Hello Carlos,
Please hold off on dismissing this request for a permit with the city. We have contacted the HOA
Directors and filed an appeal on their decision. We have been told to be patient and we are waiting to
hear back on this. As I indicted earlier, we have indentified at least 15 or more homes in our
community that placed their AC Mini-Split in the same location as ours. I have submitted addtresses
and photos of at least eight homes within our street and next street. As we walk our community, we
see more and more homeowners that did the same.
Please be patience as we are trying to be on this situation;however, we do not want to be discrimated
against within our own community.
The HOA had requested that our AC Unit be turned off and not operated until this matter is resolved.
Thank You,
Linda Horoshak

Linda,
We have received a letter from the Homeowner’s Association not approving of the location of this facility. With that,
and with our review as well, BMCH2021‐0313 is not approved as it is currently proposed. Due to this, please have the
equipment removed immediately as it is out of compliance. If you wish to still install this equipment, you can reapply
for the building permit with the equipment in a different location. Regards,

Hello Carlos,
As of today we do not have an answer from our HOA and we do not know how much longer they are
going to take regarding this issue. I have noticed several residents in our community have the mini
splits attached to the side wall of their garages rather than mounted on the
concrete slab. Would this make a difference with the city ordinance as far as the 5 foot from property
line? Please advise.
Thank you so much regarding this issue. I am assuming that the HOA is contacting the city regarding
this.
Thanks again,
Linda Horoshak

Hi Linda,
Do you have any update or timeline from your HOA on when they are going to review and provide subsequent feedback
on your proposed AC equipment? We’d like a resolution from them quickly so then we can review all the information
and provide a resolution especially since the equipment is already out there installed out of compliance.
