Mount Vernon board approves gutter and garage-roof change at 144 North Fulton Ave.
Summary
The Mount Vernon Historic Preservation Board approved a certificate of appropriateness for 144 North Fulton Ave. to replace 5-inch aluminum gutters with 6-inch gutters and to replace the garage's slate roof with architectural shingles to match the existing house roof.
The Mount Vernon Historic Preservation Board on July 23 approved a certificate of appropriateness for work at 144 North Fulton Avenue to replace existing 5-inch aluminum gutters with new 6-inch aluminum gutters and to replace the slate roof on the property's detached garage with architectural shingles matching the house.
The board’s approval, made by motion and recorded as adopted by voice vote, followed a presentation by a representative for the owner, Roderick Hines. The representative said the property’s garage roof “is slate… it is leaking,” and that the owner decided to match the garage roof to the already-redone shingle roof on the main house. The representative also said crews will install the larger gutters to handle greater rooftop runoff.
The board treated the application as a Type 2 action under its rules and discussed only the exterior materials and gutter sizing; no changes to massing, footprint or windows were proposed. The applicant representative noted the slate removed from the garage roof will be assessed for reuse or recycling where feasible.
A motion to approve the application as submitted passed by voice vote (ayes recorded). There were no conditions added to the approval.
The decision applies only to the exterior work described in the certificate of appropriateness; any additional work would require separate review or a modification to the approved application.
