Preliminary Plat - Dell Subdivision - Secondary Access Action was delayed on the preliminary plat for Dell Subdivision for the purpose of ex- ploring a secondary access which would be built on a temporary basis. A meeting was held between all the principles involved in this matter. The principles explored a secondary access which would be built on a temporary basis. The road would extend east from South Black Avenue along the existing right-of-way of College Street extended. The roadway would bend slightly southward when it met and crossed the creek, and would extend fur- ther along the south bank of the creek until it connected with Dell Place extended. It would then turn directly north and across the stream once more, connecting with Dell Place extended. This road would be built on a temporary, gravel-surfaced base, and would provide secondary access for an indefinite period. The roadway will be approximately twenty-five feet wide on a sixty-foot right-of-way and would cost approximately $25,000.00. Fred Nelson advised the Commission that Ron Marcoux, State Wildlife Representative, had another meeting and would be unable to attend this meeting. The State Fish and Game agrees that the access plan appears to mean that the stream shall be changed to provide for the I " ~ /.. .' L01 I continuation of College Street along the existing right-of-way. The present temporary plan ultimately will lead to the rechannelization of the creek. The Fish and Game indicated they would go to arbitration if Spring Creek were to be moved to make way for College Street. A rough estimate for constructing College Street between Tracy Avenue and Dell Place to the Dell Subdivision is estimated at approximately $200,000.00. The City Engineer suggests that the developer pay the cost of temporary roadway con- struction, rather than use an SID. If an SID were charged abutting property owners at this time, much of the construction would be lost when the permanent roadway is installed. At that time again, of course, and SID for the much larger amount would be expected. How much to credit the original SID participants against the second construction project for a hard- surface road would be the question at that time. If no SID were created at this time, then the entire cost of the hard-surfaced roadway would be forthcoming. It was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Vandeventer, that the Com- mission approve the preliminary plat of the Amended Subdivision of Guy's Addition subject to the following conditions: 1. That the subdivision layout be designed as shown in the attached Planning Staff design. 2. That an SID be created with appropriate surrounding property owners to insure construction and extension of College Street east from Black Ave- nue to the eastern boundary of the proposed subdivision of Mr. Tom Langel (amended plat of Guy's Addition). 3. The existing house, lying within the proposed extension of Dell Place, be removed as a part of this road construction. I 4. That an Improvements Agreement be drafted and signed by appropriate parties insuring installation of all necessary subdivision improvements (i.e., con- struction of Dell Place (extended) to City design standards, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water improvements, etc.). 5. That all necessary certificates be attached to the final plat in proper form. Also that a waiver of protest to the dedication of College Street for a 60' right-of-way be received in writing from Mr. Don Nell before the final plan is filed. That College Street from Tracy to the eastern terminus of Dell Place extended across Spring Creek be constructed as a temporary 20' wide improved graveled surface with the proposed construction design to be approved by the City Engineer, and that appropriate sureties be furnished to guarantee the construction of this improvement. That a IS' non constructed setback from the Southern bank of Spring Creek be observed and that appropriate culvert crossings be installed for Dell Place and College Street extended. The cost of the $25,000.00 is to be borne by the Developers without an SID. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote, those voting Aye being Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner MacNab, COlmnissioner Vollmer and Mayor Sedivy, those voting No being Commissioner Vandeventer. Don Nell went on record that when he comes in for an R-3, that it will be approved by the City Commission.

Preliminary Plat - Sourdough Ridge Block 3 - Jackson & Feller Action was delayed on the preliminary plat for Sourdough Ridge R10ck 3 until a satisfactory agreement has been reached between the developers and the property owners in the area as to road maintenance obligations. The neighbors in that area petitioned to ensure that no access would be allowed to this subdivision from the south or east. They preferred that the subdivision not be approved, un- less McDougal Drive were connected to Kagy Boulevard to the north. The purpose of having re- viewed the proposed preliminary plat was because of this access complication. The Planning Director advised the Commission that the Developers and property owners in the area reached an agreement as to the road maintenance obligations. Mike Coil, Legal Counsel for the Homeowners Association of Sourdough Ridge III, Block 3 was present to answer any questions and present the additional conditions to be attached to the preliminary plat submitted for Sourdough Ridge III, Block 3. I )Q? ._ J..... Following discussion, it was moved by Comnlissioner Vandeventer, seconded by Commissioner MacNab, that the Commission approve the preliminary plat with the following conditions: 1. All the necessary Certificates be added to the final plat prior to its sub- mittal and approval. 2. State Department of Health approval is received. 3.

