Agenda Item #3 - M. Klabunde - Master Plan Conflict - Proposed Agricultural land use
change to Commerical land use
,-, 08
UC
J. Herman presented the Staff Report:
The applicant seeks a zone change from AS )Agricultural Suburban) to B-2-T (Community
Highway Business Transitional) for the area now occupied by Stan's Miniature Golf along U.S.
Higway 19l, west of Rae Road.
Mr. Penwell spoke on behalf of Mr. Klabunde and indicated that his client would suffer
severe hardship if the land use change to commercial development is not supported by the
Planning Board. He referred to a study submitted to the Planning Board by Mr. Rick Mayfield I
reviewing this subject matter. Mr. Klabunde indicated the need for the land use change in-
dicating that the property would be used to establish accessory uses associated with the
Heritage Mobile Hom sales lot on the adjoining property. Mr. Stanfield, current proprietor
of Stan's Miniature Golf. indicated he is severely limited in what he can do with the prop-
erty since he is in a non-conforming use status and can retain the present use so long as it
is not abandoned for a period greater than 90 days.
Mr. Hardin, a local realtor, reviewedthe problem not existing in Bozeman with an alleged
shortage of commercial-zoned land. He further indicated the exorbitant costs associated with
with trying to purchase these commercial properties. The Planning Director pointed out that
the present miniature golf course use was instituted approximately one week prior to the ef-
fective date of the City Zoning authority on this property in September. 1973. Mr. Grabow
suggested that this is another in a continued series of requests for strip commercial along
west U.S. 19l. The Planning Director indicated that the intent of the 1972 Bozeman Area
Master Plan has been satisfied for a commercial node with the 1977 commercial rezonings for
the Trunk and Klabunde properties.
Mrs. Harriet Brendon, a property owner in the area, protested the land use change.
Mr. Swanson moved for denial of the proposed land use change as it appears that the
recommendation contained in the 1972 Bozeman Area Master Plan for a commercial node has been
satisfied. The need for additional commercial land does not appear to be substantiated.
M. McMillan seconded the motion
On a motion duly made and seconded. the above was denied by a vote of four (4) to three
(3) with K. Swanson, J. Shouse. B. Grabow. M. McMillan voting Yes, and J. Craig, L. Davis
and G. Sager voting no.
RESOLVED, That the Bozeman City-County Planning Board deny the proposed
land use change as the need for additional commercial land does not appear I
to be substantiated.
Bozeman City Zoning Commission minutes - September 26, 1978
Agenda Item #2 - M. Klabunde - Zone map change
The applicant seeks a zone change from AS (Agricultural-Suburban) to B-2-T (Community
Highway Business-Transitional) for the area now occupied by Stan's Miniature Golf along
U.S. Highway #l9l west of Rea Road, containing approximately 13 acres of which approximately
11 acres are undeveloped
This item was schedule for the August Zoning Commission meeting but was continued at
that time until a recommendation from the Planning Board could be received.
Jerry Herman, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report which recommended that the
B-2-T proposed zonging be denied. The Planning Board recommendation was also to deny this
proposed land use change.
Dennis Hardin. a realtor with Rosenthal Realty, spoke in support of the proposed zone
change, stating he felt the proposed zone change would be in line with what the Planning Staff
and Zoning Board hoped for when the Master Plan was drafted. He stated that the Master Plan
indicated that there should be a nodule of commercial development at the intersection of
Rea Road and U.S. Highway #l9l and that he felt this proposed zone change would adequately
fill this need. He stated that as of now there is only one listing in the Bozeman area for
B-2-T property for sale and that the Bozeman area needs the depth of this type of zoning
along U.S. 11191.
Don Stanfield, property owner of the proposed site, addressed the Commission and spoke in
favor of the proposed zone change. He stated he was the owner of Stan's Miniature Golf located
on the proposed site and that he would like to see the zoning changed for personal reasons
and also for proper development of the land. He stated he felt hampered by the present zoning
of agricultural. He stated that with a commercial zoning, he felt this land would have a more I
desirable use.
Roger Hougen. adjacent landowner to the proposed site. addressed the Commission and stated
he had no objection to the proposed zoning.
David Penwell, Attorney, representing the applicant addressed the Commission. He inquired
of the Commission members whether they had received a copy of Rick Mayfield's report on the
proposed zone change. They indicated they had received and reviewed same.
Mr. Penwell stated that there is only three alternative uses for the proposed site, that
being agricultural, commercial or residential. He stated that from an economical standpoint.
the proposed site is not and cannot be realistically used for agriculture. In regard to res-
idential use, the proposed site had already a single family residence on it. With the present
zoning of AS, only this one dwelling is allowed on the site. He stated that the resale value
of the proposed site as agriculture or residential is nil.
',: ('. (~
uv,--,
He reiterated the opion that this proposed zoning would meet the needs of the commerical
nodule for that area as indicated in the Master Plan.
Mr. Penwell further stated that two of the Planning Board members casting deciding votes
had stated before voting that their reason for denial was not based upon their opposition to
the proposed zoning but rather to their feeling of the inadequacy of the present Master Plan
for Bozeman. He stated that the Planning Board had recommended denial of this proposed land
use change on a vote of 4 - 3. He stated he felt his client should not suffer the consequences
I for the lack of an updated Master Plan.
Mr. Klabunde, the applicant, was present at this meeting but stated that he felt his case
had been amply presented and did not wish to add anything at this point.
A proposed plat of the area in question was presented to the Commission members for review.
Chairman Van Noy read aloud a letter signed by Burl and Carolyn Winchester, Robert and
Harriet Brenden, Nanci and Phil Brug and Della and David Norton, which was in opposition to the
proposed zone change.
Mark Hendricks, present in the audience, addressed the Commission and spoke in opposition
to the proposed change due to the already heavy traffic on this highway and aesthetic reasons.
There being no further testimony or protests, Chariman VanNoy closed the public partici-
pation of this application.
Judy Mathre brought up the point whether commercial development should be delayed until
the traffic problem on U.S. Highway #l9l is resolved or whether to allow development and then
hope that something will be done to either widen the highway or to limit access.
Paul Bolton and Arthur Van't Hul both stated that they are on the local TAC committee and
according to current calculations. it would be at least 4 to 5 years before limited access to
the highway could be implemented.
Paul Uhlrich stated that he felt in light of past history. it would indicate that when
one request is granted for a zone change that other requests are soon forthcoming.
Paul Uhlrich moved that the Zoning Commission recommend denial of the request for the
zone change to B-2-T. Roger Craft seconded the motion.
I On motion duly made and seconded. the zone change request by Maurice Klabunde was unan-
imously denied by the Bozeman Zoning Commission.
RESOLVED. that the Bozeman Zoning Commission deny the Zone Change request by
Maurice Klabunde and that a recommendation of denial be sent to the Bozeman
City Commission.

sioner Vollmer. seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that a decision be made on Wednesday. Dec-
