MEETING MINUTES OF THE FREDERICK COUNTY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS Held in the Board Room of the Frederick County Administration Building, 107 N. Kent Street, Winchester, Virginia, on May 19, 1998. PRESENT: James Larrick, Jr.,Vice Chairman, Gainesboro District; Theresa Catlett, Opequon District; Dudley Rinker, Back Creek District; Ralph Wakeman, Shawnee District ABSENT: Manuel Sempeles, Jr., Chairman, Stonewall District STAFF PRESENT: Michael T. Ruddy, Planner H; Carol Cameron, Secretary CALL TO ORDER In the absence of the Chairman, Vice Chairman Mr. Larrick called the meeting to order at 3:25 p.m. MINUTES OF APRIL 21, 1998 On a motion made by Mr. Rinker and seconded by Mrs. Catlett, the minutes for the April 21, 1998 meeting were unanimously approved as presented. Variance 9005-98 of Gary and Dianne DeOms for a 10 -foot side yard setback variance (north) for an addition to an existing single-family residence. This property is located at 149 Carters Lane, and is identified with Property Identification Number 74 -A -10E in the Back Creek Magisterial District. ACTION - APPROVED DISCUSSION Mr. Ruddy read the application background and the staff comments, and presented photographs of the property for the Board's review. Mr. Gary DeOms, applicant, spoke in favor of the request stating that he and his wife needed more living space. He stated that they both have elderly mothers and anticipate the need to care 2 for one or both sometime in the future. The current conditions of the home were not "handicap friendly" and they wanted to add a handicap ramp and provide living quarters. Mr. Larrick asked Mr. DeOms how long he has owned the property and whether there was a possibility that the neighbor could give them 10 feet [property line adjustment]. Mr. DeOms replied that they have owned the property since 1978, and that it was not likely that the neighbor would be willing to give them 10 extra feet due to a past disagreement involving dogs. Mr. Larrick commented that there were less restrictive zoning regulations in place in 1978. Discussion followed on various possibilities for the addition which would be in conformance with the present standards. Mrs. DeOms (Dianne), who was present but did not come to the podium, stated that other alternatives were not possible because of the roof line. Mr. DeOms added that the position of the septic tank and septic system made alternatives impossible. Mrs. DeOms said that they would prefer to have the garage next to the driveway so there wouldn't be a long way to walk. Mr. Larrick asked why the DeOms were asking for 10 feet if they really only needed nine. The feeling was that 10 feet would allow them a little leverage if they needed it after construction began. Mr. Rinker said that the suggestion in the staff comments to place the addition to the rear of the property seemed rather unreasonable. Mr. Ruddy apologized for any misunderstanding, saying that it was intended to'mean `attached to the rear of the existing building on the property.' Mrs. Catlett asked for clarification of the comment regarding building up to the setbacks but not beyond the 45 -foot vested setbacks without having to get a variance. Mr. Larrick asked Mr. DeOms how he arrived at the 41 feet to the property line (as shown drawn in on the plat) measurement, whether this was done by a surveyor or contractor? Mr. DeOms replied that he just went out and measured it. There was no one else present to speak for or against the variance request. Mr. Rinker made a motion for approval of the request for a 10 -foot side yard setback variance, based on the special needs and concerns in this case which created a medical hardship. Mr. Wakeman seconded the motion. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals does hereby approve, by unanimous vote, Variance #005-98 of Gary and Dianne DeOms for a 10 -foot side yard setback variance (north) for an addition to an existing single-family residence. Variance #006-98 of Maurice and Betty Sue McGrew for a 31 -foot side yard setback variance for ki an addition to an existing single-family residence. This property is located at 1486 Double Church Road, and is identified with Property Identification Number 8611-5-1-2 in the Opequon Magisterial District. ACTION - APPROVED DISCUSSION Mr. Ruddy read the background information and presented photographs of the property. Mr. Maurice McGrew, applicant, came forward to explain that he and his wife, Betty Sue, were requesting the variance due to chronic water problems in the basement. He stated that a great deal of money and effort has been spent over the years in an attempt to solve the water problems, but that the problems remain. (Mrs. McGrew also spoke regarding her efforts in battling the water problems; however, she did not step up to the podium.) The McGrews want to build the new addition and move everything out of the basement into the new room. Discussion followed regarding the choice of location for the addition and the various reasons for the final choice such as: the pool and storage area for pool supplies, the septic system being located 15-16 feet from the back of the house, and the fact that there is a road in front of the house. On a question from Mr. Rinker, Mr. McGrew stated that the pool was in -ground and that there was a privacy fence in place. Other discussion took place regarding the placement of the privacy fence and the alignment of the property line; Mr. McGrew stated that the original setbacks were shown on the plat as being 25 feet. Mrs. Catlett asked Mrs. McGrew if the basement was finished when she bought the house; Mrs. McGrew replied that it was but that the water started bubbling up through the floor not long afterwards and has continued through the years. Mr. Larrick asked if there was anyone else present to speak for or against the request; seeing none, he entertained motions. Mrs. Catlett moved to deny the request based on the fact that the property could still be used for residential purposes. