Continued discussion - request for fire protection outside of Cit - Bob Boie, Montana Con-
tainer orporatlOn
City Manager Evans stated that the City Staff has researched the City records, and he
I has spoken with a representative of the American Simmental organization. The Staff has found
no records to indicate that the City has formally extended fire protection beyond the city
limits, except to the Story Mill Fire District. The City Manager recommended that in the
future the Commission deny the extension of fire services beyond the city limits, except to
organized fire districts with which the City has a contract. He noted that the City does not
have the resources to extend fire services; and the City could incur liabilities in the event of
a fire occurring within the city limits while the fire equipment and personnel are outside the
city limits to fight another fire. The City Manager also requested authorization to prepare a
resolution that would limit fire service to areas within the city limits and within organized fire
districts that have contracted with the City.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver noted that everyone with property outside the city limits
should be aware that the City will not provide fire protection.
City Manager Evans stated that the City Staff can write letters to those who have
signed Waivers of Protest of Annexation and Utility Tie-on Agreements if necessary.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission deny the request submitted by Mr. Robert N. Boie on behalf of Montana Container
Corporation for the extension of City fire protection to a site located in Gardner Simmental
Plaza, between the American Simmental Building and the United Parcel Service building, be-
cause of the possible liability that the City might incur if unable to meet its obligations for
fire protection within the city limits. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote:
those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull
I and Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver; those voting No, none.
It was then moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that
the Commission authorize and direct the City Staff to draft a Commission Resolution es-
tablishing a policy concerning the provision of fire services outside the city limits. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre,
Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver; those voting
No, none.

Request for permission - Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, Pi Beta Phi Sorority - block off 1300
block of South Fifth Avenue for block party - April 28, 1983, 4:00 to 8:30 p.m.
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request on behalf of Pi Kappa Alpha
Fraternity and Pi Beta Phi Sorority for permission to block off the 1300 block of South Fifth
Avenue for a block party to be held April 28, 1983, from 4:00 to 8:30 p.m. He noted that
Chief of Police Tate has indicated he has no problem with this request if the "no liquor" I
policy is enforced.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver stated this block party is part of the "RUSH" activity at
the University. He further noted that it is University policy not to allow alcoholic beverages
at rush activities due to the fact that many of those involved are minors. He suggested,
however, that the Commission consider a condition in the motion that would prohibit alcoholic
beverages.
City Manager Evans noted that loud speakers and loud music should also be prohibited
since the neighborhood is basically residential.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Commission approve the request for permission for Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and Pi Beta
Phi Sorority to block off the 1300 block of South fifth Avenue for a block party to be held
on April 28, 1983, from 4:00 to 8:30 p.m.. subject to the following conditions: ( 1) that no
alcoholic beverages be allowed; and (2) that use of amplified sound systems be prohibited.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Commissioner Mathre; those voting No, none. Mayor
Pro Tempore Weaver abstained due to his position on the faculty at Montana State University.
Request for extension of Conditional Use Permit - First Security Bank - to allow an automatic
teller machine at the corner of South Eleventh Avenue and West College Street
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request for a one-year extension of
a Conditional Use Permit on behalf of First Security Bank to allow an automatic teller machine I
on Lots 15-21, Block 52, of the West Park Addition, more commonly located at 1021 West College
Street. City Manager Evans noted that this site is located at the corner of West College
Street and South Eleventh Avenue. The City Manager further noted that the Commission approved
the Conditional Use Permit at its regular meeting on October 25, 1982, subject to nine
conditions.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the Commission include in the extension a state-
ment that "any unapproved use of the remaining portion of this lot shall make the Conditional
Use Permit null and void" since the building that existed when the Conditional Use Permit was
granted has since been demolished.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver stated concern about the possible addition of a condition on
the conditions for the Conditional Use Permit that has not gone through the public hearing
process or received input from the applicant.
Acting City Attorney Planalp stated that in the past, the Commission has considered
the request for extension of a Conditional Use Permit as an opportunity to review the condi-
tions attached to see if they are still applicable. The Acting City Attorney stated that Com-
missioner Vant Hul11s suggestion can be considered since the status of the site has changed
during the past six months.
City-County Planning Director John Moss stated that the statement can be considered
as a reminder to the applicant that specific conditions must be met. He noted that this may
help to avoid possible misunderstandings in the future.
Commissioner Mathre noted that the requested extension is for a one-year period. She I
stated that some extensions have a time limit and/or a limit on the number of times an ex-
tension can be granted under the Zoning Code.
