The City Manager advised the Commission that he had discussed the latest developments deal-
ing with the location of a new library on the City Shop site with Mr. Penwell.
The City Manager indicated that there were several provisions in the contract submitted
by the Architect whicfu required further discussion.
The Assistant City Manager has drafted revised provisions for these items, and the items
will be submitted to the Architects for thorough discussion. He felt that all such provisions
could be resolved quite readily.
The City Manager then requested authorization to have the Agreement signed by the Mayor,
when the City Attorney, the Architect and the City Manager had agreed on all provisons at
I
issue.
The City Manager then reported that all issues involving location of the new library on
the City Shop site had been resolved. The Library Bond Issue will reimburse the general fund
i "q
~Uv
I
for land presently being used by the Police Department, Street Department and Water/Sewer
Department.
Using 23,250 square feet of the City shop site, together with two private owned lots
which total 15,000 square feet, the Library will have ample space on which to construct a
new Library.
The City Manager then read a letter from the Friends of Gallatin Libraries which contained
six points:
1. The Hagen and Hoffman properties be purchased
2. Library Bond Funds be transferred to the City General Fund at no more than
five dollars ($5.00) per square foot for city shops property needed for
construction of, and parking for, the new library building.
3. That 15,OOO square feet of the City Shops-Hagen-Hoffman property be al-
located to the City for use in providing parking for city employees and
the library.
That the City pave and landscape this 15,000 square feet and use it only
for surface parking.
4. That the entire property (City Shops-Hagen-Hoffman) be developed in accord-
ance with a plan designed by the Library architect as approved by the Library
Board and City Commission.
5. That the Library receive reasonable compensation for any use made of, or
money realized from the existing library or site.
6. The above conditions supersede the Friends' concerns as enumerated in
David Penwell's letter of April 5, 1979.
I
The City Manager disagreed with only a portion of point 5, and stated that no money would
be paid to the Library for any use made of the existing library for any other City development.
The City Manager further stated that he would draft a memorandum for inclusion into the
record of the next meeting. This would clarify reimbursement to the Library Board for the sale
of the present library, as well as to the pertinent provisons.
It was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Vandeventer, that the City
Manager be given the authority to complete the contract with the Architect. The mbtion was
carried by the following Aye and No vote, those voting Aye being Commissioner Swanson, Commis-
sioner Vandeventer, Commissioner MacNab, Commissioner Vollmer and Mayor Sedivy, those voting

Continued Hearing - Story Hills - Zone Map Change from PLI to RS-5
I

having been continued was again presented.
A meeting with Story Hills, and their proposal for a zone map change was held on Tuesday
afternoon. The staff members who attended centered the discussion around park land dedications
for the area involved.
The hearing was reopened by Mayor Sedivy, and the Planning Director reported briefly on
the results of the meeting held with the developers on Tuesday, April 17, 1979.
This meeting concerned provisions for park dedication for not only the 480-acre site
proposed for rezoning, but the entire 1,800 acre Story Hills area as well. The developer com-
mented on their perspective regarding the rezoning as well as the park dedicaton, and consider-
able discussion with the Commission ensuded. The hearing was continued until April 25, 1979.
Prior to that date, the Commission will attempt to tour the entire Story Hills, area, to
acquaint itself with developable acreage, undevelopable ravines, suitable areas for park lands
etc. It is felt that both park dedication and rezoning could better be addressed after viewing
the land involved.
