2.10
Roof and Roofing Materials
- Acceptable materials include pre-finished
standing seam, pre-finished stamped metal and granular coated
metal, copper, slate concrete or clay tile and GEM shingles.
Wood shake or shingles may be permitted if coated with suitable
fire resistant finish. Other roofing products may be permitted
upon review by the developer.
- All flashing is to be pre-finished metal.
Pre-finished drip edge is required at the bottom of all roof
slopes. Flashing and venting should be similar to roof colour.
- Ridge venting is encouraged. Where
conventional venting is installed in the roof slope, it is
to be placed away from highly visual locations (i.e., street
side, in the case of corner lots on two elevations).
- Snow clips, where required, are to
match roof colour as closely as possible.
- Designers are reminded that Golden
receives considerable snowfall and roof design must consider
snow load and the direct shedding of snow to safe areas.
Roof water run off must also be considered and incorporated
into the lot drainage plan.
- Rooftop venting and chimneys shall
be finished with a chase to match the building style (does
not include attic ventilation, plumbing stacks, or bath fan
vents). Stone-finished chimney chases are preferred. Where
more than one chase exists, the finished elevations of the
chase caps shall be consistent.
- All flue venting requires a shroud
detail above the chase cap. Innovation is encouraged.
2.11 Fireplaces
Direct vent fireplace vents shall be placed
in obscure locations where possible, with sight lines blocked
by landscaping. In keeping with our “green” philosophy
and current and pending municipal bylaws, wood burning fireplaces,
stoves and other wood burning appliances are not permitted
at Canyon Ridge.
2.12 Fascia
- Fascia articulation is encouraged.
- Fascia should be a minimum height of
8”, with the exception of eaves with open trusses,
where architecturally, no fascia is required. Cottage roof
fascia must be a minimum 12” deep.
- Fascia material is restricted to rough
sawn cedar, Smart Start, Hardiplank, or similar manufactured
product. Use of combed cedar is discouraged.
- Fascia locations on gables or where
no eaves trough is required require a minimum of one step
in fascia material with 2/3 overlap on double build up.
2.13 Soffit
- Soffit colour is to be consistent with
or complimentary to fascia colour unless a clear finish,
stain grade wood is used.
- Wood finish is encouraged but pre-finished
aluminium is acceptable.
- Minimum roof overhang is 24”.
2.14 Eaves Trough and Rain Water Leaders
- Eaves trough should match fascia as
closely as possible.
- Eaves trough or fascia gutter should
be pre-finished metal (no vinyl permitted) with a minimum
dimension of 5”.
- Hidden gutters are encouraged.
- Rainwater leaders should be compatible
in colour to wall material.
- The use of chains for rainwater leaders
is permitted.
- Splash pads at the bottom of rainwater
leaders are encouraged and are to be sloped away from the
house.
