Industrial Building Material Requirements – Hiltner building STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of alternative material PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: None BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff is working with Mark Hiltner on Site Plan review for a proposed new 11,960 s.f. building in the Industrial Park. Code requires 25% of the building facing the street consist of specific materials which are listed below. Intent of code is to create higher quality and aesthetically pleasing building facades that face streets. Mr. Hiltner is proposing an alternative material (standing seam metal) to meet the 25% requirement on the East (street facing) side of the building. Applicant states this material is more durable and actually is higher cost then other options like vinyl or aluminum lap siding. Staff consulted with our Building Official who also concurs with this assessment regarding quality and cost. Staff would like PC interpretation and approval on the proposed alternative material. Staff sees this as an enhancement over allowable materials like vinyl or aluminum lap siding. I-1 Industrial Ordinance 502.62 Subd 10 Section C. Building Exteriors. All construction of new facilities, excluding additions that are less than 30% of the existing structure, shall consist of pre-cast or cast tip up concrete walls, concrete block (painted or decorative), and stick built construction and shall include footings that meet the requirement of the MN State Building Code, in relation to frost protection. Pre-finished architectural metal panels, with a minimum twenty (20) year manufacturer color- fast warranty, may be used as a construction material. A minimum of twenty-five (25%) of the exterior building finish directly facing streets, exclusive of windows and doors, shall consist of materials comparable to: face brick; natural stone or cultured rock; glass; vinyl; stucco, aluminum lapsiding; cut block; and, concrete block (the surface must be treated with an applied decorative texture or material). Pre-cast or cast in place concrete buildings shall provide the same amount of adornment.

From:Cory Ehlert To:Nate Keller Cc:Erik Weisser; Kevin Cox; Mark Hiltner; brent@clexcavating.com Subject:Re: Exterior Materials in Industrial Park - St. Joseph Date:Tuesday, September 5, 2023 3:07:24 PM Nate, We see the standing seam metal product on the gable end as a qualifying upgrade to the allowable product options, (instead of the vinyl or aluminum lap siding). The metal standing seam has a spacing of 16 inches in between the ribs and will separate itself nicely from the metal siding below the freezeboard. We elected to focus on the gable end in order to meet & exceed the 25% requirement. Based on our calculations, by adding up the gable end and the Copper overhangs, we are at about 32% of the building design requirement. The standing seam product is 4 times the cost of the regular metal siding, so this is not an effort to save money, we really want this building to look good! We also think it's worth noting that the 16" seam width on the standing seam vertical siding that is shown on the gable will be the same seam width as the Copper colored overhangs that is above the service door entrances. These two patterns will tie in nicely together and are an important part of the design of the building. This design concept was taken from many of the recent building remodels in St Joe. Bad Habit, LaPlayette, WR Home & Company, K Power Yoga and the Kensington bank buildings all have some version of the vertical siding that we are incorporating into our building.