Planning Director Moss stated that the regulations provide for a six-month extension
on Conditional Use Permits.
City Manager Evans then recommended that the Commission approve a six-month extension
of the Conditional Use Permit, subject to the original nine conditions and incorporating the
statement proposed by Commissioner Vant Hull.

I t was moved by Comm iss ioner Anderson, seconded by Comm iss ioner Math re, that the
Commission approve a six-month extension of the Conditional Use Permit for First Security
Bank, to allow an automatic teller machine at 1021 West College Street, and that the applicant
be reminded that "any unapproved use of the remaining portion of this lot shall make the

I those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull

Appl ication for Gambl in License - Rose's Cantina Card Loun e- two card tables - throu h
June 30, 1983; and request for refund 0 a portion 0 the license ee
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission an application for a Gambling License,
along with the required fee, on behalf of Rose's Cantina Card Lounge for two card tables for
the period ending June 30, 1983. He noted that Mr. Doug Hagfeldt has also requested that a
portion of the license fee be refunded since the license covers a period of less than six
months.
Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that the Business License Ordinance provides
for a one-half year Business License if a new business is started after June 30 of any year.
\
However, Gambling Licenses are for the period July 1 through June 30 of the following year,
thus eliminating provision for a one-half year Gambling License. The State Statute requires
that all licenses be prorated. but does not specify in what segments those proratings should
occur. The Assistant City Manager then recommended that the Commission authorize prorating
the license fee on a one-half year basis, to remain consistent with the provisions of the
Business License Ordinance. He further recommended that the Commission consider revision
of the Business License Ordinance after the public he~ring on the number of electronic
gaming devices to be allowed per establishment at the meeting on May 2, 1983.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
I Commission approve the application for a Gambling License on behalf of Rose's Cantina Card
Lounge for two cards tables for the period ending June 30, 1983; and that the City Staff be
authorized and directed to refund one-half of the license fee in compliance with State Law.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver; those
voting No, none.
Appointment - Judicial Coordinating Committee
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver requested that this item be deferred for a period of one
week, due to the fact that Mr. John Scully and Mayor Stiff are out of town.
Proposal for Centennial Park - Proposed Centennial Park Committee
City Manager Evans stated that the Proposed Centennial Park Committee has requested
an opportunity to submit to the Commission a proposal for the Centennial Park, to be located
on the parkland from which the old American Legion housing was recently removed. This
property is bordered by North Tracy Avenue, North Grand Avenue, West Cottonwood Street
and West Tamarack Street.
Mr. Robert Lashaway, an architect who resides on the north side, presented to the
Commission the Committee's concept for the park. He noted that the proposal includes an
active area on the west side and a passive area on the east side of the park. He noted that
the plan would require minimal contouring, mostly where the housing was removed, and the
I installation of a sprinkling system, and would include saving as many of the existing trees as
possible. Mr. Lashaway then presented to the Commission an estimate of the costs involved
in developing the park in the proposed manner. The $59,500.00 estimate includes the costs
of the materials and labor for installation of the improvements. These costs could be reduced
through donations of materials and volunteer labor. Mr. Lashaway stated that the Committee
has presented its proposal to the Recreation Board and the Centennial Committee, and both
bodies have given their approval. He further stated that the proposal has been submitted to
the Community Development Block Grant Committee because a prior CDBG program had included
04-'8~83
.

$10,000.00 for development of a park at that location. However, the American Legion housing
was not removed in time to use those funds, so they were diverted to other projects. Mr.
Lashaway then requested that the Commission approve the proposed concept for the Centen-
nial Park and appropriate $59,500.00 for funding of the project.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver asked Mr. Lashaway when they would like to begin working
on the park. He also asked if the Proposed Centennial Park Committee has considered the I
possibility of improving the park in phases.
Mr. Lashaway stated that it would be best if work on the park could begin sometime
between May 15 and June 15. He noted that this would allow the trees as much time as possi-
ble to become establ ished prior to the winter season. Mr. Lashaway then stated that the
major items to be completed this summer are regrading of the area, installation of the
underground sprinkler system, seeding or sodding the park and planting the trees. He then
stated that the people in the neighborhood have not organized a labor force to work on the
park; and they have no funds available to contribute toward the park.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver noted that a softball field is located in the northeast por-
tion of the parkland. He further noted that the softball field is being used as a part of the
softball program and asked if the Proposed Centennial Park Committee intends to incorporate
that area into the park.
