RE: 204 Lake Avenue—Roof Replacement
Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation has reviewed the application to replace the
roof material at 204 Lake Avenue, a circa 1900 vernacular front-gable house located in
an Architectural Review District.
Board of Directors The applicant proposes to replace the historic standing seam metal roof of the house with
Adam N.Favor asphalt shingles and replace the other portions of the roof with standing metal seam. The
President review of this application should be based on the following portions of the Architectural
Review Ordinance:
James Gold
Vice President
Per the standards of the Architectural Review Ordinance:
Dmitriy Yermolayev
Treasurer
7.5.5 Treatment of Major Building Elements:
Linda Harvey-Opiteck 3. Roofs. Features that give a roof its essential historic and architectural
Secretary character shall be retained and rehabilitated whenever possible.
Caroline Cardone
Brennan Drake Roofs are a distinctive architectural feature of a building. The Foundation recommends
Sandra Fox
John Haller that the standing seam metal roof be replaced in-kind, not with asphalt shingle,to
Liz Israel maintain the original historic appearance in composition, design,color,texture, and other
Samantha Kermit visual qualities. The Foundation feels strongly that it is important for the building to
Douglas Ken
Richard King retain as much of its original character-defining features as possible. In addition, the
Stephen Kyne Foundation recommends all of the roofs be replaced with standing seam metal for a
Dorothy Rogers-Bullis
Cindy Spence consistent appearance.
Dmitriy Yermolayev
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
