Applicants to Replace Roofs at 27–29 Bridge Street; Board OKs Condition on Dormer Siding

Kristian Frikke-Schmitt and James Slizewski returned to the Historic & Architectural Review Board to present additional information for a roof replacement on their twin homes at 27–29 Bridge Street. They said they "propose using a GAF slate-line shingle in the color Antique Slate in place of an asphalt roof shingle." The applicants said deteriorating dormer siding may need replacement and offered Hardie plank if the original material cannot be saved.

Board members focused on preserving dormer character while allowing practical repairs. The board requested that any replacement Hardie plank have a reveal of at least 9 inches and be a smooth Hardie board; it then recommended approval of the application with those dormer-siding conditions (motion Chase/Magnuson). The approval was recorded as a recommendation conditioned on the specified reveal and material choices.
