A Sept. 1 decision by the Peachtree City Council will give Westpark Walk its architectural shingle roof. The council reversed an earlier decision by the Planning Commission.
The council voted unanimously to reverse the Aug. 8 unfavorable decision by the Planning Commission to approve architectural-shingle roofing on the retail center at the intersection of Ga. highways 54 and 74 in the city’s commercial center.
Representing CORO Realty, attorney Rick Lindsey explained that replacing the leaking existing metal roof with one that would meet current codes would be price-prohibitive, adding that using architectural shingles as a replacement was within current ordinances.
The council agreed and voted to have the roof replaced using architectural shingles.
The motion to reverse the Planning Commission also came with CORO’s suggestion to work with the planning department to add accent points when replacing the roof.
