Solar array proposal at 163 E. Ashland Street tabled after board raises visibility and design concerns
Summary
A Solar Energy World representative proposed a rooftop solar array for 163 E. Ashland Street; the board expressed concerns about conduit visibility, panel size, orientation and reflectivity and voted to table the application pending elevations and sample photos (Chase/Weiner).
A representative from Solar Energy World presented an application for a rooftop solar array at 163 E. Ashland Street. Chair Andy Happ questioned the proposed conduit routing and its potential visibility from the street. Board members raised concerns about the panels’ size, location, reflective nature and uniformity; Ralph Fey offered to forward his elevations and drawings (he is the architect of the home). The board voted to table the application to allow the applicant to return with requested elevations and sample photos (motion Richard Chase; second Seth Weiner).
The minutes note the board’s substantive design and visibility concerns rather than recording any approval; further materials were requested before the board will resume review.
