I Discussion - FY I Items
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following "For Your Information"
items.
(1 ) An update from the Foundation Capital Corporation on the status of their project
at the old hospital site.

The City Manager indicated it is not located within a designated district; and he does not know
if an application has been submitted for the subject site.

(2) Commissioner Martel stated that, as a result of the recently detected water line
leak, he feels a discussion of leak detecting methods should be placed on the agenda. He noted
recent figures indicate that the City's system incurs a 40 percent loss, while 10 to 20 percent is
average.
The City Manager concurred that this item should be discussed. He then noted that one
of the items listed in the upcoming capital improvement requests is a leak detection device; how-
ever, staffing levels also become a problem. I
Mayor Mathre asked if the 40 percent loss figure can be verified.
City Manager Wysocki indicated that several items must be taken into consideration when
determining the amount of water lost; therefore, he is unsure of the figure's accuracy. He fur-
ther indicated that the staff is not sure how much of the 150 gallons per minute being pumped
from the leak on South Willson Avenue was from the City's water line and how much was from a
natural spring in that area; however, the newspaper article was written in a manner which would
create less confusion for the public.
(3) Commissioner Stiff noted that in the latest issue of the Nation's Cities Weekly there
is an advertisement by Merrill Lynch concerning repurchase yields. He then asked if the Admin-
istrative Services Di rector has contacted the firm to see if a more advantageous yield could be
obtained through this firm rather than through the local banks.
The City Manager stated that he will ask the Administrative Services Director to check
into the matter.
(4) Mayor Mathre indicated that she has received a memo from Senator Max Baucus con-
cerning the effects of recent litigation on the selection of a site for the U. S. West Technologies
Center. She noted that she will make copies of that memo and place them in the Commissioners'
mailboxes.

uled public hearings.
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Master Plan Amendment re- I
quested by George Westlake to change the land use designation from medium-density residential
to general highway commercial on the western portion of Block 2 of Westlake's Fourth Subdi-
vision. The subject 6. 131-acre tract is more commonly located along the north side of West

Mayor Mathre opened and continued the public hearing indefinitely per the applicant's re-
quest.
I This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit re-
quested by Darold and Penny Wolff for Marcia S. Anderson to allow construction of a residence
within an existing retail/wholesale business located on Lot 1, Block 1, of the Bridger Center
Subdivision to the City of Bozeman, Montana. This site is more commonly known as 115 Commer-
cial Drive and is located in an "M-l- T -4," Commercial--Light Industrial, with a Transitional
Overlay, District.
Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing.
Acting Planning Director Ron Brey presented the Staff Report. He indicated that
through the requested Conditional Use Permit, the applicant would block off a portion of the
existing building and construct an owner /caretaker's living quarters. He noted that a care-
taker's residence is allowed as a conditional use in the M-l zone. The Acting Planning Director
stated that, since the proposed living area would not increase the size of the structure, no ad-
ditional parking spaces would be required.
Acting Planning Director Brey stated that no direct outside access has been shown in the
plans for the living area; however, the staff feels that such an access should be provided. He
then indicated that with the "T" designation on the subject site, additional items of consideration
are buffering for the AS zoned property lying to the north and review of any proposed signage.
The Acting Planning Director stated that the Zoning Commission conducted its public hear-
ing on this application, after which it concurred in the Planning staff's recommendation for ap-
proval, subject to eight conditions.
Mrs. Penny Wolff, applicant, stated she agrees with the conditions except for Condition
I No.1. She noted that the back of the subject property is a swampland; and there is only an
alfalfa field on the other side of the property line. She then questioned the need to install a
privacy fence along that property line.
Acting Planning Director Ron Brey stated that the Zone Code requires that adequate buf-
fering must be provided along a property line which lies between an M-1 or M-2 zone and
another zone. He indicated that the property lying to the north is zoned A-S; therefore, th is
requirement must be met unless the applicants wish to apply for a variance from the Board of
Adjustment. He then reminded the Commissioners that the condition requires vegetation or a pri-
vacy fence; and much of the property line area currently has natural vegetation along it. The
Acting Planning Drr-ector- indicated that the Planning staff is willing to discuss this condition with
the applicants after the Commission has taken action on this application.
Commissioner Stiff asked if this site is immediately adjacent to the site upon which a golf
course has been proposed.
Community Development/Zoning Specialist Dave Skelton stated one tract of land lies be-
tween the two parcels.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the requested Conditional Use Permit.
Mayor Mathre closed the public hearing.

