The pitch of a conventional house was discussed. It was discussed as to whether this pitch would discriminate against mobilehomes. The Mayor stated the Building Department had taken a survey of homes built within the last 3 years and found most of the units were built with a 4 in 12 roof pitch. It was suggested that the ordinance be changed and see what problems arise. The idea of affordability was brought up and there was discussion on this issue together with siding, foundation and overhang. Mr. Kicak, City Engineer, upon request did an illustration of a 3 in 12 and 4 in 12 roof pticK followed by further disr.ussion of the roof pitch. Councilman Baldwin brought in the Riverside County Ordinance in which he read portions to the Council and Commission with a suggestion that certain wording be used. After extensive discussion it was decided that the existing ordinance be amended to show 16" overhang on the long side, 4 and 12 for the roof pitch and a change of wording in "E" to read "materials & proposed plans". In addition it was decided that the processing of the Design Review Board be stream- lined and that an item "H" be added regarding 15 day appeals (this being taken from the Riverside County Ordinance).
