As we prepare for the winter season in the Pelican Sound community, an important vote will be before our community in October in reference to changes in the PSGRC ARC guidelines regarding types of roofing tiles.
Approximately one year ago, a joint committee of the ARC and SPC was created to look at current trends in landscaping and architectural designs that might be beneficial to Pelican Sound. This Committee (Design Progression Committee: DPC)was to look at trends that might affect our community and then present their suggestions to Pelican Sound in 12 to 18 months for review.
The DPC was made aware that one of the Pelican Sound communities of multiple unit buildings would be getting new roofs and would like to use flat tiles.
That prompted the DPC committee to begin reviewing all the documents available, talking with several knowledgeable people and touring Shadow Wood, Heritage Palms and West Bay, where they were able to witness the current trends and saw how these communities are incorporating flat tiles roofs with existing barrel type roofing.
As stated in the attached document, Pelican Sound aspires to be the most desirable bundled community in Southwest Florida and, in keeping with that philosophy, we continue to explore the latest trends and maintain an open mind to changes and new, upcoming enhancements.
After much discussion, the PSGRC ARC Committee feels flat tile roofs are something Pelican Sound should move forward with to keep up with current trends.
The NVR’s will be asked to vote on these ARC changes, October 27, 2022.
The Masters Community will be holding an informational meeting, live and via zoom, on Tuesday, September 27 at 10 a.m. to discuss the proposed changes and answer any questions or concerns.
I have attached the powerpoint slide presentation prepared by the DPC that details the proposed changes and shows multiple pictures of co-existing flat and barrel type tiles.
While more than 80% of the houses in Pelican Sound have installed new roofs, it is still important that everyone participate at the meeting on September 27 and following the meeting, cast your vote on the future direction for the installation of flat roof tiles.
