<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Elk River Planning Commission Minutes <br />March 23, 1993 <br /> <br />Page 17 <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />THE VARIANCE FOR EVANS AVENUE BE CONTINGENT UPON PRELIMINARY PLAT <br />APPROVAL. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER KREGER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0. <br /> <br />13. Consider A Request For An Ordinance Amendment, Section 900.30 (5)(c) <br />"Roofing Standards" by John Weicht/Public Hearing <br /> <br />Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, stated the applicant, <br />John Weicht, is requesting the City of Elk River consider an ordinance <br />amendment that would allow non-colored metal roofs. The City <br />eliminated non-colored metal roofs to avoid glare to adjacent <br />properties. When reviewing this ordinance, the Planning Commission <br />should consider the likelihood of multi-story buildings being built <br />adjacent to flat, non-colored metal roofs. Anywhere a C-3, I-I, or <br />1-2 zone abuts a multifamily zone, the likelihood is high that a <br />multi-story building could be built adjacent. Mr. Weicht indicated <br />there is a non-colored, galvanized roofing material called <br />galvalume, which has a dull satin finish. Manufacturers indicated it <br />will still reflect some light, however, not at the intensity of normal <br />galvanized roofing material. Mr. Rohlf stated an ordinance amendment <br />reflecting the requested change (if approved) is attached. <br /> <br />Chairman Minton opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />John Weicht, PO Box 368, Elk River, MN, explained the manufacturers <br />information regarding the product "galvalume." Further, he expressed <br />some concern regarding the cost of colored metal (higher cost) versus <br />galvalume (lower cost). <br /> <br />There being no further comments from the public, Chairman Minton closed <br />the public hearing. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER SPOTTS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO <br />SECTION 900.30 "ROOFING STANDARDS" BY JOHN WEICHT, CITING STAFF'S MEMO <br />DATED MARCH 17, 1993.