Also, street signs shall be installed per County standards; desirable veg- etative ground cover be maintained on all lots and parcels within the sub- division per recommendation and approval of the County Extension Agent; a copy of the Extension Agent's recommendation shall be incorporated into the final .Improvements Agreement; and should the subdivision be within a rural fire district, $35.00 per lot shall be paid to the fire district fund by the developer. 4.

These recommendations shall be incorporated into the final Improvements Agreement. 5. The road system and lots be staked to allow for Staff onsite inspection prior to final plat approval of any questionable lots and/or road designs. I 6. Lots 7 and 8 be included as park land to be dedicated to a Homeowner's Association, thus providing a total park area of 4.8 acres. 7. All lot frontages conform to the requirements of the Bozeman Zoning Code or an appropriate variance be granted by the Board of Adjustment prior to final plat approval for any proposed non-conforming lot frontages. 8. That the final plat contain a notation that no future subdivision of the lots be allowed. Also the following conditions submitted by the Homeowners Association: 1. That the improvements agreement contain a waiver of protest by the property owners of and/or within this proposed subdivision for the creation of an extended rural improvement district to include property owners within Sour- dough Ridge Subdivisions I, II, and III for road maintenance and snow re- moval of all public roads contained within those above mentioned subdivisions, and that the applicants or their successors in interest pay their proportionate share of legal costs and all other costs and expenses involved in the creation of said rural improvement district. "That the applicants or their successors in interest be required to file appropriate documents which authorize and assist in the formation of a homeowners association to govern the subdivisions known as Sourdough Ridge I, Sourdough Ridge II, Sourdough Ridge II, Block 1 and Sourdough Ridge III, Block 2 and Sourdough Ridge III, Block 3 and that said applicants use their best efforts to coordinate the formation and sup- port of said homeowners association and that they be required to amend their re- strictive covenants as needed to bring their subdivision within the homeowners association, which will cover all of the Sourdough Ridge subdivisions aforementioned.

I "That no other public access be allowed into Sourdough Ridge III, Block 3 from any direction except that Donegal Drive may be extended to the North to connect with Kagy Boulevard, as right of way is available; the result of the foregoing being that there would be only two access routes into the Sourdough Ridge subdivisions, that one now existing from Sourdough Road and any access which may come into ex- istence in the future by extension of Donegal north to Kagy Boulevard; the intent being that all future subdivisions in the ridge area, including those to the South and the East of the Sourdough Ridge Subdivisions, have their own public access !j '''''1 r, L~~ without any through streets leading to any of the Sourdough Ridge subdivisions." The motion was carried unanimously. Proposed Ordinance No. 1033 - Require subdivision plats to comply with Master Plan I An ordinance proposed for the area included within the jurisdiction of the Bozeman City- County Planning Board requiring that all subdivisions be required to conform to the provisions of the Bozeman Area Master Plan was presented. The proposed ordinance is in line with the provisions of the Montana Codes that allow for cities to adopt such an ordinance. Although it needs up-dating, the City does have a Master Plan at this time. If subdivis- ions outside the city limits, but within the planning area, are compelled to comply with that existing Master Plan, that is an advantage over having such subdivisions approved which are not in compliance with any Master Plan whatever. Following discussion, it was moved by Commissioner MacNab, seconded by Commissioner Vollmer, that the Commission approve Ordinance No. 1033 and it be sent to the Gallatin County Commission for their review and suggestions.
