He's built the addition into where those cars are parked. [/quote]

Part of it, yes. But it looks like there would still be ebough space if he extends the parking pad to the sidewalk.

He probably wouldn't ever use it, but I think it would try technically satisify the parking requirement.[/quote]

No - he has built the addition where both cars are parked. If he extends the pad along the property line to the apron, the apron would need to be extended.

Modifying residential driveway aprons requires a VDOT land use permit and must comply with Fairfax county zoning.[/quote]

You can get a permit to do, though? I'm surprised no one around there has. It is a very common modification where I live.

But I wasn't suggesting that would be strictly necessary.  It looks like there's still enough room for cars between the addition and the sidewalk. So just extending the parking pad to the sidewalk would give a second spot.

I don't know about setback problems though. Maybe you could widen it the other way, too (with or without expanding the apron).[/quote]
