HDC requires roof-plan exhibit before approving rooftop solar at 25 Dukes Road
Summary
The commission approved rooftop solar at 25 Dukes Road with the condition that the applicant submit a site/roof layout showing panel placement on the roof.
The Nantucket Historic District Commission approved a preliminary application for rooftop solar at 25 Dukes Road on June 17 with a condition that the applicant submit a roof layout showing the roof planes and panel placement.
Commissioners noted that the lot already has two buildings with solar and that the newly proposed roof-mounted panels will be largely screened from public view by adjacent structures. Commissioner Angus moved to approve with a condition requiring a roof plan showing how the panels sit on the roof; the motion passed without recorded opposition.
HDC staff requested that the roof plan be included as an Exhibit A so the COA accurately matches the installed configuration. The board also reminded the applicant that visibility and roof color remain relevant during final review; if roof-mounted panels present a high-visibility contrast, a ground array may be raised in a future application.
The applicant may pick up administrative instructions at the planning office to submit the required exhibit before receiving a final certificate.
