RE: VA-2003-10
Dear Mr. Burch:
This letter serves to clarify and document our discussions regarding the revised building
plans prepared by Montivy.
The BZA based the approval of VA-2003-10 on plans that showed a two-story dwelling
containing 6,072 square feet. The approval eliminated a proposed two- story 3' x 19'foot
cantilever.Therefore, the new dwelling is limited to 5,958 finished square feet. (6072—
[3 x 19 x 2] = 5,958)
A portion of the finished square footage may be located above the second story in the
attic as shown on the Montivy plan. For the purpose of this interpretation, finished square
footage is the area within the insulated envelope of the building.
The two-story porch proposed for the south side of the dwelling can be added to the
house if it is located within the area of the existing foundation. The area of the porch will
not be counted as finished square footage. If the porch is enclosed, regardless of whether
or not the enclosed space is insulated, the area would be considered to be finished square
footage for the purpose of determining allowable finished square footage under VA-
2003-10.
I understand that the carport located on the north side of the building that is sketched on
the Montivy plan has been eliminated from your proposal.
Please contact me if you have questions concerning this letter or concerning additional
revisions to your plan.