It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, 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 Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner
Martel and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none.
I It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that the Commis-
sion approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by Darold and Penny Wolff for Marcia S.
Anderson to allow the construction of living quarters in the existing retail/wholesale business
located on Lot 1, Block 1, Bridger Center Subdivision, subject to the following conditions, as

Building Department, one signed copy shall be retained by the Planning Di-
rector, and one signed copy shall be retained by the applicant;
7. The Conditional Use Permit shall be valid for a period of only 18 months
following approval of the use. Prior to the permanent renewal of the permit
at the end of that period, the applicant must satisfy all the conditions in

port made to the City Commission for their action. If all required condi-
tions have been satisfied, the permit will be permanently renewed; and
8. The developer enter into an Improvements Agreement with the City of Boze-
man. If occupancy of the residence is to occur prior to installation of the

one-half times the amount of the cost of the scheduled improvements and
their installation. Detailed cost estimates, construction plans, and methods
of security shall be made a part of that Agreement.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Stiff, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none.

This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit re-
quested by Martinis Cafe for Doug Alexander to allow the sale of beer and wine as an accessory I
use to a restaurant. The subject site is the eastern portion of Lot 11, all of Lots 12 through
16, and vacated portions of East Main Street and Switzler Avenue of Block 24 of the Northern
Pacific Addition, and is more commonly known as 1211 East Main Street. The property is zoned
"B-2," Community Highway Business, District.
Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing.
Assistant Planner Bill Murdock presented the Staff Report. He indicated that the owners
of the restaurant have applied for this Conditional Use Permit to allow them to serve beer and
wine as an accessory use to their restaurant. He noted that the property to the north is zoned
B-2 also; however, a mobile home court and caretaker's home are located on that property. He
stated the two sites are currently separated by a four-foot high chain link fence and trees. He
indicated that parking is currently located along the west property line; and an eight-foot set-
back is required in the B-2 zone. He further noted, however, that even if all of those parking
spaces are eliminated, the restaurant still meets its parking requirements.
The Assistant Planner stated that several concerns weTe raised during the Zoning Com-
missionls hearing on this application. He indicated that following the public hearing, the Zoning
Commission did concur in the Planning staff's recommendation for approval, subject to ten condi-
tions.
The applicant was not present to address this item.
No one was present to speak in support of or in opposition to the requested Conditional
Use Permit.

Public hearing - Conditional Use Permit - David Osterman - allow expansion of an existing mini-
warehouse complex on I ract 1, Mays Tracts, and I racts 40-A and 41-A, Northeast AnnexatIon
(1915 North Rouse Avenue)
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit re-
quested by David Osterman to allow the expansion of a mini-warehouse development located on
Tract 1, Mays Tracts, and Tracts 40-A and 41-A of the Northeast Annexation. This site is more
commonly known as 1915 North Rouse Avenue, and is located in an "M-1- T -4," Commercial--Light
Industrial with a Transitional Overlay, District.
Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing.
Community Development/ Zoning Specialist Dave Skelton presented the Staff Report. He
stated that under this application, Mr. Osterman would add three more phases of mini-ware-
houses to those currently existing on a 5. 03-acre tract. He noted that mini-warehouses are al-
lowed in an M-l zone; however the "T" designation on this property requires that the conditional
use process be followed. He indicated that access to the site would be from North Rouse
I Avenue, with an easement to be provided to Griffin Drive for future development of this site.
Planner Skelton stated that in 1983, the applicant received a conditional use permit to con-
struct the existing phases; and in 1985 the permit was revised to allow for a different lay-out of
those phases. He stated that under the requested conditional use permit, Phase I would be com-
pleted in 1988; Phase" would be completed in 1989; and Phase III would be completed in 1990.
The Planner stated that this application is in general compliance with the criteria for
review of conditional uses. He noted, however, that the Fire Marshall has requested that an
adequate turning radius be provided for fire equipment and that a fire hydrant be installed on
the site.

