3/13/20230 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ADOPTED

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said sections 1, 3, 4, and 5 were generally supported and wondered if some panels are area 2 could be moved or some eliminated as they are viewable from the public area. Mike Kaminski, Arch Solar, said the area over the garage that is in question, if removed, takes off about 1/3 of the production. If that part is not included, it affects return on investment and how long it would take to pay off the costs. There are a number of dormers, which makes it harder to build a solid array. Mr. Lynch said the only other option would be industrial panels, which wouldn't be as aesthetically pleasing. There are some vertical panels, but the horizontal panels allows them to fit more for this particular home. They haven't done colored panels yet, as they aren't readily available or easy to apply. Mr. Lynch is a strong environmentalist and thinks that needs to be considered as well in terms of global warming. Mr. Jarosz is concerned as all the garages are on Lake Drive, which is atypical. He thinks this is a problem if we accept this, as it also deviates from the federal guidelines. Mr. Kaminski said they would move it if they could, but there is no place to move them. Mr. Jarosz moved to approve the panels, except those in area 2.

2/6/20230 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION HELD IN COMMITTEE

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is a new construction house from 2007 in a neo-prairie style, low-slung, two-story with five separate arrays of solar panels. The front-most array of panels would be highly visible to the public. He would recommend against array #2 on the garage roof and work with staff for alternate locations for other panels for arrays 1, 3-5. Held as no-one present on this item.
