Mr. Boyd's financial hardship was considered multiple times during the June 19, 2017 public hearing. Mr. Boyd told Commissioner Gordon that the main purpose of changing the style of the roof to the new style was economics. See Exhibit"I"at 2:19:16. Commissioner Gordon confirmed that the economic reasons in question were that Mr. Boyd could get material donated or cheaply and do the construction himself, which would be unlikely if the new roof were flat. See Exhibit"I" at 2:19:50. Commissioners Buccellato, Klusczinski, and Gordon suggested that the materials which had already been expended into the current roof system be repurposed, in order to save Mr. Boyd the expense of purchasing all new materials to change the roof to something more appropriate. Exhibit"I"at 2:29:03. Mr. Boyd brought up the hardship issue himself, later in the public hearing, which resulted in extensive discussion. Exhibit"I" at 2:29:03. Commissioner Klusczinski explained his view of the hardship consideration. In the hearing minutes, a public comment from Mr. Mike Boyd asked, "Could this application be withdrawn and come back with application with different options for roof—different dimensions and/or style?" Elicia Feasel,the Executive Director of the HPC, replied by reminding the HPC and all listeners present that when denying COA 2016-0809 for the same roof project, four of the Commissioners specifically requested Mr. Boyd obtain additional quotes and estimates for different design options. Mr. Boyd failed to present any quotes for keeping an in-kind flat roof. According to Mr. Boyd, the reason he did not bring any new quotes for a new roof was, "there's no funding for the roof." Exhibit"I"at 2:33:09. Commissioner Gordon specifically advised Mr. Boyd that the Commission"understand the cost of a new flat rubber roof,that's why we're giving you the option to bring us some kind of a design that's less obtrusive than this one here, that is more hidden, because that won't probably be the expense of a new flat rubber material 13
