Proposal

The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the minimum required side interior setback for central air conditioning equipment by 1'-2" (1.16') from 5'-0" to retain six existing air conditioning units and associated concrete slabs at a minimum setback of 3'-10" (3.84') from the south property line.

From the Letter of Intent

The applicant is requesting a variance to allow existing A/C units to remain in their current location with a reduced interior side setback. This is to preserve the historical integrity of the contributing structure without requiring relocation of the mechanical equipment.
