1. Exceptions: Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection A, the international building code is amended as follows:
a. Declaration Of Policy: The mayor and board of commissioners of the city of Ponca City find that the use of wood and wood shake shingles upon a building or structure increases the hazard that the flames of a nearby fire may spread to that building or structure. It is their desire that the use of wood shingles be reduced. The commission determines that in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare the citizens of the city should not be compelled by deed restrictions, restrictive covenants or otherwise to use wood shingles for their homes, buildings or other structures and that the public health, safety and welfare would be better protected if any such coercive processes were made invalid and unenforceable. At the same time, the commission is aware that developers and residents of subdivisions presently burdened by such restrictions on the use of wood shingles are interested in maintaining the aesthetic value of their neighborhood and that any law declaring these covenants to be invalid and unenforceable should also recognize the interest of developers and residents.
b. Requirements Mandating Use Of Wood And Wood Shake Shingles Invalid And Unenforceable: Deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, building association rules, contracts, plats or other instruments, whether existing or hereafter created, which require or effectively require the use of wood or wood shake shingles on any building or structure are hereby declared to be invalid and unenforceable. It shall be unlawful for any individual or organization to establish or enforce any deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, building association rules, contracts, plats or other instruments, which prevent or effectively prevent the owner from using roof coverings other than wood. Such owners shall have the option to substitute roof covering materials that are reasonably compatible in color and appearance with the existing roofs in the same subdivision. This determination of reasonable compatibility shall be made by the developer, architectural or building committee, homeowners' association or other similar committee in compliance with the legally created covenants in each subdivision, or in compliance with the regulations of any homeowners' association with the legal authority to make such a determination, if any, but only to the extent that their determination does not avoid or effectively avoid the purposes of this subsection A. Their determination of reasonable compatibility will be appealable to the construction appeals board in accordance with title 3, chapter 9 of this code the same as if the decision had been made by the code official.
2. Limitations: The provisions of subsection A1b of this section shall not be construed to abridge or abrogate the authority of deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, building association rules, contracts, plats, other instrument, the developer, architectural or building committee, homeowners' association or other similar committee with legal authority in any respect other than in the enforcement of restrictive covenants requiring the use of wood and wood shake shingles.
