Re-roof a single-family dwelling with a metal roof (B)
Petition HP-16-28. Randy Wheeler, agent for Kimberly Heiss. Re-roof a single-family dwelling with a Galvalume standing seam metal roof. Located at 639 NE 10th Avenue. This building is contributing to the Northeast Residential Historic District.
Explanation
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing architectural shingle roof with a Galvalume standing seam metal roof system. The property is located at 639 NE 10th Avenue. The non-contributing structure was built in 1946, according to the Alachua County Property Appraisers Office. The property is zoned RSF-3. The building is a non-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 standing seam and that the finish be Galvalume or a light to medium gray paint finish.
Recommendation
Staff to the Historic Preservation Board - Approve Petition HP-16-28 with the condition that the roof is standing seam metal and that the finish is Galvalume or a light to medium gray paint finish.
