Summary

Representatives for the property described a deteriorated modified‑bitumen roof and proposed a recover; they asked whether HVAC units must be temporarily moved and whether permits are required; staff advised coordination and temporary staging of line sets and units.

Representatives for a property under review described an aging modified‑bitumen roof with blisters, cracking and soft spots and proposed a recover rather than full replacement.

Laura Stearns, identified in the meeting as general manager, and Matt Hanner of FA Center Company presented inspection photos and noted open coping seams and multiple soft spots. "It's in poor shape at the current condition," a presenter said while describing blistering and cracking in the membrane.

They asked whether an HVAC permit would be needed because rooftop units and associated line sets might have to be temporarily moved for access; planning staff advised that temporary staging and coordination would be necessary and that the units would be returned to their original locations on new metal stands. Staff also noted color‑matching and existing roof access challenges when discussing flashing and pitch pockets.

No formal action or vote on the roof recover was recorded; the item proceeded as an informational application with instruction to coordinate permits and staging with planning staff.
