Dayus Roofing assessed that repair of the clay roof tile is possible (wholesale replacement not needed) and thus takes into consideration of the S&G. Approval will be subject to review of the additional technical information on the materials and techniques employed to confirm that the ultimate appearance and techniques would be a repair in kind to the existing roofing.

S&G Guideline 16 states that a compatible substitute material for roofing could be considered if the same kind of material is not economically feasible. Should the clay tile roof repair not be supported with heritage incentives from the City, the Owner has requested for the steel roofing alteration. Although the options proposed imitates tile roofing, there would still be obvious visible difference in the appearance of the roof (Tile roof type, profile, dimensions etc. would all be different). Therefore staff still recommends that the City provide support to the Owner necessary to retain the original red tile roof.

The eavestrough is another area of concern as the existing integral eavestrough system is a heritage feature of the property that is not common to modern construction. “Dentiled cornices” are mentioned in the designation bylaw and probably reference the decorative nature of the eaves, considered as a character defining element unique to the building. Alteration of this element by removing the decorative moulding and attaching new troughs is not generally recommended from a Heritage Conservation Perspective. The proposed replacement eavestrough system to the RainPRO system through the Dayus Roofing quote will deviate in appearance from the original. An example of how it may appear can be taken from image of the eavestrough of the detached garage, (which was changed to a new system in the 1990s), and a cross- section drawing below comparing the eavestrough systems.
