c. 1970
To install a solar panel parking canopy behind existing solar in parking lot 12.
The application was represented by Joseph MacKinnon of Cape Cod Community College, Bob Plakais, and
Steve Gregory of Solect Energy.
There was no public comment.
Discussion:
The representatives noted that the elevation of the road is 11 feet higher than the grade of the current parking
lot. Therefore, drivers will see the installation. Trees will be planted to make the parking canopy not visible
from the road.
Clerk McCarthy commented that the installation of the landscaping will limit the view shed of the canopy
making the project appropriate.
Member Wallace was concerned about the project due to the certificate history regarding the current solar farm
installation. There was hedge that was supposed to be planted with the installation of the solar farm and never
was. MacKinnon was opened to the idea of planting more trees parallel to the road.
Chair Richard noted for the record that the previous application is not the concern for this agenda item.
A motion was made by Clerk McCarthy to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as submitted with the
addition of tree plantings for Cape Cod Community College at 2240 Iyannough Road, West Barnstable, Map

OTHER
Chair Richard made a presentation that the Regional Commission is working on making an exemption for solar that is not on historic
roadways. Anyone that is located on a scenic road would need to apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness. For the non-scenic roads,
if they conform to the criteria, it will be an exempt item. He reviewed the new proposed criteria that the Regional Commission is
working on. This is an attempt to compromise historic preservation efforts and energy efficiency. The Committee discussed the
criteria.
