Code officer flags larger-than-authorized Sunnyside Rd. plan; attorney review requested

Apr 14, 2026

The town’s code officer reported that plans for a structure at 5180 Sunnyside Rd. appear larger than a previously granted variance (about 3,000 sq ft vs. plans nearer 5,000 sq ft) and may reduce fire-apparatus access; the board asked the town attorney to advise.

The full story

Code Enforcement Officer Chris Whipple told the board that work proposed at 5180 Sunnyside Road appears to exceed the scope of a prior variance. Whipple said the original variance was for a roughly 3,000-square-foot structure while current plans are closer to 5,000 square feet and that both he and PB/ZBA missed a reduction in access for fire apparatus tied to the larger footprint.
