The county approved it and at this point the county should mandate a change in the plan and assist with financing to change it to a more reasonable addition.

I watched the interview. Construction was paused because the building violates set back by 6 inches in the rear corner. Owner says he built exactly to the approved plan and seems very confident he will be granted a variance. How likely is that? Who is ultimately responsible?

I wonder how good the views are from the 3rd floor.

C’mon be nice. While I don’t agree with the addition, I’m impressed with the maturity of the next door neighbor who is not anywhere mean as the posters on this forum who have no horse in the race.

They are saying that "family members" are going to live there. I don't believe it. It says 3 generations in the article.


It's probably not just grandma/grandpa, adults, children. By 3 generations they probably mean multiple entire family units. Has to be for that size.

Has anyone confirmed if he is indeed the father of the Gerry Connolly attacker? I've seen the owner listed as Mike Nguyen and Ngoc Pham, and the attacker's last name is Pham.

It’s not about uniformity. I don’t like modern architecture. I wouldn’t care if my neighbor built a modern style addition as long as it was up to code. This is a blatant violation of code. Furthermore how much sketchy foreign business is going to be happening in this so-called mother in law suite? What, jihadist style training so their other son can assault another elderly public servant?

You can't sell your home for who would ever purchase next to that mess. I think I would consider throwing up my own similar "addition" to match the one my jerk neighbor just built. Might as well.

I hope she winds up suing the county tbh

The question of “is/will there be an Accessory Living Unit or Accessory Dwelling Unit?” Was answered “no”

Am I to understand they blatantly lied on their application? They should have it canceled for that reason alone.
