Carried unanimously by voice vote and public hearing closed at 8:12 p.m. In response to request, Mr. Schroeter reviewed both of his reports, stating that the application is for an Architectural Permit and the permit was not denied because the proposed roofing material was made of metal.

He said Mr. Parsley is aware of the availability of such material, but prefers to use the cheaper type usually associated with older mobile homes and certain types of commercial buildings. Mr. Schroeter also reported that his office contacted the supplier whom Mr. Parsley proposed to use for his roofing material in order to learn the addresses where the material was installed on residences, and the only two addresses the supplier was able to provide are not residential.
