DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: This project is a complete tear off of all roofing materials and the 3 tab asphalt shingles and re -roofing with architectural shingles. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: EDGEWATER B. ROOFS AND ROOFING Roof shapes in the district vary from hip and gable to gambrel. All are covered with asphalt shingles. Eaves in most cases, have wood facias with gutters and downspouts. Some aluminum sided houses have aluminum covered facias. Required The existing shape and materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features which give the roof its essential character, such as dormer windows, cornices, brackets and weather vanes, shall be retained. Recommended Whenever possible, the original shape and materials of the roof shall be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate, tile and other unique materials not commonly found in new construction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new material that matches as closely as possible the existing or original in composition, size, shape, color, and texture. Prohibited Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof by adding architectural features or roofing materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its character. Not Recommended If aluminum or vinyl siding is added to a building, overhanging eaves and gables should not be covered or enclosed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Office was called with a report from a neighbor that work was in progress without a COA or building permit. Staff immediately followed up on the report and the homeowner and contractor came in and applied for the COA that day. Work was not stopped on this project because of weather considerations. Staff recommends approval of the re -roof with architectural asphalt shingles since these shingles would mimic the original wood shingles which were still in place in the late 1940s as noted on the Assessor's Card.
