The Board of Zoning Appeals approved your application for a 25' height variance to construct a church. If you have any questions regarding the approval of this application, please feel free to call this office. S'nc ine V4e-1- W. WMiller Zoning Administrator WWM/dre 107 North Kent Street P.O. Box 601 Winchester, VA 22601 Winchester, VA 22604 0' 0 BZA REVIEW DATE: 05/16/95 VARIANCE #005-95 LEWIS & ASSOCIATES LOCATION: This property is located at the intersection of North Frederick Pike (Route 522) and Cross Junction Road (Route 693). MAGISTERIAL .DISTRICT: Gainesboro PROPERTY ID NUMBER: 19-A-13B PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RA (Rural Area); Land Use - vacant ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoning -RA (Rural Area); Land Use - residential, vacant, and agricultural VARIANCE: A 25' height variance from the allowed 35' maximum height requirement. REASON FOR VARIANCE: The applicant wishes to construct a church that will include handicap access from the ground floor, a main sanctuary of the' first floor, a balcony area on the second floor, and a rising peak roof. The design of the church can not be accommodated in a structure limited to 35 feet in height. STAFF COMMENTS: The height limitations within RA (Rural Area), Zoning District is 35 feet. In this case, the applicant wishes to construct a church that includes a mezzanine and an open peaked roof. The height of the proposed building is 56 feet from the basement level to the peak of the roof. The Planning Staff has consulted with the County's Inspections Department and the Department of Fire and Rescue about any problems that the additional height may cause. The Inspections Department stated that the additional height was not a concern provided they meet building code regulations. The Department of Fire and Rescue stated their concerns have been adequately addressed by the architect in the building design (see attached letter). 9 Page 2 Lewis Assoc. Variance Although the additional height of the proposed church would not cause negative effects on the surrounding property, the applicant has not presented a case of undue hardship. An alternative design could be drafted to meet the required 35' height requirement as specified by the Code of Frederick County. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends denial. �ZCR t 0 COUNTY OF FREDERICK, VIRGINIA FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT 9 N. Loudoun Street, 2nd Floor Winchester, Virginia 22601 Thomas W. Owens Director TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: M E M O R A N D U M Jean Moore, Planner Douglas A. Kiracofe, Fire Redland U.M.C. May 9, 1995 G� Marsh 1 i Douglas A. Kiracofe Fire Marshal On April 26, 1995, I met with the architect and members of Redland United Methodist Church regarding their request for a height variance in an RA Zone. The concern the fire department has about building heights is our ability to rescue persons with ladders and the ability to ventilate a structure by "opening up" the roof. Typically, our engine companies can effectively operate to heights of 28' to 30' with the ground ladders they carry on their apparatus. Beyond that, an aerial ladder is required for rescue and ventilation. The proposed church building for Redland U.M.C. will only be occupied one story above grade access so the fire department's ability to make immediate rescue is not a concern. To facilitate ventilation, the architect is going to incorporate automatic smoke vents in each end of the building at the apex of the roof at the highest level of the roof. These vents will either be activated by smoke detectors or can be manually opened from the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FAC) located in the main lobby area, by fire dept. personnel. The structure could then be ventilated via "positive pressure" fans placed at the grade level. Further, the church members said that there will be adequate access for a ladder truck on three sides of the building if it were necessary to deploy such a piece of apparatus on an incident at this facility. The Fire and Rescue Dept. is very supportive of the 30' height restriction in the RA Zone as it allows us to address taller structures on a case by case basis. DIRECTOR - (703) 665-5618 FIRE MARSHAL - (703) 665-6350 FAX - (703) 678-0682 Memorandum May 9, 1995 Page 2 In this instance, the owners and designers have adequately addressed the concerns our department have about a 60' structure so we support their request for a height variance. Items such as fire lanes and emergency vehicle access will be addressed on the site plan when that stage of the process is submitted for review. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
