BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS HEARING DATE:
April 20, 2004 - Action Pending
LOCATION: Canter Estates, Section 3, Phase 1, Lot 248, at the intersection of Clydesdale Drive
and Lariat Court.

VARIANCE REQUESTED: The applicant is requesting a 7.1 foot front yard (from Clydesdale
Drive) variance for an attached stairs, stoops and porch.
REASON FOR VARIANCE: The attached porch with two stoops was not apparent to the surveyor
in computing the house stakeout because the porch was built on piers and was not part of the
structural footing detail. The primary living space is well within all setback requirements; however,
the covered porch encroaches into the setback area.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The final subdivision plats establishing Lot 248 in Section 3, Phase 1 of Canter Estates, were
approved on November 12, 2002. Valley Building Systems received zoning approval for a single-
family home building permit (#946-03) on May 6, 2003, as illustrated by "Exhibit "A". As part of
the permit process, the permit applicant indicated the proposed setbacks for the dwelling to be
constructed. Lot 248 is a corner lot and requires two front setbacks. The permit applicant indicated
proposed setbacks of 56.18.' front (along Lariat Court), 38.86' left/other front (along Clydesdale
Drive) side, 20.43' right side, and 25.97' feet in the rear.
The Zoning Ordinance §165-23H(1) 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."
The setbacks for a single-family dwelling in the RP Zoning District on this lot size are 35' for both
fronts, 10' side, and 25' feet rear (§ 165-65C). "Exhibit B" is a copy of the foundation plan that
apparently depicts the piers and beam specifications for a porch. "Exhibit C" is the first setback
report submitted by Greenway Engineering which verifies the footing foundation location. This
setback report did not appear to reflect the existence of the porch feature. The variance applicant has
indicated that after the footing foundation was located and construction began on the dwelling, the
porch features were added and were subsequently constructed in a location that exceeded the
minimum front setbacks. The applicant submitted a house location survey labeled "Exhibit D",
which illustrates the existing location of the dwelling and front setback encroachment. The portion
of the porch constructed into the front setback is the reason for the variance request.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE APRIL 20, 2004 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 accurately indicated the proposed setbacks on the building permit. Since
the applicant did not situate the dwelling within the proposed setbacks, the subject front setback
violation and subsequent variance application resulted. The applicant constructed a dwelling in a
location not consistent with the information submitted with the building permit. The applicant's
failure to provide accurate setback information at the time a building permit was sought does not
constitute a hardship. Therefore, denial of this variance may be justified.

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 August 20, 2002.
PRESENT: James Larrick, Jr., Chairman, Gainesboro District; Thomas Malcolm, (representing
Shawnee .District);Dudley Rinker, Back Creek District; Lennie Mather, Red Bud
District Robert Perry, Stonewall District; Theresa Catlett, Opequon District and
Robert W. Wells, Member -At -Large
STAFF
PRESENT: Patrick T. Davenport, Zoning Administrator; Carol Huff, BZA Secretary
---------------
CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Larrick at 3:25. p.m.
July 16, 2002 MINUTES
The minutes for the July 16, 2002 meeting were approved by unanimous vote after a
motion by Mr. Perry and a second by Mr. Wells.
PUBLIC HEARING
ACTION - APPROVED
, Mr. Davenport presented the background information and explained that when the
building permit was obtained, a setback survey was not required based on the layout the builder
presented. The single family dwelling that is the subject of the application was constructed in a
location that would have required a setback survey if the initial layout had shown that. Since the
applicant constructed the dwelling in a manner that was not consistent with the layout presented on
the building permit., denial of this variance would be justified.
Mr. Wells asked what constitutes a hardship in this case, and what would the
consequence be if the application was denied.
Mr. Davenport replied that "making a mistake" does not constitute a hardship and that
if the variance was denied, the house would have to be modified to meet the setbacks.
Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals
Minutes of July 16, 2002 Minutes Book Page 1154
Board members discussed the scenario that some of these types of situations may be
done with idea that once the house is completed, surely the BZA would not require them to destroy
it.
Chairman Larrick recommended that they continue by opening the public portion of
the hearing.
Mr. Darren Foltz, of Greenway Engineering, was present to represent Manning & Ross
Builders, Inc. Mr. Greg Bancroft, Vice President of Manning & Ross Builders, Inc. was also present
to answer any questions.
Mr. Foltz told the Board that Greenway Engineering had done all of the survey work
for Manning & Ross Builders in the Sovereign Village Subdivision, and they had not had problems
until now. He said they believe that a subcontractor may have "adjusted a few things on the lot" and
that's how the mistake was made. When asked to clarify that statement, Mr. Foltz said that they think
a subcontractor disregarded the stakes that were in the field.
Board members asked how an eight -foot mistake could have been made, and at what
point the building permit was obtained. Mr. Foltz stated that the house plan was "flipped" which
resulted in reverse setbacks.
Further discussion ensued regarding who was responsible for changing the original
layout of the house, why had no one taken responsibility to make sure the house was placed the way
it was supposed to be, and whether this really was a mistake or was perhaps done intentionally to
increase the profit margin. Questions were presented regarding the `envelope' of the house and why
flipping the design would create a change in the envelope.
Mr. Bancroft came to the podium and told the Board that he thought what happened
in this case was that someone may have run over the stake. He stated that he has built several hundred
homes in this area and this was the first time he had ever been in front of the Board of Zoning
Appeals. Mr. Bancroft acknowledged Mr. Wells' earlier comment on contractors disregarding
setbacks on purpose but assured the Board that this was not the case. He admitted that an error had
been made. He stated that in the future, if they do both the building restriction lines and have the
automatic setback report, that will help when they pour the footers or build the wall. Mr. Bancroft
said that he has seen builders purposely disregard setbacks but reiterated that they had not done that.
Questions were raised as to how long Mr. Bancroft had been building houses in this
area, who obtained the building permit, when was it discovered that a mistake had been made, and
how many houses in the subdivision were set up so as to require a setback survey. Several Board
members expressed their displeasure at the Board's being put in the position of being "the heavy" and
needing to approve or disapprove something that was clearly someone else's mistake.
Several more questions were posed as to why the plans were changed [flipped] after
the building permit had been obtained and whether anything could be done to prevent this from
happening in the future.
There was no one present to speak against the variance request.
DISCUSSION
Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals
Minutes of July 16, 2002 2 Minutes Book Page 1155
Chairman Larrick told the Board that he was impressed with the fact that Mr.
Bancroft's company had built hundreds of houses and this was the first time they had been before the
Board of Zoning Appeals.
Mr. Davenport said that anyone, whether they be from the public or a building firm,
etc. could submit a letter to the Planning Department or Development Review and Regulations
Subcommittee requesting stricter setback survey requirements.
There was some further concern regarding possible legal ramifications that could occur
if the Board reaches the point of "enough is enough" and actually denies one of these requests. The
concern was that they will have to hear about all of the other ones that were previously approved.
Chairman Larrick pointed out that the Virginia Supreme Court is very clear on this
point and has ruled that each case is handled on a case -by -case basis and a decision on one case does
not set a precedent for future cases.
The Board's consensus on this application was that it did not appear to be intentional
malfeasance; however, a very stern warning was issued to Mr. Bancroft to not appear before the
Board again with a request like this.
On a motion made by Mr. Malcolm and seconded by Mr. Wells, Variance #13-02 was
approved. The vote was unanimous; however, it is noted for the record that the decision was arrived
at with `great prejudice.'
There being no further business at hand, the meeting adjourned at 4:25 p.m. by
unanimous vote.
Respectfully submitted,
James Larrick, Jr., Chairman
Carol I. Huff, Secretary
Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals
