RE: Arapahoe Farm Townhomes P.U.D. - Roofing Material
Dear Mr. Ward:
As you are aware, at the May 10, 1994 consideration of the Appeal
of Arapahoe Farm Townhomes Final P.U.D. , the City Council modified
the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board to specifically
address the roofing material. The Council stated:
"The shingles to be installed on the Project must be
determined to be compatible with the surrounding
neighborhoods, with such determination of compatibility to be
made by Mike Pretz, Poudre Fire Authority Battalion Chief; Ron
Phillips, Interim Director of Planning, and Felix Lee,
Administrator of Building Permits and Inspections, provided,
however, that it is not necessary that the developer be
required to install wood shake shingles in order for the
shingle material to be compatible."
The aforementioned individuals have met twice as an ad-hoc roofing
committee. A "Report to the Committee", dated July 6, 1994, is
available for your records.
On July 7, 1994, at the second meeting of the ad-hoc roofing
committee, the committee selected two specific roofing products,
including a specific option, that the developer may use. on Arapahoe
Farm Townhomes. The developer may select either of these two
products. These two roofing products are as follows:
1. Celotex Presidential Shake
2. Prestique Plus High Definition
These materials are high profile, asphalt/fiberglass shingles with
a fire rating of "A, " with a minimum of 350 lbs. per square, and a
40 year warranty.

The committee further specified that this roof be installed with an
option known as the "heavy ridge line" or "heavy ridge cap" or "Z
Ridge". The purpose of specifying this option is to enhance the
quality of the roof and promote compatibility with the surrounding
area.
These materials are further detailed in brochures available at the
Planning Department. The sources of these brochures are
Brookhart's Wholesale Roofing and B & M Roofing, both located in
Fort Collins.
Please make the necessary notation regarding the roofing material,
and upgraded heavy ridge option, on the archtitectural sheet of the.
Final P.U.D. mylars.
If you have any questions regarding this action in fulfillment of
City Council's modification of the Planning and Zoning Board
decision on Arapahoe Farm Townhomes, Final P.U.D. , please do not
hesitate to call our office.
