ACTION ITEMS:
DESIGN REVIEW
Applicant: Leroy Kedley, Sr.
Address: 209 Saint Mary's Street
Project: Replace asphalt roof with textured brown metal roof
District: Cathedral District
Staff Member Happ Olson presented the staff report noting that the request was for a
roofing material change from asphalt to ribbed sheet metal. She estimated the build
date to be 1872, as the property appears in the panorama from that year. Olson
explained that it's important to understand what's visible from the right-of-way, and in
this case the roof can be seen from farther away, but its importance diminishes with
distance. She noted that Determinations of Eligibility have found the structure to be non-
contributing. Olson pointed out the 1909 Sanborn map showed a wood roof, so the
current asphalt roof is not original. Olson reviewed the Architectural Guidelines and
found the proposed change met the guidelines, or in some cases, was not applicable

because the roof is not original. The only guideline marginally met was the guideline to
change materials to the non -historic material. In this case, the existing roof isn't original,
the house is not contributing, and the proposed materials followed the guideline
recommendations for color and texture.
Jill Kedley, 237 Southgate Drive, spoke on behalf of the applicant. She pointed out that
this roof butts up against the bluff so there's a lot of moisture and debris falling on the
roof, and the asphalt doesn't hold up as well, so metal would be more durable.
The commissioners discussed the application, noting that the project met the guidelines
and attempted to meet the material guideline with a brown color and matte finish. They
also pointed out the structure was found to be non-contributing.
Motion by Esser, seconded by Daykin Cassill, to approve the application as submitted.
Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Daykin Cassill, Dement, Esser, Gustafson,
McAndrews, Stuter and Doyle; Nay — none.
