the original composition, size, shape, color, and <br />texture. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Aluminum siding is a non —historic and inappropriate material <br />which violates the standards for the historic district. <br />Introduction of this material on a wide scale level would <br />undermine the historic intergrity of the area. However, the <br />proposed material does closely match the dimension of the <br />exposure of the clapboard and the owner does intend to leave <br />the wood trim and brackets uncovered. <br />Slate, as an original roofing material, can last from 50 to <br />100 years, depending upon the quality. This house is <br />approximately 60 years old. Synthetic/replacement materials <br />do exist and it is possible that localized replacement would <br />be more appropriate than having the expense of entirely <br />reroofing the house. This approach was recently taken for <br />the house at 1417 E. Wayne, where localized replacement of <br />the roofing_ material (asbestos fiber shingles) was done <br />instead of total reroofing. <br />The new material does not replicate the slate material in <br />color. Since the reroofing is partially complete, the <br />interior is subject to damage. Due to this situation the <br />staff suggests a compromise that the owner is granted a <br />Variance to the standards to allow the reroofing to continue <br />and not allow the aluminum siding. <br />
