The attic windows are replacements with COA 2005-0118B. A mudroom was added to the rear of the home with COA 2006- 0627. The roof is a replacement. COA 2016-0726 approved removal and replacement of an Ash tree, installation of an inground swimming pool, replacing patio and extending around pool, new siding and roof on garage and extending roof of garage 6' to create a covered patio, installation of retaining wall in front yard, installation of two Craftsman -style porch lights and low-profile motion -detected security lights for driveway, and installation of architectural shingles on house roof. APPLICATION ITEMS: “Adding roof mounted solar array. See site diagram for panel” DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant has requested approval to: Install solar panel array to the Southeast and Southwest roof faces. Install solar panel array to the Southeast face of the garage roof. Install solar inverter and disconnect on the Southwest corner of the house near the electric meter. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK E. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 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 Mechanical systems shall be placed in areas that will result in the least possible alteration to the structural integrity and physical appearance of the building. Solar collectors and TV dishes shall be placed at the rear of the property and shielded by shrubbery and landscaping. Recommended Window air conditioners and exhaust fans should be installed at the rear or at an inconspicuous side window. Original lighting fixtures should be retained whenever possible. Prohibited Holes shall not be cut through walls or roofs to accommodate air conditioners or other mechanical equipment in areas that can be seen from the street. Not Recommended Exterior electrical and telephone cables should not be attached to the street elevations of the buildings. SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