Mr. Lashaway stated that the area where the softball fields are located should be left
open for a play area. He further noted that a softball field for organized league play and a
park are not compatible uses; and the softball field should be eliminated. However, he rea-
lizes that the softball field cannot be quickly phased out due to the need for such facilities in
the area.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that a large portion of the proposed expenditures is for
the purchase of trees, at a cost of $275.00 per tree. She suggested that smaller trees be
installed.
Mr. Bill Gibson, 803 North Grand Avenue, stated that the softball fields create a I
problem in the area. He stated that garbage is strewn in his yard and cars park on his lawn
during softball games. Also, loud music is often played during and after the games. Often
sanitary facilities are not provided at the site, and people use lawns in the area for their
needs. Mr. Gibson feels that sanitary facilities should be provided in areas where organized
sports are being conducted.
Mr. Roger Stokes, 619 North Willson Avenue, stated that restrooms should be provided
in all parks. He indicated that perhaps restroom facilities should be incorporated into the
plans submitted by the Proposed Centennial Park Committee.
Mr. Byron Erickson, Director of the Green Thumb program, stated that the program
hires workers over 55 years of age with limited incomes. Under the program, they cannot
perform work that would eliminate a position for someone else; and they avoid areas in which
unions are working. Mr. Erickson stated that the program is federally funded under the Title
V program. He then indicated that he would be able to provide three to five people for
twenty hours per week to help prepare the park for improvement. However, they do not perform
maintenance tasks once a project is completed. Mr. Erickson also stated that someone from
the City would have to train and supervise the Green Thumb employees during their work on
the Centennial Park.
Mr. Wayne Gorski, 624 North Willson Avenue, noted that there is approximately
$70,000.00 in the City's Parkland Trust Fund, to be used for the purchase or improvement of
park areas. He feels that these funds could be utilized for the improvement of the Centennial
Park. Mr. Gorski further stated that when the softball fields are in use, quite often the I
balls are hit far enough that people in the park area would need to be careful.
Ms. Joanne Jennings, Chairperson of the Recreation Board, stated that the Recreation
Board supports the improvement of the Centennial Park. She further noted that the Recreation
Board would like to phase out the use of the North Grand ball fields for league play. How-
ever, there are a large number of softball teams this year, and the ball fields are needed.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver stated concern about the lack of sanitary facilities at the
North Grand ball fields.
04-18-83
Ul~
Mr. Mike Aune, Recreation Director, stated that the Gallatin Valley Softball Association
must provide porta potties at the North Grand ball fields for this season and must consider
the traffic in this residential neighborhood. The Association has been requested to disperse
from the site after the games have been completed. Policing will be handled by the Police
Division; and anyone in violation of the open container ordinance wi II be cited.
Mr. Aune noted that the Gallatin Valley Sports Committee has just been formed. Their
I first priority is the construction of a multi-purpose facility. Mr. Aune noted that there is a
large demand for recreation facilities in this area. He does recognize that a neighborhood
park is not the ideal location for a softball field.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if this might be the last year for using the North Grand
ball fields.
Mr. Aune stated that one facility cannot be eliminated until another facility has been
provided. He then noted that a master plan for parks and recreation facilities should be
completed. He stated that this process will probably require quite a bit of time and effort to
complete.
City Manager Evans recommended that the Commission refer the request for funding of
the park improvements to the staff for a recommendation. He indicated that the staff is now
working with proposed capital improvements; and improvement of a park must compete with
other proposed projects. He further recommended that some of the Commissioners become in-
volved in the master plan for parks and recreation facilities. He stated concern about boards
comprised of people living outside the city limits determining the use of City assets.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Commission approve the concept for the Centennial Park as submitted by the Proposed
Centennial Park Committee. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver; those voting No, none.
I It was then moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that
the Commission direct the staff to complete a funding analysis of the project as soon as
possible and submit a recommendation to the Commission for consideration. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson,
Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver; those voting
No, none.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver then requested that Commissioner Anderson be the Commission-
er I iaison on the master plan for parks and recreation projects.
Break - 5:15 to 5:20 p.m.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver declared a five-minute break at 5:15 p.m. to reconvene at
5:20 p.m., in accordance with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March
14, 1983.
Update on Community Development Block Grant Application - Planning Staff
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a memorandum from Planning Director
Moss indicating the cost of preparing the CDBG appl ication for last year.
