truly green home and he does not see a problem with using standing seam metal under the PV and water solar panels and using metal shingles on the rest of the roof. Commissioner Blank added that he does not see the nexus between the Firehouse Art Theater and the home as one is commercial and the other is residential. Commissioner Pentin concurred with Chair Olson. He indicated that he likes what the Harveys have done with their approach in building a green home and, at the same time, trying to adhere to the Heritage district and achieving a balance. He noted that if the proposal was for a metal seam throughout the entire roof, he would not support it; however, having it only on the PV panels and hot water solar panels will not be seen by the neighbors. He stated that he does not see the plan as changing the Heritage district. He started that he supported the current plan proposed by Mr. Harvey and that he should be applauded for the 200 green points. Commissioner O’Connor referred to the comments that the standing seam metal would be installed only under the PV and solar panels and that they would not be visible; however, the architect and the applicant spoke about doing the entire roof where it is low pitch. He asked that this be clarified. Commissioner Blank stated that he would be supportive of having standing seam metal for panels A and B but not under C. He reiterated that a good faith agreement was made between Mr. Harvey and the neighbors.He added that a three-foot walkway may have to be constructed per the Fire Code and would expect this not to be seen. Mr. Dolan explained that the proposal is to install the standing seam metal roof on the entire roof planes where the shingles would be located. Commissioner Blank inquired if material could be put only under the PV and water solar panels. Mr. Dolan replied that this could be done but that it would not be practical. Commissioner O’Connor agreed and noted that the area covered by the hot water solar panel is a very small piece compared to the entire roof of that plane. Commissioner Blank inquired what location was proposed for the non-shingle roof. Mr. Dolan replied that the standing seam metal roof is proposed for all planes of panels A, B and C. Commissioner Blank agreed that it would not be practical to put the standing seam metal only underneath the panels and reiterated that he was supportive of having them only on panels A and B.
