Mark McCullough, a member of the congregation, told the commission the church proposed an array originally of 46 panels, later reduced to 42, that would provide about \"100% of the church's electrical usage\" on a south-facing asphalt roof. He said a rooftop installation would \"live out our values of protecting the environment, but will also save our congregation about $5,000 a year.\" The proposal named Revision Energy as the contracted installer.

McCullough presented a visibility analysis showing the full array would be visible from a roughly 0.2-acre area uphill from the Tarratine Club along Park Street and that most public viewpoints would only reveal a few east-most panels. He noted parapets and the adjacent sanctuary building screen much of the roof and that the panels and frames proposed are black to match the existing black roof. He also provided a mock photograph showing inverter locations and said the inverters would project about 8.5 inches from the north wall.

The applicant informed the commission Versant (the local utility) performed a Level 1 interconnection review and indicated the project would require a transformer upgrade on Park Street and a new pole to accommodate the higher capacity. McCullough said that utility work increases the congregation's costs and was a factor in reducing the proposed array size.

Planning staff and the applicant referenced Department of the Interior guidance for solar on historic properties and the Secretary of the Interior standards. McCullough said Revision Energy assured that panel mounts would be reversible and would not damage the roof, and that conduit could be painted black to blend with the roof and wall.

Commission members discussed visibility and alternatives. Several commissioners said they found the applicant's supplemental visibility mapping and the decision to reduce the array reassuring. After motions to find the application satisfied the relevant subsections of the historic-preservation code, the commission issued the certificate of appropriateness. Roll-call votes recorded Nathaniel King ' yes; Anne Marie Quinn ' yes; Liam Reardon ' yes; Chair Edmond Suresky ' yes.

The commission's approvals covered the rooftop installation as described in the application and the supplemental materials; the file notes the applicant modified the proposal to 42 panels during the meeting. The applicant and installer remain responsible for final interconnection permits, utility upgrades, and any required building permits.","The Historic Preservation Commission approved installation of rooftop solar on the Dorothy Memorial Building at 120 Park Street for the Unitarian Universalist Society, with the applicant reducing the array and addressing visibility and conduit color.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6486886,"Bangor commission approves porch repairs and paver replacement at 18 West Broadway",1419,899000,2318000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588912-e575cd470f53bf98951a4d0b3418c65c&start=899&end=2318","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588912-e575cd470f53bf98951a4d0b3418c65c/thumbnail_899000.jpg","/articles/6486886/Bangor-City/Penobscot-County/Maine/Bangor-commission-approves-porch-repairs-and-paver-replacement-at-18-West-Broadway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6486886-c29444f481b291c4890b54e37a983613/orig.mp4?Expires=1771053480&Signature=PnExqPAqySnsexoSpbPjvi0VTz6orT25cm8w53Jv000Zxl0UKdAGbPEBXpjXiQbhgLcz~kgGbJXPuQpmU9TxIOWt7gmsUZW5dvPQtDV9Oy9jz0fGSqbHGyFV5YC1Xgze2Tuusycmo9UW-7QznCjZEr-Sw-onK2JP228S9qlCBa6ORpkSKB8Ani3uLgF3mMUav0DofvnJ1jCp3c9wAiGOT1g86xsTjzJNGEI1x4VSfjiNB1Ga3gjrLAysmnOYUo22ZSC1LvcsOpgRWg-CpSNSQ4Ix4hEbbNi3wqmud5HmspUUKgo-o23FDKxqnlDxsJwF5lwDapWdLZLPtJUoAmpx4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bangor City Historic Preservation Commission on Aug. 14 granted a certificate of appropriateness to Carl Huntley, owner of 18 West Broadway (the Charles L. Hayward House), to replace a failing concrete walkway with vintage pavers and to repair and replace front porch decking, steps and limited column bases.

The commission found that the proposed work met the city's historic-preservation standards and voted on a series of findings required by the ordinance before issuing the certificate. The motions adopted included specific findings that rehabilitation would not destroy distinguishing features, replacement materials should match the originals when necessary, and that work should be reversible when possible.

Huntley told the commission Mitchell's Landscaping would remove about 41 feet of existing concrete walk and install \"vintage Holland Grand Hillbund pavers,\" saying, \"I believe these vintage pavers will add to the historic facade of the home.\" He described the existing walkway as cracked, uneven and pushed up by tree roots.

On the porch, Huntley said contractor Restorations Unlimited will remove the existing pressure-treated decking, repair rot near two column bases and reinstall six columns after the decking work. He described two options for decking and steps: composite decking or Douglas fir, and said he preferred composite for durability but that Douglas fir would allow an exact color match.

Commission consultant Mike Pullen told the commission the proposed paver scale \"is much more in keeping with the historic house than the concrete walk that's failing there now\" and read brief architectural context identifying the house as a Queen Anne-style building constructed about 1893.

Commission discussion touched on railing retention and material selection for the porch floor. Commissioners said both composite and Douglas fir would be acceptable and that the applicant could be left to choose between them, provided the material matched the existing appearance and met preservation requirements. The commission also asked that oral items highlighted in the application be entered into the record as part of the written file.

After a series of roll-call votes on the ordinance subsections cited in the application, the commission voted to issue the certificate of appropriateness. Roll-call votes recorded Nathaniel King ' yes; Anne Marie Quinn ' yes; Liam Reardon ' yes; Chair Edmond Suresky ' yes.

The commission's approvals included (1) replacement of the concrete walkway with the pavers described in the application, (2) replacement or repair of porch decking and two front steps, (3) temporary removal and reinstallation of six porch columns to allow decking repairs, (4) replacement of the small metal fascia band and installation of a new EPDM roof above the porch, and (5) allowance for the applicant to select either composite decking or Douglas fir for the porch and steps.

Work must proceed under the normal timeline for approved projects; the commission reiterated that projects must be started within six months of approval and completed within one year, per the local ordinance.

The commission's file for the project includes exhibit materials and samples the applicant provided at the meeting; those materials are entered into the public record.","The Bangor City Historic Preservation Commission granted a certificate of appropriateness for repairs to the front porch and replacement of a concrete walkway with vintage-style pavers at 18 West Broadway (Charles L.
