ITEM TITLE: Consideration of roofing material for the Windjammer
Condominiums /
Resolution //:2 Approving roofing materials for the
Windjammer Condominiums (lots 324 and 325 of Hidden Vista
Village) tt
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Director6(" (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
On April 10, 1984, the City Council considered the revised development plans
for the Windjammer Condominium project consisting of 100 units on lots 324 and
325 of the Hidden Vista Village subdivision. The City Council approved the
project (Resolution 11579) subject to the approval of the composition asphalt
roofing material by the Design Review Committee and the City Council .
RECOMMENDATION: That Council concur with Design Review Committee
recommendation.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Design Review Committee by unanimous
vote (with 2 members absent) took the following action:
1 . Recommended the approval of the roofing material consisting of composition
asphalt shingles or equivalent materials for the Windjammer project;
2. Endorsed the use of such roofing material in the vicinity of the project;
and,
3. Left the color selection of the roofing material to the developer unless
it is determined to be substantially different from the samples presented,
in which case the matter is to be brought to City Council for
determination.
DISCUSSION:
On May 3, 1984, the DRC considered Council 's referral regarding the proposed
use of asphalt shingles for the Windjammer Condominium project.
The Committee discussed the use of the shingle as well as alternative
materials; i .e. , clay tile, light-weight concrete, and wood shingles. The
Committee noted that the subdivision was located in a relatively high fire
potential area, with large areas of natural open space located nearby making
the use of wood shingles undesirable. The added cost relating to materials
and weight by using either tile or concrete shakes was balanced against the
use of the composition asphalt shingles.

Meeting Date 5/15784
The Committee concluded that based on the "Cape Cod" design and the relatively
low public visibility of the roofs based on distance from the I-805 freeway
and "H" Street, coupled with the pad elevations located well above "H" Street,
made the asphalt shingle a logical choice (see attached letter from
McMillin). The Committee was presented with material samples showing dark
grey and light grey shingles. The Committee urged the applicant to select the
lighter grey citing the advantage of a shadow line being created at the
shingle joint lines.

RE: TERRA NOVA WINDJAMMER CONDOS ROOF TYPE
Dear Mayor Cox:
The Windjammer condominiums are a contemporary New England designed
attached project proposed at Terra Nova. Consistent with the New England
theme, a high quality textured composition shingle roof is proposed to
complement the design and color schemes selected for the project.
The City Council's concern over the use of composition shingle roofs was
expressed at the Council meeting of March 14. In an effort to demonstrate
the widespread use of high quality composition shingle roofs in quality
neighborhoods throughout San Diego County, I have included in the
attachment the locations in La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Scripps Ranch,
Oceanside and Carlsbad where these type roofs have recently been built.
Additionally, within the City of Chula Vista, textured composition roofs
have been used. In an effort to give you an idea of a roof's appearance
in 5 - 10 years I would ask you to view the Bonita Hills Apartments on
Ridgeback Road, the recreation center building at the Otay Manor Mobile
Home Park on Otay Lakes Road, and the apartments at 319 Roosevelt Street
which won one of the 1983 Chamber of Commerce Beautification Awards. I
have left with the City Clerk a collection of photographs showing these
projects for your review.
Composition shingle roofs additionally havt low maintenance and
replacement costs. The budget guidelines for Department of Real Estate
public reports provides this information. The homeowner's costs required
to maintain and replace roofing will be more affordable for future
condominium homeowners.
McMillin/Terra Nova would request that your council approve the Windjammer
project as proposed with the New England contemporary architecture and
textured composition roofs. It is our feeling at McMillin that the

Windjammer project will be successful and will add significantly to the
Terra Nova planned community by providing a type of attached housing for a
different market not being met by the single family. If your Council in
its deliberations decides not to permit the composition roofs, then it is
respectfully requested that wood shake roofs be the permitted substitute
roofing material.
In conclusion, it is hoped that when your Council makes the decision on
this roof type that you consider the recommendations of your Planning
Department staff and your Planning Commission and the approval granted by
the Design Review Committee for a textured composition roof.
In developing this site the McMillin Companies plan to keep the same high
level of quality that has been demonstrated throughout the Terra Nova
project. It is our desire to use textured composition roofing material
which we feel will have wide market acceptance, provide lower maintenance
and replacement costs for homeowners, and provide an aesthetically
pleasing entry to Terra Nova and the areas east of Terra Nova.
Sincerely yours,
KEN BAUMGARTkER
Project Manager
