Guidelines
Roof Specifications Roofs shall have a minimum pitch of 3:12 and maximum pitch of 5:12 unless otherwise specifically approved to maintain compatibility the style of the Homes.
Materials Permitted • Flat or “S” color impregnated concrete tile • Barrel clay tile • Slate • Metal roofs as accents and as approved by the ACB (minimal use is recommended)
Materials Not Permitted • Asphalt shingles • Aluminum shingles • Wood shingles or shakes • Roll roofing • Standing seam prefinished metal (Metal roofs may be used as accents and only as approved by the ACB. Minimal use is recommended) • Insulated Aluminum Patio Roofs
Roof Material Exceptions the ACB may, in its sole discretion approve or disapprove the use of such materials that may be developed at a future time. Flat roofs shall generally NOT be permitted unless they enhance the design of the structure, are small, or will not be visible from another Lot
Roof Vents All roof mounted vents and stacks shall be painted to match the color of the roof. Care should be taken in order that the paint vendor does not use paint left over from the trim to detail the roof vents and stacks which will result in a bold contrast between the roof tile and the roof vents and stacks. Wherever possible, all stacks and vents should be located toward the rear of the Home, away from street views.
The ACB would like to see a contrast between the siding color and roof shingle. For approved roofing materials list, please refer to Appendix D: Approved Roofing Shingles.
ACB Procedures for replacing your roof
The planning stages
Prior to beginning any exterior improvements, you will need to consider if you, the homeowner, or a contractor will be doing the work.
Although most jobs will be encouraged to be done by a contractor, the homeowner is allowed do the work themselves. If the homeowner is taking on the task, the homeowner is responsible for any and all insurance matters if someone is injured in the job.
In the planning stage, the homeowner should work with their GC to determine the scope of the job. A design specification should outline the job, including type, material and color of the roof tile
If the homeowner determines they will use a GC (General Contractor), the contractor is required to provide both their contractor’s license and the contractor’s proof of insurance.
Requesting ACB approval to start project
With the planning stage completed, the homeowner can now submit the completed ACB request form along with the contractor’s license and insurance and design specifications to the ACB committee for review. We ask for duplication of all documents.
The ACB will then review all plans to ensure all paperwork is included.
After the ACB has approved your plans, you may proceed with the improvement.
One set of signed documents will be returned to you for your records while the other set of plans will be recorded by the ACB for reference.
Once the project is approved to move forward, the homeowner can provide a copy of the signed ACB request form to their GC. Th GC in return will need to file a permit with the County of Palm Beach.
Approval of proposed plans does not waive the necessity of obtaining any required city or county permits, obtaining a city permit does not waive the need for ACB approval.
Completion of project
Once the job is completed, the homeowner needs to submit a signed filled out completion form and a copy of the permits to the ACB. These results will then to filed in the small club house for reference.
