commissioner hilands >> gression mr. [inaudible] can you explain for the other commissioners benefit and the public the zoning issues around this project and the extent of the zoning and zoning variance? >> the project will require a rear yard variance. basically the way the code is now, it allows for a mass that is similar to what they have in the rear yard, but they have to have a 5 foot set back from the 2 side property lines since the sponsor wants to shift that mass for the rear yard basically against the blank wall they need a variance to address a rear yard requirement. i think there is a diagram. >> if we were to follow the planning code exactly, that smaller valium furktest into the rear yard would shift over 5 feet away from the blank wall and towards the opening between the cottage and house at the front of the east neighbor. is that clear? it was our assumption by sliding against a blank wall we provide more light and air and exposure for our neighboring property to the east and more connections with a open s

there's a police officer directing everyone to take a left on to hiland lane.tarting to see the traffic slow down as people make their way through the neighborhood streets to try to get around the broken water main. we're starting to see the traffic impact starting to increase here. just got an update from fairfax county water. here is what i'm being told. they are hoping to get at least one lane in each direction opened on the southbound side of things. so they have a big hole on the northbound lanes. that's where the actual 14-inch pipe broke. they have debris and mud on the southbound side. they're waiting for a backhoe to arrive on the scene. as soon as they can get the mud and debris up the hope they'll be able to open one lane in each direction to help people get through the area. as for those northbound lanes, though that's a big hole in the road. they have to get in some heavy equipment and certainly it's going take hours to repair that. that's going a problem for awhile. if you travel along route 1 this is the fort bell area nearby. it you're familiar
