Explanation

The existing single-family dwelling is a two-story non-contributing structure that was built in 2000 according to the Alachua County Property Appraiser’s data.  The property is zoned Urban 2 and is approximately 0.31 acres in size.  The house is approximately 4,880 square feet in total area, 3,557 square feet in heated area.  The proposal is to install a Tri County Metals TCM-LOK ribbed standing seam metal roof over the existing single-layer shingle roof.  This is a hidden fastener system that will have 24 gauge Galvalume panels. 

Roofs are a highly visible component of historic buildings and are an integral part of a building’s overall design and architectural style.  The Historic Preservation Board discussed and adopted a policy on April 2, 2013 concerning styles of metal roofing which would be allowed within the historic districts.  The Historic Preservation Board approves metal roofing on a case-by-case basis depending on the style and use of the building.  Recommended metal roofing for most buildings in the historic district is a 5-V crimp or standing seam metal, as spacing of these roofs is more sympathetic with historic metal roofs, and exposed fasteners are not as numerous or visible.

Recommendation

Staff to the Historic Preservation Board - Approve Petition HP-20-91.
