DATE: February 12, 2001
TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness to raise the slope of the
roof on the carriage house to the veranda height
FILE: CA-542
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request. However, the property owners
may wish to modify the slope so that it is not as steep as the existing roofs, but still
sloped.
The applicant wishes to eliminate the slope on the shed roof at each end of the existing
carriage house. The applicant feels that raising the the sloping roofs to veranda height will
better complement the main structure with its veranda syle porch roof.
The Zoning Ordinance states that flat roof designs are not permitted on main or accessory
buildings or structures, except that a covered porch or porte cocheres may have a flat roof
that is typical of the style and period of the main building.
