Summary

Owner Scott Butler received board recommendation to replace porch roof shingles with a matte black standing‑seam metal roof at 54–56 S. Franklin Street; boardmember Ralph Fey recommended considering gray or charcoal‑gray, which the board noted would also be acceptable (Guerriero/Weiner).

Property owner Scott Butler presented an application to replace the front porch roof shingles at 54 and 56 S. Franklin Street with a matte black standing‑seam metal roof. The board recommended approval as submitted but discussed color options; board member Ralph Fey suggested gray or charcoal‑gray because black roofs may not patina as well, and Butler said he would consult with his wife about alternatives (motion Guerriero; second Weiner).

The board recorded the alternative color guidance as acceptable rather than imposing a required change; the minutes indicate the application was recommended for a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented.
