258 COUNCIL MEETING JULY 26, 1993 3. The exterior of the structure blend with the existing building. Council Member Kuether asked if the current ordinances allow an addition of more than 50% to a metal building. Ms. Wyland explained that this provision pertains to pole structures and the proposed building is a steel building, not a pole building. She explained that a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required because the exterior is metal. The purpose of the ordinance was to define what types of metal exteriors would be acceptable in certain zoning districts. Mr. Schumacher explained the difference between different types of metal exteriors. The proposed new building will have the same exterior as the current building. Council Member Kuether asked if the proposed building conforms to size limitations outlined in the current ordinances. Ms. Wyland said that there are no limitations since the building is not a pole type building. Council Member Kuether asked for copies of the current ordinances dealing with this type of construction. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the Amended Conditional Use Permit with the conditions outlined by the Planning and Zoning Board. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Lot Combination, St. Joseph Catholic Church - Recently the City was asked to sign a hard shell plat for the St. Joseph Catholic Church Cemetery. The plat was prepared at the direction of the Church's attorney and combines three (3) existing parcels of property containing the cemetery. The property is located north of Elm Street and east of St. Joseph Catholic Church. It is zoned Single Family Residential (R-1) and a cemetery is a permitted use with a Conditional Use Permit. This cemetery use is a "grandfathered" use and there is no Conditional Use Permit. A request to allow lot combinations normally does not require City Council action. However, signatures are required on the hard shell, therefore, formal City Council action is required. The Planning and Zoning Board have reviewed this request and have recommended approval. The overhead projector was used to show the parcels to be combined. Ms. Wyland was asked why St. Joseph Church requested that the three (3) parcels be combined. She explained that the Church wanted to erase the parcel division lines so that new grave sites could be plotted. PAGE 4 1 1 1
