Historic commission approves garage, decks, renovations, demolition and multiple solar installations
Summary
The Kings Highway Regional Historic District commission approved a series of routine applications — a detached garage, multiple rooftop solar installations, decks and exterior renovations — and approved demolition and a storage shed at 180 South Yarmouth Road with a condition to remove a white PVC fence along the street.
At its meeting in Dennis, the Kings Highway Regional Historic District commission approved a slate of residential and commercial exterior projects, including a detached garage, rooftop solar installations for several homes, exterior renovations, deck replacement and a demolition followed by a conditioned storage-shed proposal at 180 South Yarmouth Road.
Notable approvals included a 26-by-26 detached garage for Judith Echmalion at 36 Janelle Drive presented by architect Alex Pugin; a 22-panel solar installation for Brian Hemler at 25 Tocosa Road presented by Brandon (Isaacson Solar); a 12-panel installation for Sharon Larusso at 14 Delano Lane (Kevin Gibo, Intelligent Solar); and a back-of-house array for Steven Spear at 4 Bark Circle described by the installer as black-on-black modules with a skirt. The board also approved a full exterior renovation for 81 Highland Road (GIP Construction) and a deck replacement and modest extension at 5 Farrington Road.
On a larger property application, Eliza Cox, attorney for P Properties, asked to demolish a circa-1939 one-story ranch at 180 South Yarmouth Road; she said the house and shed had “no historic or architectural interest.” The board approved the demolition. The follow-up application from 3P Properties for a storage shed and site improvements on the same parcel was approved with a condition that the applicant not install a six-foot white PVC fence on the roadside; the board directed plantings and a relocated fence connection to screen the lot instead.
Several approvals were made by unanimous voice vote or with no public opposition. The chair noted the commission aims to approve most solar applications when they meet the bulletin’s visibility and material guidelines, and told applicants the board frequently works with applicants to adjust plans.
Next procedural items: the chair said an appeal of a previously denied Old Town Lane solar application will go to the regional commission and reminded applicants of the 10-day appeal period for aggrieved parties. The meeting adjourned at 06:50.
