Exterior fireplaces and chimneys contribute <br />greatly towards the mass and visual permanence of a <br />structure. The architect or designer must veneer all <br />fireplaces with masonry or stucco. <br /> <br />Chimneys should be properly detailed in correct <br />proportion to the mass of the home. Chimneys should <br />be designed with appropriate breaks for character. Flue <br />pipes are required to be encased with a chimney <br />enclosure of masonry or stucco and be supported by a <br />foundation at grade. A decorative flue termination is <br />required at all chimneys. Gas vent terminations are to <br />be shown on exterior drawings. The use of chimneys to <br />gang and disguise prominent vents is encouraged. <br /> <br />Refer to City of Pleasanton ordinances regarding use of <br />wood burning fireplaces. <br /> <br /> <br />~19 ROOF <br /> <br />The roof is primary in providing clarity to <br />the overall building form. The roof form <br />should express a clear hierarchy appropriate <br />to the style. The roof is one of the most <br />significant elements of the building and <br />should be simply shaped and uncomplicated. <br />Roof forms should be well organized and <br />demonstrate the same character on all sides <br />of the residence. <br /> <br />The pitch of the roof shall be consistent with the style of the dwelling. No pitches <br />flatter than 5/12 will be allowed, except at limited porch roof areas or secondary <br />elements. Roofing material shall be fireproof Class "[3" or better. A sample of roofing <br />material must be submitted to the Subdivision Architect for approval. All metal valleys, <br />flashings, vents and skylight curbs shall be painted to match roofing material. <br />Plumbing vents are to be combined wherever possible to reduce the number of roof <br />penetrations as the plumbing/mechanical code allows. Plumbing and attic vents shall <br />be placed behind street-facing ridge lines unless prohibited by code. <br /> <br />Roof material shall be appropriate to the <br />style of the residence. Use of authentic <br />materials such as clay tile, are encouraged, <br />Acceptable roofing materials are: slate, clay <br />tile, concrete tile, wood, or factory painted <br />standing seam steel. Architectural grade <br />composition (40 year high definition <br />without abstract shingle patterns) is <br />acceptable, but not encouraged. Colors <br /> <br /> <br />'0 <br />
