. ~ ~ City Council Minutes November 20, 1989 Page 2 . It was the consensus of the City Council that staff interpretation is correct and that no further Council action is required. 5.2. Conditional Use Permi tMetal Skinned Buildin~ by Leo Glunz/Public Hearin~ Steve Bjork, Zoning Assistant, indicated that Mr. Leo Glunz of 20338 Vance Street is requesting a conditional use permi t to allow the construction of a metal skinned structure within a platted area. Mr. Bjork further stated that the proposed accessory structure will be located 260 feet from a neighboring residence and the City ordinance states that a metal skinned accessory structure must be at least 300 feet away from adjacent dwellings or platted areas. Mary Eberley, Planning Commission representative, indicated that the Planning Commission measured the proposal against the seven standards for granting a conditional use permit and decided that the issue was inconsistent with the comprehensive plan, that it will impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding vacant property, and further that it will not fully comply with all other requirements of the City Code of Ordinances. Mary Eberley further indicated that they had received comments, both for and against, the proposal from neighboring residents. She further indicated that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the conditional use permit. Mr. Leo Glunz stated that the City had issued him a building permit for the construction of his structure and further that his si te was approved by the City. He indicated that he was ordered to stop construction by the City after the framework was up because of the distance to the neighboring residence. Mr. Leo Glunz stated that he had removed the horses from his property and is boarding them at the present time. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, state that the keeping of horses on Mr. Glunz's property is another matter and would require an additional condi tional use permit. Mr. Rohlf further indicated that if ,Mr. Glunz decides to bring this request before the Council, there would be no additional fee for this conditional use permit. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, stated that if the metal skinned structure is not allowed by the City Council, the applicant could use a different type of siding other than metal which would negate the need for a conditional use permit. Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing at this time. Tom Lahn, of 11076 205th Avenue, indicated that he owns adjacent property and that he has no objection to the metal skinned building. He further stated that he would prefer metal skinned siding because of the upkeep. Mr. Lahn also stated that he would have no objection if Mr. Glunz were to have horses in the building. ~