Assistant Planner Mike Money presented to the Commission a memorandum summarizing
the activities of the CDBG Committee to date. He stated that the Committee has reviewed the
needs assessment that was prepared last year, and they feel that the information is up to
date. The Planning Staff placed an advertisement in the newspaper to solicit suggestions
I from the public. The Proposed Centennial Park Committee submitted their proposal at the
second CDBG Committee meeting; and that was the only proposal received. The Assistant
Planner stated that the Centennial Park was submitted because it had been included in prior
CDBG funding and because it lies in, the northeast sector of the city. The CDBG Committee
considered the possible projects and suggested that housing be the Number One priority for
the 1983 appl ication. The Committee also noted the decrease in available low- and moderate-
income housing since last year.
04-18-83
UlG
Assistant Planner Money noted that CDBG funds can be used for site acquisition and
preparation for construction of housing or can be used for rehabilitation of existing housing.
He also noted that the ceiling for the grant monies is $400,000.00.
Commissioner Anderson noted that this year's application will be more complicated than
last year's and noted that the staff needs as much time as possible to prepare the application.
Discussion of FY I items for agenda I
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver requested that discussion of FYI items for the agenda be
deferred for a period of one week.
Request to establish the Special Historic Survey Fund
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request from Director of Finance
Swan to establish the Special Historic Survey Fund. The City Manager noted that the Commis-
sion must grant permission for the establishment of funds under the State Statutes and rec-
ommended that the Commission approve the request.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission authorize and direct the Director of Finance to establish the Special Historic Sur-
vey Fund. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Pro Tempore
Weaver; those voti ng No, none.
Special Assessment settlement with Milwaukee Railroad
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a proposed Special Assessment settle-
ment with the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Company. He noted that this
settlement offer is for 90 cents on the dollar. The offer is to pay $2,810.65 on Special Im-
provement District No. 613, for paving on North Broadway Avenue. The actual bill was
$3,122.94, so the City will absorb a $312.29 loss. The City Manager noted that the I
$19,554.00 assessment is disputed; and the agreement has excluded that amount. City Manager
Evans recommended that the Commission authorize either the Acting City Attorney or the City
Manager to sign the settlement offer.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Commission authorize the City Manager to sign the Special Assessment settlement agree-
ment with the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Company, in the amount of
$2,810.65. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Pro Tempore
Weaver; those voting No, none.
Pledged Securiti'es as of March 31, 1983

Mathre and Commissioner Weaver had examined the receipts of Depository Bonds and Securities
held by the Director of Finance as security for City funds deposited in Bozeman banks. The
Depository Bonds and Securities were found to be in order.

Legislative Update
City Manager Evans stated that the gas tax bill, which will levy a 1 t-cent-per-gallon
tax on gasoline for local governments, was approved by the House of Representatives, during
the third and final reading of the bill. The revenues from this source are earmarked monies
I and can be used only for the maintenance or construction of streets. The City Manager further
stated that the bill for local option taxes was defeated on Wednesday; and the Governor's
Block Grant proposal was reduced from the proposed $6 million to $3 million. He then noted
that a portion of the funding for the Governor's Block Grant comes from Oil Severance Tax
Funds; and if the price of oil decreases, there may not be sufficient monies to fund the
replacement for motor vehicle license fees.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the Governor's Block Grant proposal was passed by
the House in the original amount of $6 mi llion. The Senate approved the proposal, but
red uced the fu nd i ng to $3 million. The Governor's Block Grant will now be reviewed by a
Conference Committee, comprised of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate,
to determine the amount to be funded.
Commissioner Anderson noted that there is considerable concern in the Legislature
about the potential shortfall in funding during the upcoming biennium.

Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver declared a recess at 6:10 p.m., to reconvene at 7:00 p.m.
for the purpose of conducting the scheduled public hearing.
Reconvene - 7:05 p.m.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver reconvened the Commission meeting at 7:05 p.m. for the
purpose of conducting the scheduled public hearing.
Public hearing - Zone Map Change - RS-1 to R-2 - tract of land in the SEt of Section 24,
T2S, RSE, MPM (approximately 32 acres between South Third ana Wagon Wheel Road, across
Trom -Figgins Addition)
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Zone Map Change from
RS-1 to R-2 as requested by Clair Daines and Carter Williams for that parcel of land located
in the SEt of Section 24, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian. The
approximately 32-acre site is designated as being on the southwest corner of South Third
Avenue and Wagon Wheel Road, across from Figgins Addition.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver opened the public hearing.
