Appeal of Historic Preservation Commission Decision at 312 East Fourth Street HRA Director Grossman stated that Thomas Bates, 312 East 4th Street, has appealed the HPC's decision regarding proposed alterations to his property. There are three different issues to be acted upon as part of the appeal: · Mr. Bates applied to use Decra shingles and was denied, based on the finding that the steel shingles do not look like either wood or asphalt shingles. In his appeal, Mr. Bates mentions a second choice-a standing seam metal roof This option was not considered by theHPC. Therefore, he would need to make application to the HPC first on the metal roof · The HPC denied the proposal for three skylights on each side of the roof, based on the finding that the proposal was not consistent with the intent of the guidelines, which state, "skylights should not be installed on the front roof plane." As the peak of the roofis perpendicular to the street, there are no front or back roof planes. Additionally, the original proposal is for 21 inch by 38 inch skylights; should the size change, the applicant should make a new application to the HPC. · Chimney-there was no action by the HPC on the chimney; relocation was suggested by the HPC and the applicant now seems willing to do so. However, the owner must make application to that effect. Mr. Bates was present. He stated that the skylights would not be visible from the street, and that the roof materials proposed are very sturdy. Mr. Bates stated that he is trying to maximize the use of aI, 000 square foot house. HRA Director Grossman noted that, if the requests by Mr. Bates are different than what was submitted to the HPC, Mr. Bates should go back to the HPC with his proposals. Moved by Councilmember Riveness, seconded by Councilmember Alongi to reaffrrm the HPC's recommendation and refer Mr. Bates back to the HPC with any revised requests. 6 Ayes; Nays, none.
