Mr. Butler agreed with the requirement for the Class A <br />protection rating in the hazard areas and supported the Class A <br />wood product roof for replacement. He did not agree with the <br />complete ban on new wood roofs. Council made a big improvement <br />when the ordinance was changed four to five years ago and felt that <br />Counicl could take another step by requiring that new wood roofs <br />should be required to be Class B rather than Class C. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer stated that it was prudent for Council to protect <br />the citizens'the best it could and for a nominal amount of money, <br />it could require Class B. He indicated that one can still re-shake <br />a roof, but just with a higher fire retardant material. He <br />supported the banning of wood products on new construction because <br />most of that construction is not built in downtown or near fire <br />stations. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr stated that this does not seem to be much different <br />than Title 20 which requires double glazed glass for better <br />insulation. She supported the staff recommendation. <br /> <br /> Chief Withers added that there are also environmental issues. <br />Shakes take trees from the forests and when they are dumped in <br />landfills, cedar does not deteriorate. Concrete and other <br />substitute materials can be recycled. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Mohr, and seconded by Mr. Tarver, that <br />Ordinance No. 1542 be introduced, to be read by title only and <br />waiving further reading thereof, amending Ordinance No. 1432 and <br />amending Section 20.08.045 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code, <br />requiring the use of fire retardant roof covering materials within <br />the City of Pleasanton. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Mohr, Scribner, Tarver, and Mayor Mercer <br />NOES: Councilmember Butler <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item ~ <br />GP-91-5, Southern Pacific Railroad Riqht-of-WaV Liqht Rail General <br />Plan Amendment.
