Exterior electrical and telephone cables should not be attached to the street elevations of the building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the re -roofing (as a routine maintenance exclusion). With consideration and understanding of the Chapin Park Local Historic District Standards and Guidelines, staff would recommend approval of the rear -facing solar panels. Staff is cognizant of the Recommendation that the Standards and Guidelines state that solar collectors (or panels) "should be placed in the rear of the property," and would therefore recommend denial of any street - facing panels. Written by Adam Toering Deputy Director Approved by Elicia Feasel Executive Director Public Discussion: Sheila McCarthy of 519 S St. Joseph Street, spoke in support of the project, specifically regarding the minimal visibility of the proposed panels from the alley and the street. She also voiced support that the neighborhood should embrace solar energy. Emily Dean of 815 Leland Avenue, spoke in support of the project and promoting renewable energy production within the historic district. Commissioner Molnar moved to approve conditionally to maximize all potential options for west facing solar -panels but adding an exclusion to restrict the east facing (east roof portion) solar panels as submitted. Seconded by Commissioner Hertel. All in favor, none opposed. Vote: 6 — 0 COA#2017-1002C Approved with conditions, unanimously. 4.815 Leland COA#2017-1002D #9574-05 Chapin Park Representation by Emily Dean, 815 Leland Avenue STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 11 October 2017 Application Number: 2017-1002D Property Location: 815 Leland Avenue Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Gabled -ell / 1900 Property Owner: Julian and Emily Dean Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local and National Historic District , Ordinance #9574-05 Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: The 2 story irregular frame house sets upon a brick foundation facing east onto Leland Avenue.
