The Accomack Board of Zoning Appeals convened on August 6, 2025, to discuss a special use permit application for a business located in the agricultural zoning district. The applicant, Robert Buescher, is seeking approval for a business situated on approximately 2 acres at 121 Bradford's Neck Road, which lies between Watchprige and Quimby.

The meeting began with a presentation detailing the property’s zoning and future land use, both classified as agricultural. It was noted that the structures on the property have been utilized for business purposes, making this an after-the-fact application. The property is not located within a Resource Protection Area (RPA) and is also outside of flood zones, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Visual aids were presented, including photographs of the property from various angles and a site plan that was previously approved during the construction of one of the buildings. The board reviewed the site plan and discussed the implications of granting the special use permit, considering the historical use of the structures for business activities.

The meeting focused on the necessary considerations for special use permits, emphasizing the importance of adhering to zoning regulations while accommodating business development in agricultural areas. Further discussions on the application will follow as the board evaluates the potential impact on the community and the environment.

In conclusion, the board's deliberations on this special use permit reflect ongoing efforts to balance agricultural zoning with business interests in Accomack County. The next steps will involve further review and potential approval of the application in upcoming meetings.
