Paul Baranowski: We'll have one step down on the inside and the Building Department requires at least 50% of the room be 7 feet or above in height and we'll be able to get that with one step down. Joann Sporleder: And the other suggestion I guess I would have relative to the deck is that if I understand the placement of this if a hedge or evergreen were planted on the street -side of the deck then it would no longer be visible from the street and that might solve the problem of how to shield it from the street by a hedge of arbor vitae, if that an acceptable thing from the homeowner or the Commission. Martha Choitz moved to approve part of Certificate of Appropriateness 2006 - 0224 -01, the rear addition as stated, and to have the Standards & Maintenance Committee meet with the contractor on- site to work out any final details regarding the deck. Jerry Ujdak seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 3. 2006 - 0307 -02: 508 West Washington Catherine Hostetler read the staff report and passed around the sample of the ECOSTAR composite slate material. The Chair recognized the presenter, Gary Van Overberghe: Sue and Barry Kessler are requesting to replace the mansard roof with this ECOSTAR type slate shingle. I have photos showing the deterioration of the existing shingle and they would like to replace them with same texture, color and style as the existing. We will save try to remove and save the slate to our best effort and save them to be used elsewhere if needed. All of the flashing will be copper. The chimneys that we'd like to remove are at the rear of the building. They have deteriorated and have no use and they have caused some water problems. They are placed in somewhat precarious areas that will prevent us from finishing the roof properly if we can't remove them. The two primary chimneys on the west elevation will stay and we plan to photograph the roof so we can replace it as is. Sue Kessler isn't available to be here, but she had brought to my attention at the end of last week that the color scheme in the house is exactly the color scheme on the roof and via the sample ECOSTAR has given us, I believe we have a proper match, but she did throw in a request. She would like to change the red line across the top of the mansard to a green line and keep the pattern in the reddish color and add an additional green line below the patterns. The shingles on the hipped roof on the back, they would like to carry these colors over also. The Chair recognized Joann Sporleder: When you take the chimneys down, some of the chimneys actually go into that mansard roof. Are you going through the mansard roof or to the mansard roof? Gary Van Overberghe: Through the mansard roof. We will in -fill that structure area. Joann Sporleder: Have you been able to determine what is causing the moisture damage in the soffit? Gary Van Overberghe: There is tin flashing on this structure, which has deteriorated to almost nothing. There is also a tin gutter system around the roof, which we are replacing, that has caused that deterioration. There are actually areas on the roof where there is no slate; it has been patched with pie pans and tar. Joann Sporleder: Is there a potential problem using the tin and the cooper? Gary Van Overberghe: Wherever those two [metals] will be in contact there will be a barrier. March 20, 2006 HPC Minutes_Monthly .doc [Preliminary] Page 2
