Conditional Use Permit Request by Oak Crest Partnership/Public Hearing Chairman Wilson introduced this request for a conditional use permit to allow a metal skinned garage in an R-4 district. Chairman Wilson stated that the City Council made these structures a conditional use to gain some control over their use in residential settings. He stated that there was a great deal of concern when the existing metal skinned garages were put up by the petitioner. mainly because of the galvanized roofs. Mr. Rohlf stated that he allowed the slab to be poured since it could be used for either a metal-skinned or wooden structure. Chairman Wilson opened the public heaing.
