Historic Preservation Commission Minutes June 1, 2011 5 Members requested as a second condition of approval that the wood used for roof trim (fascia and soffit) replacement/repair be of an outdoor quality wood such as cedar or its weather resistant equivalent. Remini referenced the note in the staff report related to design standard III-B-2, “The HPC may wish to request more information and/or recommend that the applicant paint all of the roof trim rather than just the replaced sections—to ensure the long-term protection and a uniform appearance.” Remini expressed interest in requesting that all of the roof trim be painted as part of this application approval. Turner (Friends of Moorefields,applicant) expressed initial support of the suggestion. Dickinson said that he felt it went beyond the HPC’s purview to request additional work for a property with a limited budget, and one that was being repaired in phases—a phased project with a phased budget. Gilfillen said that while it made sense to prime and paint two coats on the repaired wood trim while the gutters were down, it was, in his opinion, the owner’s option. Turner indicated that the exterior of the main house at Moorefields is scheduled to be painted in the near future. Based on the information from Turner, HPC members decided not to require that all the roof trim be painted as part of this application.
