[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Asian. While this addition may be 100% legal, just don’t agree with doing this to the neighbors (and the neighborhood in general). Really feeling sorry for that woman next door. Sadly this is where HOAs are appreciated. [/quote] The addition literally blocks most of the sunlight to the neighbors house. The nextdoor neighbor is losing the ability to fully use her own property. Fairfax county needs to amend the zoning ordinance to include FAR ratio limits and lot coverage maximums for suburban residential neighborhoods. [/quote] There need to be height limitations combined with FAR. If only FAR, one could build a skinny tower or any height of geometry so long as it fits into a ratio. The tower is basically what this family did.[/quote] There are height limits. I would bet it's 35 feet. Which, since it has a flat roof, makes it okay. Please read the Fairfax County zoning ordinance. [/quote]
