HomeMy WebLinkAbout1980-05-07 - - 7 Bozeman, Montana May 7, 1980 The Commission of the City of Bozeman met in regular session in the Commission Room, Muni- cipal Building, May 7, 1980, 1:15 o'clock p.m. Present were Mayor MacNab, Commissioner Vollmer, Commissioner.5:tiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, City Manager Gesko, City Attorney I Planalp, and the Clerk. The Mayor, on behalf of the City Commission, asked that the flags be flown at half-mast for a period of one week, in respect to the eight military personnel, who gave their life in an attempt to rescue the hostages. Commissioner Mathre opened the meeting with a prayer whereupon the minutes of the regular meeting held on Wednesday, April 30, 1980, were approved as submitted. Proposal by several local firms to provide volunteer assistance to complete Master Plan revision Jim Cummings addressed the City Commission, indicating that his firm Thomas, Dean & Hoskins, Inc., along with three other firms, Morrison and Maierle, Tap, Inc., and Rick ~1ayfield and Associates, had agreed to offer their profeSSional services without charge for the next six to eight months to assist the City/County Planning Board in the preparation of a revised Bozeman Area Master Plan. Mr. Cummings indicated that the offer is being made in acknowledgement of these firms par- ticipation in local Community Development and as a gesture to resolve some of the difficulties now existing with the now current outdated plan. He indicated that the participating firms mentioned recognized that a great deal of work has already been expended by the local Planning Staff and affiliate advisory groups in this regard, and considerable information already exists that could be used in updating the Master Plan. Furthermore, Mr. Cummings aCknowledged the direction for aChieving this revised Bozeman Area Master Plan and coordination for its final development would be sole prerogative of the City and County Commissioners through the City/ I County Planning Board. He indicated that the only request that the firms would make is that the result of their efforts would be published in a revised master plan within a designated time period. The City Manager reminded the City Commission that the Planning Staff has been working with representatives of the Montana State University in the preparation of a grant for funds provided through the National Science Foundation which would also assist in the revision of the Bozeman Area Master Plan. Ifsuccessful, this grant could provide up to $200,000 for this effort. The City Manager and the City Commission accepted the gracious offer of the four firms, and thanked Mr. Cummings and the other consulting firms for their generosity and indicated the following on behalf of the City Commission. l. Sincere appreciation for the generous offer extended by the four local consult- ing firms, commending them for their interest in community development and cooper- ation in assisting to update the Bozeman Area Master Plan. 2. The City Commission accepts the offer extended by the four local firms and looks forward to cooperating with these individuals to update the Bozeman Area Master Plan. 3. That Mr. Cummings and the participating consulting agencies approach the Planning Board with the same offer to adequately inform the Board as to this generous offer. 4. That efforts, already underway, to secure a grant from the National Science Foundation, through the Montana State University, will continue. I 5. If the offer to complete the Bozeman Area Master Plan is accepted by the City/ County Planning Board, it is requested that the progress of the participants be reviewed by both the City staff and the City/County Planning Board not less than every two weeks. It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the Commission accept the volunteer assistance as set forth above. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner I '", -" 8 . .~ ... - Mathre, Commissioner Vollmer, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No, none. Decision - Ramon White - Zone Map Change - AS to RS-2, 75 acres West of and Adjacent to Gooch Hill Road & South of & Adjacent to Aspen Basin Subdivision The decision on the request of Ramon White for a Zone Map Change, having been delayed for a period of one week, was again presented. The applicant seeks a change to the City's Official Zoning Map which would reclassify I the zoning on apprOXimately 75 acres from AS to RS-2. The property is located west of and adjacent to Gooch Hill Road and south of and adjacent to Aspen Basin Subdivision, approximately two miles west of the City of Bozeman. The City Manager said that when he and Commissioner Stiff visited the site, the water table appeared to be no more than 18 inches below the surface. He said both County Sanitar- ians were present, and suggested that the high water table alone would not preclude develop- ment. The City Manager further stated that although it would almost certainly prohibit sep- tic tank and drainfield installation, a central sewage system could be installed which would allow development. Next, although two-acre tracts are making better use of the land than perhaps ten-acre tracts, eventually more intense development than that might be called for. He said that even though no one is looking forward to the day when that area is developed with city-sized lots; it may come. If it does, and structures on either ten-acre or two-acre parcels are located at random, further, more intensive development might be made extremely diffi cult. He advised the Commission, that even though we are presently concerned with zoning-- not platting or subdividing, the public hearing on proposed Zone Code Amendments to Chapter 18.21, R-S is scheduled for today and recommended that the decision on the request of Ramon White be delayed until a decision is reached on the proposed Zoning Code Amendments to Chapter 18.21- It was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the Commis- sion defer the action on the request of Ramon White until a decision is reached on the Zon- I ing Code Amendments to Chapter 18.21. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vollmer, Commissioner Stiff, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No, none. Victory Powell asked that the property owners in that area be notified when the decision is forthcoming in order that they might be present. Decision - vacation or closin alle wa East & West, between North Grand Avenue and Third Avenue - ontana Ban Building The decision on the request of Montana Bank to close or vacate the alley, having been delayed for a period of one week, was again presented. The City Manager advised the Commission that the request from the Montana Bank is some- what unique inasmuch as counting the right-of-way toward an off-street parking requirement. Without actually owning the land, they could not count it toward their parking requirement. The City Manager further advised the Commission, that the City must protect and preserve its ability to maintain the storm drain underneath this existing right-of-way. If the City vacated and sold the land to the Montana Bank, they must certainly exchange a permanent or perpetual easement for virtually the same land, in order to be able to continue maintenance. In this way, the City would realize something from the sale of the land; the bank would gain the use of the land toward their off-street parking requirements. We would have a permanent easement allowing continued maintenance of the storm drain underneath. He said the City should preserve the right to install additional utilities within that same right-of-way, should it be deemed advisable. I The City Manager suggested that an appraisal of the land be made before any action is taken to either vacate or close the alley. It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vollmer, that the Commission be given authorization to get an appraisal before a decision is made. