He then indicated that the Board of Di rectors runs the Senior Citizen Social Center between those meetings. Mr. Plowman thanked Commissioner Vant Hull for serving as Commissioner Liaison and for her attendance at the meetings.

He noted that the Chamber of Commerce information booth located on North 7th Avenue is almost totally manned by senior citizen volunteers. The Commissioners thanked Mr. Plowman for his presentation as well as all of the help the senior citizens have provided over the years. Report from Chairman Robert Lashaway re Board of Appeals functions and activities City Manager Wysocki stated that Chairman Robert Lashaway is present to discuss the 06-15-87 2Sit functions and activities of the Bqard of Appeals. Mr. Lashaway stated that the Board of Appeals was formed under provisions of the Uniform Building Code, with their stated purpose being to determine the suitability of alternate materials and methods of construction, providing reasonable interpretations of the Uniform Building Code. He noted that the Board's purpose is not to grant variances to the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, but simply to consider proposals for alternative methods of meeting those require- ments. I Mr. Lashaway noted that before the Board was formed in late 1983, the City Commission served as the Board of Appeals; however, some of the Commissioners expressed concern about taking action on items which could easily require some technical expertise. Robert Lashaway then stated that the Board of Appeals conducted its organizational meet- ing in December 1983, with the initial board including three architects, one plumber and one electrician. He noted that since that time, the Board has held one meeting to consider one appeal. Mr. Lashaway stated he feels this is an indication that the Building Department is making good, enforceable decisions and that the Board of Appeals Is recognized as the body to which those decisions may be appealed. Mayor Mathre stated that she is grateful for the Board of Appeals, because it has been difficult for the Commission to handle those issues pertaining to the Uniform Building Code. Commissioner Stiff noted ~hat an architect had expressed to him concern that the building inspectors were making decisions at their level which would be more appropriately made by some- one with more expertise. Mr. Lashaway stated that the local building inspectors in certified municipalities are usually qualified to make the necessary inspections. He further noted that some architects feel that the inspector is an added insurance factor, since he may find items on a job that the architect has overlooked. Mr. Lashaway then stated that the local building inspectors may rely upon expertise available through the State Building Codes Division as well as the International Conference of Building Officials; and the local inspectors do not hesitate to use those two sources. I City Manager Wysocki stated that when the City has a large or complex project to monitor, the staff will send the plans to the I CBO office for review prior to issuance of any permits. He noted that when the plans for the new hospital were received, that process was followed and seemed to work effectively. Mayor Mathre thanked Mr. Lashaway for his presentation. Report from Chairman James Goehrung re Arts Advisory Committee functions_and activities City Manager Wysocki stated that Chairman James Goehrung is present to discuss the func- tions and activities of the Arts I)dvisory Committee. Mr. Goehrung stated that the Arts Advisory Committee is one of the newer boards formed by the Commission, being established about four years ago. He noted that the board was initially formed during the controversy surrounding the centennial mural being painted on the side of the Eagle's building; and their first duty was to work with the artists as well as the public in an attempt to address some of the concerns expressed. He stated that the Committee also worked with the library on location of a large donated tapestry, recommended a location in Lindley Park for placement of a sculpture purchased by the Centennial Committee, and worked with the library on developing a policy regarding the display of various forms of art by local artists. He then expressed concern that the actions taken to date have been reactive rather than proactive, noting that In the four instances he cited, the Committee became involved after the process had already begun. Mr. Goehrung stated that the Committee is comprised of three members, all having expertise, I and interest, in the arts. He indicated they are interested in continuing to serve; however, they are not sure how actively they should advocate the arts, particularly under the economic circumstances. Mr. James Goehrung then reminded the Commission of the centennial celebration upcoming in 1989, and encouraged the Commission to keep the Arts Advisory Committee in mind during plan- ning of those festivities. He als.o stated that at a recent meeting of the Beall Park Arts Center Board, the suggestion was made that the City's band activities might more appropriately fit under the performing arts rather than under recreation. 06-15-87 255 Commissioner Vant Hull noted that in Loveland, Colorado, one of the City parks contains a number of sculpture pieces, suggesting that a similar display might be nice here if the Arts Advisory Committee were willing to solicit pieces of art. Commissioner Jordan noted that a portion of the proceeds from the first "Taste of Bozeman" were donated to the Beall Park Arts Center; however, they have gone to different activities since then. I Mr. Goehrung stated that monies from the "Taste of Bozeman" are given to new arts activities to get them started, noting that they become self-supporting after they are established. Mayor Mathre thanked Mr. Goehrung for his presentation. Hi De artment re ali nment of North 19th City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a proposed letter to be sent to the State of Montana Department of Highways. The City Manager reminded the Commission that they had discussed this item previously; and requested that they authorize him to sign the proposed letter, encouraging the State to proceed with acquisition of the right-of-way needed to realign North 19th Avenue approximately thirty feet to the west. Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the State will reimburse the City for the additional right-of-way. City Manager Wysocki stated that the Department of Highways has indicated a willingness to proceed with early acquisition of the right-of-way and will, therefore, purchase the additional right-of-way. It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commission authorize the City Manager to sign a letter to the State Highway Department regarding the align- ment of North 19th Avenue from Durston Road to West Oak Street and acquisition of additional right-of-way for the project. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting I Aye being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none. Commission urchase of road oil from the State Hi hwa epartment City Manager Wysocki presented Commission Resolution No. 2659, as reviewed by the City Attorney, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2659 Purchase of Road Oil The City Manager reminded the Commission that a Resolution authorizing purchase of road oil from the State of Montana Department of Highways is adopted for each fiscal year. He noted that the Department of Highways has the capability to store the road oil; and the City can pur- chase the amount it needs at a cost based on their purchase price. He then recommended that the Commission adopt Commission Resolution No. 2659, authorizing purchases during Fiscal Year 1987-88. It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commis- sion adopt Commission Resolution No. 2659, for the purchase of road oil. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none.

