ific elements that Section points to. -Those are the elements to be preserved, and if not in the District, it does not apply. -Those buildings are listed in the National Register application so they are covered by the guidelines which state that asphalt shingles are not a compatible substitute. Mr. Scheidt stated that the natatorium was also mentioned in the application which covered the entire campus. It was more of a descriptor. In the application it includes features of buildings and mentions the clay tile roofs but it also mentions the natatorium. It appears that whoever wrote the Code wanted to emphasize the original construction. -The Guidelines also specify windows and clay tiles. The ordinance requires adherence to the standards and that, in the details, requires consideration of the roof. Based on the standards, one cannot simply go to the building and replace the roof or windows, etc. The School District should become familiar with the Standards. -It is important to be consistent. Jackson Park School underwent new construction with an addition under the same standards. Recommendations were made for that addition and consistency with other buildings. That Section and the existing buildings point the Commission as to what to consider. For these two buildings, the clay tile roofs are prominent features. It was discussed at previous HPC meetings that removing the clay tiles of these roofs could result in the potential to remove more clay tile. The the building is visible from the street as that could cause problems in future decisions. While flexibility is allowed, all decisions come back to the standards. The Chairperson asked if there were any comments from the public. There was no response with public comments. Ms. Marin made a motion to deny the request to replace the clay tile roofs with asphalt shingles. The motion was seconded by Mr. Myers. The motion carried by a vote of 4 to 1. Mr. Smith stated that the Zoning Code required a report to be submitted to the Zoning Administrator when the Historic Preservation Commission disapproved an application. He made a motion that the previous report submitted regarding the disapproval of the same request at the July 18, 2013 HPC meeting as well as the memo dated September 16, 2013 from staff be submitted to the Department of Community Development as the report from the HPC regarding 2.b. Request for extension of time in maintaining the mock roundabout until installation of permanent roundabout at intersection of Delmar Boulevard and Trinity Avenue in the University City Civic Complex Historic District. Previously approved by Historic Preservation Commission until October 1, 2013. tm; E
