HDC approves standing‑seam roof at 23 North Hanson, requires 1‑inch ribs

The Historic District Commission approved a full standing‑seam roof replacement at 23 North Hanson with a condition that the rib height be 1 inch to match the sample presented.

An agent representing Marisun and property owner Jenny Van West told the commission they sought a standing‑seam replacement and discussed panel profile, seam spacing and rib-height options. The agent said the manufacturer could move between 1 and 1.5‑inch ribs but the chosen sample had a textured panel to better match a historic look. Commissioners preferred matching the existing profile when feasible but acknowledged availability could be a constraint.

"I move we approve the application, with the caveat that the rib height is 1 inch," a commissioner said during the motion to approve; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor. The approval includes the rib‑height condition despite some samples showing 1.5‑inch ribs.
