Request by 7040 Lakeland Partners for Conditional Use Permit to Amend Approved Building Materials (Aldi's). Public Hearing -Case No CU 07-32 Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report for this item and provided photos of the site. He explained that the applicant is requesting the amendment to allow substituting metal standing seam roofing in place of the approved fabric awnings. The reason is based on longevity, as fabric awning would require more maintenance. Mr. Leeseberg noted that both materials meet the design standards, so staff recommends approval of the request. Chair Stevens opened the public hearing. There being no public comment, Chair Stevens closed the public hearing. Commissioner Scott stated he had no issue with the change and supported approval. Chair Stevens concurred, stating that the material was a better fit to match the roofing and also would hold up better. Commissioner Staul stated the material change was consistent with the project.