Assistant Planner Steve Lere presented the Staff report. He stated that the current
RS-1 zoning is not consistent with the Master Plan, but the proposed R-2 zoning would be I
consistent with the Master Plan. He also noted that the demand for R-2 zoned lots appears to
be greater than the supply. Mr. Lere stated that the requested Zone Map Change could have
a negative impact on the water supply and on the traffic generated on Wagon Wheel Road and
South Third Avenue. The Assistant Planner stated that a petition containing 134 signatures
stating opposition to the requested Zone Map Change was presented to the Zoning Commission.
A copy of that petition has been forwarded to the City Commission. Also, two letters of
opposition were received by the Zoning Commission. Assistant Planner Lere then stated that
the Zoning Commission recommended denial of this application.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if RS-1 zoning with septic tanks and wells would create
any sanitary problems in the area. She also noted that residents of the area were not antici-
pating the requested density and asked if they should have been aware of the possible change.
Assistant Planner Steve Lere stated that he foresees no problems created by wells and
septic tanks in the area if the zoning remains as it is currently. He then noted that the 1972
Master Plan has listed the subject area as medium- or low-density residential.
Commissioner Anderson asked what would be the difference between the number of allow-
able dwelling units in an R-1 and an R-2 zoning on this parcel of land.
Assistant Planner Lere stated that 150 units could be constructed in an R-2 Planned
Unit Development and 115 units in an R-1 Planned Unit Development.
Commissioner Anderson asked if the impact on the water supply could be serious.
The Assistant Planner stated that in a dry year, the City does not have sufficient
water rights at the present time. He then suggested that the Commission defer action on this I
Zone Map Change unti I the request for annexation has been considered.
Mr. Clair Daines, 104 Heritage Drive, stated that he has submitted an application for a
Zone Map Change because he believes it is the proper zoning for the area. He stated that he
has filed an application to rezone the subject site from RS-1 to R-1 due to the public protest
received at the Zoning Commission. He noted that a rezoning takes approximately two and
one-half months, and he wishes to have a final decision as soon as possible.

U21
Ms. Linda Brock, Architect for the project, residing at 2525 Landoe Avenue, presented
to the Commission the proposed plat for the Planned Unit Development to be placed on this
site. She noted that the plan contains 89 lots, and the development would be unique because
90 percent of the lots would provide direct solar access and because the individual units
would have architectural design control.
I Commissioner Mathre noted that the Commission must consider the Zone Map Change
request on its own merits, rather than a specific design for a specific development on that
site.
Commissioner Anderson asked how much the design would need to be revised to fit an
R-1 Zone rather than an R-2 Zone.
Ms. Brock stated that no changes would need to be made. She stated that the density
shown in the plan would meet the requirements of the R-1 Zone.
Mr. Carter Williams, current owner of the property, residing in Great Falls, stated
that he has owned this parcel of land for the past seventeen years. He stated that previous
plats for this site have shown commercial development on the north side of the parcel and
multi-family dwellings on the south side of the parcel. He also noted that it is not in the
best interests of the city to have one-acre tracts developed along a portion of the southern
boundary because it would prohibit further growth. Also, development of one-acre tracts in
this area is not economically feasible, so denial of the application would create a parcel of
undevelopable property on the edge of the city limits.
Mr. Joel Shouse, Planning Consultant and currently a member of the City-County
Planning Board, stated that he feels this site is one of the most logical places for develop-
ment. He noted that recent growth has occurred along the south and west sides of the city.
Mr. Shouse stated that for the new Waste Water Treatment Plant faci Iity to operate most effi-
ciently, the Plant needs to be run at its maximum capacity. He also noted that the developer
wishes city services for this site, which would make this site undevelopable under the current
I RS-1 zoning.
Mr. Shouse then presented to the Commission a report on the proposed Westwood PUD
for this site. Included in that report are several pages of the new Master Plan. which is not
yet adopted, and several pages of the Bozeman Area Transportation Plan, which was recently
completed. Mr. Shouse noted that South Third Avenue is not listed as a problem area, either
now or in the year 2000. He did note that the mixture of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians
along South Third Avenue is a problem because of the lack of curbs. gutters and sidewalks
in the area.
