Decision - Conceptual Master Plan for future residential development of Allison Annexation -
Gene Graf
This was the time and place set for the decision on the conceptual Master Plan requested
by Gene Graf for future residential development of Allison Annexation. The Allison Annexation
is approximately 121 acres in size and is located within the City of Bozeman, just south of the
Allen-Bradley complex and just west of the Figgins Addition.
1 City Manager Wysocki stated the Commission had held a public hearing on this conceptual
Master Plan at the request of the developer, Gene Graf, III. He then recommended that the
Commission accept or acknowledge receipt of the conceptual Master Plan. He then submitted to
the Commission a memo providing clarification of some of the recommended conditions for the
conceptual Master Plan, and reviewed the proposed changes.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested the second sentence in Condition No. 2 be changed to
read, "No more lots will be developed unti I the Seventh Avenue connection to Kagy Boulevard is
resolved. II The Commission concurred that language would be more satisfactory than the proposed
language submitted in the memo.
Mayor Weaver noted the northward extension of a connector street through the Allison
Annexation to Kagy Boulevard is necessary for further development of the site. He stated he
received a telephone call from a resident of Figgins Addition, representing several residents,
expressing concern about use of Arnold Street as a primary access from Allison Annexation to
South Third Avenue.
City Manager Wysocki stated a brief review indicates Arnold Street was built as a
collector street; and it is stubbed out west of Westridge Drive. He indicated there are no
sidewalks along Arnold Street at this time. He noted a suggestion has been made that Graf
Street be used as an access, and indicated two accesses must be provided to the area ~ The
City Manager stated it is important to specify a point in the development at which an alternate
collector street is constructed to Kagy Boulevard to alleviate the traffic on Arnold Street.
Mayor Weaver asked where initial development would be located within the Allison Annexa-
1 tion.
Mr. Graf stated initial development will be along the South Seventh Avenue right-of-way,
beginning at Arnold Street and extending southward to Graf Street.
Mayor Weaver suggested a break-away barrier be placed at Arnold Street, forcing traffic
to use the Graf Street entrance until Seventh Street or an alternative collector street is con-
structed.
Mr. Graf indicated that would require additional SI D's for development, which he is try-
ing to avoid.
Commissioner Anderson expressed concern that there are no sidewalks along Arnold Street.
She then stated residents of Figgins Addition have indicated they were not aware of the public
hearing which was held at last week's meeting.
City Manager Wysocki stated the public hearing for the Zone Map Change was advertised
in the newspaper; and the appropriate notices were sent to those prope.rty owners within 150 feet
of the proposed rezoning. He also noted the public hearing for the conceptual Master Plan was
advertised in the newspaper.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated she had also received a telephone call from a resident in
the Figgins Addition. She indicated a review of available information indicates that Arnold
Street is a wide street, and was designed as a collector. She also noted when Allison Annexation
is fully developed, it wi II contain approximately 500 houses. She indicated the 80 houses to be
allowed initially will represent less than 20 percent of the total. She stated when the develop-
ment is fully completed, probably 18 to 20 percent of the residents wi II uti Iize Arnold Street as
I an ingress/egress, since it was initially developed for that purpose.
Commissioner Jordan indicated the Commission should acknowledge and consider the concerns
expressed by the residents of Figgins Addition. He noted, however, that when South Seventh
Avenue or South Eleventh Avenue is extended through Allison Annexation,
many of the residents in Figgins Addition will utilize those streets rather than South Third
Avenue.
Mayor Weaver noted the Commission is considering the guidelines for development through
the conceptual Master Plan. The Mayor then indicated if sidewalks are provided in the Allison
05-14-84
166
Annexation and a bikeway is installed along South Third Avenue, it may encourage installation of
sidewalks along Arnold Street in the Figgins Addition.
The Commissioners then discussed and revised the proposal submitted by Commissioner
Vant H~" to state "complete or underway" rather than "resolved." The Commissioners concurred
that South Seventh Avenue must be physically constructed or in the process of construction
before development of more than the initial 80 units can be undertaken.
Commissioner Jordan asked if acceptance of the conceptual Master Plan will cause any I
problems for the City-County Planning Board when they review the Preliminary Plat.
Planning Director Lere stated it will not have any effect on the Planning Board's review
of the Preliminary Plat. He noted the conceptual Master Plan provides guidelines for future
development of the area.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Com-
mission acknowledge receipt of and approve the Conceptual Master Plan presented by Gene Graf,
III, for future residential development of the Allison Annexation, subject to the following
conditions:
1. That upon the connection of South Eleventh Avenue to Kagy Boulevard,
the developer shall improve the intersection of South Third Avenue and
Graf Street. The intersection will then be made into a "T" intersection,
requiring the traffic entering the City from the south to stop.
2. That the developer be allowed to develop 80 residential units or lots. No
more lots will be developed until the South Seventh Avenue connection to
Kagy Boulevard is completed or underway.
3. That the developer enter into an agreement with the City to participate in
the construction of the water main scheduled to extend along South
Eleventh A venue. Terms of that agreement shall be determined by the
City administration.
4. That upon platting Phase I of the development, the developer shall ded-
icate all of the rights-of-way for Arnold Street, Graf Street, and South
Eleventh and South Fifteenth A venues. The right-of-way widths shall be
determined by the Director of Public Service.
5. That the area west of South Eleventh Avenue not be allowed to develop I
until South Eleventh Avenue is connected to Kagy Boulevard and the
extension of Kagy Boulevard west of South Eleventh Avenue is imminent.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Jordan,
Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.

fications to the conditions recommended by the Zoning Commission. He then reviewed the changes
and recommended the Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit, subject to the revised condi-
tions.

