Atherton's large lot sizes and wooded setting make the <br />architectural features associated with SSMR hard to distinguish from other roofing <br />materials. Lastly, the historical presence of barns and farmhouses in the Emerald Hills <br />area, coupled with a generally wooded setting explain why homes with SSMR's are allowed <br />in the San Mateo County unincorporated hills located west of Redwood City. <br />
