HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: The Commission reviewed this project on July 14th and asked the applicant to return with information on roofing costs.
Water is getting into the house from under the roof. Ms. Maher did look at the cost differential - asphalt costs $300 per square foot and slate costs $600-$800 per square foot. It would cost approximately $95,000 to install slate on this roof. She would still like to use asphalt shingles.
Approval subject to conditions set by staff for downspouts and gutters. | Pass | 6:0 |

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Ms. Hatal said that this is before the Commission as it is a change-out in materials. A number of the slates are missing or broken probably due to workers stepping them as work was done on the windows and installing a satellite dish.
Staff recommends approval due to the extensive damage done to the roof.
Judy Maher - owner - currently lives in Glendale and will be moving in as soon as the house is livable. The other houses on the blockall have asphalt roofs. The house needs extensive work, both exterior and interior. The owner wants to add a window to the application - either making it inoperable or glass block as, according to WE Energies, there cannot be an operable window that is less than 24" to power going into a house.
A glass block window probably wouldn't be approved, but a fixed, wooden window probably would be. She doesn't want to delay the roof work waiting for state tax credits because she can't start the work until the credit is approved.
Another possible alternative is slate roof in the front and asphalt on the rear, per Ms. Hatala.
Ms. Hatala will provide the applicant with a slate roof contractor so she can get an estimate of the work that needs to be done if slate were used.
The Commission would like to have the slate roof saved and would like a cost comparison provided for its next meeting.
The Commissioner encouraged the owner to apply for tax credits.
