Present were Ms. Herbert, Ms. Bellin, Ms. Harper, Ms. McCrea, Mr. Spang and Mr. Hart. Ms. Keenan arrived later in the meeting. 390 Essex Street Ms. Bellin abstained from the discussion and joined the audience. Steven Sass and Ellen Golub submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to install two iron railings for the front entrance. The spindles will be straight, not twisted. Documents &Exhibits • Application • Photographs Ms. Herbert asked if the railing he purchased will fit. Mr. Sass replied in the affirmative. Ms. McCrea asked if there were railings there originally. Mr. Sass stated that he thought there was at one time,because there are holes in the granite. He stated that the Building Inspector has is requiring that he install railings. He stated that he would also like the option to put the same iron railing on the other set of stairs, instead of the approved wood railing. Ms. Herbert stated that he would have to apply for the other side. Mr. Spang asked if the purchased railings created any dimensional issues with Building Department. Mr. Sass stated that he will talk to the Building Inspector prior to installation. Mr. Hart stated that there may be a requirement that the rail extend beyond the first step. There was no public comment. VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to approve the application as submitted, conditional that the railing installation is per Building Inspector approval and should it require alteration,the owner will need to reapply. Ms. McCrea seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. Mr. Hart noted the hoods on both entries are exactly the same. Ms. Bellin rejoined the members at the table. Other Business a. FY2012 Survey & Planning Grant Ms. Guy stated that the City has been invited to submit a full application for a Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) Survey and Planning Grant to prepare an update of the interpretive history panels located in several of Salem's neighborhoods. The original signs are from the 1970s and are out of date and dilapidated. The city intends to update the historical text, design and layout for 4+panels. She provided a draft letter of support. VOTE: Ms. Bellin made a motion to send the letter of support. Ms. McCrea seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. b. Correspondence Ms. Guy stated that she received a copy of a letter from MHC to KVA Associates, regarding rehabilitation of Collins Middle School & Saltonstall School, finding no adverse effect,.for new windows and masonry repairs. t c. Approval of Minutes VOTE: Ms. Bellin made a motion to approve the minutes of 11/16/12, 11/28/12, 12/7/12, and 12/21/12 as amended. Ms. McCrea seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. d. Status Update on St. Joseph's Complex Redevelopment Under Section 106 Review Ms. Herbert stated that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has weighed in and wants DHCD to take another look at their decision. She stated that today's meeting of the consulting parties has been postponed until a future date and that we are now in a holding pattern. e. Status Update on 18 Felt Street—ZBA Petition for Variance to be heard on 1/18/11, which will include demolition of house and 2 accessory buildings Ms. Herbert stated that the developer is now going to save the house. At the neighborhood meeting last night, neighbors were concerned over what will be built on the other two lots. She informed them that the Historic Commission has no jurisdiction over what is built. Ms. Herbert noted that she has gotten estimates for moving the carriage house to the same lot proposed for the house, which will be reduced to 16,000 s.f. feet. The house went on the market on Friday, with the option to move the carriage house. She is hopeful that there will be no application to the Commission for waiver of the Demolition Delay Ordinance. Patty Kelleher, 53 Larchmont Road, asked if the developer is going forward with the original petition to the ZBA for frontage. Ms. Herbert replied in the affirmative, noting that it is the one piece they will need. She noted that the proposed configuration to be presented is now different, with the lot line now 10' to the left of the house. She stated that they still need 15' of frontage. Ms. Kelleher thanked Ms. Herbert for all her efforts. Mr. Hart stated that Ms. Herbert, as a private citizen, dealt with the developer, sought him out and somehow convinced him to preserve the house. He stated that Ms. Herbert is owed a debt of gratitude for turning the project around to where the developer has agreed to save the house for at least a period of time. Ms. Herbert stated that if the developer gets the variance, he now intends to preserve the house with no end date, which she felt was amazing. VOTE: There being no further business, Ms. McCrea made a motion to adjourn. Ms. Bellin seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. Respectfully submitted, Jane A. Guy Clerk of the Commission SALEM HISTORICAL COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 7, 2012 A meeting of the Salem Historical Commission was held on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 7:30 pm at 120 Washington Street, Salem, MA. Present were Ms. Herbert, Ms. Bellin, Ms. Harper, Ms. Keenan, Ms. McCrea and Mr. Hart. 388 Essex Street Ms. Bellin abstained from the discussion and joined the audience. In continuation of a prior meeting Steven Sass and Ellen Golub submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to have the option to install an iron railings for the rebuilt rear porch. The applicant was not present. Documents &Exhibits • Application Photographs It was noted that the owner has proceeded with the railing in wood. VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to deny the application without prejudice. Ms. McCrea seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. Ms. Bellin rejoined the Commission at the table. 18 Butler Street George J.

