The City Manager explained that if the land is zoned R-MH, there can be no further opportunities
for "zoning" buffers. There may be buffers of a different nature, such as parkland, additional set-
back, landscaping, fences, etc, but nothing of a 'zoning" nature such as suggested by the neighbors
across the road.
There was a discussion as to the difference of mobile home parks and mobile home subdivisions.
The R.M.H. District allows for either or both these types of development.
Following further discussion the City Manager recommended that the Commission approve the Zone
Map Change with the absolute petition that the Waiver of Protest to Annexation be attached to the
entire five-hundred acres, and that a "T" designation be attached to the B-1, B-2, and T-R.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commission approve
the Zone Map Change and that the Waiver of Protest to Annexation be attached to the entire 500 acres,
and that the "T" be attached to the B-l, B-2, and T-R. Also that the developer agrees that he will
submit all plans for subdivision and development of the property to the City Commission for its
approval. Commissioner Mathre then moved that the Commission table the above motion for a period Of

were Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Vollmer, and Mayor MacNab; those voting
No being Commissioner Mathre.

Lamme north to Tamarack
Pat Penberthy of the Montana Power Company appeared before the Commission to discuss the
proposed high pressure sodium street lighting in connection with Special Improvement Lighting
District No. 631 which would be installed in the northeast area of the City. Mr. Penberthy addressed the
cost comparisons between mercury vapor luminaires mounted on wood poles served by overhead conductors,
and Type III High Pressure Sodium Luminaires Mounted on Wood Poles and served by overhead conductors.
~1r. Penberthy said that even though high-pressured sodium vapor fixtures use less energy, they have
a higher monthly rate. He explained that sodium fixtures available in 100 watt bulbs, draw only
140 watts for a lighting power of 9,500 lumens at a cost of $8.39. The standard 175-watt mercury
vapor lights now used in the city draw 212 watts for 7,000 lumens at a cost of $4.84.
