Discussion - proposed power line north of City along Oak Street extended
I Interim City Manager Swan presented to the Commission a report on the proposed Clyde
Park-Dillon power transmission line. She also noted the Commission has received copies of a
letter from the City-County Planning Board stating opposition to the proposed placement of the
power transmission line along Oak Street extended.
Interim Planning Director Mike Money stated this item was discussed by the Planning Board
at its regular meeting. He stated on November 21, 1983 the Planning staff received a letter from
the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation requesting that they review the proposal
01-16-84
002
and submit comments by December 1, 1983. He stated on December 7, the Planning staff submitted
a response on those items it had been able to review, and indicated that Alternatives D and D1
would have impacts on the future growth of Bozeman. The Interim Planning Director stated that
on January 11, 1984 the Planning staff received the report which has been submitted to the Com-
mission.
Mr. Money then stated that the City-County Planning Board has requested the Commission
consider sending a letter stating opposition to construction of the power transmission line along I
Oak Street extended to the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation prior to January
19, which is the date set for making a decision on the location of the line. The Interim Planning
Director then presented to the Commission a draft letter for their consideration.
Commissioner Anderson asked if any public hearings have been conducted on the proposed
location of the transmission line.
Mr. Pete Ault, representing the Baxter Lane Association, stated there are between thirty
and forty residences along Baxter Lane that would be affected by a high power transmission line.
He stated the residents in the area have indicated opposition to the location of the line along
Baxter Lane at the three public hearings that have been held on this matter. Mr. Ault stated in
1977 a two-mile corridor was selected. He then noted that of all the possible locations for the
line, Alternative D would affect the least number of people in the least number of ways.
Mr. Roger Smith, 2305 Durston Road, stated the Baxter Lane Association has been well
organized at the public hearings conducted by Montana Power and the DNRC. He then stated he
has contacted twenty-seven people who would be affected by acceptance of Alternative D; and
they wi II be represented at the meeting in Helena on January 19. Mr.. Smith then stated no soi Is
analysis or profile has been completed in the area; and a portion of it is swampy. He also noted
an all-weather road is necessary for maintenance of the line; and there is none along Alternative
D. Mr. Smith then stated the City Commission must protect the future growth of Bozeman and
feels a response should be submitted to the DNRC.
Commissioner Jordan asked what would be the proposed use of the land immediately north I
of the city. He stated if it has the potential of affecting the City, the City should submit a
recommendation after accepting public input.
Mayor Weaver noted the City has had no time to respond to the proposed route for the
power transmission line. He also noted there are different interests in the community and the
zoning area. The Mayor stated with no opportunity to receive pUblic input, he does not feel the
Commission has a basis on which to act. He then asked if the Planning Board has held any public
hearings.
Interim Planning Director Money stated the Planning Board did not have sufficient time to
conduct a public hearing. He then stated the DNRC contacted the Planning staff several months
ago requesting information concerning the environmental impact, but they did not request any
input on the various proposed routes until recently. He also stated he would like time for the
Planning Board to review the proposals and submit a recommendation to the City Commission for
review. The Interim Planning Director then stated other entities are also requesting that the
DNRC delay a decision on the alternatives for the location of the power transmission line.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Commis-
sion authorize and direct the Mayor to send a letter to the Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation requesting a delay of not more than forty-five days on the rendering of a decision
on the location of the Clyde Park-Dillon transmission line to allow the City-County Planning Board
and City Commission an opportunity to review the proposal and submit a recommenda~ion to the
DNRC. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Anderson, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Weaver; I
those voting No, none.

