After-the-Fact COA for Major Alterations (synthetic barrel tile roof), 1401 SW 1st Street

Description

The owners of a 1947 minimal-traditional contributing home sought to swap an asphalt shingle roof for a synthetic barrel tile roof; staff said the style doesn't fit the architecture, and the board deferred to December for alternative synthetic options.

Impact summary

The decision keeps the historic streetscape standard in flux for a month — the applicants will return with alternatives, setting up a test case for synthetic roofing materials in the district.
