Title
Re-roof a Single-Family Dwelling with a Metal Roof (B)
Petition HP-17-35. Ron Thomas and Denise Guerin, owners. Certificate of Appropriateness to re-roof a single-family dwelling with a metal roof. Located at 824 NE 4th Avenue. This building is contributing to the Northeast Residential Historic District.
Explanation
The applicant is proposing to roof-over the existing asbestos shingle roof with a Galvalume 5-V Crimp metal roof system. The back porch area is not included in the new roof-over as it has a 5-V Crimp metal roof that was approved by the Historic Preservation Board in 2013 as part of a Certificate of Appropriateness for a laundry room and a rear porch addition.
The property is located at 824 NE 4th Avenue. The contributing structure was built in 1934, according to the Alachua County Property Appraisers Office. The property is zoned RMF-5. The building is a contributing structure to the Northeast Residential Historic District.
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. Staff recommends approval of the petition based on the condition that the roof shall be 5V Crimp and that the finish shall be Galvalume or a light to medium gray paint finish.
Recommendation
Staff to the Historic Preservation Board - Approve Petition HP-17-35 with the condition that the roof shall be 5V Crimp and that the finish shall be Galvalume or a light to medium gray paint finish.
