• This Department has no record of any past or pending zoning violations having been filed, with
respect to the property; and the undersigned is unaware of any violations of the applicable
• portions of the Zoning Ordinance. To determine whether the property has any unresolved
building violations and/or complaints, please contact Mr. John Trenary, Building Official, with
the Frederick County Inspections Department (540)665-5650.
• Currently there are three approved site plans (Site Plan #15-82, revised #15-82, and #11-98) for
the properties.
• The properties are currently in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, with the exceptions noted
below in relation to the ALTA survey.
• A listing of allowable uses in the M1 — Light Industrial District, is attached.
Additionally, we are in receipt of Greenway Engineering's ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey for
All Points Warehousing, Cole Lane, dated December 19, 2007. In reviewing the survey, there
appears to be a few building setback issues that affect the existing buildings. Below is an
overview of the issues identified by the ALTA survey, and the corresponding resolution.
Resolution of the issues is overcome by one of two measures: (1) grandfathered status (legally
nonconforming) based on previously approved Site Plan #15-82 (September 16, 1982), and its
revision (September 12, 1983); or (2) acquisition of a variance from Board of Zoning Appeals.
The Site Plan approved September 16, 1982 established a 37 foot building setback from the Cole
Lane right-of-way. The revised Site Plan approved September 12, 1983, established the northern
boundary setbacks of 16 feet, and the eastern boundary setbacks of 15 feet.
167 Cole Lane. Road setback is legally nonconforming based on Site Plan #15-82.
185 Cole Lane. Road setback is legally nonconforming based on Site Plan #15-82.
Additionally, via Zoning Administrator interpretation, it has been determined that the
encroachment is appropriate.
193 Cole Lane. Northern and Eastern property line set is legally nonconforming based on
revised Site Plan #15-82 (revised 9/12/1983). Western property line setback violation may be
resolved with a Lot Consolidation or a variance obtained from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
187, 189, and 191 Cole Lane. Western property line setback violation may be resolved if a
variance is obtained from the Board of Zoning Appeals or with a lot consolidation.
