The comments concerned a metal paneled pole barn that was recently <br />constructed on his neighbor's property and whether these metal panel structures should be <br />allowed on smaller lots. The City Council suggested the Planning Commission review the <br />standards associated with accessory building and metal panel structures in particular to determine <br />whether any additional design and architectural controls are warranted. Staff requested feedback <br />from the Commission on this matter. <br />Commission Business <br />Chairperson Bauer asked where an accessory building would be allowed. <br />City Planner Anderson reviewed the lot sizes and zoning districts where an accessory building <br />would be allowed. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented on the initial concerns that were raised <br />and stated the placement of a metal paneled structure was of concern along with the minimum <br />roof pitch. <br />Chairperson Bauer stated the roof pitch could make a building even more overbearing. <br />Commissioner Anderson believed that the structure in question had more square footage than the <br />home. It was his opinion the accessory structure looked out of place and should have been <br />pushed to the rear yard. He recommended that all accessory structures match the colors of the <br />principle structure. <br />Planning Commission/July 6, 2017 <br />Page 14 of 16 <br />