Mr. Hart seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. 19 Fowler Street Charles Bean and Susan Linder Bean submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to install a photovoltaic system. Documents &Exhibits • Application • Photographs ■ . Photo-simulations • .Plans completed by Sollular, LLC • LG Mononx Catalog pages • Empase.com pages • Ironridge Installation Manual Kathleen Long, Chief Operating Officer of Sollular, LLC stated that it will be a 3.2kw photovoltaic system with 13 panels and one array. It will be located on one side of the roof only, in one neat array. Ms. Herbert asked the profile, how high they will sit. Ms. Long replied that they will sit 3"off the roof. She stated that it is a dark colored panel and that the idea is, being considerate of the historic preservation of the property, they did not standard traditional inverter technology, which typical sits on the side of the building. They will use micro- converters, which sit up inside the panel. She stated that the electricity flows to a revenue grade meter, a small box that sits up outside the array. There will also be a small box that is a utility disconnect. The units are approximately 4"x 6". A thin conduit will come down and run into the basement. The panels are installed 48"on center. Their company is professional licensed engineers, professional electricians and licensed general contractors. When they do a site assessment,they do an electrical assessment, as well as a structural assessment and go into the rafters. They did a full out engineering plan and the roof can support the load. She stated that nothing would be seen on the other side of the home and that there will be nothing visible from rear. She stated that they are very non- intrusive and the only thing you will see from the street when you look up is a 3"overhang on one side of the house. The system's energy will be used completely by the home, which is called behind the meter solar. This is renewable clean energy that is being used to offset the existing demand. Ms. Herbert asked if this will take care of all their energy needs or just supplement it. Ms. Long stated that it will supplement it, therefore reducing their electric bill. She stated that nothing will be put back on the grid. Ms. Linder-Bean stated that it is supposed to be 95%. Ms. Bellin asked where the meter and utility disconnect will be. She stated that it is run through the rafters on the inside and indicated on the plans where the meter and disconnect will be. Ms. Linder-Bean stated that the meter is currently inside. Ms. Long stated that, in that case,the meter will be on inside of house. The utility disconnect will be visible in the lower corner outside. Ms. Herbert asked how big the conduit down the side of the building will be. Ms. Long stated that it is about a half inch. Ms. McCrea asked if they have other installations in Salem. Ms. Long replied in the negative, but noted that they have worked all over the Boston area, including residential and commercial. They have 50 projects in the Boston Area. She stated that they are one of Home Depot's largest installers. They have a master services agreement with TD Bank. They do utility grade solar as well. Ms. Herbert the length of time for payout on the system, the cost of installation versus the savings on the electric. Ms. Long stated that the owners are entering into a sun run program She stated that the system is paid for up front and there are two ways to recover the investment. One is the avoided cost, which is the energy that your system is generating during the day and you are no longer being billed for by the utility company. There is a secondary source of income called a Solar Renewal Energy Certificate (SREC). For every 1000 kw hour generated,they earn one certificate. Right now in Massachusetts certificates, which are a commodity, trade at over$500 a piece. The homeowner will earn 3 certificates per year, at the current rate this system will generate $1500 of income, in addition to the avoided cost. At the present moment, the payback runs between 36 and 48 months. She noted that for own home, her payback was 38 months. Ms. Bellin asked about a net meter. Ms. Long stated that it replaces the utility grade meter and looks almost identical, only it is digital. During the day, the meter is going backwards, as the system is producing electricity. At night it moves forward. If the energy is not being used, it is being placed back on the grid through the net meter. The utility company at the end of the month will reconcile your bill. She stated that the warrantee is 20+years. It is a LG 255 watt panel. She stated that the panels sit on a racking system, which distributes the weight of the panels, so that each panel is not screwed into the roof. She stated that the nice thing about solar panels is they keep a constant warm temperature and melt ice and snow. They encourage their customers to hose off the panels once per year, usually in Spring with pollen season. Ms. Bellin asked how close they will sit to the roof line. Ms. Long stated that they will be 6" back from the front. Ms. Bellin asked home much room is to the peak. Ms. Herbert asked if it could be moved back. Ms. Guy asked why they chose that side of the roof and not the other. Ms. Long stated that it is an orientation issue. They would not be able to capture enough sunlight to create enough energy for the warrantee for the production guarantee. Ms. Long stated that they could not move them back as they have maxed out the roof with the