I Application for IDR bond issue for convention center - Felska/Solvie
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a letter of application, along with the
required $500.00 fee, for an I ndustrial Development Revenue bond issue submitted by Felska/Solvie
Developers for construction of a convention center. He indicated the /DR bond issue would pro-
bably be between $7 and $8 million; and the developers have requested that an $8 million ceiling
be established. The City Manager also noted the developers are submitting an annexation request
and questioned whether that will affect the City's consideration of an IDR bond issue.
05-14-84
168
City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith suggested that the Commission acknowledge receipt of the
request. She noted under the State Statute, the Commission has the authority to issue I DR
bonds outside city limits but recently made a policy decision to refer IDR bond requests outside
city limits to the County.
Mr. Audie Solvie, one of the developers, stated the convention center can be built on the
seven-acre tract which is currently within the city limits and is properly zoned. He stated the
adjacent four-acre parcel under consideration in the annexation request is not needed for the I
initial construction of the convention center.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the possibility of UDAG funding has been eliminated.
Mr. Solvie stated he has no problem with using UDAG funds for the project, except for
the possible extended timetable they would face. He indicated a willingness to pursue the UDAG
funding.
City Manager Wysocki recommended that the Commission acknowledge receipt of the applica-
tion submitted by Felska/Solvie Developers for issuance of up to $8 million in Industrial
Development Revenue bonds for construction of a convention center and set the public hearing
date for June 4, 1984.

sion acknowledge receipt of the application sub':1itted by Felska/Solvie Developers for issuance of

Zone Code re indoor shootin and Survival 1
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a request for interpretation of the
Zone Code submitted by Security and Survival Products.
Mr. Steve Quayle, owner of Security and Survival Products, stated he wishes to construct
a commercial shooting range, which could be utilized by the Montana Law Enforcement Academy,
Gallatin County Sheriff's Department, and Bozeman City Police Department, as well as interested
civilians. He indicated the building would be constructed at 1704 West Babcock, which is a
. g-acre parcel of land currently zoned B-2, and would contain retail sales in the front. He a I so
indicated the building would be constructed to meet OSHA standards, will be soundproof and have
high quality bullet traps.
Mr. Quayle stated the Planning Staff has reviewed the proposal and determined the use
would be recreational rather than commercial.
City Manager Wysocki submitted a memo to the Commission suggesting that the Commission
consider this request under Section 18.52, Conditional Uses, in the Bozeman Municipal Code.
City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith stated she has spoken with Mr. Quayle's attorney about
this matter. She indicated a shooting range is not a listed use in the B-2 zone. She also
stated amusement and recreational facilities are operated as businesses in many instances, and
she feels that is how this request should be considered.
The City Manager stated the Law Enforcement Academy will be shooting at the landfill site
north of Bozeman on Tuesday; and the next time the Academy will conduct a shoot will be in
October. I
Mr. Quayle stated he will begin the application for a Conditional Use Permit immediately.
He noted the present timetable provides for the beginning of construction on June 23; and the
conditional use process will delay that by one month. He also indicated the project will take
ninety days to complete; and the Law Enforcement Academy begins training in September.

the meeting. He then asked if any of the Commissioners wish to be present at the meeting also.

(4) The budget report for the period ending April 30, 1984.
(5) Mayor Weaver submitted a verbal update on a meeting conducted last week regarding
the penta contamination on the north side of Bozeman.
The Mayor stated a meeting attended by himself, City Manager Wysocki, a representative
from McFarlane Cascade/ Idaho Pole Company, County Health Officer King, County Sanitarian Nelson,
05-14-8'4
171
and a representative from the Water Quality Bureau in Helena was held last week to discuss the
penta contamination around Idaho Pole on North Wallace Avenue. He stated the penta contamina-
tion was apparently created in 1976, when a broken line was discovered in the bottom of a tank.
He then stated initial tests have shown some evidence that creosote contamination may have
occurred in the 1940's and 1950's. Also, the site was once used as a switching center and
locomotive turn-around for the railroad, and often the crank case oil, lubricants, and other
1 dredges were dumped during the turn-around process. He indicated all of those items mask the
actual problems.
Mayor Weaver stated concern was expressed about the sporadic reports which have been
received and the fact that no one has been weil informed on this matter. He indicated a
committee has been formed and will continue to serve as a clearing house for information. He
noted the City Manager will disseminate all information for the City. He also stated Idaho Pole
has submitted a set of testing procedures to be followed in determining the extent and serious-
ness of on-site and off-site contamination. He noted the wells in the immediate area will be
monitored to determine if any contamination has occurred in the water supply. He indicated a
long range water quality testing program for the area has been submitted to the Water Quality
Bureau for approval. Mayor Weaver stated he is impressed with the seriousness and the willing-
ness with which McFarlane Cascade/ Idaho Pole Company and the Water Quality Bureau have addressed
this matter.
