Request variance for lack of 3 foot clearance in front of panel. Violation of National Electric Code, Section 110-16. Vice Chairman Kazak administered the oath to L. Tennant, Shore West Construction, M. Narowitz and T. Laidley, representing the electrical contractor. Mr. Tennant explained that this problem occurred only on the "B" units of the triplex buildings because the electrical panel boxes were not installed as close to the wall as they should have been. There will be a two foot clearance in front of the boxes, and they need 3 foot. The washing machines were set 2 feet away from the boxes. It was clarified that there is a pan under the washer which has a drain in it so in the event that a washer overflows, water will not drain into the unit below. These pans have been grounded as required by the electrical inspector. If the washer is moved there will be 4 to 5 foot clearance and when a unit is sold the owners are advised that the washer has to be removed before any work can be done on the box. The electricians suggested that a sticker could be placed on the boxes. Mr. Kazak preferred that a permanent metal or plastic plate stating that "the washer must be moved out of the pan before servicing the electrical ganel" should be placed 1
