Signs, under Sections 165- 201.6G(7)(c) Height and 165- 201.6H(7)(c) Size, of the Frederick

ACTION APPEAL TABLED AT THE REQUEST OF APPLICANT BOARD OF
ZONING APPEALS SCHEDULED APPEAL APPLICATION FOR THE JULY 19, 2011
MEETING
Mr. Lawrence stated that the Board Members have in front of them a copy of a letter. received
Friday, May 13, 2011, from Harrison Johnston concerning today's appeal application. This letter is a
request to table the appeal and to not further discuss it today. Mr. Lawrence offered two options for the
Board: accept the request and table the appeal for a specific length of time or deny the applicant's
request to table and proceed through the process. Mr. Lawrence continued that in the letter. the
applicant's representative is asking that the application be tabled so they can further refine how they
Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals Page 1566
May 17, 2011
wish to resolve the matter.
Mr. Oates stated he would support tabling the application for 60 days.
Chairman Scott asked the applicant if he wanted to speak at this time.
Mr. Tim Mayfield is representing Dr. Salem in this matter. The reason they are requesting the
appeal be tabled is because they have retained the services of a new architecture firm to design a
different sort of scheme that will meet Frederick County code requirements. Mr. Mayfield thinks a
tabling of 60 days would be appropriate and enough time in order to apply for a new building permit.
Mr. Oates made a motion to table Appeal Application #01 -11 of Dr. Ayman Salem for 60 days.
Chairman Scott suggested that the motion be worded to table Appeal Application #01 -11 for 60
days, and/or until the July 19, 2011 meeting.
Mr. Carpenter seconded the motion that Appeal Application #01 -11 be tabled for 60 days and /or
until the July 19, 2011 meeting. The vote to table was unanimous.
Variance Request #02 -11 of Connie Carter, for a 13 foot front yard variance, resulting in a
47 foot front yard setback, for a deck. This property is located at 130 Rhinehart Lane, and
is identified with Property Identification Number 28 -A -22 in the Gainesboro Magisterial
District.
ACTION APPEAL TABLED BY THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS VARIANCE
APPLICATION SCHEDULED FOR THE JULY 19, 2011 MEETING
Mr. Cheran presented the staff report. The applicant applied for a building permit after staff
received a complaint that remodeling of the structure was taking place without a building permit. The
applicant added a front deck, which was larger than the original deck, as noted when staff visited the
site. The current setbacks for the RA district are 60 feet to the front, 50 feet to the rear and 50 feet on
both sides. The larger deck that was added made the front setback 50 feet to the front and caused the
violation of the Frederick County Code in the RA zoning district.
Mr. Cheran continued that this property does not meet the threshold requirement of hardship as
to the use of the property. An undue hardship would apply only if a principal use could not be built on
this parcel. This variance request does not meet the intent nor the requirements of The Code of Virginia
1950 as amended 15.2- 2309(2) and Section 165- 1001.2(C) of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to the
threshold of a hardship. Staff would recommend denial of this variance request.
Mr. Cheran told the members that their agenda packet includes a copy of the applied -for building
permit, and that the applicant, Ms. Carter, is available to answer questions.
Mr. Givens questioned why the permit and the staff report state the front setback is 50 feet, yet
the applicant is requesting a 13 foot variance and the plat shows a 47 foot setback. Which is correct?
Mr. Cheran answered that the 47 foot setback is what the applicant is requesting. Mr. Givens asked if
the building permit that's been applied for is incorrect and Mr. Cheran replied that is correct. Mr.
Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals Page 1567
May 17, 2011
Givens asked if the applicant needs a 47 foot setback and Mr. Cheran responded yes.
Mr. Oates asked if the 47 foot setback is measured from the edge of road or edge of right -of -way.
Mr. Cheran responded Rhinehart Lane is a private lane so it would be from the edge of road. Mr. Oates
asked if there is an easement on the lane and Mr. Cheran stated just the easement to get back to the lane.
Mr. Oates wondered if there was an actual dedicated easement of 15, 20, or 50 feet. Mr. Cheran
deferred to the applicant.
Chairman Scott asked Mr. Cheran the date of the photograph in the agenda packet showing the
original deck. Mr. Cheran responded that this photo was taken from the Assessor's file and did not have
a date on it. Chairman Scott asked the dimensions of the original deck. Mr. Cheran said the Assessor's
file didn't indicate the dimensions.
Ms. Connie Carter approached the podium and identified herself as the sole owner of the
property. Ms. Carter stated she purchased the property in March 2007. Due to home owner's insurance
demands, Ms. Carter was told she needed to put a railing on the deck. In 2008, Ms. Carter had dormers
put on the house, but she didn't apply for a building permit to do so. One of the Frederick County
building inspectors called her and told her to cease work on the house, and after visiting the site, he
noted that the deck was new and was over expanded from the joists underneath and the railing was not
up to Code. Ms. Carter had railings put on the stairs, put new railings on the deck and put two new legs
underneath to try to bring it up to Code. Ms. Carter stated that she followed the paperwork for the
dormers in 2008. The building inspector stated that she did not have a permit for the deck. even though
Ms. Carter said she didn't build it. She called back later in 2008 to find out where the permit stood and
apparently Ms. Carter had put the wrong phone number on the application. In 2010, Ms. Carter started
inquiring about the permit again and was told that because of the structure of the dormers, she would
need an analysis by an engineer. She got that fixed and she again asked about the permit standing. In
2011, she's still struggling with the permit.
Ms. Carter stated that the house itself is over the setback by five feet. To put a four foot landing
on the front puts her nine feet over the setback. In order to keep the deck on her house, she would need
a total variance of 47 feet. Ms. Carter asked the Board to allow her to keep her deck.
Mr. Carpenter asked Ms. Carter the dimension of the deck. She stated it's 8x16. Mr. Carpenter
asked if the deck that is currently on the house was on that house when she purchased it. Ms. Carter
responded yes. Mr. Carpenter asked Ms. Carter if she enlarged the size of the deck and she said no.
Mr. Oates asked Ms. Carter if the 47 feet is to the edge of an existing right -of -way or the edge of
a road. Ms. Carter said she was at the edge of the road when she measured it. Mr. Oates has a concern
that if a survey is done which shows a right -of -way and she's 60 feet off that, she could in fact need a 25
foot variance or something less. Mr. Oates asked if any research has been done to see if there is a
dedicated easement for Rhinehart Lane. Ms. Carter stated she couldn't find anything.
Mr. Lowman asked if Ms. Carter recalls when she purchased the property if there was an as -built
survey or any type of survey at the closing. Ms. Carter doesn't recall that. Mr. Lowman stated that
would help in the Board's decision to know if the existing deck was there.
Chairman Scott asked for citizen comments, either for or against this variance. No one
Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals Page 1568
May 17, 2011
responded.
Chairman Scott closed the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Mr. Cheran stated if the Board so desires. staff can do research and work with the applicant to
better understand what's needed.
Mr. Shirley asked if staff disputes the fact that the existing deck was there when Ms. Carter
bought the property. Mr. Cheran said no, staff is not disputing that.
It was the consensus of the Board to have staff conduct research on this request in order to
answer the questions needed to make a decision.
Mr. Givens made a motion to table Variance Request #02 -11 until the July 19, 2011 meeting.
Mr. Carpenter seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.

