Historic zoning commission approves after‑the‑fact roof replacement at 708 Belmont Street
Summary
The Shelbyville Historic Zoning Commission approved an after‑the‑fact Certificate of Appropriateness for an emergency, in‑kind roof replacement at 708 Belmont Street, allowing composite (Timberline, charcoal) shingles to remain; the house was identified as c.1950 and within the Belmont Historic District.
Speaker 4 presented an after‑the‑fact Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for 708 Belmont Street and recommended the commission approve an emergency, in‑kind roof replacement.
The recommendation was approved by the commissioners present. Speaker 4 described the work as replacement with composite (asphalt) roofing — specifically Timberline in a charcoal color — and said there were no changes to the original roof pitch or structure. The property was identified as parcel '7 R 3' owned by Joseph Lamontina; Speaker 4 said the house was constructed about 1950 and lies in the Belmont Historic District.
According to Speaker 4, the commission’s design guidelines permit composite roofing for repairs and like‑for‑like replacements; on that basis the staff recommendation was approval. The chair asked for a motion to approve the application and the commission voted in favor; those present voiced assent.
The action allows the existing roof material to remain in place and records the commission’s formal approval of the COA. No amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The commission moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
