History
Staff has received requests to use an insulated metal wall
panels in the C-3 and I-1 use districts.
May 15, 2017, PC discussed building materials and the
increased use of insulated metal panels.
PC approved a motion directing staff to investigate and
potentially incorporate the material into Architectural
Design Standards.
Current
Ordinance allows for prefinished metal to be used on up to
25% of each exterior wall.
Insulated metal panels were not contemplated when the
ordinance related to prefinished metal was established.
Insulated metal panels have been used in Prior Lake on
previous projects.
Approved under subsection 1107.2202 (6) d., Use of Non-Listed
Materials, which states in part,
“The Zoning Administrator may permit an exterior surface
material not identified in Subsection 1107.2200 (6), provided the
material is a result of new technology and/or the material is equal
to or better in quality, appearance and durability than those
materials identified”.
