10/19/99
VARIANCE #07-99
SATIAN ENTERPRISES, INC.
LOCATION: The property is located at 122 Atoka Drive (Lot 24, Saratoga Meadows Subdivision).
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Shawnee
PROPERTY ID NUMBER: 65G-1-24
PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RP (Residential Performance) District; Land use - Residential
(unoccupied)
ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RP (Residential Performance), Uses:
Residential and Vacant
VARIANCE: 3.8 -foot front yard setback variance for an existing, attached two -car garage.
REASON FOR VARIANCE: See attached letter from Arthur Satian dated August 19, 1999.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Within the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District, the required front yard setback is 35 feet from
the road right-of-way. The existing dwelling was constructed with an attached two -car garage that is
located 31.2 feet from the Atoka Lane right-of-way. Therefore, a variance of 3.8 feet has been requested.
The subject property does not appear to be affected by any extraordinary conditions or features that
would preclude conformance with all applicable setback standards. Indeed, the developer obtained
zoning approval of a building permit on April 30, 1998 to construct a dwelling on the parcel. The
building site plan submitted with the permit application (dated April 27, 1998) indicated that the dwelling
would satisfy all setback requirements. In particular, the dwelling was approved to be located 35.9 feet
from the Atoka Lane right-of-way. This provided setback was also clearly stated on the approved
building permit.
The house location survey submitted with this variance request (dated August 10, 1999) indicates that
the footprint of the constructed dwelling does not correspond with the specifications identified on the
approved building permit. According to the applicant, the layout of the dwelling was changed to
facilitate the relocation of the garage for aesthetic purposes. However, this design modification occurred
without a corresponding change in the orientation of the dwelling on the property, which subsequently
Variance #07-99, Satian Enterprises, Inc.
Page 2
September 13, 1999
resulted in the encroachment of the garage into the required front setback.
The decision to modify the layout of the dwelling should have been followed by submission of a revised
building site plan for review and approval. Such action is required to ensure that a proposed revision
complies with all codes relative to building design and site layout. In this case, the developer failed to
pursue approval of the layout modification through the Building Official, which precluded Planning
Department review of setback conformance.
It is important to note that the applicant was required to complete a structural location survey to confirm
that the stakeout location of the dwelling conformed with applicable setback requirements. In
accordance with Section 165-23H(3) of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, such a survey is
required prior to approval of the footings for a structure when its proposed location is five (5) feet or
less from any minimum setback. The approved building permit indicated that the dwelling would be
constructed .9' from the front setback. The required survey was completed and the footings were
subsequently approved consistent with the information delineated on the aforementioned building permit.
The decision to change the layout of the dwelling occurred after completion of this survey thereby
accounting for the inability of County staff to discover and prevent the subject encroachment prior to
construction.
In summary, the subject encroachment occurred due to the developer's decision to reverse the layout of
the dwelling without revision of the approved building permit and following completion of the required
stakeout survey. Therefore, the developer created a self-imposed hardship through their neglect of the
established building permit process. It does appear possible to resolve the existing violation without the
requested variance by modifying the dimensions of the attached garage. Specifically, the 3.8' portion of
the structure that extends into the required front setback could be removed, which would result in a
garage length equivalent to that of the dwelling itself. The reduced size of the garage would neither
prohibit its use nor preclude the reasonable use of the property for residential purposes.
STAFF CONCLUSION:
The Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309(2) states that no variance shall be authorized by the board
unless it finds that a) strict application of the Ordinance would produce an undue hardship approaching
confiscation; b) that such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district
and the same vicinity, and; c) 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.
Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance does not satisfy the aforementioned criteria. Indeed,
the subject property involves no extraordinary feature or condition that would preclude conformance
with all applicable setback standards. Furthermore, to strictly apply the setback standards in this case
would not produce a hardship approaching confiscation of the property. As was previously noted, the
dimensions of the structure could be modified without eliminating either the functional use of the garage
or the reasonable use of the property.

Dear Board Members:
We hired the services of Marsh & Legge Land Surveyors, P.L.C.
to prepare the building site plan and stakeout the home on the
property. After preparing the building site plan, Marsh & Legge
notified us that we additionally need a site grading plan and
referred us to Painter and Lewis Professional Engineers. Painter
and Lewis prepared the site grading plan and presented it to us.
We asked that the home be reversed for aesthetic reasons. The
changes were made and the plan submitted to Frederick County for
approval. Approval was obtained and we began construction. As
required by Frederick County, prior to installing the footers Marsh
& Legge was contacted and asked to complete the first set back
survey. They completed the form, certified it and submitted it.
We proceeded with construction of the home. When the house neared
completion, Marsh & Legge was contacted to complete the second set
back survey required by Frederick County. It was after getting the
results of second survey when we were notified that the home was
built past the front building restriction line.
We found that Marsh & Legge completed the stakeout immediately
after they prepared the preliminary building site plan. After
changes were made to the site plan, apparently the house stakeout
was not corrected.
To tear down the front of the garage, being the portion within
the thirty-five (35) foot set back line, would be expensive, would
reduce the useability of the garage and would be unattractive.
To permit the authorization would not be substantially
detrimental to the adjacent properties. As the house is on a lot
on a cul-de-sac, the house already sits back further than the other
houses. As a consequence, the character of the area would not
change by granting the variance.
Sincerely yours,
SATIAN ENTERPRISES, INC.

VARIANCE #08-99
KAREN B. BARRETT
LOCATION: The property is located at 122 Ian Court.
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Opequon
PROPERTY ID NUMBER: 86D-3-2-41
PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RP (Residential Performance) District;
Land use - Residential
ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RP (Residential Performance);
Uses: Residential and Vacant
VARIANCE: 8 -foot rear yard setback variance for an existing deck.
REASON FOR VARIANCE: The applicant states that the deck was accidently constructed
beyond the building restriction line.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Within the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District, the required rear yard setback is 25 feet
from the property line. The existing deck was constructed 17 feet from the rear building restriction
line; therefore, a variance of eight feet has been requested. The deck was constructed without a
building permit.
The subject property does not appear to be affected by any extraordinary conditions or features that
would preclude conformance with all applicable setback standards. The developer obtained zoning
approval for a building permit on June 10, 1996 to construct a dwelling on the parcel. This permit
indicates a rear setback of 27 feet.
Frederick County Inspections Department records indicate that the deck attached to the rear of the
home was not included with the dwelling permit. The Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code
states that a permit is required when constructing, enlarging, altering, repairing, or demolishing a
building or structure. The applicant neglected to obtain such a permit for the deck, thereby creating

the possibility for the setback encroachment, which would have otherwise been detected during the
zoning review process. It is important to note that the applicant in this case was the developer of the
property.
STAFF CONCLUSION:
The Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309(2) states that no variance shall be authorized by the board
unless it finds that a) strict application of the Ordinance would produce an undue hardship
approaching confiscation; b) that such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same
zoning district and the same vicinity, and, c) 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.
Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance does not satisfy the aforementioned criteria. As
stated, the subject property involves no extraordinary feature or condition that would preclude
conformance with all applicable setback standards. Furthermore, to strictly apply the setback
standards in this case would not produce a hardship approaching confiscation of the property. The
absence of a deck does not eliminate either the functional use of the residence or the reasonable use
of the property.