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Rinker asked Mr. McGrew if he really needed 26 feet for the addition and if the water problem would still exist if the variance were granted. Mr. McGrew replied that for functionality and useability reasons, he felt that they did need the addition to be 26'x 26'. He said they had discussed options and variations for two to three years and there was just no other way to do it. Mrs. McGrew added that the washing machine was moved upstairs but that the dryer and freezer and refrigerator were still located in the basement. She felt that the water problems they suffer create a demonstrable hardship. A brief discussion ensued regarding quality of life, the fact that alternatives would be 2 more costly [than the addition], that it was a hardship generally shared by other property owners in the area, and that due to the shale, the McGrews probably could not obtain a perk to move the drainfield. Based on these observations, Mr. Rinker moved that the variance be approved. Mr. Larrick interjected that he felt that two feet should be taken off of the request. Mr. Rinker asked McGrew if they could live with that and he replied that they could. Mr. Rinker amended his motion to approve the variance request for 29 feet, instead of the 31 feet requested. Mr. Wakeman seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following majority vote: AYES: Mr. Rinker, Mr. Wakeman, and Mr. Larrick NAYS: Mrs. Catlett BE IT RESOLVED, that the Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals does hereby approve as amended, by majority vote, Variance #006-98 of Maurice and Betty Sue McGrew for a 29 -foot side yard setback variance for an addition to an existing single-family residence. Before the next case was heard, Mr. Rinker asked staff if, in the future, the photographs of the property could show an overlay of the proposed additions so the Board could have a better idea of the positioning and size of the addition. Staff assured the Board that this could be done. Variance #007-98 of Dorothy E. Bolyard for a 24 -foot side yard setback variance for an addition to an existing single-family residence. This property is located at 763 Jordan Springs Road, and is identified with Property Identification Number 44-A-255 in the Stonewall Magisterial District. ACTION - APPROVED DISCUSSION Mr. Ruddy read the background information and passed around photographs of the property. Mr. Larry Baker, the applicant's grandson, spoke on behalf of Dorothy E. Bolyard, the applicant. He told the Board that Mrs. Bolyard had suffered an accident and a stroke, and was unable to live alone. Mr. Baker and his wife currently care for Mrs. Bolyard but they live in a condominium on the third floor which makes handicap access extremely difficult. To simplify the care situation and because the Bakers want to start their own family, they would like to build the addition onto Mrs. k Bolyard's home and move in with her permanently. They tried buying the land next door to the Bolyard property and looked into adding an extra story to avoid having to seek a variance, but for various reasons neither option worked. Mr. Larrick asked the Board if there was any discussion. Mr. Ruddy informed the Board that one of the adjoining property owners called the Planning Department to say that although she was unable to attend the public hearing, she was in favor of the variance being granted. Discussion followed on the location and distances of the property lines and the fact that the property was located in an older neighborhood where property lines and setbacks varied. There were also questions from the Board regarding the exact amount of footage required for the addition. Mr. Larrick noted for the record that Dorothy Bolyard, applicant, was in attendance. Due to a possible conflict of interest, Mrs. Catlett asked Mrs. Bolyard where she was living today. Mr. Baker spoke on her behalf and explained that Mrs. Bolyard stays in her home during the day, then when they get off of work, they pick her up and stay with them at night. Mr. Rinker asked Mr. Baker, for clarification's sake, if the purpose of the addition was so that he and his wife could move in with Mrs. Bolyard. Mr. Baker replied that they felt this would be the best solution. Mr. Wakeman moved that, based on medical necessity, the Board approve Mrs. Bolyard's request as stated; Mrs. Catlett seconded the motion. The motion to approve the variance was passed unanimously. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals does hereby approve by unanimous vote Variance #007-98 of Dorothy E. Bolyard for a 24 -foot side yard setback variance for an addition to an existing single-family residence. Variance #008-98 of Shenandoah Sand, Inc., submitted by Simon Newlin, for a 25 -foot front yard setback variance for an existing structure and the construction of a new addition. The property is located in the Stonewall Industrial Park, and is 'identified with Property Identification Number 43- 19-6 in the Gainesboro Magisterial District. ACTION - APPROVED DISCUSSION Mr. Ruddy read the background information and passed around photographs of the site. 5i He explained that this property was unique because the front property line angles away from the existing Lenoir Drive which leaves a reduced area in which to build. He stated that this particular situation met all of the tests for approval by the Board of Zoning appeals. Mr. Simon Newlin, applicant and owner of Shenandoah Sand, Inc., explained that the old site plan was done by Greenway Engineering back in 1989, and he used that to get the building permit. Everything seemed to be in order at that time, and that's how the building got built where it is. Mr. Newlin also discussed the topography and the fact that they moved an entire hill in order to get up out of the water. He told the Board that his request was not unreasonable because he wants to build sideways, not forward. Also, the location of the building next door is actually located further to the front than the location of the proposed addition. There was no one else present to speak for or against the variance request. Seeing that this was a fairly clear-cut case, there was not much discussion other than the fact that survey standards are now in place which would prevent such a situation from occurring in the future. Mr. Rinker moved to approve the 25 -foot variance for the existing building and construction of addition for office space. Mr. Wakeman seconded the motion which passed unanimously. