Commission splits and rules on roofing and gutters at 959 Mount Pleasant; metal roof and porch gutters approved, main-home gutters and asphalt shingles denied
Summary
COA2600337 was split after work had already been completed: the commission approved replacement of the metal roof over bay windows and porch gutters (application A) and denied the main-home asphalt shingle and main gutter replacement (application B), citing historic guidelines and the removal of original stop gutters.
The Italian Village Commission split a completed roofing and guttering application at 959 Mount Pleasant and approved part A while denying part B after a lengthy discussion about historic features and precedent.
Homeowner Jackson Label told the commission the roof and gutters had been replaced by a contractor and that the work was already finished. Staff reported the main-home roofing used a dimensional asphalt shingle not on the approved shingle list and that original stop gutters had been removed and replaced with K-style gutters; staff recommended continuation to allow revision but commissioners discussed splitting the application to address work already completed.
Commissioners noted that the installed dimensional shingle and the removal of stop gutters conflict with Italian Village guidelines, and some commissioners referenced precedent in other districts where re-roofing required restoration to an approved product. Given the mixed status of completed work, the commission voted to split COA2600337 into two applications: A (metal roofing over bay windows and porch gutters) and B (main-home gutters and asphalt shingle roofing). The commission approved application A without conditions and then denied application B. The transcript records motions and votes as carried/denied; roll-call tallies by name are not recorded.
The commission advised the homeowner that appeal options exist and that future contractors should secure approvals before starting work to avoid similar conflicts. Application B’s denial reflects the commission’s stance that removal of historic stop gutters and use of non-approved shingles do not meet the Italian Village standards in this case.
