Install eight “Cheetah HC 72M 390-410 Watt Mono Perc Half Cell Module solar panels on the south face of the roof on Iron Ridge XR-100 mounting rack; each panel with Enphase Microinverter. ii. Install a PV Solar Dedicated Load Center, AC Solar Disconnect, Generation Panel, Tesla Backup Gateway, and Power Wall on the rear addition, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Chapin Park B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property lines on Chapin Park will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property’s history and development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damage or diseased trees should then be replaced with an approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street in front of the structure shall be open (meaning spaces between the pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant) them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval of a C of A. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property’s history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial / commercial style fences. The installation of unsightly large devices, such as television satellite dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building, are intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visible from a public street, or ruled inappropriate after Commission review. Utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. […] E. MECHANICAL SERVICES The majority of the structures within the district have oil or gas heat, and have brick chimneys through the roof. Some houses have one or two window air conditioners. Required Required mechanical systems shall be placed in areas that will result in the least possible alteration of the structural integrity and physical appearance of the building. Recommended Solar collectors and TV dishes should be placed in the rear of the property and shielded by shrubbery and landscaping. Window air conditioners and exhaust fans should be installed at the rear or an inconspicuous side window. Original lighting fixtures should be utilized whenever possible. SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval for the project, contingent upon the solar panels being obscured from the street.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION AND SITE PLANS The Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County cannot render judgment nor process an Application without specific documentation. Comprehensive documentation protects both the owner of the property submitting the Application as well as providing a complete understanding of the project for the commissioners and staff when rendering a decision. Problems often occur during a project review or during the execution of the project when one or both parties are unclear as to the specifics. Applications will NOT be processed without all required fees and documentation. When an Application has been scheduled for any meeting where a review and decision are to be rendered, the owner and any architect or contractor (s) retained for the project must attend such meetings. Failure by the owner, architect, or contractor to attend such meetings may result in denial of the Application due to insufficient representation. Documentation shall include: detailed written description of the project including materials to be used, scale, dimen- sions, construction methods, finishes, manufacturers’ brochures and specifications and photographs of the area(s) which the project will affect. Photographs may be submitted in digital format, or in photographic print. When a project involves blueprints and/or site plans, one (1) set shall be submitted with the Application. Any documentation submitted to this office cannot be returned to the applicant. INSPECTION AUTHORITY All projects will be inspected during and following execution, for compliance with the decision (s) rendered by the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. Owner acknowledges that while the Historic Preservation Commission only considers Certificates of Appropriateness for exterior features, under certain circumstances it may be necessary for the Commission Staff to have access to the interior of the building in order to accurately assess the condition of the exterior feature and that the lack of access to the interior may prevent the Commission Staff from making a favorable recommendation. Any work performed on a historic landmark or in an historic district which does not conform to the Certificate of Ap- propriateness certificate, shall be immediately halted by the Historic Preservation Commission and the Building De- partment of South Bend and St. Joseph County. INTERGOVERNMENTAL DISCLOSURE Certificates Of Appropriateness will be filed with the Building Department of South Bend and St. Joseph County when the applicant also is required to obtain a building permit or other such permit issued by that department .
