HARB approves Galvalume 5‑V crimp metal roof for 19 Seville Street with non-striated panel
Summary
The board approved replacement of the asphalt shingle roof at 19 Seville Street with a non-striated 5‑V crimp Galvalume metal roof, conditioned on selection of non-striated panels to be compatible with the Colonial Revival building’s character.
The Historic Architectural Review Board unanimously approved June 18 a request to replace the existing asphalt shingle roof at 19 Seville Street (a Colonial Revival contributing building) with a 5‑V crimp Galvalume metal roof.
Staff had advised that typical Colonial Revival houses in St. Augustine are roofed with composition shingles, diamond shingles or metal panels. Because this structure is a Colonial Revival property, HARB members concluded that a non‑striated 5‑V crimp metal panel in a subtle finish would be an appropriate contemporary treatment if the panel profile is non‑striated and the color and finish are selected to minimize visual impact.
Conditions: HARB specified that a non‑striated profile and finish be used and that the applicant coordinate final details with staff before installation. The motion passed by roll call.
What the decision means: The board found the proposed metal panel acceptable on this Colonial Revival property only if the non‑striated profile and finish were used to avoid a visual character that would be inconsistent with the building’s design and the surrounding district. The applicant will file final product samples with staff for administrative sign-off before ordering and installation.
