CAHH Design Review Guidelines
APPENDIX B – Potential Design Review Applicant Questionnaire

The following questions are designed to assemble information for the Design Review Committee and to help applicants to understand the relationship of a planned addition or alteration with their existing Hollin Hills house. Homeowners can consult Hollin Hills: A History into the 4th Decade, compiled by Marion Tiger and available from the Civic Association of Hollin Hills, for more detailed information on the development of the community.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

  1. What changes are you contemplating? Why?

  2. Who is designing the addition/alteration? Has he/she been given a copy of the DRC guidelines and procedures?

  3. Will the changes be visible from the exterior? (If not, you may not need Design Review approval, only appropriate Fairfax County building permits.)

  4. What type of Hollin Hills house do you own? Do you know the plan type or name? Date of construction? Number of stories? Roof type?

  5. Does your house have any previous additions, including any made by previous owners?

Describe any additions you listed above. Do you believe that the existing additions are in harmony and conformity with 1) the existing house and 2) the rest of Hollin Hills? (Note-the quality of any previous additions are not considered, only the merits of the present application as it relates to the existing house.)

How does your house relate to its neighbors? Does your house feel open or secluded? Do your bedrooms and other private spaces have privacy? Do you have vistas that cross a neighbor's property?
