STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of a silver or gray metal
roof.
Brenda Batiste, the property owner, is requesting a certificate of
appropriateness to allow the replacement of the existing roof with a
green metal roof on the house at 1561 Park. The house currently
has a green composition roof.
The house was granted an HC-L Designation in 1990. The property
is listed in the 1990 SPARE Beaumont survey. SPARE states that
the house was built c. 1898 and is of the Vernacular Victorian style.
Section 30.21.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that roof materials
and colors must complement the style and overall color scheme of the
building. Roof patterns of the main building must be typical of the
style and period of the architecture of the building. When this house
was built, metal roofs were typical of the style and period of this
house. However, the Planning Manager doubts that painted green
metal roofs were available.
An exhibit is attached.