Mayor Weaver declared a break at 4:40 p.m., to reconvene at 4:50 p.m., in accordance
with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.
Discussion - counter-proposal for realignment of Highland Boulevard
Interim City Manager Swan presented to the Commission a draft counter-proposal which
01-16-84
J03
she had prepared from the minutes of the Commission meeting of December 27, 1983 and a summary
of the staff recommendations on the various items listed in the proposal submitted by the Bozeman
Deaconess Foundation.
The Commissioners reviewed the draft counter-proposal and suggested revisions to some
of the items as listed.
I Commissioner Vant Hull asked if replacement of City property used for the right-of-way
for the realignment of Highland Boulevard should be stipulated in the counter-proposal.
Director of Public Service (Works) Holmes stated that stipulation should be included in
Item No. 2 of the counter-proposal.
Commissioner Anderson stated she feels Item Nos. 5 and 7 are in conflict with one another.
Following a brief discussion, the Commission concurred that Item No.7 should be changed to re-
flect that the City will not waive the lOR administrative fee and that Item No. 3 should be
changed to reduce the City's portion of the SID costs by the $85,000.00 IDR administrative fee.
Mayor Weaver stated the Commission must determine if the City is willing to accept its
portion of the SID costs, based on a linear footage assessment. He also noted the Commission
must decide whether the proposed improvements to Highland Boulevard will provide a benefit to
the whole community and, if so, to what extent the City is willing to pay for those improvements.
Commissioner Mathre noted the draft counter-proposal does not recognize any general bene-
fit to the community; and she feels the street improvements wi II be a general benefit.
Commissioner Jordan stated construction of a new hospital will draw people to the commu-
nity, which will benefit the general economy in Bozeman. He noted concern that the City has
limited financial resources and indicated the Foundation may be in a better financial position.
The Commissioner then stated he feels the road improvements would benefit the City.
Commissioner Anderson noted the possible default on SID payments by any entity has been
raised but not addressed.
Interim City Manager Swan stated the State Statute addresses default in payments; and
I the City has adopted a Commission Resolution providing for acceleration of the outstanding balance.
The Commission reviewed the revised counter-proposal. Mayor Weaver noted the counter-
proposal is based on no City funds being used for the improvement of Highland Boulevard. The
Commissioners concurred that is the type of counter-proposal they wish to submit at this time
and indicated they would expect the Board of Directors of the Bozeman Deaconess Foundation to
review this counter-proposal and submit a counter-counter-proposal.
Commissioner Anderson expressed concern that no reference to the costs of relocating the
trail for jogging and cross-country skiing has been made.
Mayor Weaver suggested that Commissioner Anderson work with the Recreation Department
on this item; and the Commission will consider incorporating it into the provisions for the re-
location of Highland Boulevard during its next consideration of this item.
Mr. Ed Dahlberg, Administrator of the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, reviewed various points
of the counter-proposal to be submitted to the Bozeman Deaconess Foundation and asked questions
for clarification. He stated the Planning Board and Zoning Commission had recommended that
approval of the Master Plan Amendment and requested Zone Map Change be contingent upon approval
of adequate access to the site. He asked if that condition is still in effect. The Commission
concurred the condition is still effective. He then asked what the Commission determines as
adequate access.
Mr. Dahlberg then stated the Master Plan and Transportation Plan indicate that Highland
Boulevard is adequate to meet transportation needs until the year 2000. He then stated the re-
location of the Hospital will not create any more traffic impact on Highland Boulevard than the
I existing zoning for low- and medium-density residential development. Mr. Dahlberg then stated
he feels the completion of improvements on Kagy Boulevard will increase the traffic on Highland
Boulevard.
Commissioner Jordan noted the Board of Directors of the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital has
been working on relocation or remodeling of the existing hospital for several years. He noted
the Foundation has submitted its "dream list;" and the City has just completed preparing its
"dream list." He suggested that the Board of Directors of the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital review
the counter-proposal and submit a counter-counter-proposal to the Commission that is somewhere
in between.
01-16-84

Mr. Dahlberg then stated the Hospital has a specified amount of money for completion of
the project. He stated any expenditures over that amount are non-reimbursable expenses to the
Hospital. Mr. Dahlberg then stated any expenditures for road improvements over the amount
already budgeted will cause a decrease in monies available for other portions of the project.
Mr. Dahlberg then stated the Board of Directors of the Bozeman Deaconess Foundation is
aware of the recreational uses of the Old Elks Country Club property. He stated the Foundation
is trying to develop a site for recreational activities on a portion of their property. I
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Mathre. that the Commission
approve the following counter-proposal and forward said document to the Bozeman Deaconess Founda-
tion for their review and action:

acres.
2. The City of Bozeman will dedicate sufficient right-of-way through City-
owned property for the eventual expansion of the proposed, realigned
Highland Boulevard, from a two-lane street to a four-lane arterial. The

The Foundation will provide replacement land on an acre-for-acre basis for
the City-owned cemetery/park land which will be used for right-of-way in
the proposed realignment. The amount of replacement land will be the
difference between the right-of-way for the existing road and the right-
of-way required for the proposed realignment and expansion.
3. The Bozeman Deaconess Foundation will pay the City's share of the pro-
posed Special Improvement District, as well as the Foundation's share,

