Decision - Zone Map Change from AS to M-1-T - John Mandeville
Having delayed action on the request from John Mandeville for a Zone Map Change from AS
to M-1, it was brought before the Commission for a decision.
Mr. Mandeville was present to explain his reason for the Zone Map Change and advised the
Commission that he was not in favor of the "T" designation.
Paul Bolton, Planning Director, presented the staff report, and recommended that the
Commission approve the Zone ~,1ap Change from AS to M-1 with the "T" designation.
The City Manager reminded the Commission that he favored the "T" designation over the
option of precluding certain types of uses for this proposed M-1 District. The City Manager
offered the suggestion that the Commission waive the conditional use review fees for Mr. I
Mandeville when he submits his request before the Zoning and City Commission. The Ci ty
Manager further expressed hi s gratitude on behalf of the City Commi ss i on for the excellent
cooperation on the part of the Mandeville family, concluding the satisfactory resolution of
this matter; particularly the matter of the Waiver of Protest of Annexation.
The Commission asked Mr. Mandeville if this option would be acceptable and Mr. Mandeville
answered in the affirmative.
It was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the Commission
concur in the recommendation of the Planning Director and approve the Zone Map Change from AS to
M-1-T. The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commis-
sioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No being Commissioner Vollmer,
and Commissioner Stiff.
John Mandeville - Approval of Waiver of Protest
The Agreement regarding the conditions attached to a Waiver of Protest dealing with the
Mandeville rezoning request, as prepared by the City Attorney, was presented.
The Mandeville's have agreed to waive all protests to the annexation by the City of Bozeman.
The City of Bozeman agrees that it will not commence annexation of the real property con-
taining approximately 10.000 acres for a period of five years from the execution of this agree-
ment. so long as the Mandeville's, their heirs, executors and assigns do not subdivide, lease or
otherwise transfer their interest or allow any other individuals to use said real property.
For the purpose of this agreement, subdivision shall be the transfer, sale, granting, or
leasing of any tract of land smaller than twenty acres to any person, assignee, grantee, corpora- I
tion, partnership or any other individual. It is understood that this provision shall not apply
to the transfer to a son or a daughter of John M. Mandeville and Donna R. Mandeville for the
purposes of estate planning. This provision shall apply to any subsequent transfer by said
son or daughter of the subject real property. It is further understood that this provision
shall not apply to the leasing of a portion of an auction barn and office space contained therein
together with parking improvements on the subject real property that exist nor or may hereafter
be constructed by Mandeville.
~.' .', r
";'u;.)
The City of Bozeman states that it will not commence annexation of the real property
until the City of Bozeman has made available to the lot line of the subject real property
utility services, including water, sewer, fire protection and police protection.
The Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, assigns and grantees of Mandeville
and shall be recorded in the Clerk and Recorder's Office of Gallatin County, Montana, to pro-
vide notice to all subsequent purchasers of the contents of this agreement.
I In consideration of the execution of this Waiver of protest to annexation, the City hereby
agrees to the rezoning of said real property to an M-1-T classification, but the parties hereto
agree that the City shall not be responsible or liable for the extension of utility services to
the subject real property until the City, in its own discretion, determines that it is feasible,
useful and beneficial to the City of Bozeman.
Following discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vollmer,
that the Commission approve the Waiver of Annexation Agreement as presented. The motion was
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commis-
sioner Vollmer, Commissioner Swanson, and Mayor MacNab; those voting No being Commissioner

Public hearing - Conditional Use Permit - Steve Houser - construct building
This was the time and place set for a continued pUblic hearing to consider the Conditional
Use Permit for Steve Houser.
The applicant seeks a conditional use permit which, if granted would allow the construc-
tion of a 4,640 square foot building to be used for a cabinet/woodworking shop and leasable
warehouse space. The location of the site is 1025 Story Mill Road, immediately south of the
property belonging to Rowe Ice Company.
The Planning Director presented the staff report which recommended approval subject to
the site plan submitted as part of the application and subject to conditions.
There being no one present to protest, the Mayor declared the hearing closed and a decision
I will be forthcoming on Wednesday, March 19, 1980.
Public hearing - Zone Map Change - Bob Braun - from AS to M-1 property southeast of Idaho Pole
business and Bohart Lane
This was the time and place set for a continued public hearing to consider the Zone Map
Change for Bob Braun.
The applicant seeks a change to the City's Official Zoning Map on approximately one-half
acre located east of and adjacent to Interstate 90 and south of the abandoned Milwaukee Rail-
road line. If approved, the current zoning designation of AS would change to M-1. The prop-
erty is part of a larger parcel used for a mobile home park.
The Planning Director presented the staff report which recommended that this proposed zone
map change be denied as the major issue concerned with this proposed zone map change would appear
to be reasonableness of present zoning as applied to land suitability/applicability versus
requested zoning and existing land uses.
The Applicant addressed the Commission stating that when he initially started this zone
change, he didn't know whether to seek a zone change or a conditional use. He proceeded with
the zone change as he understood that was the way to go. He advised the Commission that the
property might be seen from the highway but that he intended to screen it with trees and a
fence and he didn't intend for it to be an industrial site. He further stated his building
will be new with no storage outside. The building will be used for storing some of his old
cars and will be used for work (i.e. sawing lumber, etc.). He further stated he would be refur-
biShing his old car collection, and producing metal sheds.
