PUBLIC HEARINGS
a.
Certificate of Appropriateness 16-43 - Continuance - Roof - St. Andrews Episcopal Church Sanctuary - 210 South Indian River Drive
Ms. Lewicka stated the Certificate Of Appropriateness was previously presented to the Board on August 22, 2016 and it was postponed so the applicant could provide some additional information. Ms. Lewicka gave an overview of the application and answered questions from the Board.
Richard Stabile, a member of the Vestry for St. Andrews, provided additional information on the roof leakage. Mr. Guido Chibas, Jr., Vestry Warden for St. Andrews, clarified the roof replacement costs. Jack Nill, from JA Taylor roofing, answered questions from the Board on roofing material and cost.
Bob Burdge spoke in favor of the application and Michael McCloud spoke against the application.
Mr. Benton explained the criteria for determining a structure as contributing or non-contributing in a historic district.
Board discussion ensued.
Mr. Hayek explained that the metal roof has a consistency of color that does not blend in with the historical nature of downtown or the building. Mr. Hayek suggested a good architectural grade shingle with a variation of color would meet the needs of the church and have a better look in the downtown area.
Ms. Mosley answered questions from the Board regarding the St. Andrews contract not being enforceable, project documents being part of the record and the decision from this meeting applying to other St. Andrews Episcopal Church buildings. Ms. Mosley stated that each roof change would have to come before the Board and be approved on a case by case basis.
