MINUTES <br />City Council <br />Oct. 10, 1985 <br />Metal <br />Buildings <br />The Planner reported that the Council is concerned that metal buildings <br />will appear in residential and business zones. This is the reason for <br />the proposed code amendment. This amendment does not effect industrial <br />areas. <br />Mr.Davison asked if under the Code amendment if someone could put up <br />a 10 foot by 13 foot metal shed. The Planner replied that this would <br />not be allowed, but a 10 by 12 shed would be. The Code would limit <br />sheds to no greater than 120 square feet. <br />Mr. Davi on asked if the Council was in the position to make judgments <br />as outlined in item 3 of the proposed amendment. The Planner replied <br />that the zoning ordinance is to preserve the health, safety and general <br />welfare of the City, and, therefore, the Council can make judgments <br />involving property values. <br />Mr. Davison pointed out the Building Inspector's opinion on the the <br />items outlined in the ordinance amendment. The Planner stated that the <br />ordinance is similar to what other cities have and contains pretty <br />standard language. <br />Kingsbury commented that she felt the ordinance gave the community <br />time to reflect on what goes in. <br />Mr. Costa pointed out that Budget Power isa metal building and does not <br />look bad in a business district. Mr. Grittman pointed out the City's <br />industrial park and it was the feeling of the Council that this should <br />not be allowed in a residential or business district. <br />Mr. DeLonais pointed out that the buildings in the industrial park are <br />just warehouses. <br />The Planner stated that there iscurrently no restriction on putting <br />these buildings up in a business district. The City does not want <br />these in business districts, and wants high- quality development. <br />Mr. DeLonais asked if steel siding would be acceptable if it were non- <br />structural. The Planner replied that under this amendment it would not <br />be permitted. <br />Mr. DeLonais recommended tabling action on the ordinance amendment <br />dealing with metal buildings until such time as the Council replies <br />to the Building Inspector's September 27 letter on this subject. <br />Motion seconded by Mrs. Kingsbury. <br />Motion carried 6 - 0. <br />Page -5- <br />