He noted that, although the City did its sludge injection for several years at no cost to the property owners, a market has now. been established and people are prepared to pay for that service. He further indicated that the individual had also spoken highly of Don Noyes, Superintendent of the Waste Water Treatment Plant. (9) Mayor Mathre distributed to the Commissioners a revised performance evaluation form for the City Manager. She then asked the Commissioners to review this form and be prepared to discuss it at next week's meeting.

He suggested that the Commissioners review this list prior to its being prepared in ballot form for their action.

Recess - 5:01 p.m. Mayor Mathre declared a recess at 5:01 p.m., to reconvene at 7:00 p.m. for the purpose of conducting the scheduled public hearings. I Reconvene - 7:00 p.m. Mayor Mathre reconvened the meeting at 7: 00 p. m. for the purpose of conducting the scheduled public hearings. This was the time and place set to conduct the public hearinQ for the Conditional Use Permit requested by Bridger View Foundation to allow an inpatient chemical dependency program to be operated out of the existing structure located on Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, Block 108, Northern Pacific Addition. This site is more commonly known as 719 North Wallace Avenue. Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing. Community Development/Zoning Administrator Mike Money presented the Staff Report. He noted the subject site is more commonly known as the Lehrkind Mansion, which currently houses a bed and breakfast inn. The Planner stated that the Zoning Commission considered this appli- cation on their consent agenda and concurred in the staff's recommendation for approval, subject to one condition. Mr. Richard Nankivell, Di rector of the Bridger View Foundation, stated he is currently a therapist and is operating a counseling clinic on Haggerty Lane. He noted that the inpatient facility will have ten beds for ten adults, noting that some of the rooms will have two beds, with I the facility targeted to local residents while being open to anyone. He indicated that separate facilities will be available for women. He then stated that a counselor will be available 24 hours a day, in compliance with State regulations. He further noted that an office for the facility will be housed in the old carriage house. City Manager Wysocki asked what the Bridger View Foundation is. Mr. Nankivell stated it is a nonprofit organization operated under an advisory board comprised of local citizens interested in chemical dependency. City Manager Wysocki then asked how long the Foundation has been in existence. Mr. Nankivell stated that the Foundation was establ ished about a year ago; however, they have had difficulty finding a suitable facility. He then indicated that they have submitted a Certificate of Need to the State of Montana Department of Health and Environmental Sciences and are awaiting certification; however, they must have a location before that application is completely processed. He further noted that all of the professional people working at the facility must be certified by the State. City Manager Wysocki asked how many off-street parking spaces are required for this type of facility. Community Development/ Zoning Administrator Mike Money stated that this type of faCility is not specifically addressed in the Zone Code. He indicated that under the bed and breakfast inn currently in place, seven parking spaces were required. He noted that Mr. Davis sought and received a variance to that requirement, allowing vehicles to be parked along East Aspen Street, which is a dead end street in that area. The Planner stated that as a result of that I action, the staff felt that the parking requirements for this proposed use would be met as well. Mayor Mathre asked the applicant if he is willing to accept the condition recommended by the Zoning Commission; and Mr. Nankivell indicated he is. Mr. William A. Davis, owner of the Lehrkind Mansion, stated he will lease the property to the Bridger View Foundation; and he feels that the integrity of the faCility will be retained under that lease. He noted that he has put a substantial amount of time and effort into re- storing the property and feels comfortable that the proposed use will not have a detrimental impact on that effort. No one was present to speak in opposition to the requested Conditional Use Permit. 06-15-87 258 Mayor Mathre closed the public hearing. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Commis- sion waive the customary one-week waiting interval. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none. It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by Bridger View Foundation to allow an inpatient I chemical dependency program to be operated out of the existing structure at 719 North Wallace Avenue, subject to the condition recommended by the Zoning Commission, as follows: 1. That three copies of the final site plan and the needs assessment be submitted for review and approved by the Planning Director within six months of the date of the City Commis- sion approval, and prior to the issuance of a building permit for the project. One signed copy shall be retained by the Building Inspection Division; one signed copy shall be re- tained by the Planning Director; and one signed copy shall be retained by the applicant. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none. This was the time and place set to conduct the public hearing for the Conditional Use Permit requested by Thomas A. 'Curtis to allow a television station to occupy a structure on Tract 3B, a sub-portion of Block 23 of the Northern Pacific Addition, including installation of a 32-foot tower and 4- to 6-meter diameter satellite antenna. This site is more commonly known as 1128 East Main Street. Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing. Community Development/ Zoning Administrator Mike Money presented the Staff Report. He noted that the subject site does contain an existing building, which the applicant plans to purchase for the proposed use. The Planner stated that when the building was constructed a I few years ago, it did not comply with the existing landscaping and screening requirements; therefore, conditions have been placed on recommended approval of this application that would require those to be met. Planner Money then stated that a letter of opposition from Wanda E. Walker, 1129 East Babcock Street; a letter of opposition from James H. and Shirley L. Clark, 1125 East Babcock Street; and a petition of support containing sixteen signatures have been received and are included in the Commissioners' packets. Mr. Thomas A. Curtis, applicant, indicated he is willing to accept the conditions recommended to be placed on approval of this application. City Manager Wysocki asked Mr. Curtis if someone designs the bases for towers and satellite dishes and asked if his engineer would be willing to certify that the bases would meet the City's requirements. He noted that he feels the applicant's engineer should certify the bases to the City Engineer for review, rather than requiring the City Engineer to review and approve the designs. Mr. Curtis stated that Mr. Bee wou Id need to respond to that question. Commissioner Vant Hull asked about the easement running through the area where the tower and satellite dish are to be located. Planner Money stated that the proposed locations for the tower and satellite dish are on the storm drainage easement only, with easements for the remaining utilities being located closer to the property line. He noted that no maintenance should be required since storm drainage is along the surface at the present time; however, the City should maintain that right since it could possibly be needed in the future. He then indicated that the City has requested that the I bases for the tower and satellite dish be semi-portable to allow access to the easement if it becomes necessary. Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the letter submitted by Mrs. Walker indicates a re- zoning from residential to business in this area and asked when that was done. Community Development/ Zoning Administrator Money stated that review of the DeBoer study done in the 1960's designates the area along East Main Street as motor business; and the community highway business district designation has been included in the Zone Code since its original adoption. He then reminded the Commission that until about eight years ago, there was 06-15-87 259 minimal development along East Main Street within that business district. Commissioner Jordan asked how tall the existing structure is, questioning how high the tower would stand above the building. The Planner indicated the structure is 23 feet 6 inches; and the tower is 32 feet high. Commissioner Stiff asked if the proposed television station will create any interference for people in the surrounding area. I Mr. Benny Bee, owner of the television station, stated there should be minimal inter- ference. He noted that in most areas, residents do not experience any problems; however, he indicated that if anyone does experience interference, he will provide them with a filter to take care of the situation. Mr. Bill Reier, Bozeman area resident, stated that his wife Karen had been one of the applicants for the television station license; and she was subsequently bought out by Mr. Bee. He then stated opposition to the proposal for several reasons. He stated that he feels Bozeman deserves its own television station; and under this proposal, it would receive a satellite from the Hardin station. Mr. Reier then stated that Mr. Bee proposed to construct a television station in 1982, indicating at that time that it would employ 27 people. He noted it was not constructed at that time, with the construction permit expiring in 1985. He indicated that Eagle Communications filed with the FCC for the construction permit for the station; his wife opposed the transfer; and in January 1987 the transfer was denied. Mr. Reier then stated that in March 1987, an agreement between Mr. Bee and Mr. Curtis was filed with the FCC under which KOUS, the Hardin station, would purchase the Bozeman station; and that agreement was later amended to provide for the purchase of 49 percent interest in the Bozeman station. Mr. Bill Reier then stated that the license expires if the television station is not in operation on July 17; and the entire bidding process for the license will start over. He again indicated that he feels Bozeman deserves its own station, not a satellite station, encouraging the Commission to deny this Conditional Use Permit. I Mr. Reier then raised a procedural question about the appl ication for this Conditional Use Permit. He noted that Mr. Curtis has an interest in the television station; however, Mr. Bee is primary owner of the station and holder of the license. Mr. Reier also raised the issue of parking, noting that ten off-street parking spaces have been provided for the building; however, Mr. Bee has indicated an intent to employ 27 people. Planner Money stated that Mr. Thomas Curtis is purchasing the building in which the tele- vision station wi II be located. He then indicated that off-street parking requirements for television and radio statrons are not specifically listed in the Zone Code; therefore, he based the required parking on professional