proper setbacks. Ms. Bellin stated that they are pretty much taking up the entire. Ms. Long replied in the affirmative. Mr. Hart stated that it will be visible from the public way, noting that the photo was taking 2 or 3 houses away. { Ms. Herbert asked about the air space with the racking that the panels sit on and whether one will see a black line or light going through. Ms. Long stated that it is a dark roof and the double row of panels that sit flush together and go to the peak, so it is unlikely that one will see light. Mr. Hart stated that he would like a site visit. He stated that it has the potential for precedent setting installation. He stated that he understands it is minimal, but that he was not comfortable voting until there is site visit to see the site distances. Ms. Herbert asked if it is possible to put a panel in place to see at the site visit. Ms. Long stated that she could ask an engineer to meet on site and go on the roof with a panel. Ms. Herbert stated that it could be some kind of a mockup. Ms. Harper suggested a section of panel or something the same size and same height off the roof. Ms. Herbert stated it could even be black Styrofoam fashioned to look like a panel so we can stand back and see. It would not need to be an actual panel, but would need to be the dimensions of the panel and the same black color. She stated that she could see that a lot of people might be interested. She noted with this particular roof design, it won't be seen as much, but stated that it would really be obvious if this house were an a-frame. She stated that this system would be a case by case basis depending on the construction of the building. Paul Marquis, City of Salem Energy Manager, stated that he and the Renewable Energy Task Force had a hand in advising on the Commission's guidelines. He stated that the Fire Chief has indicated concerns about the setbacks from the roof edges,particularly the front and rear edge of the roof. Fire Marshalls across the state have worked to develop some general guidelines. He advised that there be is due diligence in making sure that the setback guidelines are met. He stated that it may require the sacrifice of one of the modules to meet a safety set back. There is some strong sentiment with Salem's Fire Chief regarding setbacks. P Ms. Long stated that they leave 6" around the entire array on every side. She noted that they are not covering both sides of the roof and that the utility disconnects at are ground level, so that the Fire Department is able to throw the switch. Mr. Marquis stated that he is not suggesting that 6" is not enough, but is suggesting that a consultation with the Fire Department is warranted, particularly when dealing with an historic district. Ms. Herbert stated that it sounds like the proposal probably needs to be run by the Fire Department to get their reading on it. She stated that this is a first in Salem and we need to get this right. Ms. McCrea asked if the State has developed regulations or are coming up with its own. Mr. Marquis stated that he could not answer definitively, but noted that there is some consensus among fire safety officials. There is the code and what public safety officials would like to see. Ms. Guy asked what other permits are needed. She asked if a Fire Department permit was required. i Mr. Marquis replied in the negative. He stated that it requires Building, Electrical and an interconnection agreement with the utility company. Ms. Bean stated that they have all three. Mr. Marquis stated that he is a strong proponent of renewable energy, but wants to get it right, since it is a test case for solar in a historic district. Ms. Herbert asked if there are any installations in Salem outside of historic districts. Mr. Marquis replied in the affirmative. He stated that he has a document from Chief Cody with preferred setbacks and UL disconnect requirements. He will email it to Ms. Guy to forward. Mr. Hart suggested a site visit. He stated that he would like to understand what the disconnect looks like and where it is going to be. He stated he thinks solar is great, but wants to be sure what is installed is appropriate for the historic district. Ms. Long encouraged the city to develop its own ordinance. Ms. Be]lin stated that considering this is first one, it is an ideal model to be the first one because of the unobtrusive roof. She stated that she also wants to know the dimensions. Mr. Hart noted that you have to stand relatively far back to see it and it is not a heavily traveled public way. Ms. Herbert stated most drivers will take the right onto North Pine. She noted solar approvals will be on a case by case basis and in this case, it will be minimally visible from a well-traveled public way. Rick Bingham, Advanced Performance Solar, stated that he lives in salem. He stated that he can answer any questions. Ms. Herbert closed the public hearing. VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to continue the application and to schedule a site visit on Saturday I oth or 17`h, and, if possible, the proponent provide a mock up of the array for the roof and the utility disconnect. Ms. Bellin seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. 16 River Street Kevin &Melissa Hankens submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a 3' high picket fence along the top of the retaining wall at the porch end of the upper driveway. Pickets to be 2" in width and the fence will match the picket fence located by their front door. Paint Swiss Coffee to match proposed house trim.

