Ms. Lewicka gave an overview of the application and answered questions from the Board on modifications to the structure and original color of the existing shingles.
Wanda Gahn, applicant, stated they were hired by the owner, Dean Properties, to look at the roof and do some repairs. Ms. Gahn said the roof is beyond repair and they are requesting a 5V crimp metal roof due to the cost of the difference of the materials. She explained that there are other properties built in the 1920's that have been approved with a 5V crimp roof and the 5V crimp roof is comparable to other properties on the same block. Ms. Gahn did extensive research on the history of 5V crimp metal roofs and answered questions from the Board on the color of the roof and the current shingle.
The Board discussed the chimney being demolished and being covered with plywood.
Darryl Bey, Dean Properties, stated the chimney cannot be seen from the road and it is a non-functional fireplace. Mr. Bey said due to the age the chimney, they are concerned with strong winds from a hurricane blowing it over. Mr. Bey explained there was a front and back porch that has been enclosed since the property was first built.