Transitional istricts
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Zone Code Amendment to
revise Chapter 18.42 of the Bozeman Municipal Code, providing for Transitional Districts.
Mayor Weaver opened the public hearing.
Interim Planning Director Mike Money stated the Planning Staff is preparing revisions to
the overlay districts, including the transitional districts and the urban overlay district. He
stated the Planning Staff has prepared this Zone Code Amendment; and the Zoning Commission
has indicated it would like to consider the transitional districts as a part of the overlay districts
rather than separately. The Interim Planning Director then stated the Zoning Commission continued
the public hearing on this item and recommended that the City Commission also continue the public
hearing until the Zoning Commission submits a recommendation. He indicated the length of time
on this Zone Code Amendment will probably be extended, so the Planning Staff will re-advertise
this item before it is placed back on the Zoning Commission and City Commission agendas.
Mayor Weaver continued the public hearing until such time as a recommendation is received
from the Zoning Commission.
Public hearing - Zone Code Amendment - amend Ordinance No. 1128 to provide that five feet of
required thirty-five foot setback from streams be left in natural vegetative state
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Zone Code Amendment to
amend Ordinance No. 1128, to provide that five feet of the required thirty-five foot setback from
stream banks be left in a natural vegetative state. I
Mayor Weaver opened the public hearing.
Interim Planning Director Mike Money presented the Staff Report. He stated the Zoning
Commission considered this Zone Code Amendment and recommended approval. The Interim Planning
Director stated this requested Zone Code Amendment is the result of enforcement problems on
Ordinance No. 1128, which requires a thirty-five foot setback from stream banks. He indicated
that setback has helped curtai I construction activity along the stream banks, but the fisheries
experts have indicated that the fish need natural vegetation to remain in the streams within the
city limits.
Commissioner Mathre asked how this Zone Code Amendment will affect residential areas
which have been developed along the stream banks.
The Interim Planning Director stated this Zone Code Amendment will not affect any resi-
dential development which is in progress or completed. He then stated the Planning Staff does
not advocate that the five-foot strip be a noxious weed area, but that natural grasses and
bushes, such as junipers and rose bushes, be encouraged in that strip.
Commissioner Jordan stated he feels a one-page educational brochure would be helpful to
those residents along the stream banks. Mr. Money stated a class at the University has expressed
interest in developing a public education brochure that would address guidelines in several
areas, such as stream banks, parking lots and front yard requirements.
Mr. Jerry Wells, Regional Fisheries Manager, stated he supports the proposed Zone Code
Amendment. He stated the thirty-five foot setback requirement has helped, but he feels the
five-foot natural vegetative strip will help to maintain a good wild trout population in the stream I
within the city limits.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the proposed Zone Code Amendment.
Mayor Weaver closed the public hearing. A decision will be forthcoming in one week.
Discussion - removal of State Highway designation from Main Street; designation of alternate
truck route
I nterim City Manager Swan stated the Commission had reviewed this letter and requested
that the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association be contacted for their input.
01-16-84
JOT
She stated these two organizations have been contacted and requested to submit answers by
January 9, 1984. As of this date, no information has been received.
Mayor Weaver noted the Commission's original concern was having interstate trucks use
Main Street rather than going around the city. He stated if an alternate truck route were desig-
nated, the trucks would use it rather than Main Street.
I Assistant City Manager Barrick stated designation of an alternate truck route would not
eliminate trucks on Main Street but would provide them with a suggested route on which to travel.
The Commission then concurred that the Technical Advisory Committee should review the
possible designation of a truck route and submit a recommendation to the City Commission.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the
Commission submit a request to the Technical Advisory Committee that the designation of an alter-
nate truck route around Bozeman be placed on their agenda and that a recommendation be submitted
to the City Commission. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting

on the agenda.
Commissioner Anderson indicated that she has been in touch with people in Helena and
Washington, D. C., to obtain materials helpfUl to addressing concerns about transportation of
hazardous wastes through Bozeman. The Commissioner stated she feels three separate issues are
involved in this item: (1) transportation of hazardous and toxic wastes through the community,
including flammable materials, and identification of chemicals of concern; (2) oils from motor
vehicles not being barrelled for disposal; and (3) dumping of hazardous and toxic wastes at the
landfill . Commissioner Anderson then stated a willingness to work with City Attorney Crumbaker-
Smith in preparing a proposed ordinance after she has received desired materials.
Discussion - goal setting process
Commissioner Mathre stated she had prepared a draft outline schedule which covers a six-
week period. She suggested that the Commission review this outline and that this item be placed
on next week's agenda for discussion. She also stated she would draft a letter to the civic
groups, to be placed in Friday's packet for review and discussion at next week's meeting also.

Interim City Manager Swan presented to the Commission a memo on the renewal of the Re-
purchase Agreement for the period January 18, 1984 through January 18, 1985. She stated she
