CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL - WHITE - An appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a building permit to re-roof with standing seam metal on a house located at 6875 Pecan Avenue - APN: 227-254-02. Staff repod presented by Brad Buller, City Planner. Councilmember Dutton asked about replacement of roofs and what would be allowed. Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated the City's policy, especially where there is wood shake or shingle, they will allow the replacement of those roof types with similar roof types, but for all new construction, ~they do require tile. Councilmember Dutton asked when someone calls to City Hall asking questions about reroofs, are they given specific guidelines as to what is acceptable and not acceptable. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that is how it is supposed to happen, but felt in this situation that might have not occurred. Councilmember Curatalo asked if this particular home has been reroofed before. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated it is the City's understanding this is the third reroof job on this particular home. He stated they have checked the County records and there are no permits for any reroofs. Councilmember Biane asked what can the Council do to give staff the flexibility to handle some of these situations in other developments as the City matures. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated roof materials can be adopted for certain areas such as Etiwanda and the Tetra Vista Community. He stated the Council can be as specific as they want for a specific neighborhood. He stated this can be taken back to the Planning Commission for consideration. Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public input. Addressing the City Council were: Bill White, 6875 Pecan of Etiwanda, talked about living in his home for 40 years and the rock roof he first had on it. He stated they then went to a tile roof which was too heavy for his house so next they put on asphalt. He decided this time he would go with a metal roof and called the City. He was told the roof had to be a class C or better and meet wind specifications. He decided he wanted the metal roof and had also gone to see the Maloof roof and liked it. Rory Davis, Fanning Roofing, stated he did not know there was not a permit for this job until after the work had already started. He added that after he found out, he went to the City to try City Council Minutes October 4, 2000 Page 8 to obtain the permit. He stated he is a licensed contractor and always pulls permits for his reroof jobs. Councilmember Curatalo inquired if aesthetics are considered when a reroof job is done. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated yes. David Long, neighbor of Mr. White, stated the neighbors do support the metal roof. He felt the Council should allow Mr. White to put up his metal roof. John Lyons, Etiwanda, stated he suppods Mr. White and felt it was architecturally upgraded. He felt everyone in Etiwanda could live with this. Antonio Rodriguez, felt Mr. White should be able to put any roof on he wants to as long as he gets his permit. Tim Brown, Custom Built Metals, stated he would be happy to answer any questions about the roof that the Council might have. Kathryn Hastings stated she is a neighbor of Mr. White's. She stated the neighbors are in suppod of this and also signed a petition suppoding the roof. Jim Frost, who had worked on the development of the Etiwanda Specific Plan years ago, did not know of a logical reason why the White's can't continue with their roofing plans and did not feel the request should be denied. There being no further input, public comments were closed. Mayor Alexander stated he felt Brad Bullet was only doing his job, as he should, through the action he took. He stated this is a very unique part of the City. He stated if something is going to be done with the Etiwanda Specific Plan, things need to be tightened up a little bit. He stated he did not think it was a bad looking roof. He felt until the standards are changed, the roof should be allowed. He stated he respected Brad and the Planning Commission's work on this, but felt the appeal should be granted. Councilmember Curatalo stated at first he wanted to deny the appeal, but after hearing the testimony, he felt all of this should go back to the Planning Commission for further consideration. Councilmember Biane felt the City Planner made his decision based on what the guidelines are in the Etiwanda Specific Plan, but added he felt Mr. White should be allowed to have the metal roof considering the circumstances. He suggested what is on San Marino should be looked at because more of these types of things will be coming up. He felt the Council should support Mr. White. He suggested the Planning Commission be given more direction with guidelines for these types of roofs. Councilmember Willjams also felt San Marino's regulations should be looked at and felt possibly the City Council Subcommittee and Planning Commission Subcommittee should be considering regulations for reroofs. She added she appreciated everything Mr. White went through to get to this point, and felt possibly the counter clerks should be asking more questions so the correct information is given out. She suggested some kind of application form be developed to hopefully prevent this type of situation from happening in the future. She agreed with Councilmember Biane about this type of reroof going in a development like Terra Vista, but added she felt this particular neighborhood in Etiwanda was special. She stated she would support the appeal and supported Brad Buller's team working out some better details for reroofs. City Council Minutes October 4, 2000 Page 9 Councilmember Dutton stated he did not feel Mr. White did anything wrong intentionally. He did not feel Mr. White did this to save money. He added he would like to see better regulations considered for reroofs. He stated things should not be so difficult that people feel they have to do their work in secret. He felt Mr. White should be allowed to go forward with the reroof. MOTION: Moved by Dutton, seconded by Williams to grant the appeal and for the Planning Commission to work on retool regulations and codes. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Mr. White thanked Brad Buller, City Planner, and the City Council for their help. H. CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS H1.
