REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 352 N.E. 98th STREET APPLICANT: RAUL & CARMENCA NOBILI Maintenance or Repair: Pressure Clean Handmade Clay Barrel Tile Roof • Historic Preservation Board Regular Meeting February 4, 2002 Page 2 Mr. Nobili presented his item. He explained that he had received a Notice from the Code Enforcement Department to pressure clean his roof. His roof is a hand -made Clay tile installation — probably AlhambraTM The Board was shown a sample of the tile on his roof — it was very delicate and clearly would break easily. Mr. Nobili detailed his experience growing up in Italy and his work as a young man in the roofing industry working with such tile (in its ancient form) in Italy. He testified that it was unheard of for anyone to pressure clean roof tile in Italy. Mr. Bittner cautioned the Board that it had the responsibility under the Village Code to apply the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and that Standard No. 7 directly applied. He read and showed the Standard to the Board. The Board listened intently to all of the evidence (which is reflected in the record and adopted herein by reference), and, after considerable discussion, determined that, contrary to the mandate of Standard No. 7, pressure cleaning may very well damage this tile. Furthermore, the Board found from an historic preservation perspective that pressure cleaning hand -made clay tile on historic architecture such as this property, for the sole purpose of removing mold and mosses, was unnecessary and indeed inappropriate since mold and moss on this property's hand -made clay tile roof give the roof an old weathered look and adds character to the overall historic structure. Accordingly, Ms. Blas moved to grant the Applicants' request, which was to deny the application, which motion was seconded by Ms. Collins, and passed unanimously. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMENTS 3.
