Commission approves standing-seam roof for 212 North Market Street
Summary
Representing owner Eric Stamer, Kristy Crittenden asked the commission to permit a 24-gauge galvanized standing-seam metal roof at 212 N. Market; the commission cited roof guidelines and unanimously approved a traditionally detailed standing-seam roof and snow guards.
Kristy Crittenden, speaking for her neighbor Eric Stamer, told the Historic Preservation Commission the existing shingle roof at 212 North Market Street was deteriorated and that installing a 24-gauge prefinished standing-seam metal roof with new flashings and powder-coated snow guards would preserve the building while avoiding prohibitively expensive shingle replacement.
Commissioners referenced the commission’s roof guidelines, including elements J 8, 10 and 12, and discussed material details such as seam profile, absence of visible ridge vents or caps, and the use of step-flashed chimney transitions. One commissioner said the panel must be flat without corrugations and use a 1-inch folded seam that appears closed and locked. "Good roof maintenance is absolutely critical for the roof's preservation and for the preservation of the rest of the structure," a commissioner said while moving approval.
A motion to approve a traditionally detailed standing-seam metal roof and snow guards was made and seconded; the chair called the question and the motion passed unanimously. The commission wished the owner luck with the work.
