Fairview Park BZA approves variance allowing homeowner to relocate air-conditioning unit
Summary
The Board of Zoning & Building Appeals approved a variance for 21517 Nottingham Dr. allowing an air-conditioning unit to be placed 5'6" from the side property line (10' required), citing practical difficulty; the vote was unanimous of the three members present.
The Fairview Park Board of Zoning & Building Appeals voted May 12 to grant a variance permitting an air-conditioning unit to be relocated to the side yard at 21517 Nottingham Drive.
Alexander Hosack, the applicant, told the board he planned to remove the unit from the rear yard and move it to the side yard and that he had "a letter of support from the neighbor," which legal counsel John Castele read into the record. Building Commissioner Walter Maynard reported no comments from police, fire, service departments, or other neighbors.
The variance request would place the unit 5'6" from the side property line where the code requires a 10' setback, a variance of 4'6" (cited in the record as [1117.12]). Vice Chair Michael M. Feller, Ms. VanSchoor and Mr. Studeny voted to approve the request "on practical difficulty," with no recorded nays or abstentions. The board recorded the approval in the meeting minutes.
The action was procedural and limited to the setback exemption; the minutes do not record any additional conditions or follow-up tasks tied to the variance. The item is officially recorded as Docket 5-26-06B.
