VARIANCE REQUESTED: The applicants are requesting a five foot left side yard variance.
REASON FOR VARIANCE: Existing basement steps extend into side yard setback
Variance Request #10 -05, Harry and Ruth Newman
May 6, 2005
Page 2
STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant was cited for violating the building setback requirements for
the RP (Residential Performance); the side setback is five (5) feet over the required side setback line.
The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance requires building setbacks for the RP zoning district to be:
Front 35'; Sides 10'; Rear 25'. The steps and wall on the left side of the dwelling are
encroaching five (5) feet over the setback line. The permit holder was required to have two (2)
survey reports.
Section 165 -23 H (1) Frederick County Zoning Ordinance provides the survey location requirements
for primary structures. It states that: "A surveyor licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall
establish the location of any primary structure that is five feet or less from any minimum setback
requirement Exhibit "A" is the building permit with the minimum setbacks written by the Zoning
Administrator and a copy of the final subdivision plat with the setbacks. This was submitted with the
building permit. Exhibit "B" is a copy of is a sealed survey setback report showing the left setback
as 11.0 feet, where the proposed house will be located. Exhibit "C" is a copy of the final house
location survey with plat that depicts the house location. The building setbacks on this survey show
the left side as setback 11.1 feet.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE MAY 17, 2005 MEETING: 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; 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.
The applicant should have constructed the dwelling within the proposed setbacks indicated on the
recorded plat and building permit. Since the applicant did not situate the dwelling within the
proposed setbacks, consistent with the information submitted with the recorded plat and building
permit, the subject front setback violation and subsequent variance application resulted. The
applicant's failure to accurately construct a dwelling according to the information submitted on the
recorded plat and building permit does not constitute a hardship. Therefore, denial of this variance
would be justified as the applicant has not met the requirements of Section 15.2 -2309 (2) of Code of
Virginia.

To Whom It May Concern:
This application is a formal request for a "variance" from Frederick County to allow the
existing basement steps at the above address to remain in their current location. This is an
"extraordinary" situation that we and the County find ourselves in.
Reference the Department of Planning and Development letter, dated February 28, 2005,
RE: 115 Maverick Court; Property Identification Number (PIN): 76 -1 -3 -160 Zoning
District: RP (Residential Performance). This letter notified us of the building code
violation by the basement steps of our recently constructed and purchased new home
extending into the County- required "side -yard setback We do not dispute the fact that
the basement steps are in violation, now that this has been brought to our attention.
Having now reviewed the code restrictions, the steps obviously do not meet the County
requirements, however, it must be noted that the walls of the steps are an integral part of
the basement structure of the house, as built originally. This is a newly constructed home
we bought in November 2003. We have lived in this home since and have made no
changes to the outside of the home since moving in, and it is very disconcerting to be
notified of this violation at this time (some 15 months after purchase and required
Frederick County inspections), knowing that Frederick County issued a building permit
for the construction by Eagle Place Industries and also issued an occupancy permit,
allowing us to close on the house and to occupy it.
It must be noted that there was never a "complaint" from anyone regarding this issue, as
the above referenced letter states. There was not even a concern expressed by a neighbor
or anyone else in the neighborhood. The violation was noticed by the Department of
Planning and Development on the Housing Location Topographic Survey (on file at
the County Offices) while reviewing county documents while addressing a neighbors
question regarding HIS property. The County has had this documentation on file since the
Building Permit was issued (site survey, etc), and the House Location and Topographic
Survey (attached) was filed with the deed. One would think that a proper review of this
documentation along with proper inspections earlier would have revealed the violation
1
well before the occupancy certificate was issued in November 2003. This clearly was not
done.
Our neighbors most affected by this violation (the basement steps are on their side of the
property), Karen and Gary Shipp, have indicated with their letter, attached, that they have
no issues with the basement steps in their current location, nor the issuance of a
"variance" allowing this. Obviously then, this requested "variance" would not be a
detriment to this adjacent property, and it would rectify a serious County inspection
mistake.
The following facts justify the approval of this "variance
The Building Permit #523 -2003) was issued by Frederick County on April 24, 2003 (a
copy is attached along w/ County documentation). I can only assume that this action went
through the proper process at the Department of Planning and Development, to include a
Final Site Plan approval. There were also many on -site inspections (as one would expect)
of the house during construction, as evidenced by documentation in your County office (a
copy is attached). There was also a "Setback Report" filed with the County by Marsh and
Legge Surveyors, dated 21 March 2003 (a copy is attached). The Final Certificate of
Occupancy inspection by the County was accomplished on November 10, 2003 (a copy is
attached). This allowed us to close on the property on November 18, 2003 and move in
the next day.
It is important to note that the walls for the basement steps that are in violation of code by
being too close to the property line, are part of the "poured" basement itself. We did not
add the steps to the house following the purchase. In this regard, the house is today, as we
purchased it, as new, in November 2003. Please see the attached photographs of the
outside basement steps for a visual understanding of the situation. One can clearly see
that the step walls are part of the poured foundation.