Ms. McCrea seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. 37 Chestnut Street Daniel Randal and Phillip Gillespie submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a 3' x 12' bay on the West elevation of the existing wood frame extension at the rear of the house. It will have a brick foundation to match existing, wood windows, a copper roof and wood trim details painted white to match existing trim on house. The dentil detail shown on the bay will match the existing on the eave of the main house. The fagade is obscured from the public way. The application also includes the replacement of the existing wood frame mudroom/sunroom and covered porch with a wood frame mudroom/conservatory with wood windows, wood trim details painted white to match the existing, and a copper conservatory roof. They propose extending the rear fagade by 2.5 feet toward the south. They also propos to demolish the existing wood stair on the East side of the home, as well as, the wood deck at the rear (South) side of the house. An unused brick chimney on the South side of the clapboard structure will also be removed. • Application • Photographs • Plans completed by Foley Fiore Architecture • Plot Plan prepared by Edward J. Farrell Mr. Gillespie stated that he moved up from Pennsylvania a few years ago. He stated that the purpose of the project is for their young daughters, and that they want to provide an informal living space for the children that has an eat-in family area and is close to the outside. David Foley, architect, stated that they are removing the existing wood frame structure and will construct a conservatory structure. They will add a small bay onto the family room. The house will extend rearward by 2.5 feet. The wooden deck will be removed. Mr. Foley stated that the bay on the side is not terribly visible from street. It is obscure from Warren Street, and is most visible from ^ Chestnut street but from a distance. Mr. Gillespie stated that they tried to design the fagade similar to what is there. Mr. Foley stated that it looks like the structure has evolved over years. It does not have a foundation. Mr. Gillespie stated that it is hard to tell what was there originally. Mr. Foley showed a sample of standing seam copper roof. He stated it will be the same detail whether glass panels or copper. Ms. Herbert asked if the conservatory will be glass and wood. Mr. Foley replied in the affirmative and stated it is a wooden base, with glass and wood, and wooden pilasters. Ms. Herbert asked the material for the lower roof. Mr. Foley stated it will be standing seam copper and portions would be glass. Mr. Hart stated that he was not sure if the West elevation is visible from the public way. Mr. Gillespie stated that it is minimally visible from Warren Street and not visible from Chestnut Street. Ms. Herbert asked if they are removing the side deck. Mr. Foley replied in the affirmative. Ms. Herbert asked if they will add a new deck. Mr. Gillespie replied in the negative and added that they may have flush brick patio. Ms. Harper asked about the windows. Mr. Foley stated that they will be Marvin double hung in the bay, and casement in the conservatory, with simulated divided lights. Mr. Gillespie stated that they will be all wood. Ms. Herbert asked the size on the mullions. Mr. Foley stated that they will match what is on the house. Mr. Hart stated that it is a very well done application package. He stated that it is a subsidiary portion of the building. He stated that it does not really emulate Federal architecture, but that it is interesting whimsy of design. He noted that it meets the National Park Service guidelines for an addition to be separate and distinct from the building and not pretending to be a Federal building. He noted that the visibility is rather minimal. Mr. Gillespie stated that he did not believe it will be visible at all in the summer, Ms. Harper asked if the chimney will be removed. Ms. Gillespie replied in the affirmative and stated that it was probably a chimney for a subsidiary cooking stove at one point. It is not being used. They will reuse its brick to do bay foundation. Ms. Keenan stated that she thought the proposal was great. VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to approve the application as submitted. Ms. McCrea seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. Other Business f.

