Mr. Aiello reviewed the Staff reports and the Planning Commission Resolution No. 1097, which approved Phase No. 2 of Tract No. 3232, with some 18 conditions, one of which required wooden roofs on the dwelling units. Mr. Jim Belda, representing Singer Housing Company, asked the City Council to consider changing the requirement of wood roofs to comp- osition roofs. He explained that in order to keep the cost of the units within the reach of the moderate and low~income families and also in order for some of these units to be available for govern- ment subsidy financing, the cost of installing wood roofs might prohibit these prospective buyers from being able to purchase these units. Mr. Jim Wise, Housing Authority Commissioner, stated that the Housing Authority has .endorsed the government subsidized program of Singer Housing Company in Tract No. 3232. Mr. Ted Lannin asked why composition roofs were being considered in -this~ second phase~ of~ development when wood shingled roofs were used in the first phase.
