Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Regarding Metal Roofs – City Planner 16 <br />Larsen reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that included information on: 17 <br /> - Background (situation that brought up the question), City regulations; 18 <br /> - Neighboring communities (how they regulate metal roofs); 19 <br /> - Planning & Zoning Board voted to support text amendment (4-3 vote); 20 <br /> - Staff concerns;; 21 <br /> - Seeking council direction 22 <br /> - First reading of ordinance allowing text amendment is on next council agenda 23 <br />pending council action. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Mayor Rafferty noted information provided on what other cities allow. He also noted 26 <br />that the packet included additional information in the form of You Tube videos. One type 27 <br />is referred to as an “egg panel” because it’s been associated with rural areas. He is not in 28 <br />favor of changing the guidelines as they currently exist. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Councilmember Lyden said he is reviewing information carefully and thinking that 31 <br />standing seam may be appropriate in R-1 areas but exterior fasteners could be allowed in 32 <br />rural. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Councilmember Stoesz said he’s spoken with roofing contractors and building 35 <br />professionals and no one he spoke with supported outside fasteners. He is particularly 36 <br />concerned about the screws and how the color will hold up over time. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Councilmember Ruhland said he reached out to a roofing contractor also; he is starting to 39 <br />understand that residential isn’t appropriate. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Since the subject and an action has come forward from the Planning and Zoning Board, it 42 <br />would be appropriate for formal council consideration. 43 <br /> 44
