We were also told that architectural metal cladding was meant to be a decoraƟve accent, even though <br />City code shows it as a Class II material with usage allowed for up to 75% of the building material. No <br />language exists limiƟng this to an accent material. <br />Furthermore, City code does not spell out percentages or calculaƟons of allowed materials for an <br />addiƟon to a building. So for example, if you have an exisƟng building comprised of 100% Class I or II <br />materials, does that impact the percentages that can be used for new materials on a building addiƟon? <br />City staff said the new addiƟon needed to be viewed as a new, stand-alone building when it came to <br />these percentages and no for exisƟng building materials credit could be factored into the calculaƟons <br />even though this was not represented in City code. <br />The reason for our appeal is we believe the code requirement pertaining to structural metal wall systems <br />is being viewed very narrowly by staff. The product we are proposing is not similar to a pole barn or an <br />agricultural building. Insulated metal panel buildings are commonly used in warehouse, industrial and <br />commercial applicaƟons and are acceptable in neighboring communiƟes around Lino Lakes. <br />102