office space. He further noted that is the basis upon which the off-street parking requirements were determined when the building was initially constructed a few years ago; and the ten spaces provided meet those requi rements. Mrs. Ann Milner stated she and her husband own the building at 1122 East Main Street. She then asked how many people wi II be employed at the television station, expressing concern about people parking in their off-street parking area. Mr. Benny Bee stated that he anticipates hiring ten full-time and eight to ten part-time employees. He then noted that he had initially anticipated hiring 21 people; however, the Chronicle picked up the number incorrectly and that error was picked up by the Associated Press and thus was transmitted throughout all articles on the subject. He then indicated that the number quoted includes a local news reporter, noting this would not be a satellite station. Mr. Bee then stated that not all of the employees will be at the station at one time; and the number of off-street parking spaces provided meets the requirements for this Conditional Use Permit. I Mr. Reier indicated that he has a copy of the Petition to Enlarge Issues filed with the Federal Communications Commission; and included in that document is a letter dated March 23, 1987 from Mr. Curtis to Mr. Bee concerning involvement in construction of this television sta~ tion, and a letter dated April 14, 1987 from Mr. Bee to Mr. Curtis agreeing to specific condi- tions concerning construction and ultimate acquisition of the Channel 7 construction permit. He noted that he will provide copies of those documents to the Commission, as well as a copy of the Conditional Use Permit application. Mr. Bee stated that, although letters of agreement between him and Mr. Curtis were filed 06-15-87 - ----- ----- ------------- - --~- 260 with the FCC, they were not acted upon. He indicated that he has no agreement or buy/sell for the station at the present time. Commissioner Stiff stated he feels the City Attorney should review this application as well as the testimony submitted during' this public hearing before the City Commission considers taking any action. He noted a number of issues have been raised that might need to be addressed. City Manager Wysocki asked what Mr. Curtis' relationship is to this project. Mr. Bee stated that Mr. Curtis is in the process of purchasing the subject property and I will be his landlord. He further noted that Mr. Curtis wi II be a minor stockholder in the company; and he will resign his position in Hardin to become a full-time active partner and manager of this station. The City Manager then asked if a buy/sell has been entered into for this property. Mr. Curtis stated he does have a buy/sell agreement for the property; and it contains a contingency for approval of this Conditional Use Permit application. He then indicated a willingness to supply a copy of that agreement to the City. Commissioner Jordan noted that when the two buildings were constructed at 1122 and 1128 East Main Street, the Commission determined that adequate off-street parking was provided. He then questioned how the Commission could now require additional parking when the Planning Staff has determined that the number of spaces provided meets the Zone Code requirements. Mr. Bee noted that he is working under a July 17 deadline and currently has $700,000 tied up on this project. He then asked that the Commission act upon this application as soon as possible. Commissioner Stiff once again expressed concern about the amount of off-street parking provided. Planner Money stated that, since this is a Conditional Use Permit application, the Commission could require additional off-street parking if they wish. Mr. Curtis expressed displeasure with this public hearing and stated verbal withdrawal of the application. City Manager Wysocki encouraged the Commission to complete its process in its routine I manner, noting that no written withdrawal has been received as of this time. Mayor Mathre closed the public hearing. A decision will be forthcoming in one week. Plannin Staff - amend Section 18.28.010 areas 0 all structures located in a - zone This was the time and place set to conduct the public hearing on the Zone Code Amendment requested by the City-County Planning Staff to amend Section 18.28.010 of the Bozeman Municipal Code to limit the gross floor areas of all structures located in a B-1, Neighborhood Business, District to 5,000 square feet. The City Manager stated that the public hearing on this application was opened and con- tinued before the Zoning Commissipn and recommended that the City Commission open and continue this public hearing until such time as the Zoning Commission submits its recommendation. Mayor Mathre opened and continued the public hearing until such time as a recommendation is received from the Zoning Commission. Executive Session - re personnel Commissioner Stiff requested that the Commission return to its executive session, as it had not been completed during the afternoon session. At 8:12 p.m., it was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the executive session of the Commission be continued for the purpose of discussing collective I bargaining strategies, and all persons except the Commissioners, City Manager Wysocki and the Clerk be requested to leave the room. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none. At 8:21 p.m., it was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the executive session of the Commission be closed and that the open meeting be reconvened.

The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none. I JUDITH A. MATHRE, Mayor ATTEST: Clerk of the Commission I I 06-15-87
