[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long til the county makes a decision on the variance?  And what happened to the argument that bc he poured a new foundation that the setback changed so he would still be out of compliance [/quote]

There was a news clip last night saying he had a meeting last night with the county, and has to get a new survey of the property. Depending on the results he can either proceed or apply for a variance. Applying for a variance can take several months and it sounds like the immediate neighbors can choose whether or not to sign it.

So if he gets a laser survey and metal property point makers plus ground paint stakes strings...Who's doing the survey?  
Google maps has historical imagery. The addition appears to be wider than the 1 car garage converted to a room. It also extends into the  driveway so that could be a front yard setback issue.

How did this get so far with a new foundation, framing, plywood on a 3 story addition with no stop from the county?  Knew of FX County situation where someone 's contractor digging foundation - visual too close-county came , measured, stop work.

Found a great house zoned for Rocky Run /Chantilly- similar to the original of this.  Added front dormers and a uitlity room behind garage with master suite above garage- great rooflines and lovely home.[/quote]

Currently for sale?[/quote]

No it is not so I didn't post the link to the address,  That house showed up on images when I searched the address of the weird addition house.  Under contract in less than 1 week and sold over list.  Area over the 1 car garage is 299 sq feet- master bedroom, bath, walk in closet, FR addition, 3 bed up, 2 main level. Not smoothest cape conversion without teardown but looks great as you cruise the street on google st view. 2 big dormers on the cape portion have same roofline as addition.  Guess chimney gets extended up.  Happens when adding height on split level/ranch/capes.  We bookmark houses that are great redos on them without teardown.

There's original build Ashley models capes for Greenbriar West ES- not sure if that's the original Marble model. Those were 2 beds on main-hall bath. 2nd floor 2 beds , hall bath.  So whatever the original model- add dormers mimicking addition over garage roofline and put in a master suite. [/quote]
