Background The buildings at 75 and 83 School Street have a Greek Revival and Victorian eclectic architectural style with gable roof forms fronting on School Street. The building at 75 School was constructed in 1850; the building at 83 School was constructed in 1887 and is historically known as the Dorcas S. Ellis house. Dorcas S. Ellis house is significant in its architecture and is inventoried as a contributing structure in multiple Area Forms and two National Register Districts. 75 School Street is significant in its architecture and is inventoried as a contributing structure in multiple Area Forms and two National Register Districts. Both buildings are contributing to the Pleasant Street/School Street National Register Historic District, roughly bounded by Main, School, South, and Pleasant Streets and has 51 contributing properties. This district is representative of the mid-19th century maritime heritage of the village. The applicant is proposing to demolish two accessory structures located on the 75 School Street parcel – an unattached pavilion/canopy and a small garage. The Commission granted a Certificate of Appropriateness in 2008 to build the unattached pavilion/canopy and has no historical or architectural significance. The date of the garage’s construction is unknown although it does retain potentially significant architectural detail but is not mentioned in any of the Area Inventory forms or National Register nominations as a contributing structure. Proposal The applicant is proposing to demolish two accessory structures located on the 75 School Street property – an unattached pavilion/canopy and a small garage. The intent of the demolition is to consolidate the applicant’s operations and unify both parcels by adding two new structures. Existing Condition: Pavillion/Canopy 4 Existing Condition: Garage Existing Condition: Site Plan Staff Comment: The Commission may wish to determine the significance of both buildings before a motion is voted upon. The HHDC Guidelines recommend that properties located in a National Register district or that contribute to the significance of the district does not alter the local review process, but it provides the owner and the HHDC a clear indication that a building or site is historically significant. The greater the historic value of a structure, the greater the importance of preserving original architectural and site features. Repairs, alterations, or rehabilitations of historically significant buildings should preserve or restore original architectural elements that give a structure its historic value. Although buildings and structures must be adapted to meet the needs of individual owners, alterations should be 5 made with respect for the structure and its significance to the community and to the Hyannis Historic District. Whenever possible, historically significant buildings should be adapted and not replaced. At a minimum, preservation of historic façades should be considered as an alternative to building demolition.

The intent of the demolition is to consolidate the applicant’s operations and unify both parcels by adding two new structures. Proposal The second application is for the construction of a new Campus Hub where the pavilion/canopy is currently located. The new single story 1275 SF Campus Hub structure is designed to relate to the existing Greek Revival houses on School Street. The programming of the Campus Hub is to serve as the common kitchen and dining area with supporting spaces. Proposed Elevations: Campus HUB 6 Proposed Siting: Campus HUB Staff Comment: Commission members should reference HHDC Guidelines for New Construction and consider Building Form, Spacing, Scale and Proportion, Massing, Relation of Buildings to the Street and Roof Form. The Commission may want to inquire about the height of the existing historic structures at 75 and 83 School Street and whether the height of the new structures will be greater than the primary historic structures. The Commission may also want to determine if the double doors at the front entrance to the Campus Hub match existing front entry patterns found on School Street. The Commission members should also reference HHDC Guidelines for Site Design and Exterior features found on Page 16 and Parking Area recommendations on Page 17. The overall material palete for the proposed buildings conform to HHDC guideline recommendations. Solar panel guidance is not mentioned in the HHDC Guidelines but the existing canopy currently has roof mounted solar panels.
