Staff approves roof replacements at two Elkhart historic properties, commission asks no questions
Summary
Staff read and affirmed Certificates of Appropriateness for roof replacements at 234/236 Division Street (25COA-09) and at 2 26 State Street (25COA-10), stating the proposed shingles meet the historic district guidelines; the commission raised no questions and took no further action.
Staff members presented two Certificates of Appropriateness for roof work on historic properties and said both met Elkhart Historic District guidelines.
Speaker 2, identified in the meeting transcript as a staff member, read the staff report for applicant 25COA-09 at 234/236 Division Street. Staff described the property as a contributing building in the local historic district, built about 1920, and said the project would remove existing three‑tab asphalt shingles on the south and west roof ends and replace them with StormMaster (architectural) asphalt shingles with ice‑and‑water shield. "All proposed work meets the historic district guidelines and is approved by staff," Speaker 2 said, noting Deb approved the staff decision on 10/29/2025.
Speaker 2 also read the staff report for applicant 25COA-10 for "2 26 State Street," describing a similar scope: removal of existing three‑tab shingles and replacement with IKO Dynasty Beacon and Summit Grama architectural shingles, use of a membrane in low‑slope roof areas, and installation of ice‑and‑water shield. Speaker 2 said the proposed materials are similar in profile and meet the historic district guidelines; the staff record shows Deb approved that staff decision on November 6.
After the two items were presented, Presiding Official asked whether commissioners had questions about either staff approval; no questions were raised and no commission-level action or vote was recorded on those items.
The two staff approvals remain on the record as staff decisions; the commission did not amend or reverse those approvals during the meeting.
