Landmarks commission approves roofs, fences and a shed; tables one roof application
Summary
At its June 22 meeting the Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission approved Certificate of Appropriateness applications for a roof (100 W Columbus), two fences (19 E Oak and 15 E Columbus), and a 12x12 rear shed (132 W Columbus). The commission tabled CA26018 and CA26019 to allow applicants to supply contractor specs and clarifications.
The Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission approved several routine certificate-of-appropriateness applications on June 22 and postponed two items that needed additional contractor detail.
What passed: Commissioners approved CA26020 (100 West Columbus) for replacement of roofing on the house and outbuilding with CertainTeed Landmark black dimensional shingles; CA26021 (19 East Oak Street) for a 4-foot cedar picket fence in the rear yard; CA26022 (15 East Columbus Street) for a front wrought-iron–style fence using recycled uprights and for installation of copper downspouts previously purchased by the owner; and CA26024 (132 West Columbus Street) for a new 12-by-12 rear shed constructed of T1-11 siding with cedar trim and recycled barn windows. Staff presented photos and plot plans for each item and applicants answered questions about materials, gates and finishes. Motions to approve were seconded and carried by roll-call votes.
Items tabled or moved: The commission tabled CA26018 (74 North High Street) at the applicant’s request so the applicant could finalize requested landmark commission documents. CA26019 (260 North High Street) — a roof replacement application — was discussed at length because commissioners and staff were unclear whether the contractor’s quote covered repair of rotten tongue-and-groove soffit material exposed under the eaves; the applicant’s contractor was on the phone but could not provide the detailed sizing or repair approach the commission requested. Commissioners asked the applicant to return with contractor specifications and an explanation of the repair scope.
Votes and procedure: Each approved item was passed by roll call. Staff confirmed that applicants should submit final samples or contractor specs where appropriate before work proceeds, and reminded applicants that any building or zoning permits remain a separate process.
