[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

We had a house in our ffx county neighborhood thay build a besutiful wooden shed in their backyard.  They had to pull it down because it was a couple inches bigger than ffx code.

How did this monstrosity pass the framing inspection?[/quote]

Why do you think it shouldn't pass inspection?[/quote]

Are you the owner? Why do you keep acting like it isn’t the myriad of construction and other violations that it clearly is. That construction work alone cannot have passed inspections. [/quote]

Such as? I know about the 6 inches, but what are all these other issues you're referring to?[/quote]
