Petition HP-18-55. Ben Stone, Straight Line Construction, agent for Anna Wright. Certificate of Appropriateness to reroof an existing single-family dwelling with a metal roof. Located at 702 NW 2nd Avenue. This building is contributing to the University Heights Historic District - North.
Explanation
The original proposal from the applicant was to roof-over the existing asbestos diamond shaped composition shingle roof with a Gulfrib 26-guage metal panel roofing system from GulfCoast Supply.

The property is located at 702 NW 2nd Avenue. The contributing structure was built in 1927, according to the Alachua County Property Appraisers Office. The property is zoned Urban 6. The building is a contributing structure to the University Heights Historic District - North.