Ms. Herbert stated that the applicant has withdrawn his application and that the house is under agreement. 66 & 68 Derby Street Jay and Neal Levy submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for paint colors and the installation of fencing for the front and side lines. Documents&Exhibits • Application • Photographs • Paint samples • Site Plan • Catalog pages from Walpole Woodworker Jay Levy stated that the trim will be tan on both houses. The red will be the body color for 66 and the khaki color will be the body color of 68. The doors and fencing will be Verde Green on both. Neal Levy stated that they did not like the way the wall color was coming out. Jay Levy stated that it will now be somewhere between the proposed trim color and the body color of 69. Neal Levy stated that he did not want it too light because the joints will show through. He stated that the darker the color, the less will show. Jay Levy stated that a lot of the wall will be hidden from view by fencing. He stated that it can only be seen behind 68 when coming down Derby Street. Ms. Harper asked if the wall is stepped. Jay Levy replied in the affirmative. Neal Levy stated that it has a foundation, 4' down into ground of poured concrete. He stated that part is exposed and there is a block is on top. They will stucco the wall and any exposed part of the foundation. Ms. Harper asked what kind of cap it will have. Neal Levy stated that they are just repairing the existing, standard 2"block. Mr. Hart asked if there is a name for the red color. Jay Levy stated that the colors are custom made. Ms. Herbert asked if the colors are on record with Waters and Brown.

