Verona ZBA approves HVACs and a second-floor addition; minutes and resolutions passed
Summary
At the July 9 meeting the board approved a resolution for HVAC units at 94 Elmwood Road, granted HVAC pad approvals for 17 Douglas Place with a bollard condition if required, and approved a second-floor addition at 111 Hillside Avenue; minutes from the June 11 meeting were also approved.
The Verona Zoning Board of Adjustment approved several routine items at its July 9 meeting.
Consent and resolutions: The board approved minutes from the June 11 meeting and adopted resolution 2026-15 relating to two new HVAC units at 94 Elmwood Road; the resolution passed with three abstentions recorded in the roll call.
17 Douglas Place: Gianna and Nicholas Bavaria requested approval to install two exterior HVAC condensers on an undersized R-50 lot. The zoning officer noted existing lot coverage exceeds the standard; the applicants said the two small condensers (approximately 2-by-2 feet pads) will consolidate noise and replace multiple window units. Board members supported the location (along the driveway and separated from the neighbor's garage) and approved the application unanimously, adding a condition that bollards be installed if the construction department requires them.
111 Hillside Avenue: Homeowners Tim and Kate Stillings sought setbacks-related variances to add a small second-floor bathroom. The board found the proposed design minimized daylight and privacy impacts to neighbors, noted at least two adjacent neighbors registered no objection, and approved the variances unanimously.
Next steps: For each approval the board indicated resolutions will be drafted and finalized at the next regular meeting; construction and building permits are subject to building-department inspections and any required construction conditions.