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vollmer, Commissioner Stiff, and r1ayor MacNab; Commissioner Swanson abstained. - - 9 ~ u " - Decision - Joe Sabol - Zone Map Change AS to R-O, property fronting on Durston Road to the east corner of intersection of Durston Road and Ferguson Lane Having delayed action of Joe Sabol's request for a period of one week, it was presented for a decision. The applicant seeks a change to the City's Official Zoning Map which would reclassify the zoning on approximately 38.7 acres from AS to R-O. The property fronts on Durston Road I at the southeast corner of the intersection of Durston Road and Ferguson Lane. FOllowing discussion by the Commission, it was moved by Commissioner Vollmer, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that they approve the Zone Map Change from AS to R-Q conditioned upon a submission of an acceptable Waiver of Protest of Annexation. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vollmer, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No, none. Decision - Montana Power Company - Conditional Use Permit - construction of Electrical Dis- tribution Substation The decision on the request of Montana Power Company for a Conditional Use Permit, having been delayed for a period of one week, was presented for a decision. The applicant seeks a conditional use permit which, if granted, would allow the construc- tion of an electrical distribution substation. The site is located northeast of and adjacent to U.S. Highway No. 10. The site is approximately one acre in size and several hundred feet west of the City Sewage Treatment Plant. The Commission concurred in the recommendation of the Zoning Commission, and it was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that they approve the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: l. Signing shall be limited to the standard non-illuminated, metal signs affixed to the fence. Said individual signs shall not exceed a sign area of six (6) square feet and total signs shall not exceed more than four in number. No mobile, portable, or temporary signs shall be used on the site. No external I lighting apparatus shall be attached to signs used in conjunction with the pro- posed use shall be in compliance with the conditions set forth in the approval of this request. 2. Lattice insets shall be used in conjunction with a fence to encompass the pro- posed substation. The recommended fencing treatment will aid in partially screening the proposed facility. 3. All on-site improvements (i.e., fencing, etc.) shall be completed within eight- een (18) months of approval of the Conditional Use Permit. 4. Three (3) copies of a final site plan containing all conditions, corrections and modifications recommended and approved by the City Commission shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director prior to the issuance of a building permit for the project. One (1) signed copy shall be retained by the Planning Director; one (1) signed copy retained by the Building Department; one (1) signed copy retained by the applicant. 5. The conditional use permit shall be valid for a period of only eighteen (18) months following institution of the use and shall be submitted to the City Commission for renewal as specified on the Conditional Use Permit. Failure of the applicant to satisfy all conditions within the designated time period may be grounds for terminating the Conditional Use Permit. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commis- sioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, and Mayor MacNab; Commissioner Vollmer abstained. Decision - Steve Hawkinson - Conditional Use Permit - construction of 4800 sq. ft. building North Rouse Avenue I The decision on the request of Steve Hawkinson for a Conditional Use Permit, having been delayed for a period of one week, was presented for a decision. The applicant seeks a conditional use permit which, if granted, would allow the construc- tion of a 4,800 square foot building to be used for dry storage warehouse and a sheet metal shop. The ~Ia.ddell Storage business is located approximately several hundred feet west of the site on North Rouse Avenue. The Commission concurred with the recommendation of the Zoning Commission, and it was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the Commission approve the Con- ditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: - - 10 1- Signing shall be limited to the one free-standing sign proposed on the applicant's site plan. The one flush-mounted wall sign, not to exceed the height of the build- ing, nor exceed a total sign area of fifty square feet. Said signs shall not be illuminated nor blinking, flashing, or animated. No mobile, portable, or tempor- ary signs shall be used on the site. No external lighting apparatus shall be attached to signs used in conjunction with the proposed use. 2. All landscaped areas shall be enclosed by permanent concrete or asphaltic curbing at least six (6) inches in height and/or split rail fence to prevent vehicular traf- I fic across landscaped areas. The landscaped areas adjacent to Bryant Street shall also have permanent curbing and/or fencing extended along this frontage. 3. All parking spaces and ingress/egress areas shall be paved (asphalt). 4. There shall not be any outside storage of junk or salvage materials, dismantled, wrecked, or inoperative vehicles or equipment, tires, or building materials or supplies unless screened on all sides by a solid fencing at least six feet in height constructed of new materials. 5. The final site plan shall: a. Provide adequate details as to what system will be used to provide irrigation/water to the designated landscaped areas. b. Eliminate one of the proposed parking spaces from the west property line. The proposed space at this location may tend to impede two-way traffic flow at this location. c. Show the existing 30' utility easement along the east property line. d. Percent of site covered by the proposed building. e. One 30' curb opening on Bryant Street rather than the proposed two curb openings. f. Alteration of the front yard landscaping design to comply with Section 18.84.040 2. Screening of the Bozeman Off-Street Parking and Loading requirements. 6. Three (3) copies of a final site plan containing all conditions, corrections and modifications recommended and approved by the City Commission shall be reviewed I and approved by the Planning Director prior to the issuance of a building permit for the project.

