Town to review roofing permit rules after resident replaces roof with steel
Summary
At the Dec. 10 Beaverdam board meeting, a resident said he replaced an asphalt roof with steel without a permit; town staff and the town attorney said the material change triggered the permit requirement and recommended the board review Chapter 10 ordinance wording.
David Bradley told the Town of Beaverdam board on Dec. 10 that hail-damaged shingles on his house were replaced with a steel roof and that he did not obtain a permit for the work. Bradley said he believed he was the only homeowner in the neighborhood required to obtain a permit for the replacement.
Land Use Administrator Dan Prunuske told the board the requirement arose because Bradley changed roofing material from asphalt to steel, which the administration interprets as triggering a permitting requirement under the town's Chapter 10 rules. The town attorney advised the board it would be beneficial to review the ordinance language and consider clarifying the standards and enforcement procedures for roofing and siding permits.
Board members did not take a formal vote on changes to Chapter 10 at the meeting. The town attorney’s recommendation frames the next step as a review of ordinance wording; the board will consider that review and any proposed revisions at a future meeting.
