Public Comment on a Non-Agenda Item
Chairman Swartz asked if anyone in the audience has a comment on a non-agenda
item. No one wished to comment.
Substantial Conformance Request: Coromandel townhome roofs, exterior material
change (Coromandel townhome buildings on Milford Road and Kelburn Road).
Mr. Michael Kim explained he is the Attorney for the Coromandel Townhome
Association, and also present tonight are Alan Polikoff, President, and Laurie Annabel,
Property Manager. Mr. Kim explained they are seeking approval from the Plan
Commission that the proposed asphalt shingle roofing material is in substantial
conformance to the final development plan for the planned unit development that was
approved in the 1990s. Mr. Kim provided a material sample of the asphalt shingles. Mr.
Kim noted their materials contain pictures showing the deteriorated townhome roofs and
said the roofs must be replaced. He said the request tonight before the Plan
Commission is a change in the roofing material only; nothing else about the roofs will
change and the roof pitch will remain the same.
Mr. Kim said the Association has polled the homeowners and the majority of them
approve of the use of asphalt shingles. He said the cost and the appearance of the
shingles have been taken into consideration. He said they have consulted a Reserves
Study Advisor who confirmed that the roofs need replacement, and an Architect who

Umbrella Association, which must approve changes to exterior appearances in the
development, also approved of the use of asphalt shingles. Mr. Kim said they reached
