1. 2036 Jefferson Avenue is a contributing structure to the Park City National Register Historic District and the Edgewood-Park City local overlay.

2. The panels and solar collector are proposed to be installed on the rear (south) roof slope. The house features a large, steeply pitched side-gable roof with wide eave overhangs. Also, the house is set back ~45' from the street. The panels and solar collector will not be visible from the public right-of-way, and the inverter will be installed adjacent to existing electrical service equipment. The panels will be mounted parallel to the roof slope and project approximately 2" above the roof. The solar collector should be installed as flush to the roof slope as possible, and not be set at an angle from the roof pitch.

3. No historic roofing material or exterior features will be altered or removed for installation of the solar panels or associated equipment. No changes to the existing roof or siding of the house will be necessary to support the panels.
