Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gable, gambrel, flat, and combinations of these. Roofs are covered with a variety of materials such as asphalt, asbestos, wood and slate shingles as well as clay tiles. Residences in most cases have wood facias with gutters and downspouts. The facias of some vinyl or aluminum sided houses are covered with the same material. Required The existing shape and materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features which give the roof its essential character shall be retained, including dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting and weather vanes. 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 original in composition, size, shape, color and texture. Gutters and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure; they should be maintained whenever possible or replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectural period. Prohibited Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from the thoroughfare by adding architectural features or large unsightly fixtures, or by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its character. Not Recommended Overhanging eaves, soffits, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding metal or vinyl siding to a building.

The side gable roof has asphalt shingles. There is a small segmental entrance roof with moulded entablatures and Doric pilasters at the corners. The windows are 8 light casement windows grouped in fours on the first storey with soldier lintels. There are 3 unit casements in the second storey with a pair of three light casements over the entrance. There are fan lights in the gables. ALTERATIONS: The roof is not original to the house. The casement windows in the second storey are vinyl replacements. The sidelights at the entrance have been replaced by wood panels. The entrance is secured by plywood instead of a door. The fan lights in the gables were originally segmented. APPLICATION ITEMS: Build a garage, as to plan given; replace all windows with Anderson 400 Series Casement with Colonial Grid as shown in pictures; plus quarter round windows; replace roof with cedar tan cerenteed shingle house with architectural dimensional. Would like permission to side the house with vinyl siding like some of the houses on the rest of the block so the siding on the garage matches the siding on the house. I would like to add 3 steel doors 1) front door with two sidelights, 2.) back porch, 3. Basement door to basement. New gutters with downspouts -5 inch down spouts our gutter truck. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The owner is restoring the house to a single family_dwelling.(Sheets A-1 through A-5) The owner proposes to change the roofing to architectural asphalt shingles from interlocking asphalt shingles. The current metal casement windows are inoperable and not repairable and some have been replaced with single pane vinyl replacement windows without divided lights. They propose to change out all of the windows throughout the house and in the sunroom and replace them with Anderson 400 Series aluminum clad wood casement windows with the Colonial grid patterns replicating the originals. The fan lights in the gables will also be replaced. (Product information #1&#2). A wood frame, vinyl sided garage is proposed that will have roofing material which will match the house. (Sheets A-6 through A-9). They are also proposing to vinyl side the stucco second storey to match the siding of the garage. The missing and deteriorated doors will be replaced with steel door systems that will closely match the originals. Staff has not received product information on the doors from Tim Johnson. He will either bring it to the meeting or I will e-mail it to the Commission.
