Roofs

1. Make the shape and pitch of roofs on new construction imitate the shape and pitch of roofs on neighboring existing houses or other houses of the same architectural style. Replacement roofs must copy the shape and pitch of original roofs, and the soffit, fascia and trim detail between roof and wall should mimic the original.

3. Repair or replace roof details ( chimneys, roof cresting, finials, attic vent windows, molding and other unique roof features). Use some of these details in designing new buildings.

4. Materials used in roofing existing buildings or new construction shall duplicate the original roofing materials as much as possible. Asphalt or fiberglass shingles can be appropriate, as are slate, standing seam metal, or metal or wood shingle roof coverings. The color of roofing materials should be a dark green, charcoal gray or black or dark reddish brown, to simulate the original roof colors.
