Repair/replace damaged gutter. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: EAST WAYNE STREET II. EXISTING STRUCTURES B. ROOFS AND ROOFING 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 should 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 t he structure; they should be maintained whenever possible replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectu ral period of the building. Prohibited Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from the thoroughfare by adding architectural features are 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.

I’m working with 311 to get to the bottom of that. Any project changing the exterior of the structure would require you to fill out and submit a Certificate of Appropriateness application. Received applications are divided into two categories: 1. “minor” projects ‐ those that conform to the applicable Standards & Guidelines. These are projects that myself and my colleague Elicia Feasel are able to process as “administrative approvals”. Examples include installing fences, roof replacement, or replacing damaged, lost, or deteriorated siding with the same material (wood for wood, for example). Approval for a ‘minor’ project like this occurs in less than two business days of receipt of an application (and more often than not, within minutes of receipt). 2. “major” projects, often they are those that do not conform to the applicable Standards & Guidelines. These are projects that the Historic Preservation Commission reviews at their monthly meeting. Examples include demolition, new construction (new infill), major alterations or additions to existing structures, replacing existing materials with a new, different material. Although HPC Staff are available for in‐person consultations and phone calls, we prefer to conduct as much business electronically as possible. The application above is an enterable PDF that can be sent back to me via e‐mail with whatever supporting documentation you may have. Page three is a checklist that may assist you in ensuring your 4 application is complete – I always encourage people to error on the side of too much information. Once you’ve submitted your application, you can call Business Licensing Administrator Michelle Adams and pay the $20.00 application fee at (574)235‐5912 over the phone. The deadline for inclusion on the monthly meeting’s agenda is the first Monday of the month. Meetings are held on the third Monday of the month. Once we’ve received the application and the application fee, staff will review your project and process/prepare it for the Commission as needed. I’ve CC’d Administrator Elicia Feasel on this exchange.
