Proposal
The five subject lots are located within Section 2 of the Meadowville Landing at Rivers Bend
subdivision. With the approval of Case 17SN0598, a proffered condition was offered to address
the location of the garage entry for attached garages (Proffered Condition 6 Attachment 3). This
condition is as follows:
6.Front Loaded Attached Garages. No front-loaded garages shall be permitted except in
the case where a dwelling includes three garages. In the case where a dwelling has
three garages, no more than one garage shall be front-loaded.
The intent of this limitation is to minimize the visual impact of garage doors on the streetscape.
The applicant indicates that the shape and size of these five lots restrict the ability to
accommodate side-loaded garages. Staff notes that each of these lots is impacted by a fifty (50)
foot buffer along Meadowville Road which is exclusive of the required side yard building setback.
This buffer and the associated building setback impact the building envelope, and restrict the
location of the driveway in accessing a side or rear loaded garage. A rendering of these lots and
building footprints as provided by the applicant is located on the following page.

Garage Treatment
To minimize the visual impacts of these garage doors on the streetscape, the applicant has
proffered the following (Attachment 1):
Upgraded garage doors with minimum of two enhanced features
Placement of garage not to extend beyond front line of dwelling unless architectural
treatment of garage generally conforms to Exhibits A, B or C (Attachment 2) and maximum
extension is eight (8) feet beyond front line of dwelling.
Given the unique characteristics of the subject lots relative to accommodating side or rear loaded
garages, staff believes, as proffered, the impacts of the proposed front loaded will be minimized,
and the design and architectural elements offered for these garages will continue to be
comparable in quality to that of the surrounding community.

Proffered Conditions
The Applicant in this case, pursuant to Section 15.2-2298 of the Code of Virginia (1950

garage door is any door with a minimum of two (2) enhanced features.

B. Front-loaded garages shall not be permitted to extend past the front line
of the main dwelling unless the architectural treatment of the garage generally