Mr. Clair Daines stated that he got a copy of the petition stating opposition to the
proposed Zone Map Change and split the signatures into the various zones in the area. He
then allowed one vote per lot in each zone. He noted that 90 percent of the lots in the ad-
jacent RS-1 zone registered protests; 9 percent of the lots in the adjacent R-1 zones regis-
tered protests; and 9 percent of the lots in the adjacent R-2 zone registered protests.
Mr. Tim Warner, 3400 Wagon Wheel Road, stated that he does not oppose the individuals
involved. but does oppose the requested Zone Map Change. He stated that the current sub-
division is one of the finest in and around the city, and he does not want to see a higher
density located next to the subdivision. Mr. Warner stated that there is a definite traffic
problem on South Third Avenue, largely due to the fact that South Eleventh Avenue has not
been extended to the south. He noted that the 1972 Master Plan may have indicated that the
zoning should be changed on the subject site. However, when he purchased his home, he
checked and found the surrounding land was zoned RS-1, with no proposals to change the
I zoning. Mr. Warner stated that the RS-1 zoning provides a buffer to the city. He further
stated that a sufficient amount of R-2 zoning currently exists in the city.
Commissioner Anderson asked if there was any major protest when Woodridge was zoned
R-1.
Mr. Warner stated that the area did not protest that rezoning; and the development is
a nice one. However, the residents in the RS-1 zone now feel that the existing RS-1 zoning
in the area should be maintained rather than rezoning the property to R-1 or R-2.
Mr. Ron Miller, Sundance Drive, noted that several people thought this Zone Map Change
request was a dead issue and, therefore, are not attending the Commission meeting. Mr. Miller
04-18-83
U22
stated opposition to the requested Zone Map Change because of the traffic congestion, air
pollution, noise pollution, increased crime and additional demands on the water supply that
the rezoning would create. Mr. Miller stated opposition to any rezoning and feels that the
zoning should be left as RS-1.
B rea k - 8: 30 to 8: 35 p. m . I
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver declared a five-minute break at 8:30 p.m. to reconvene at
8:35 p.m., in accordance with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March
14, 1983.
Public hearing (continued) - Zone Map Change - RS-1 to R-2 - tract of land in the SEA- of
S-ection 24, T2S, RSE, MPM (approximately 32 acres between South Third and Wagon Wheel
Road, across from Figgins Addition)
Mr. Bob McKenzie, 17 Trails End, stated opposition to the requested Zone Map Change.
He noted that the existing traffic situation on South Third Avenue is bad because of the
mixture of vehicles, bicycles and people walking or jogging. He noted that the question of
how far the city should expand becomes the main issue when considering this type of rezoning.
Mr. McKenzie stated that he purchased his home in the RS-1 district because he likes the
neighborhood and does not wish to see it change.
Mr. McKenzie further noted that projections indicate that 50 percent of the existing
subdivided lots will be utilized by the year 2000. He then stated that once the parcel of land
is rezoned from RS-1 to R-2, the developer is not required to utilize the drawing that has
been presented to the Commission, but could greatly increase the number of units in the
development.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver noted that with the Planned Unit Development proposal, as
it is proposed, the plans for the entire area would be approved through the plat approval
process.
Commissioner Anderson asked Mr. McKenzie if the R-1 zones in that area appear to be I
crowded.
Mr. McKenzie stated that the R-1 zones in the area are attractive because of the open
land which is immediately adjacent. Mr. McKenzie noted that Mr. Daines has indicated the
percentages in the different zones that have protested the development, and further noted
that no one has indicated support of the requested Zone Map Change.
Planning Director John Moss noted that one of the items mentioned in the public testi-
mony is the availability of subdivided lots. He noted that within the city limits there are
some areas of vacant land that can be developed as R-1 or R-2 parcels. However, there are
not many R-1 lots currently available; and the available R-2 lots are mostly concentrated in
the Valley Unit Subdivision.
Mr. David Young, 3416 Wagon Wheel Road t noted that at the Zoning Commission meeting t
concern was expressed for the aesthetics in the area. He stated opposition to the proposed
Zone Map Change, but stated that he would support a proposal between the current proposal
and the current RS-1 zoning.
Mr. Allan Taylor, 13 Trails End, noted that the subdivision went through basically
this same type of public hearing six years ago, when a proposal for multi-family dwellings
was submitted. He stated that at that public hearing, concerns about the adequacy of R-2
lots; the traffic pattern on South Third Avenue, including the pedestrian/traffic interaction;
sewer avai labi Iity and water avai labi Iity were expressed. Mr. Taylor then requested that the
Commission deny the proposed Zone Map Change. I
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver noted that if growth continues, another proposal on this
parcel of land could be submitted to the Commission in the future. He further noted that the
Master Plan indicates that this property should be developed with R-1 or R-2 zoning.
