Cheran, Zoning Administrator This report is prepared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide information to the Board of Zoning Appeals to assist them in making a decision on this request.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS HEARING DATE: November 20, 2007 - Pending LOCATION: The subject property is located at 521 Marple Road (Route 654), .08 miles from Route 522 north. MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Gainesboro PROPERTY ID NUMBER(S): 41 -A -117 PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoning: RA (Rural Areas) Land Use: Residential ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE: North: RA (Rural Areas) East: RA (Rural Areas) South: RA (Rural Areas) West: RA (Rural Areas) Land Use: Residential Land Use: Residential Land Use: Residential Land Use: Residential APPEAL: To appeal the determination of the Zoning Administrator in the administration of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, Section 165- 25(B), Lot Requirements. REASON FOR APPEAL: Applicant is appealing the decision of the Zoning Administrator as to the number of dwellings on a lot. Appeal Application #24 -07, Pearl Underwood November 6, 2007 Page 2 STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant was cited on September 17, 2007, by Frederick County for having two (2) dwellings located on the property at 521 Marple Road; this property had an existing dwelling prior to May of 2004. The applicant applied for a building permit (# 853 -2004) to construct a new dwelling on this property, and for a change of use permit ( #858 -2004) for the existing dwelling by removing the kitchen so the structure could be used for storage. The Frederick County Zoning Administrator signed both permits on May 5, 2004, and noted on permit 4868 -2004 to confirm that the kitchen is removed. Acceptance of these permits acknowledged that the change in use of the existing dwelling to a storage building was necessary in order to construct the new dwelling. No new dwelling should have been occupied before the change of use condition was met, essentially changing the pre - existing dwelling to a storage building. The Frederick County Inspections Department on November 7, 2005, had a follow -up inspection of the property to confirm that the kitchen was removed from the pre- existing dwelling. No one was at home to enable the inspection to occur, and the applicant did not schedule any other follow -up inspections. The property owner failed to comply with the original issuance of the building permit by not removing the kitchen from the pre- existing dwelling, and changing the structure's use from a dwelling to a storage building. Section 165 -25 (B) of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance states, except where specifically allowed, no more than one dwelling shall be allowed on a lot. A separate entrance, together with separate equipment, including a sink, stove, or other kitchen or sanitary facilities, shall be prima facie evidence that separate occupancy exists and that a separate dwelling exists. The Zoning Administrator issued building permit approval for the new dwelling, contingent upon removing the pre- existing dwelling from the property. The prima facie evidence has been established by the fact that the Zoning Administrator required confirmation that the kitchen was to be removed for the change of use permit and this has not happened. Therefore, the property is currently in violation of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE NOVEMBER 20, 2007 MEETING: Staff is requesting to affirm the determination of the Zoning Administrator in the administration of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, Section 165- 25(B), regarding the number of dwellings on a lot. rT � � L54i h g e`6�'�1 dJ'llerw®® Liay°JS!!G!l1 z s b s t�rs;,f6; ; r Frederick County, VA M Appeal APP # 24 - 07 Application #- �Pearl x � A e I *'�•r' '*"`a,a..`.„h. ¢-+r.� r c„ R *; " ,,,, ;f fix..=. e t a tfi t 1 :. , YI 1 ' I1 UdCr{VOOd Parcel ID: 41 - A - 117 in Gouniy t�� :, ,`� r6aCf ���" s r '"'1� }� ya`uK �/� J�q 4F.p, ¢ b fi �a�� ♦ '7t jj� ) � I . iC Location ibe ++ L f tY x" a �$ p x t G §'' �p .dr atN N'`^,a r ° a9 Y'Rt4b } y t"t! h'k„YN y �kj ]c ..Y '11 �< �Ii ° k �I Cu i O a'h v� 1 +f �i.� / t 1 4 4 • -!' f�i 1 b a A' d r!

My inspection of the site revealed the presence of two houses on the property. In accordance with Section 165 -25B of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, except where specifically allowed, no more than one dwelling shall be allowed on a lot. A separate entrance, together with separate equipment, including a sink, stove, or other kitchen or sanitary facilities, shall be prima facie evidence that separate occupancy exists and that a separate dwelling exists. Specifically, this violation may be resolved by removing one of the existing dwellings from the property. This office will allow thirty (30) days from receipt of this letter to resolve this violation. Failure to comply with the Zoning Ordinance within that designated period could result in a criminal complaint being filed against you. You may have the right to appeal the above notice of violation within 30 days of the date of this letter in accordance with Section 15.2 -2311 of the Code of Virginia. This decision shall be final and unappealable, if it is not appealed within 30 days. Should you choose to appeal, the appeal must be filed with the Zoning Administrator and the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) in accordance with Article XXI, Section 165- 155A(1), of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. This provision requires the submission of an application form, a written statement setting forth the decision being appealed, the date of decision, the grounds for the appeal, how the appellant is an aggrieved party, any other information you may want to submit, and a $300.00 filing fee ($250.00 filing fee and a $50.00 refundable sign deposit). Once the appeal application is accepted, it will be scheduled for public hearing and a decision before the BZA. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000 Page 2 Ms. Pearl Underwood Re: 521 Marple Road September 17, 2007 Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have at (540) 665 -5651.