I The Planning Director pointed out that zone map changes are not particularly concerned
with the idea that a specific use might be allowed in that area, but if approved, the whole
range of M-1 uses would be allowed in that area.
There being no one present to protest, the Mayor declared the hearing closed and a decision
will be forthcoming on Wednesday, March 19, 1980.
Public hearing - Zone Map Change - Eugene Graf - from AS to R-2 and R-3 - 121 acres located south
of Summit Engineering
This was the time and place set for a continued public hearing to consider the Zone Map Change
L} 56
for Eugene Graf. The zone map change, if approved, would change the existing zoning of AS to R-2.
On November 21, 1979, the property was approved for annexation to the City of Bozeman, effective
April 1, 1980. The total area approved for annexation was 121 acres.
The petition for a zone map change was withdrawn at the Zoning Commission hearing. The
petitioner now chooses to revise his original proposal from the rezoning initially thought
advisable.
Accordingly, the public hearing was opened, comments heard, the hearing closed without I
action--pending a resubmission of the rezoning request.
Public hearing - Zone Map Change - Ken Spain and Kent Wilson - from R-4 to B-2-T, Lots 11-18,
Block 5 - Springbrook Addition
This was the time and place set for a continued public hearing to consider the Zone Map
Change for Ken Spain and Kent Wilson. The applicant seeks a Zone Map Change, which if granted,
would change the zoning classification from R-4 to B-2-T. Said area is bounded by West Menden-
hall Street and North 10th Avenue, and contains approximately 27,500 square feet.
The existing medical/dental office in the newly constructed building at the corner of 11th
Avenue and Mendenhall Street and the dental office at the corner of 10th Avenue and West Menden-
hall Street are the only structures in the area being proposed for the zone map change. The
applicants seek the zone map change so that other than medical offices could be used within the
existing buildings (i.e., law offices, insurance offices, etc.).
The Planning Director presented the staff report which recommended approval thereof. The
expanded range of permitted office uses for the property in question would be allowed, while
the single-family character of this neighborhood would be safeguarded with the attached "T"
designation.
The "T" designation would allow for resident input at scheduled public hearings for any
future use that would be proposed for the site. A further qualification for this "T" district
might be to prohibit any retail, manUfacturing, assembly, or wholesale uses on this site.
Mr. Spain advised the Commission that this neighborhood is important to him and Dr. Wilson;
they do not want to make an adverse change. The applicants want to maintain the level of quality .1
that they have tried to develop in this area. He added that professional offices (i .e. law
offices, insurance offices) usually only have two or three clients per hour that need a place
to park. He feels that it too will not affect the traffic pattern.
Lee Cannon of 109 North Tenth Avenue advised the Commission that he spoke in opposition to
the zone map change at the meeting held on March 5, 1980. He stated he would like to see the
above area zoned B-2-T and withdrew his objections.
Several other citizens were present to speak in favor of the Zone Map Change.
The City Manager advised the Commission that he would like a letter from the other protes-
tors expressing their opinion on the zone map change request.
There being no further discussion on the proposed zone map change, the Mayor declared the
hearing closed and a decision will be forthcoming on Wednesday, March 19, 1980.
Public hearing - City/County Planning - proposed zone code amendment - Chapter 18.21, RS -
Country Estates Major Revision
This was the time and place set for a continued public hearing to consider a major revision
to Chapter 18.21 of the Bozeman Zoning Code.
The City Manager advised the Commission that it has been some time since this matter was
heard by the City Commission and it seems advisable to re-advertise this matter, because of the
interval involved.
The Mayor declared the hearing closed.
The Planning Director said the pUblic hearing has been re-advertised due to the excessive
time period between the initial pUblic hearing notice and the reconsideration of this item. I

Continued hearing - Commission Resolution No. 2163 - Paving on W. Villard Street - SID 606
Having continued the hearing on Commission Resolution No. 2163, SID 606, paving on West
Villard Street, for a period of one week, it was again brought before the Commission.
A memorandum received from Paul Bolton, Director of Planning, was read as set forth
in full:
If the same income guidelines are used to assess the incomes of residents
owning property on Villard (from Grand to Willson) as those used for qualifying
for the rehabilitation program - it does not appear that any of the residents on
Villard could be considered "low and moderate" income.
We would therefore resist the use of the $25,000 amended in the 1976 grant
budget to cover any subsidy for paving since the residents do not fit the low
income category. We are hesitant to make any commitment of such funds pending
a decision in writing from HUD as to what they would suggest be done in this
situation. The properties have changed hands since the original decision was
made to follow such a plan. The stated policy of HUD is that 51% of the resi-
dents should be low and moderate income for street improvements to be assisted
by grant funds. Our reluctance to authorize any funding is encouraged to avoid
any liability for the City for misuse of grant funds.
Contact with HUD on this date reveals the impossibility of using any grant
funds in the paving of Villard since the residents or rather property owners do
not fit Section 8 guidelines.
The City Manager advised the Commission that the project was originally scheduled for I
paving, using Community Development Block Grant funds. The funds were to subsidize low- and
moderate-income families who would be assessed, but whose limited financial status would
have prohibited the project without the subsidy. Only those of low- and moderate-income
were to qualify for the subsidy; others would pay the normal amount. Criteria to determine
eligibility as low- and moderate-income would be the same as for the rehabilitation program
also funded with DCBG monies.
The City Manager recommended that the hearing be continued until written confirmation
has been received from HUD.
The Mayor said the hearing will be continued for a minimum period of one week, and
perhaps two.
