in the section titled “Ordinance Requirements To Be Considered.” The staff report advises that the Board review the findings and approve the variance based on those considerations.
A proposed motion included in the meeting materials reads: “After careful consideration of the application and the staff report, the Board of Zoning Appeals votes to approve the Variance Application submitted by Martin Mayer for a variance to allow for a rear deck to extend 1.5 feet into the northside setback and 5 feet into the rear yard setback for the rear deck.”
The meeting is open to the public and will take place at Cape Charles Town Hall.
