An Exterior Alteration Application must be submitted for new exterior heating and air conditioning units and apparatus used with same. However, replacement units that are substantially the same as the already approved units they are replacing do not need to be submitted. New units will most likely be approved if the following criteria are met:
1. Units are screened from the street allowing proper airflow around it (see guideline on Screening).
2. Units are located as close to the rear of the house as possible.
3. Window or wall mounted air conditioner units will usually not be approved, but will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Application Requirements:
Submit a site (plat) plan showing the location of the unit and any related equipment. Include a manufacturer's drawing and/or photograph, if available.
