McChesney for a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of a commercial building located on
Lot 18A, McChesney Industrial Subdivision, more commonly known as 621 Nikles Drive.
City Manager Evans noted that the application actually Includes two separate Issues:
(1) location of an upholstery shop in a portion of the existing structure; and (2) expansion
of the structu re for futu re retail sales use. The City Manager recommended that the two
Issues be separated and that the first request be conditionally approved and that a decision
on the second request be delayed until the petitioner requests a decision. The City Manager

ditions which the Zoning Commission recommends for approval. He stated that these items I
could be further reviewed and discussed prior to reaching a decision.

the Conditional Use Permit for the location of an uphOlstery shop In a portion of the existing
commercial building located on Lot 18A, McChesney Industrial Subdivision (more commonly
known as 621 Nikles Drive) be acted on separately from the request for expansion of the

or a rear yard.

five years. The City Engineer recommended that the dam be breached as soon as possible
because the dam Is a hazard as It presently exists. He stated that he would make this same
recommendation to the Bozeman Creek Water Users' Association at a meeting later this week.

repairing the dam in the future.
City Engineer Van't Hul stated that breaching would be done with the intent of repair-
ing the dam. He stated that it should not change the final cost of repairing the dam. The I
City Engineer stated that he will take a contractor to the site later this week to obtain an
estimate of the costs Involved in breaching of the dam. He also noted that Mr. Bob Gemmell,

Laboratories; and Mr. Dutch Wheaton, U.S. Forest Service, also viewed the dam and agreed
that the dam should be breached, preferrably this fall.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked who is legally responsible for action on the dam.
City Attorney Planalp stated that the agreement signed by the Bozeman Creek Water
Users' Association provides that as soon as all stock certificates are In escrow, the dam is the
City's obligation. Until all stock certificates have been placed in escrow, the dam belongs to
to the Association. The City Attorney also stated that whoever decides to breach the dam
will have to pay the bill. He suggested that the Association make the determination.

Water Users' Association. He noted that the costs should be borne by the Association and
not entirely by the City.

Commission Instruct the Staff to further research the matter and to discuss the matter with
