d.
Certificate of Appropriateness 17-93 - New Roof - 1313 Delaware Avenue
Ms. Lewicka gave an overview of the application and answered questions from the Board. Ms. Lewicka explained the structure is locally designated historic and is not located in a historic district.
Mazola Barnes, Applicant, explained she only wants to replace the half of the roof that is leaking. She stated that a portion of the roof was replaced in 2004 after the hurricanes and she currently has a blue tarp on the roof. Ms. Barnes went on to say that she worked with several contractors for bids but none of them followed up with her. Ms. Barnes said she put down a deposit for asphalt shingles because it was much cheaper than what she was quoted for a 5V Crimp metal roof. She said the Home Depot contractor dropped off the shingles in her yard without her knowledge and her preference is a 5V Crimp metal roof.
The Board discussed the long term life of a 5V Crimp metal roof and how it would enhance the value of the property and give her long term piece of mind. The Board suggested Ms. Barnes seeks additional pricing with other roofing contractors, contacts the city for grant help and contacts her insurance company for metal roof insurance premium savings.
Ms. Lewicka stated the building department will not issue a permit for half of the roof if more than 25% of the roof is damaged.
