Commission approves partial standing-seam roof at 2470 McDowell Street
Summary
The commission approved a request to replace roll roofing on the front low-slope section of 2470 McDowell Street with black standing-seam metal, finding the material appropriate under design guidelines.
The Augusta Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness to replace roll roofing on a low-slope front portion of the house at 2470 McDowell Street with black standing-seam metal. Staff noted the roll roofing is not original to the home and that standing-seam metal is an appropriate material for the district’s low-slope roofs.
Applicant Michael Farris, who identified himself as the homeowner at 2470 McDowell, told the commission he sought the metal roof because he was dissatisfied with previous asphalt work. Historic Augusta’s comments, as summarized in staff materials, supported the replacement. The property is in an R-1 single-family residential zone; staff recommended approval subject to any conditions the commission deemed appropriate.
A motion to approve passed with all seven commissioners voting in favor.
