Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher reported on the actions of the Council in reference to the request of Mr. Aldridge for a special use permit for the construction of a retail plumbing shop in Carole Estates II. Mr. Aldridge had been asked by the Planning and Zoning to look for land in an area already zoned LI. Mr. Aldridge had failed to find any such property. The current ordinance does allow plumbing shops in a commercial district. The Council had requested the Plannin and Zoning to either approve this request or deny. The file on this action was discussed. The request for the Planning and Zoning Board to consider the request for a special use permit to allow a commercial building. The first it6,.j on the agenda was a request for a speical use permit from Mr. Ferry Malley. Mr. Malley lives in Lakeview Woodlands plat on Knoll Drive. His request is for a 40x64 pole building to be used for the use of working with his antique car hobby. This would enable him to have the cars at his home. This building would be used for a shop and storage. Mr. Malley pointed out that the building would not be visable from the street. Mr. Malley was asked if this was to be a metal building and he said, at the present time, Yes. IIIMr. Heath pointed out that the ordinance restricts a metal building to 150 square feet and the State restrict a detached building to 1000 square feet. He felt this City must abide by those restrictions. There is a house on one side of his lot and he has not discussed this with them. The other lot is empty at this time. There was some discussion of the possible use of the lands surrounding this property. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that the State Building Code states that any build- ing over 1000 square feet must be clasified as commercial. If a variance is granted, this would,in theory,be equivalent to a rezoning of this land. Mr. Malley was asked if he felt he needed a building this large. Mr. Malley said he hadn't really computed the needed footage, but he wanted it large enough to contain all his cars and parts. Mr. Heath said he would like to see the neighbors consulted and he was con- cerned with the restrictions of the State Building Code. Mr. Heath was also concerned over setting a precedent in allowing such a building in a residential area. He felt if one building such as this is allowed, there will be rash of requests for this same type of construction. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the reasons why this ordinance had been adopted - the existance of these building.4eliminates the commercial part -time businesses 410 creeping into the residential areas. Mr. Malley was asked if he would consider constructing a smaller building and he said he would consider this but would prefer this size.