The design is shown on Page 23 of the Walpole Woodworkers catalog and they will replicate what is in the photo. It will be capped as shown in the photo and have posts on each end. Jay Levy stated that the back fence will be a solid good neighbor fence, the same on both sides, with post and cap, which will start at the edge of the wall at 68 and go to corner of the house with a gate on the right side. The A/C units will be behind the fence, which is 6' high. The fence locations are noted on the site plan. They will also connect the space between two houses with that fence. The 66 side will have a gate adjoining the house to get to the back of the house. There will be a divider that goes ' from the fence to the back wall at 68. Both parcels to be exclusive and private. Mr. Hart asked what provisions will they make for sound attenuations for the a/c condensers. Ms. Herbert stated that they need to be installed by code, which she believed allows for 5 feet from the property line. Jay Levy stated that, if it becomes a nuisance, the Board of Health and.the Building Inspector will come out and check the decibel rating and tell us whether we need to do something or not, such as a sound barrier fence. He stated that as long as it is within the set back area, he does not anticipate a problem. There was no public comment. VOTE: Ms. McCrea made a motion to approve the fencing as proposed. Mr. Spang seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried.

Mr. Hart noted that the visual aspects are much diminished from the original plan. Ms. McCrea asked if the clear glass will get hot. Mr. Drown stated that they will put in a sliding shade.

He stated that one will be tucked behind the bay. The locations are noted as "X" on the plan. He stated that they are using condensers because they currently have oil and want gas. He stated that to switch to baseboard ° is too expensive,therefore the most logical switch to gas is by having central air. It will not be cooling the whole house,just cooling floors. VOTE: Ms. McCrea made a motion to approve the condensers as submitted. Ms. Keenan seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried. 60 DerbV Street Gina Atwood submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to install a railing on the front stairs.

Ms. Atwood replied in the affirmative and noted that the VA requires the railing in order to fund the loan. Ms. Herbert asked if it has to have all balusters. She stated that the picture looks a little 1950s. Ms. Atwood stated that she did not know the answer, but stated that they tried to come up with a solution that looks historical. Ms. Herbert stated that Hamilton hall is a good example, and suggested they check with the Building Inspector. She stated that she feels less is more and it should be kept really simple. She suggested having a single square newel post on the first step with a continuous top rail which fashions to the house with a fleur de lis escutcheon. Mr. Hart stated that depending on the height, the maximum is 4"between balusters. He stated that he J felt it was worthwhile checking with the Building Inspector to see what they require. He noted that Julius Blum, Inc. has railing components.

He stated that the architectural shingle weighs twice as much and will hold up better. Ms. Herbert stated that while the Commission hasn't approved the slanted, the roof design might accommodate that shape. Mr. Hart stated that somehow the structure previously got roofed with architectural shingles. Mr. Jagolta stated that the roof was done when he bought the house in 1993.

Ms. Harper asked if there were architectural shingles on the roof before they started this project. Mr. Jagolta replied in the affirmative.

She stated that she felt it was a blemish on a great job. Mr. Hart agreed it is very prominent. Ms. Herbert noted that the beach tree was never planted, and that the tulip tree planted around the side was planted too deep and therefore it probably won't do well. Mr. Spang stated that the job is done and that the only way to require changes now is to have a commitment letter in hand of what they said they would do.

Guy Clerk of the Commission CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS It is hereby certified that the Salem Historical Commission has determined that the proposed: ❑ Construction ❑ Moving 10 Reconstruction ❑ Alteration ❑ Demolition ❑ Painting ❑ Signage ❑ Other work as described below will be appropriate to the preservation of said Historic District, as per the requirements set forth in the Historic District's Act (M.G.L. Ch. 40C) and the Salem Historic Districts Ordinance. District: McIntire Address of Property- 19 Fowler Street Name of Record Owner: Charles Bean& Susan Linder-Bean Description of Work Proposed: Installation of photovoltaic system per Solular, LLC plan E-I dated 12/21/11 and photo simulations. Panels to be LG Mono X LG255S1 C with end caps. Installation to be on the upper portion of the gambrel roof Frame to be dark aluminum, mounted with Iron Ridge XRS Solar Rail System. Approval is conditional that, within 60 days, the applicant or representative will provide a sample panel for the Commission to view. Approval is based on the following findings: • This application is unique in that it is the first solar application being reviewed by the Commission and that the Commission has limited experience with which to adequately judge the application. In this regard, the Commission has determined this installation to be a pilot or test case, which may make the existing guidelines subject to modification, to which future applications may be subject. • With regard to this.specific installation and house, it was determined that there is no subsidiary building for an alternative location, there is no adequate yard space for a ground installation and there are no architectural features for which the system can be completely hidden from the public way. It will be placed on the upper slope of a gambrel roof, which has been determined to be less visible from the public way and due to the minimal roof slope, it will only be visible at a significant distance from the house.
