Ryman Construction submitted pictures and samples of the materials that are proposed to use as replacement for the old roof. Mr. Peeples was present to answer the Board's questions (Barbara Miller is his sister). Mr. Back stated the Board is in the position that if there is not enough supporting evidence in the pictures that that they can say one way or the other, the Board is stuck in the middle. Chairman Geiger explained to the guests that the Board is charged with seeing that changes made to the exterior of a contributing historic structure are consistent with the original intent and to try and help maintain architectural accuracy and significance of that structure. Mr. Back stated that if a house has a roof with 5-V metal, it should have a 5-V metal roof put back on it but if the evidence that supports thaYs the roof that was on there is destroyed then the Board cannot speculate. The Board does not know who the architect was and has no photos showing when it was built and there has to be some exceptions to be able to permit shingles to be installed. Mr. Peeples stated that he can verify that this house has had shingles for at least 66 years since he has lived in it since he was 8 years old. Mr. Back stated there is nothing he knows of to argue the point that it had shingles on it when it was built. Probably was either shingles or asphalt roofing because that is the era when it started becoming popular. Marian Riopelle moved to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness application for re- roofing this structure with the 30-year dimensional shingles. Motion seconded by Jason Aiken. Motion passed unanimously. 2.

Scott Blackman Roofing Company submitted pictures and samples of the materials that are proposed to use as replacement for the old roof. Mr. Mead was present to answer the Board's questions. Mr. Mead has lived in this home for 33 years and stated that his house was built in 1926 and to his knowledge it has always had shingles on it because he personally re-roofed it in 1987 and when he started working he found 3 layers of shingles — no one had removed any of the roofs (8 truckloads of shingles). Bill Back stated similar to the previous case the board has lack of supporting documentation to specify the exact roofing material that was on this structure originally so following the precedent that has been set he moved to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as submitted. Seconded by Tracy Sullivan. Motion passed unanimously. 3.
