[MassHistPres] Local Historic Districts-Design Review Examples

[Chris Skelly]

Hello, this question is for those commissions reviewing projects within a
local historic district.  I am preparing an interactive design review
training exercise for a local historic district commission.

The goal is to provide challenging examples to the commission and generate
discussion, so they will be better positioned to review similar challenging
applications in the future.

So far, sample projects within the exercise include window replacement,
solar panels, public art, a stand-alone accessory dwelling unit, a
replacement fence and a historic sign alteration.

What other types of projects do you think should be included within a
90-minute design review exercise?

What recent projects have come before your commission that you didn’t
expect, struggled with as a commission or found very complicated to
review.  If you have any ideas, I would very much like to hear more about
them.  All of the examples in the exercise become fictionalized.  So,
nothing is tied to a certain community.

Chris
