REGARDING: 628 Trenton Way - FYI application - Roofing Materiat Change MESSAGE: Commission Members, The approved single family residence at 628 Trenton Way is currentty under construction. We would like to present some alternative roof materials for your approval prior to instaltation. The original application called for a single-ply membrane roof at the flat roof on the first ftoor and a standing seam metal roof with metal fascia on the second floor butterfty roof. In viewing the constructed second floor roof from the street, we have come to the conclusion that the roofing materiat will not be clearly visibte, therefore not impacting the overall aesthetic of the building. See attached images. This being the case, we have explored the use of a modified bitumen roofing material with a smooth painted wood fascia on both levels to match the color of the windows and trim throughout the building. This is a durable assembly, under warranty. It presents a significant cost savings, allowing us to maintain the use of the proposed high quatity materials in more visible tocations. The owners are committed to the approved design aesthetic and we plan to work closely with the subcontractors to ensure an impeccable installation. Please let us know if you have questions or need more information at this time. You can contact me directly via email, abbyC�chxtld.com, or by phone 510.879.7991. Thanks for your support on our project.