Chairman Scott thanked the County for allowing Mr. Oates, Mr. Wells and himself to attend the
BZA classes. It has been very helpful. They finish up on June 6`

CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Givens at 3:25 p.m. and he
determined there is a quorum.
On a motion made by Mr. Wells and seconded by Mr. Carpenter, the minutes for the May
17, 2011 meeting were unanimously approved as presented.

the two that were tabled from May. Mr. Cheran responded there are no new applications at this

PUBLIC HEARING
Variance Request #03 -11 of Orange Partners at Kernstown Commons, for a four
and one half foot variance of the ten foot setback for an interstate sign as it relates
to Chapter 165 Zoning, Part 704 IA Interstate Area Overlay District, Section 165
704.05(D)(1) District Regulations; Setback Requirements. The subject property is
located on the southwestern quadrant interchange for Route 37 and Route 11 in
Kernstown, and is identified with Property Identification Number 75 -5 -10 in the
Back Creek Magisterial District.
ACTION VARINANCE APPROVED
Mr. Cheran presented the staff report. Frederick County adopted the Interstate Area Overlay
District (IA) in 1995. The IA District qualifies uses to be allowed on the sign, height of the sign,
number of signs and sign setbacks within the district. The IA District setbacks are ten feet from
property lines. The applicant is requesting a four and one half foot variance of the required ten foot
setback due to utility easement lines and the future expansion of Interstate 81. If granted, the variance
will result in a five and one half foot setback from the property line. Mr. Cheran stated that the sign
Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals Page 1570
June 21, 2011
itself has met the qualifications of and been approved by Frederick County and VDOT.
Mr. Cheran further stated that the sign manufacturer met with him and VDOT. Because this is
the interstate overlay and this request concerns VDOT's right -of -way, Mr. Cheran felt that VDOT
should be represented in the meeting. VDOT, by email, stated that as Frederick County's regulations
are more stringent than VDOT, they will defer the waiver question to the County. VDOT further stated
that they have provided information so that "the applicant's engineer has been made aware of the
planned excavation for the construction of the future 1 -81 Exit 310 ramps and C -D lanes, and should
design the sign footer accordingly. The incursion into the zoning buffer will be at the applicant's risk
and liability should any problems arise from the future excavation on the Interstate right -of- way."
In conclusion, Mr. Cheran stated that this request from current setbacks of the IA District may be
justified to accommodate the future expansion of Interstate 81 and due to the existing utility easements
in the vicinity which restricts movement of the sign. This variance request appears to meet the intent of
The Code of Virginia 15.2309 (2).
The application shows the request is for a five foot setback and Mr. Lowman asked Mr. Cheran
if it is five feet or four and one half feet. Mr. Cheran responded they're requesting a four and one half
foot variance resulting in a five and one half foot setback.
Mr. David Lellock, who is representing the applicant, stated that where the sign is proposed to be
located, Orange Partners has dedicated about 20 feet of property and that the previous sign easement
extended the original VDOT right -of -way line, which is actually the fence line. Mr. Lellock said it is
unique that they have donated the property to VDOT but a new limited access fence has not been
constructed yet.
Mr. Scott Marsh of Marsh Legge Land Surveyors stated that he and Mr. Lellock work
together. Mr. Marsh said the additional right -of -way is a voluntary right -of -way area and that it was the
right thing to do. A sign can be in the wrong place and cause people to go the wrong way or it can be in
the correct place and help guide people to where they want to be. Further, this sign meets Frederick
County's and VDOT's requirements. A larger sign has a large concrete "dead man" and that's the
restrictive element of where a sign is positioned. Mr. Marsh feels the sign is proposed for the right place
and he requests approval of this variance.
Mr. Carpenter asked if they had looked into a monopole -type sign instead of a two post type sign
as shown in their sign design. Mr. Bob Runyan of Eddie Edwards' Signs responded that what works out
the best for all parties involved is to do a sign of this style, where the structural integrity of two poles is
shared. With two poles, you don't have to have as much structure built into the huge cabinet. which is
23 feet wide and 22 feet tall, for all the properties' signs /logos. It would be very difficult to take a box
that big and put it 80 feet in the air with just one support. Two supports makes for a safer, better built
system.
Mr. Oates asked if a monopole -type sign would work if it was 50 or 60 feet tall instead of 80
feet. Mr. Runyan stated the same issues are involved. The same square footage amount would be
