The Lago Mar Civic League Board has unanimously voted to OPPOSE the appeal and variance request brought by the owners of 2221 Vadito Way, Virginia Beach, VA 23456 to use a pool house as a dwelling unit (i.e. Bed and Breakfast, Short term rental, Airbnb). WE ARE ASKING YOU, OUR NEIGHBORS TO HAVE A VOICE TOO. THIS CAN DECREASE OUR PROPERTY VALUES AND THE INTERGRETY OF OUR BELOVED NEIGHBORHOOD.
The Lago Mar neighborhood is in the R-15 Residential District. Attached Dwellings, Duplex Dwellings and Semidetached Dwellings are prohibited in this Residential District. Further, detached guest houses are not allowed as an accessory use or structure in the R-15 Residential District.
Our concern here is the negative impact already occurring in the neighborhood, including increased traffic, speeding, event parties and potential safety concerns to our neighbors. Please join us by signing this petition to let all parties know that we, the neighbors insist that the Virginia Beach City Ordinances be upheld and our neighborhood is protected.
There will be a Public Hearing on October 4 at 2:00. We will be posting updates on our website. www.lagomarcivicleage.com.

I was just staring at the map of signatures and honestly it is overwhelming to see how many of us are willing to protect the quiet of Lago Mar. It feels like the tide is turning and people are finally seeing why this variance is such a bad idea for our streets. Keep talking to your neighbors because the energy right now is exactly what we need to show those guys at city hall that we are serious.

Sorry to the person seeking this variance, but I fell this proposal, if approved, will lead to other similar actions which could change the unique flavor of Lago Mar, and culminate in an unsavory situation for all residents. Too much has been accomplished over the decades to allow for this to occur. I feel confident that this proposal will not be approved.
We strongly oppose this variance per the previously stated reasons....our (or any) neighborhood is no place for a "recreation / party" center - especially located BEHIND someone's home.
I moved from the resort area to raise young kids in a neighborhood setting. Having nightly/weekly rentals in this type of neighborhood is not appropriate. Neither is separate residential houses on the same lot concerning the price and type of neighborhood due to its current zoning.
Agreed! We have an airb&b with high turnover, operating like a mini-hotel across the street from family homes. That is what this situation is, and why it is opposed.
Mother in law suites are one thing, renting to 2 and 3 couples every weekend and during the week is another..........
Listen I love Ron brooks the man that man saved me when I was talking to him that man is the most generous man I’ve ever met I hope he has a lovely wife otherwise some lucky lady will snatch him up and marry him
Listen let me party I love to party
