• • Planning & Zoning Board December 13, 2000 Page 4 Mr. Lyden stated he is aware of those concerns and has taken that information into consideration when designing the pole barn. He stated that cost is not the issue, rather, it is the quality of the building. He noted the added aesthetics resulting from the 5:12 roof pitch of the pole barn to match that of the house, the wainscot style of siding, two foot overhang, and overhead garage style door. Mr. Lyden pointed out the proposed location is right next to his house so he will be constructing a quality structure. Mr. Lyden stated he understands the concern related to aesthetics. However, no one will build within one - quarter mile to the north or within hundreds of acres to the west. To the south, the property owner is buffered by 75 feet of pine trees and has provided his consent. Mr. Lyden stated this proposal will not be a negative impact to the residents or future development of the City. Chair Schaps stated a reading of the ordinance indicates the criteria is not met. Mr. Lyden stated the siding proposed for the pole barn is higher quality than what is on his house. Mr. Rafferty asked if this will be an aluminum s cture ' r. Lyden stated it is and explained there is a 50 year warranty on the p for and materials. He advised of the other quality aspects including the wainsc ii aint. Mr. Rafferty commented on the maint on his house and asked if this is th siding would consider. ues he has experienced with cedar siding g someone interested in maintenance free Mr. Schilling asked about t .tio s f an EIFS, a plasterboard siding. Mr. Lyden indicted he is not aware of that Mr. Schilling stated the issues of quality and maintenance free material wo d be met with EIFS. Mr. Lyden stated his main concern and reason for the variance request relates to the soils. Ms. Lane noted the front of the structure will be visible from the street and asked if a house -style of siding can be placed on the front elevation of the pole barn so it is more attractive and better matches the house. Mr. Lyden stated that may be a viable option and explained that his plans are to use a clay colored siding and then reside the house next summer so it matches the pole barn. Chair Schaps stated he is unable to vote to support this request tonight for the reasons he stated. He suggested more investigation needs to be done on other siding treatments. He noted that the Ordinance specifically states a prohibition to "corrugated siding and roof." Mr. Lyden stated that term may be up for interpretation and he does not believe it refers to the type of metal he is proposing.
