fits in with the community . <br /> They don ' t envision: a "totally" sloped roof for this project. <br /> Dr . DeMoura said the pitch is so little that it is basically a <br /> flat roof . He knows money is a problem but he sees maintenance as <br /> a nightmare . Most of the building is flat roofs. <br /> Paul said there is a consensus that the sections that are pitched <br /> are acceptable . There is a divided Committee on the flat areas . <br /> There are still major concerns about flat roofs. <br /> Ray said to keep on schedule they have to keep moving forward and <br /> have to keep drawing . With approval of this scheme , they can <br /> keep going forward and will come back to the Committee with <br /> details of the roofs to prove to the Committee they will work . <br /> If they have to re-study the architecture it holds up moving <br /> forward . <br /> Paul said the schedule doesn ' t mean anything if the Committee is <br /> not happy with the scheme . Are there any other alternatives? Can <br /> we find another way to deal with it? <br /> Ed said it is their obligation to convince the Committee that <br /> they have a roof, roof edges and runoff management system to <br /> satisfy the Committee ' s needs . <br /> Janice would like to see a shed roof , she does not :cant the water <br /> runoff depending on a pipe in the middle of the roof . <br /> Peter asked if the flat roof was for cost or for aesthetics? <br /> Ray said both . He agrees that he does not want to move forward <br /> unless the Committee is happy with the scheme . <br /> Peter polled the Committee : <br /> Paul - flat roofs are potentially a problem. Architecturally he <br /> likes it but is concerned about long term maintenance of the flat <br /> areas . <br /> Michael : has no problem with it . <br /> Joe : does not like the roofs , because they are not pitched . <br /> Merry Sue likes it. <br /> Janice agrees with Paul . Flat roofs worry her . There is rarely a <br /> School Committee meeting where they don ' t have to talk about roof <br /> problems. <br /> Bill is concerned about the flat roof. He would like to see the <br /> cafeteria area in more detail . <br /> Joan said personally she has had back luck with flat roofs . More <br /> pitch would make her more comfortable . <br /> Bill Hauck suggested they come up with a mid-way pitch of 1 /2" <br /> instead of 1 /3" . He likes interior drains because they won' t <br /> freeze up and won ' t run off on the face of the building . <br /> Peter said Nantucket had a flat roof and asked how it is working? <br /> Ed said it was finished a year ago; they have had no complaints . <br /> Peter said it seems the Committee ' s concerns are not aesthetics <br /> but function . <br /> 5 <br />
