Lunger, III Direct: MCGUIREWOODS Fax: anuary 16, 2018 Arlova Vonhm Zoning Administrator Arlington County 2100 Clarendon Boulevard Suite 1000 Arlington, VA Re: Site Plan #447,11 th and Vermont Modifications of Use Regulations for Coverage, Density Exclusions, Off-site Visitor Parking and Tandem Parking Spaces Applicant: NVR, Inc. Dear Ms. Vonhm: The purpose of this letter is to request certain modifications of use regulations including density exclusions for Site Plan #447 consistent with the April 11, 2016 "Zoning Administrator Advice: Density Exclusions from GFA - Site Plan Projects" (herein referred to as "Exclusions Advice"). Additionally, the Applicant requests an increase in the coverage from 56% to 67% on the South Block and 76.1% on the North block; a one (1) visitor parking space for the North Block townhomes be located in the underground garage within the South Block; and that the town-house style multifamily units within the South Block be permitted tandem parking spaces, as shown on the submitted 4.1 plans. With regard to the exclusions request, the bulk of them are located below-grade and are ancillary spaces supporting the mechanical function of the building. They include residential storage and mechanical spaces in the garage. These areas are located below-grade, are necessary for the functioning of the building, will be occupied infrequently, if at all, and do not add to the bulk of the building. Historically, these areas have not been considered GFA; however per the Exclusions Advice determination, they are now considered GFA and a modification request is required. The County Board has historically approved exclusions for below-grade storage, mechanical spaces and left oyer spaces, and thus the Applicant requests they be excluded from Site Plan #447.