Planner Skelton stated that the Zoning Commission conducted its public hearing on this
application, after which it concurred in the staff's recommendation for approval, subject to nine
conditions.
Mr. David Osterman, applicant, stated he agrees with the conditions except for Condition
No.5. He stated he is opposed to signing a waiver of protest for the creation of Special Im-
provement Districts for Griffin Drive and North Rouse Avenue. He noted that he owns approxi-
mately ten acres in that area; and based on the 98-cents per square foot which he was assessed I
on a recent special improvement district in another location, that would cost him about $250,000.
City Manager Wysocki asked Mr. Osterman how many units currently exist and how many
this application would add.
Mr. Osterman stated there are approximately 300 mini-warehouse units completed at this
time; and this application would add approximately 100 units.
Commissioner Stiff questioned whether the entire ten-acre parcel would be involved in a
special improvement district and whether it would be assessed on a square footage basis.
Planner Skelton reminded the Commission that a special improvement district may be as-
sessed on a square footage basis, a I inear footage basis, or a combination thereof. He then
noted that the boundaries for the district would determine whether the entire ten-acre parcel
would be involved in the assessment. The Planner then stated that North Rouse Avenue is on
the federal aid listing; and if the State initiates the improvement of that street, federal monies
will be utilized. He noted in that instance, the SID for North Rouse Avenue would be for
water, sewer and sidewalks.
Commissioner Stiff asked if the requirement for a waiver of protest would be after the
fact if it is applied to that portion of the property which has already been developed.
City Manager Wysocki stated that the boundaries of the district would determine whether
that portion of the property would be involved. He then reminded the Commissioner that devel-
opment of the property does impact City services.
Commissioner Martel questioned why Condition No. 9 requires that the final phase be com-
pleted within 52 months after issuance of the conditional use permit, rather than allowing eigh- I
teen months for completion of that phase also.
Planner Skelton indicated that is a typographical error and should be changed to read 54
months.
Commissioner Martel noted that, since the site has been developed with mini-warehouses,
it should have little impact on water and sewer services.
Mayor Mathre noted that the Commission has recently approved several applications for
development along Griffin Drive which have contained a condition requiring that the applicant
sign a waiver of protest for future improvement of that street.
Commissioner Martel noted that before a special improvement district can be created, a
majority of the property owners involved must support it or have signed a waiver of protest;
and the City Manager stated that is correct.
Mayor Mathre closed the public hearing. A decision will be forthcoming in one week.
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit re-
quested by Rick Blevins for Kurland-Blevins Properties to develop a minor planned unit devel-
opment in an IR-3" (residential-medium density) district located on portions of Lots 4, 6, and 7,
Block 7, of the Babcock and Davis Addition. This site is more commonly known as 620 East
Peach Street. I
Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing.
Community Development/ Zoning Specialist Dave Skelton presented the Staff Report. He
noted that under this application, two existing single-family residences would be moved to a site
upon which one single-family residence currently exists. He indicated that the Zone Code re-
quires that such developments must go through the minor planned unit development; and the Zon-
ing Commission has exercised its requirement that the public hearing process be utilized.
The Planner stated that the two houses being relocated to the subject site were previ-
ously located on West Mendenhall Street and have been moved to accommodate additional parking
10-05-87
42~
for the Cou rthouse. He stated that the current Zone Code does not allow for the relocation of
existing structures within the city limits, causing this application to be before the Commission.
The Planner then stated that the site located at 620 East Peach Street contains 0.39 acres; and
could have 5.7 units located on it rather than the requested three units.
Planner Skelton stated that the Zoning Commission conducted its public hearing on this
application, reviewing the criteria for conditional use permits. He noted that the major question
I is whether the Zone Code should have allowed the relocation of existing structures into an R-3
zone or if it was merely an oversight. He noted that the Zoning Commission concurred that relo-
cation of existing houses into an R-3 zone should be allowed; and the staff is currently proc-
essing a zone code amendment to address that matter. The Planner stated that following the
public hearing, the Zoning Commission recommended approval of the application, subject to ten
conditions; and to date the applicant has met the first seven conditions.
Mr. Mike Money, 105 Teton, representing the Kurland-Blevins Properties, stated the appli-
cants are willing to meet all of the conditions as recommended by the Planning staff and the
Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Martel asked if the houses being relocated have any code violations.
Mr. Money stated that before the buildings can be occupied on the new site, they must
meet all of the code requirements. He noted that the applicants are currently working with the
Building Official to ensure that the codes are met.
