REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO PAINT EXISTING RED ROOF WHITE - Daniel Demirgian - 9101 NE 2 Avenue Mr. Lubien reported the homeowner had begun to paint a terra cotta colored roof with a white sealant in order to prevent further leaking without first obtaining a permit. He was before the Board because he would need a variance to change the color of the roof. Mr.Caldwell stated the reason a variance could not be granted to paint the roof white was because of the possibility that the white color would eventually chip and peel and expose patches of the original terra cotta color. Mr. .Demirgian advised the white paint • was a sealant only and he would, if necessary, apply a reddish color paint over the sealant to match the terra cotta color. Mr. Lubien stated this would not be acceptable. Mr. Demigrian said there was a financial factor involved here because he did not have the $15,000-$25,000 it would cost to put on a new roof, and applying the white sealant with a reddish colored paint over it would cost only $3,000. He cited cases where other homeowners had painted their roofs and were not in violation. Mr. Demirgian also said because of new roofing techniques now available, contractors would sometimes give a 30 year Planning and Zoning Board Regular Meeting January 23, 1997 Page 2 guarantee against chipping and peeling if a roof was painted with a sealant. Chairman Walters suggested Mr. Dermigian ask the manufacturer of the sealant to color the paint with a reddish pigment and then seal the roof. Mr. Lubien said this would be acceptable and no variance would be needed if the color chosen matched the present color of the roof. He advised the white sealant already applied to the roof must be removed and could be sandblasted off. Mr. Caldwell moved to deny the variance to paint the present roof white. Mr. Forney seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously. 3. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR FRONT YARD FENCE - Arthur IL Rice - 1680 NE 104 Street Mr. Lubien reported the original plans were for a 5 foot fence. He said he had altered the plans to provide for a 3 1/2 foot masonry and ornamental metal fence which would be acceptable. Mr. Rice said he would like to have 3 1/2 foot solid masonry fence with columns as depicted in the plans. Mr. Lubien said this would be acceptable. Mr. Hegedus moved to approve the application. Mr. Forney seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously. 4. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR FRONT YARD FENCE - John Rice - 261 NE 102 Street Mr. Lubien advised the application was for a 3 Y2 foot ornamental metal front yard fence, and the plans submitted were acceptable.

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR ENCLOSED STAIRWAY ADDITION - Nationsbank - 9475 NE 2 Avenue Mr. Lubien stated the application was before the Board because there would be a change to the exterior elevation of the building due to construction being done to the interior of the building.

Mr. Caldwell moved to approve the application. Mr. Hegedus seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously. Planning and Zoning Board Regular Meeting January 23, 1997 Page 3 6.
