{"content":[{"text":"stated metal buildings do not sag, and they are more structurally sound and more energy \n efficient than stick built buildings. Mr. Ransdell stated there is an endless variety of metal \n buildings. Mayor Pro‐tem Farrell stated often times it has to do with incompatibility, why the \n Board addressed the metal building language. Mayor Mofield stated there are still metal \n buildings in Aberdeen right now in a terrible state of disrepair. Janet Peele stated this proposed \n ordinance would put her out of business if there were a fire, because no other type of \n construction could be afforded. Mayor Mofield stated perhaps a compromise could be reached \n on this issue. Mr. Ransdell gave an example of an industry moving to Aberdeen with 200 jobs, \n 200,000 square feet building, every side would have to be something besides metal – and it \n would discourage this business from coming to Aberdeen. Planning Director Liles stated if the \n building is industrial it can be approved, with the Board’s approval. Planning Director Liles \n stated if more than 60% of the building is destroyed, then there are some hoops that would \n have to be jumped through in order to replace a metal building. Attorney Morphis stated as \n the ordinance is worded, metal buildings are not allowed in the historic district. Mr. Ransdell \n stated he has no problem with not allowing metal buildings in the historic district, but in other \n areas he is concerned about eliminating them. Mayor Mofield stated if this language were \n removed about the metal buildings, then there would be metal buildings all over Aberdeen. \n Mr. Ransdell stated perhaps wording could be used to allow higher quality metal buildings, \n rather than the lower quality buildings. Joe Dannelley stated Senior Planner Graham discussed \n this item at the last Planning Board meeting, and that the standard used for the new Dollar \n General could be used with 100% of any façade visible from the front, and 30% on each side not \n be metal façade. Ms. Peele suggested incorporating some type of required landscaping with \n metal buildings. Mr. Dannelley stated this situation should be monitored so that business is not \n lost to Aberdeen because of the overly restrictive ordinance.","bbox":{"left":0.147059,"top":0.071234,"width":0.763798,"height":0.504365}},{"text":"Mr. Ransdell suggested the Town Board do some research on the standards in the metal \n building industry, and perhaps there could be some type of compromise reached on this issue. \n Mayor Mofield stated she thinks Aberdeen’s standards are more lenient than surrounding \n municipalities. Mayor Mofield suggested Planning Board members express their concerns to \n Senior Planner Graham and see if some type of compromise could be reached on this issue. \n Commissioner Parker suggested the Planning Board members take a look at the building to the \n side of Davenport Galaxy when they leave, and see what metal buildings look like as they \n deteriorate.","bbox":{"left":0.147059,"top":0.594264,"width":0.7637580000000002,"height":0.16406199999999993}},{"text":"Commissioner Parker asked what the standard is right now regarding metal buildings. \n Planning Director Liles stated there are 2 current standards.
