Mr. Griffiths stated metal roof panels and metal shingles will be allowed. Corrugated, plain, galvanized, and unpainted roofing materials are prohibited. Commissioner Shafto asked if there should be discussion on what types of metals are allowed. Mr. Griffiths stated Anoka doesn't allow most types of metal, but they do allow copper. He explained City staff decided the building code had enough support that any metal roofing material will meet minimum building code requirements. Commissioner Koehler asked for clarification regarding the phrase "resembling shingles or tiles". Mr. Griffiths stated current code states roofs "shall be covered with shingles or tiles". Commissioner Koehler stated there are sheet metal roofing materials that have stamped shingles on them and they would not be allowed in current code. Mr. Griffiths stated the City has allowed stamped sheet metal roofing because it resembles shingles. Commissioner Volkenant stated metal roofs come in a variety of colors. He asked if there were restrictions on colors in other cities' code. Mr. Griffiths explained other cities either have a blanket ban or blanket allow. He noted that building officials will review roofing projects and can guide the home owner away from unsightly colors. © Commissioner Koehler asked about someone wanting to paint their house and if the City has architectural review over color.