subject to up to maybe 90 mph winds.
Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals Page 1571
June 21, 2011
Mr. Oates stated that one of VDOT's comments was that if the variance is granted, it will be at
the applicant's risk and liability should any problems arise from the future exaction on the Interstate
right -of -way. Mr. Lellock stated that the bottom of the sign foundation is going to be below their ditch
line in this area. Mr. Lellock's understanding is that basically signs are now designed so that it would
not be a fall hazard. So excavation near this is going to be minimal and it doesn't appear there will be
any undercut of this sign.
Mr. Oates stated it sounds to him like if the sign needs to be removed, it will be at the applicant's
cost, not VDOT's. Mr. Oates asked if the applicant has any problem with the condition of the variance.
Mr. Lellock said they're fine with that, provided they don't take more right -of -way.
Vice Chairman Givens stated that it seems the setback question came up earlier this month,
based on the date on the plat. Part of the applicant's reasoning of requesting a variance is because the
applicant has a manufactured sign. Why has the sign already been manufactured? Mr. Marsh responded
that originally the easement created for the sign was intended to go all the way to the existing right -of-
way into the voluntary area. There was an implication that was the original intent and the reservation of
all this was to allow for that. Mr. Marsh explained the design of the sign is very standard and tailored to
the site. They're here for the variance; the sign hasn't been built and the foundation hasn't been poured
because they want to get this resolved with the variance.
Vice Chairman Givens referred to a letter from Lellock Consulting to the BZA where it states
"will require additional revisions to portions of the sign that have already been manufactured Mr.
Lellock stated the only part of the sign that's been manufactured is the columns and the columns have
been ordered because there was a mistake made between the purchasing person and the vendor for the
pipes.
Mr. Cheran stated the applicant was within the County's required setback requirement and the
permit was issued. The applicant's representatives discovered this issue, came to the County for
guidance and then applied for the variance. This accounts for what may appear to be a discrepancy in
the time line.
Mr. Wells asked Mr. Cheran if there was any other place on the property where the sign could be
located and achieve the same signage effect without granting this variance. Mr. Cheran responded no.
Vice Chairman Givens asked if anyone present wished to speak either in favor of or against this
variance request. There was no response and Vice Chairman Givens closed the public hearing portion
of the meeting.
Discussion
Vice Chairman Givens suggested that any motion that is made, particularly to approve, that we
include the fact that the applicant is responsible. The BZA and the County will have responsibility for
approving a variance only not the design of the sign or any future design of 1-81.
Vice Chairman Givens looked at the site and he understands that storm drain structures and the
water lines would have to be relocated if the sign was moved back. Vice Chairman Givens questions if
that's a hardship to relocate those utilities even though there is cost involved. Why wouldn't it work if
Frederick County Board of Zoning Appeals Page 1572
June 21, 2011
the sign was moved a little further south?
Mr. Lellock said if they try to move it past the structures that are existing, they'll have to go back
through the process of moving the sign easement. That involves going back through the covenants with
Kernstown Commons, which at times is cumbersome with some of the national tenants they have in the
development. Another aspect is there is a certain distance that this sign has to be located to existing
parking spaces. Mr. Lellock believes right now they meet that criteria, but if they move further south,
they'll be required to add additional paved surfaces and parking areas to meet that requirement.
Mr. Cheran stated this is a requirement of the Department of Transportation; they're very
particular about signs on the interstates and byways.
Vice Chairman Givens stated that would create an unusual hardship for the applicant.
Mr. Lellock continued that the sign can only reach a certain height. The way it's designed now,
they are just at that height. The further they move south, the shorter the sign legs have to be, so poles
that have been manufactured are going to be too long.
Mr. Wells made a motion to approve Variance Request #03 -1 1 of Orange Partners at Kemstown
Commons with the understanding that after construction of the sign that Frederick County and the Board
of Zoning Appeals be held at bay, and that any obstacle pertaining to the sign or placement of the sign
be held between the applicant and the Virginia Department of Transportation. Mr. Carpenter seconded
the motion and the vote was unanimous.

