Board approves condenser variance for Sunset Drive with adjusted setback
Summary
A variance was approved allowing an air‑conditioning condenser at 25015 Sunset Drive to be placed approximately 3 feet from the property line (the board characterized this as a 7‑foot variance from the nominal 10‑foot side yard requirement); the motion passed on roll call.
The Zoning Appeals Board granted a variance for an air‑conditioning condenser at 25015 Sunset Drive after reviewing lot geometry and unit dimensions. The agenda initially listed a different variance calculation, but the board and applicant discussed measurements and agreed the condenser could be allowed about 3 feet from the property line; the board characterized the final allowance as a variance of about 7 feet from the 10‑foot standard and approved the motion by roll call.
The applicant described site constraints — including a narrow rear lot, existing evergreen trees and a historic foundation — and said the house dates to the 1920s. Board members examined unit dimensions and debated whether to use the worst‑case unit size from the submittal; after discussion the board chose a conservative clearance of roughly 3 feet from the property line. A motion to grant the variance carried on roll call. Members asked the applicant to confirm final placement with a survey if needed.
