Board approves pole-barn behind 38 N. Broad Street; owner may choose shed or gable roof
Summary
The board approved the application to construct a pole barn behind 38 North Broad Street, allowing the owner to choose a single-slope shed roof as submitted or a double-slope gable roof instead.
The York City Historical Architectural Review Board approved an application to construct a pole barn in the rear yard of 38 North Broad Street, agreeing that the small alley-facing structure is typical for the location and unlikely to be prominent in public views.
The applicant described a pole-barn structure that would extend approximately three feet into the existing rear yard to allow vehicle access and said the existing small play-shed would be removed. Board members observed that the property is an alley building and that the structure would be difficult to see from primary public vantage points; one member suggested the owner could choose a double-slope gable roof if desired for aesthetic reasons.
A motion approved the application as submitted, with an explicit option allowing the owner to substitute a double-slope gable roof in place of the single-slope shed roof shown on drawings. The owner later confirmed the final choice would be a single-slope roof and said the drawing discrepancy was a graphic error by their engineer. The motion carried and the board closed the matter.