The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vollmer, Commissioner Stiff, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No, none. Decision - Eugene Graf - Zone Map Change AS to R-2, south of Summit Engineering and east of Figgins Addition The decision on the request of Eugene Graf for a Zone Map Change from AS to R-2, having been delayed for a period of one week, was again presented. The applicant seeks a change to the City's Official Zoning Map, which if granted, would change the zoning classification on approximately 36 acres. The property is located south of Summit Engineering and west of Figgins Addition. The City Manager advised the Commission that most of the objection to the proposed zon- I ing is the traffic situation which will be generated by the development of this property. The City is concerned with zoning--not platting or sUbdividing, but with the approval of each successive step it becomes more difficult to make decisions in the right direction. The City Manager suggested that the decision be delayed for thirty days for further study. It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the request for - . . 11 the Zone Map change be delayed for a period of thirty days. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, and ~1ayor MacNab; those voting No being Commissioner Vollmer. Public hearing - City/County Planning Staff - proposed Zone Code Amendment to Chapter 18.21, RS This was the time and place set for the pUblic hearing of the City/County Planning Staff I for a Zone Code Amendment - Chapter 18.2l. The Planning Staff found that the future lot size parameters proposed (not less than 10,000 square feet nor more than 15,000 square feet) would be too inflexible. The Planning Staff, therefore, proposes that the future lot sizes average 15,000 square feet for the given subdivi- sion. This revision will allow for a mixture of future lots less than 10,000 square feet and lots greater than 15,000 square feet. The Planning Director advised the Commission that memorandums had been received from the Building Inspector and the City Engineer which critiqued the proposed amendment. He further advised the Commission that the intent of this district is to provide for low density single- family development in areas suited to existing physiographic characteristics and intensive development limitations and where public/private, central sanitary sewer collection and/or water distribution systems do not exist. However, whenever individual lot sizes of less than three acres within any R-S zoning district are created, such lots shall not be approved as valid building sites nor any build- ing permits issued until an appropriate subdivision plat has been approved by the City and/ or County Commissioners and recorded in the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder's Office which guarantees that all such lots can be further re-subdivided into individual lots, said future lots within the subdivision shall have an average lot size ranging between fourteen thousand to sixteen thousand square feet with a minimum size of seven thousand and five hundred square feet. The guarantee shall be indicated on the recorded subdivision plat by future lot split line(s). I Several interested citizens were present to discuss the issue in question. The City Manager said that if someone came in with a development proposing three acre lots or less, no plats for this sized lot would be approved unless and until each parcel was further divided into smaller, city-sized lots. This would prevent houses from being built on the three- or smaller acre parcels which might later be situated right in the middle of a proposed street right-of-way. Later on, also, if municipal utilities become necessary-- for whatever reason--they could be extended with much less financial burden to city-sized lots ~han to owners owning three acres each. The cost would almost certainly be prohibitive. The City Manager highly recommended this concept. Following discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Vollmer, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the request be continued for a couple of weeks. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vollmer, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No, none. r.ontinued Public hearing - Commission Resolution No. 2163, SID 606 - paving portion of Villard Street - Beall's Third Having continued the public hearing on Commission Resolution No. 2163, the Intent to Create SID No. 606, paving portion of Villard Street in Beall's Third Addition, it was again brought before the Commission. The City Manager presented protests filed with the Clerk of the City Commission and signed by owners of property representing 84% of the proposed district as determined by the City Engineer. Several property owners were present to affirm the written protests to the creation J of Special Improvement District No. 606. The Commission honored the protests and Special Improvement District No. 606 is automatic- ally killed. Commissioner Vollmer hopes that the street can be graveled. Decision - City/County Planning Staff - subdivision regulation fees The Planning Staff has suggested the imposition of subdivision regulation fees, as charges for services performed by the Planning Staff on reviewing such documents. . 12 The City Manager advised the Commission that this is a practice in use elsewhere, and would contribute to sorely-needed funds in this department, which again might be used for completion of our Master Plan. The City Manager recommended that the fees be approved as presented. It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the Commission accept the above fee schedule. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner ~1athre, Commissioner Vollmer, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No, none.