It was mentioned at one of our meetings with the Department of Planning and
Development Office that the referenced "side yard setback" codes are there for a purpose,
such as a fence put up by our neighbor could block our access to the basement steps. We
understand the issues involved here, however, it should be pointed out that Article VII
Use Restrictions and Covenants of Canter Estates Homeowners Association, Para 5, Page
15. (I will have a copy at the BZA hearing) clearly states that, "No fence or hedge shall
be constructed or planted in the front, nor along the side of any residence As
you can determine from the attached photos, no fence or hedge on the adjacent property
would impact these basement steps if positioned appropriately and according to the
community restrictions.
If I am forced to correct the oversights by the builder, surveyor and Frederick County
inspections, it would be very costly and certainly an undue hardship. An estimate is
attached for $9,500. Note that the steps can not be simply "turned" toward the back of the
house to be in compliance. First, there does not appear to be sufficient room (between the
house and the property line) to do that, and secondly, the gas line to the house would be
2
in the way. The basement steps would have to be moved to another location, thereby
requiring another entrance to the basement and the closure of the existing entrance.
Obviously this would also be very disruptive, not to speak of having to invade the
structural integrity of the existing basement wall. That is never good. The risk of
adequately sealing the current opening is monumental. The risk in adequately invading
the structural integrity of the basement wall in another location is also considerable. Both
could easily result in a very leaky basement due to poor drainage around the outside of
the basement walls and potentially very expensive to correct.
We, as residents of the Frederick County, must (and do) depend and rely on the County to
protect us (through the required inspections) in the purchase of a new home by ensuring
the various codes covering construction are met by the builder surveyors. As the
Frederick County "Site Plan Application Package" clearly states on Page 5, in Paragraph
6, "Final Certificate of Occupancy: The inspection is
necessary to ensure that all requirements shown on the approved site are completed.
And clearly (as stated earlier) there were a number of inspections leading up to
this final inspection for occupancy that should have detected this violation, including the
final inspection. This is clearly what we would have expected from the County
inspectors. Now we are realistic enough to know and understand that mistakes can and
are made, however, it appears the County is now holding us, the current owners,
responsible for correcting a costly code violation that we depended on the County to
ensure were not there to start with (just as County documents state, it is the County's
responsibility). This is very much unfair and just plain wrong. Both Mr. Beniamino and
Mr. Cheran of the Frederick County Department of Planning and Development Office
agreed that this violation "...should have been caught during the various inspections 1
certainly agree with their assessment. Regardless what an inspector does or fails to do, or
who the County depends upon for information (the builder and/or surveyor), the County
should be responsible for its mistakes. If a Frederick County resident can not depend on
his county to ensure the various building codes are met during construction, then why
does the county have the requirement for the county inspections in the first place? Also,
Mr. Beniamino and Mr. Cheran both told me the County depends on the surveyor to be
correct in his survey as a certified surveyor (by the State of Virginia). It certainly appears
that in this case the surveyor placed the house and steps correctly on the plat (and was
properly filed with the County), and the County simply missed what we were told the
County depends on to properly address compliance of the building codes. It would appear
that the plat was not even looked at until over a year after the house was built and sold.
We acquired this property in good faith, depending on Frederick County to conduct the
proper inspections to "ensure that all requirements shown on the approved site are
complete We have made no changes to the house that caused this violation of the
required setback. The walls of the steps were and are an integral part of the basement
wall construction. This is clearly an instance of an extraordinary situation condition.
Mistakes are made by all of us, but none of us should be made to pay for those mistakes
of others. Authorization of this requested "variance" would certainly not change the
character of the district nothing would be changed from the current state by the
3
issuance of this variance. Keep in mind also that no one has complained about the
situation of the basement steps extending into the required side yard setback, and there is
no detriment to the adjacent property as evidenced by the attached letter from the
adjacent property owner.
Also attached for your reference is a map to the site location for attachment to the
application for appeal.
Thank you for your consideration of this request for "variance" on our property.

To Whom It May Concern:
We have been made aware of a property violation notice for our neighbors, Ruth and
Harry Newman 115 Maverick Court; Property Identification Number (PIN): 768 -1 -3-
160. The issue, as we understand it, is that the property's basement steps extend into the
County's required side yard setback. Reference the Department of Planning and
Development Office letter to the Newman's, dated February 28, 2005.
This letter is to inform the BZA that we have no issue with the current location of the
referenced basement steps of the Newman home. Other then insuring that if we should
sell our home at 113 Maverick Court and expand our existing garage to the legal setback
limits that there will be no conflicts in doing so. This is not something they added since
moving into the newly constructed home, but rather the way it was built when they
purchased the home.
The location of the steps does not adversely impact our property, and we support the
Newman's appeal and request for a "variance allowing the existing structure to remain.