VARIANCE REQUESTED:
The applicant is requesting a 76.7 foot variance of the 100 foot right side setback, a 49 foot variance
of the 50 foot left side setback and a 4.6 foot variance of the 50 foot rear setback in order to allow the
construction of a 24'x 35' dwelling on the site. This variance, if granted, would result in a 23.3 foot
right side yard setback, a one foot left side yard setback, and a 45.4 foot rear yard setback.
REASON FOR VARIANCE:
With current setbacks, size topography, location of drainfield well, there is no buildable area to
construct a dwelling.
Variance Application #04 -11 Smithfield Properties
October 27, 2011

STAFF COMMENTS:
The subject parcel was created on January 6, 1966 when the 0.4 acre parcel was transferred from
James Saville (Frederick County Clerk's office, Book 328, Page 639). Frederick County adopted
zoning in 1967. Therefore, this lot was created prior to the adoption of zoning. The Frederick County
historical zoning map shows this property was zoned A -2 (Agricultural General) in 1967. The
property setback lines at the adoption of the zoning ordinance were 35 feet for the front and 15 feet
for the side yards. Frederick County amended its Ordinance in 1989 and 2009 to change the A -2
zoning districts to the current RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District, making the current setbacks for the
property 60 feet to the front, 50 feet to the rear, 100 feet to the right, and 50 feet to the left.
Based on the limited size, topography, the placement of drainfield well, and the large setbacks
associated with the RA zoning district, staff believes this renders the property a challenge on which
to place a dwelling. The applicant is requesting a 76.7 foot right side yard variance, a 49 foot left
side yard variance, and a 4.6 foot rear yard variance. This variance, if granted, would result in a 23.3
foot right side yard setback, a one foot left side yard setback, and a 45.4 foot rear yard setback.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE NOVEMBER 16, 2010 MEETING:
The Code of Virginia 15.2 -2309 (2), states that no variance shall be granted unless the application
can meet the following requirements:
1) The strict application of the Ordinance will produce an undue hardship.
2) The hardship is not generally shared by the properties in the same zoning district and
vicinity.
3) That the authorization of such variance will not be a substantial detriment to the adjacent
property and the character of the district will not be changed by the variance.
The applicant is seeking this variance in order to construct a single- family dwelling. Therefore, this
application for a variance meets the requirements as set forth by The Code of Virginia 1950 as
amended 15.2- 2309(2), and Section 165- 1001.02 (C) of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance.
The strict application of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance does produce an undue hardship as
required by the Code of Virginia. Should this variance be granted, the building setbacks for this
property would be 23.3 feet on the right side, one foot on the left side, and would change to 45.4 feet
on the rear property line. Staff would recommend approval of this variance application.
