- PLEASE NOTE THAT CASE RESULTS DEPEND UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS UNIQUE TO EACH CASE AND THAT CASE RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE OR PREDICT A SIMILAR RESULT IN ANY FUTURE CASE UNDERTAKEN BY ALG OR ANY OF ITS LAWYERS. Together with Craig Blakeley of ALG, Kathleen recently represented a private landowner in successfully challenging a zoning decision of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. In this case, which is believed to be a case of first impression in Virginia, the Fairfax County Circuit Court held that the Board had exceeded its powers under state law in adopting an ordinance permitting residential lot width waivers to be granted by special exception, rather than by variance.
