explained that as the construction process moved forward, the sheet metal roofing was <br />changed to a shingle roof, which he learned later has performance and warranty issues; <br />therefore, he would like to go back to the originally approved material. He noted that his <br />house qualifies for 200 green points and that the roof component is very important. He <br />invited the Commissioners to visit the site and added that he would be happy to provide <br />them with the background of the project. <br />4. REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA <br />There were no revisions or omissions to the Agenda. <br />5. CONSENT CALENDAR <br />a. PCUP-280, Craig Ristow <br />(1) Determination on whether a bicycle motocross (BMX) ramp shall be <br />considered to be similar to and classified the same as a “skateboard <br />ramp” as listed in the Pleasanton Municipal Code; and (2) Application <br />for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a BMX ramp in the rear yard of <br />the residence located at 286 Kottinger Drive. Zoning for the property is <br />R-1-6,500 (Single-Family Residential) District. <br />b.