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals does hereby approve by unanimous vote Variance #008-98 of Shenandoah Sand, Inc., submitted by Simon Newlin, for a 25 - foot front yard setback variance for an existing structure and the construction of a new addition. ADJOURNMENT No further business remained to be discussed and the meeting was adjourned at 4:25 p.m. by unanimous consent_ Respectfully submitted, Manuel G. Sempeles, Chairman Carol I. Cameron, Secretary A:VNllNUTES119981MAY l9.BZA C� • • BZA REVIEW DATE: 6/16/98 VARIANCE #011-98 CYNTHIA D. EBERT LOCATION: The property is located at 208 Lakeridge Drive, MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Shawnee PROPERTY ID NUMBER: 75H-3-7-197 PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned: RP (Residential Performance) District; Land use - Residential ADJODMiG PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned: RP (Residential Performance) District; Land use - Residential (The Village at Lakeside) VARIANCE: 11 -foot rear yard setback variance for an addition to an existing single-family residence. REASON FOR VARIANCE: To provide above ground dry storage space. STAFF COMMENTS: Within the RP (Residential Performance) zoning district, the minimum rear yard setback for a principal structure is 25 feet. The applicant is requesting a 11' variance to place an addition onto the rear of the principal structure which would then place the principal structure 14' away from the rear property line. In this case, strict application of the zoning ordinance does not prohibit the use of the property. The property is currently being used for residential purposes. Furthermore, there appears to be sufficient space to the north side of the building in which to construct additional storage space attached to, or detached from, the existing structure. The Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309(2)(x) states that no variance shall be authorized by the board unless it finds that strict application of the ordinance would produce an undue hardship approaching confiscation. Staff believes that granting this variance would be inappropriate as a demonstrable hardship that would significantly restrict the use of the property clearly does not exist.

Additional comments, if any see_ aAO.41,0-d . Mr. Jenkins has been a tax -paying businessman fully licensed by Frederick County for years. In August, 1997, Mr. Jenkins was the subject of a complaint involving construction debris being deposited on this property. That complaint was satisfactorily resolved by Mr. Jenkins obtaining a land disturbance permit and a permit to install a temporary construction entrance from the Virginia Department of Transportation, both of which the Department of Planning and Zoning are fully aware. Mr. Jenkins has relied on the past actions of the County in general and the Department in particular in the operation of his business, Pine Knoll Construction, Inc. only to be given an extremely short period of time within which to cease business or be the subject of a criminal complaint, which is, indeed, a clearly demonstrable hardship approaching confiscaton. Moreover, there are other similar uses in the area, albeit within RA zoning. Finally, storage of vehicles on the subject property, if any, is in the nature of temporary storage.

The date of decision is April 8, 1998. The appellant is Pine Knoll Construction, Inc., of which Jeffrey G. Jenkins is Vice -President.

This letter also informed you that dumping construction debris on this property was not a by -right or a conditional use of your property. Due to a number of complaints our department has received concerning this property, I performed an inspection on March 25, 1998, at which time I spoke with you. You mentioned that you intend to construct a shop/office on this property as well as store your construction vehicles and equipment here. At your request, I discussed this situation in detail with the Zoning Administrator, Mr. Eric Lawrence, and he concurred that this would not be a by -right or conditional use of this property. I inspected your property again on April 6, 1998, at which time I observed numerous construction vehicles and equipment being stored on this property. Thus, it appears that you are indeed operating your construction company from this property, which is a violation of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. If you do not cease operating your business from this property within 30 days from the date of receipt of this letter, a criminal complaint will be filed. You may have the right to appeal this notice of zoning violation within 30 days from the date of receipt of this letter in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of the Code of Virginia. This decision shall be final and unappealable if it is not appealed within 30 days. Should you choose to appeal, the appeal must be filed with the Zoning Administrator and the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) in accordance with Article XX, Section 165-144 A.