Mr. Taylor stated that the protestors are talking about a way of life and what they
expected. He further noted that they have paid for the RS-l type of living.
Mr. Ron Miller asked what an R-1 zoning would allow.
04-18-83
U23
Planning Director John Moss stated that R-2 lots must be at least 7,500 square feet in
size; and R-1 lots must be at least 10,000 square feet. He also stated that townhouses and
condominiums are permitted in either zone. The density for R-2 zoning is up to 7 units per
acre; and the density for R-1 zoning is up to 3.4 units per acre.
Mr. Ed Long, Figgins Addition, noted that something must be done with the land under
I consideration. He further noted that there might be too much development being done outside
the city limits; because he feels that the City needs the revenues received from growth. He
suggested that rather than developing the property as R-2 lots, that larger lots be developed
and nice homes be placed on the property. Mr. Long noted that traffic along South Third
Avenue is a problem; and an R-2 subdivision would only add to those problems. He then
suggested that whoever develops that property should also be responsible for the upgrading
of South Third Avenue.
Mrs. Joy Schendel, Figgins Addition, presented to the Commission a letter from Robert
and Mary Ann Brown, also residents of Figgins Addition, expressing opposition to the proposed
Zone Map Change. Mrs. Schendel then expressed opposition to the proposed Zone Map Change
also. She also stated that orderly growth should be considered, rather than the manner in
which Figgins Addition has been constructed.
Mr. Paul Baker, Wagon Wheel Road, asked if the proposed 24-inch water main will
increase the water volume and pressure to that area of the city.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver noted that the new water main will increase the pressure,
but wi II not alleviate the water availabil ity to the city.
Mr. Baker also stated that several houses are located along Wagon Wheel Road. He
expressed concern for the safety of children in the area if the proposed Zone Map Change is
approved.
Break - 9:30 to 9:35 p.m.
I Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver declared a five-minute break at 9:30 p.m. to reconvene at
9:35 p.m., in accordance with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March
14, 1983.
Ms. Linda Brock, 2525 Landoe Avenue, stated that she is part of the 91 percent in the
R-2 zoning who does not oppose the proposed Zone Map Change. She also noted that there
are better ways for a subdivision to grow than the way in which Figgins Addition has developed.
She stated that Mr. Daines' proposal would provide for better growth. She noted that the
subdivision would be completely developed initially, rather than in pieces. She also noted
that many of the comments have addressed the quality of life in Bozeman. Ms. Brock stated
that the quality of life is not in building on one-acre tracts; but is the preservation of the
air and water, which can' be accomplished through denser concentrations within the city.
Mr. Daines noted that the safety of children must be considered. He further noted
that there is a demand for R-2 lots within the city. He noted that the housing market has
been stagnant for the past three or four years, but the demand for new homes is now beginning
to increase. Mr. Daines also stated that if this parcel of land is not developed as a first-
class area, the houses will not sell.
Mr. Daines once again noted that the Master Plan indicates that this property should
be developed in an R-1 or R-2 zoning district. Also, the Planning Staff has recommended
I that the property be developed in accordance with the Master Plan. Mr. Daines further noted
that he could accept an R-1 zoning rather than the requested R-2 zoning. The plan for
Westwood Planned Unit Development that Ms. Brock submitted to the Commission will require
no changes to place in an R-1 zone.
Mr. Tim Warner stated that one of the major concerns of the residents in the RS-1
district is what the proposal for the sixty acres adjacent to the thirty-two acres will be if
this proposal is approved. He feels that the entire ninety-plus acres should be included in
04-18-83
02L}
one proposal. Mr. Warner that this approach could alleviate a lot of fears and objections in
the area.
Mr. Carter Williams noted that it would be nice to develop this entire area as RS-1
zoning. However, this type of development could present problems for future City
Commissions when they consider proposed annexations.
Mayor Pro Tempore Weaver closed the public hearing. A decision will be forthcoming I
following consideration of the request for annexation on this parcel of property.
Adjournment - 10:00 p.m.
There being no further business to come before the Commission at this time, it was
moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the meeting be ad-
journed. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Pro Tempore
Weaver; those voting No, none.
