Public Hearing Chairman Barbara Snyder opened the previously continued public hearing
Continued to consider design standards in the commercial and industrial districts at
7:39 p.m.
Mike Duffy, City Consultant, presented each board member with a five -page
document that proposed design standards for the commercial and industrial
districts. He stated that this process was very similar to the "CPO" District
and primary purpose was to establish guidelines to improve the aesthetic
appearance of buildings, signage, and lighting. He stated prior to this meeting,
he received a faxed -letter from a property owner stating concerns with proposed
guidelines as follows:
C.1 Horizontal and vertical elements shall extend completely around
the building?
Mike Duffy stated four -sided construction should be completed and a building
in the commercial district would not necessarily be added onto like a building
in the industrial district.
Chairman Snyder inquired if there could be an exception to that rule and Mike
Duffy stated certainly and in fact two modifications were made to the Filger
Car Wash with side yard set back and signage.
H.1 Requires 35 ft. set back from any single family residentially zoned
property?
Mike Duffy stated that the property owner's concern was that a 5000 s.f. lot
would be un- buildable. Mike stated the request could always go to the Board
of Zoning Adjustment. The committee reduced it from the CPO guidelines.
They know that some Cl lots along Vivion and West Platte are not as deep.
I. lc Excludes "stucco pre - manufactured panels "?
Mike Duffy stated EFIS panels would not be acceptable.
1.1e Standing seam -metal roofing as an incidental role?
Mike Duffy stated he did not see the complaint with this item. The list of
materials speak for themselves.
J.3 Required pitched roofs on single story buildings?
Mike Duffy stated pitched roofs should be required on single -story buildings,
Buildings using flat roofs with a pitch of 2" vertical to 12" horizontal or less
shall incorporate parapets or cornice lines. The roof line is measured to
mid- point. Shawn Lee inquired about problems with ice and snow on metal
roofs and sheeting off. Mike Duffy stated aesthetics were addressed here and
liability to public was on property owners. We can address that to applicants.
J.7 Allows control of color schemes, material styles and textures to
BOA?
Ben Prell, City Attorney, stated this provision would be safe and the legality to
allow this flexibility to the BOA would fall in our favor.
No grandfather clause to address permits in progress...?
Ben Pre11 stated that Chapter 460 addresses this and would cover it.
General discussion was held about color schemes, chain link, vinyl, and
wood fence materials. It was determined that the guidelines need to
be as clear as possible so the public know what they have to meet. The City
needs to be diligent to enforce maintenance issues.
Motion to Recommend George Flaws made a motion to recommend approval of the design standards
Approval in a commercial and industrial district; seconded by Betty Burch; all voted aye;
