Decision - regarding revision of loan/grant financial guidelines for rehabilitation program
Having researched the grant guidelines for the Housi~g Rehabilitation Program, it was
brought back for a decision.
It was stated that, although HUD-dictated loan guidelines cannot be changed, the grant
guidelines can be altered locally. A tabulation was presented as to how the grant guidelines
might be revised at this time.
'-\00
J '~,.I
In addition, it was suggested that more funds be allocated for grants, and that perhaps the
program would be more successful with that revision as well. In researching the program it
was found that no ceiling was placed on the allocation for grants and loans, the total of which
would be $375,000. It was stated that no grants would exceed $5,000 per family. If the staff
suggested that $100,000 should be allocated to grants, this would allow twenty families at
least to be recipients under that program. I
The City Manager advised the Commission that something should be done to encourage the
dissemination of these funds, and recommended that the gUidelines be revised and that $100,000
should be allocated to grants.
It was moved by Commissioner Vollmer, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the grant guide-
lines for the Housing Rehabilitation program be revised as set forth in full:
According to HUD, the loan guidelines set for Montana (listed below) are
unalterable - however, it is our understanding that grant guidelines can
be set by the locality.
Household Size Gross Income
1 $ 9,050
2 10 ,350
3 11,650
4 12,900
5 13,750
6 14,550
7 15,350
8 or more 16,150
The present and proposed guidelines for issuing grants is contained
below. It is hoped that the raise in these grant guidelines will allow
more applicants to participate in the program.
Household Size Present Proposed
1 $ 5,200 $ 6,788
2 5,950 7,763
3 6,700 8,738 I
4 7,450 9,675
5 8,050 10,322
6 8,650 10,913
7 9,250 11,513
8 or more 9,850 12,113
Proposed are from 30% to 22% of the present guidelines. It should be noted
if such program amendments are not made and we are not successful in appro-
priately expended the funds available to us ($353,000 balance), it will likely
have to be returned to HUD. Our program termination date is December, 1980.
We wish to advise the Commission of these circumstances and inform them of
the need to go to a larger grant program in order to assist those for whom
the benefit of the program was intended.
The motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commis-
sioner Vollmer, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Mathre, and Mayor Mac-
Nab; those voting No, none.
Exit Conference - regarding 1978-1979 audit
The City Manager said the Exit conference of the 1978-1979 Audit was scheduled for this
date. However, a copy of the audit had been sent to Helena, and they immediately sent a copy
to the news media and therefore, he did not know whether there was any point in having an Exit
conference with the Auditors.
Jim Brinkman of Holmes and Turner, and Dan Fenno of Veltkamp, Dore, and Company, appeared
before the Commission, to answer any questions that might arise.
Commissioner Stiff asked several questions in regard to the Audit which were answered by I
the two firms.
Discussion - regarding expanded functions of Auditing Committee
At the last meeting of the Auditing Committee, it was discussed that perhaps the committee
should function beyond the selection of an auditor. After an auditor is selected and retained,
and the report is drafted, the committee suggested that perhaps it should meet with the auditors
------~
**** 1. An Improvements Agreement regarding improvement, development, operation and
maintenance of the property be executed between the developer and the City
of Bozeman before final site plan approval is given. The Agreement is to
specifically include: all on-site improvements shown on all final plans
and specifications: and off-site improvements to include required fire hyd-
rants, sidewalks (north and west side) and boulevard landscaping.
2. Include on final site plans a Use Allocation and Density Distribution Table.
I Among other items noted in the Planned Unit Development requirements, the
table should indicate the percentage of property used for driveways and
parking stalls, landscaping, building site and lot area.
3. Stop signs should conform to design specifications found in the Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
4. The submitted plans indicate only one (1) external light source centrally
located in the parking lot. This appears to be an insufficient amount of
light, specifically for areas near the structures, driveways and entries.
Entries for handicapped units should be specifically reviewed for lighting
requirements. Also, elevation drawings of the light structures need to be
submitted. The drawings should indicate the direction and area of direct
illumination.
5. The final site plan's title block needs to include the legal description of
the property. Also, the adjacent properties' (inCluding property across
right-of-ways) zone classification and legal description need to be shown.
6. To clarify the type and physical characteristics of the exterior construction
materials, a sample of the masonry veneer needs to be submitted. The specifi-
cation book describes the masonry material as slump block concrete block, a
plain grey color. Also, the elevation drawings for buildings #2 and #3 need
to clearly label masonry veneer locations.
7. The plans indicate a four (4) foot wide sidewalk in the public right-of-way.
The residential standard is five (5) foot wide. The standard width needs to
appear on the final site plan.
8. Past reviews of this project have required a minimum number of parking spaces
on two (2) spaces per dwelling unit, a total of one hundred (100). The pres-
I ent plan has one hundred and one (101). The Zoning Commission and City Commis-
sion should note that off-street parking requirements for apartments are now
based on the number of bedrooms plus additional spaces for visitors. The new
criteria requires one hundred and thirty-six (136) spaces. The Planning Staff,
in preliminary review of the development, has indicated that the one hundred
(100) figure would be used.
9. Storage areas for recreational vehicles (boats, snowmobiles, etc.) need to be
provided on site. The storage areas need to be clearly marked for that pur-
pose. The storage area should not decrease the present number of off-street
parking spaces.
10. Parking lot design comments:
a. The final site plan will need to clearly indicate that small car parking
spaces will be identified with a sign permanently affixed immediately in
front of each space containing the notation "Compacts Only". Elevation
drawing of the sign is needed.
b. The aisle widths shown are twenty-five (25) feet wide, the off-street
parking regulations require twenty-six (26) feet wide aisles.
c. Six percent (6%) of the gross interior parking area is to be landscaped.
The percentage landscaped needs to be shown.
d. One (1) tree per five (5) parking spaces is needed. The trees need to
be located within the parking area, said area being founded by the extreme
points of the curb line including landscaped extensions into parking lot
but excluding approach driveways. Trees should be located within the park-
ing lot islands, which will need to be curbed and irrigated. Locating
trees within the islands may affect design and location of light fixtures.
I e. Caliper width of deciduous trees need to be shown in the plant legend on
sheet L-I. Mimimum size required is one and one-half (1.5) inch.
II. City garbage trucks are eight (8) feet wide. To allow convenient backing
maneuvering and prevent damage to the garbage enclosure, the width needs to
be widened from ten (10) to twelve (12) feet.
12. The elevation drawings need to clearly show height of the structures. ~1ax i mum
height allowed is thirty-two (32) feet.
~..- -~- -
489B
13. The Community Recreation Director and Planning Director need to review and
approve the Architect's drawings of the total lot area.
14. Elevation drawings showing how the three (3) transformer sites will be
screened need to be submitted.
15. Shrubs should be located near the structures as a landscape element.
16. All on-site and off-site improvements shall be completed by December 31, 1981. I
17. Three (3) copies of a final site plan containing all conditions, corrections,
and modifications recommended and approved by the City Commission shall be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Director prior to the issuance of a build-
ing permit for the project. One (1) signed copy shall be retained by the Plan-
ning Director; one (1) signed copy retained by the Building Official; one (1)
signed copy retained by the applicant.
18. The final plans include specifically the energy-saving and low-maintenance design
criteria sought by the City Commission.
19. The final plans include the changes required by the City Engineer and Fire Chief,
as noted in this report, and that the revised site plans be reviewed and approved
by the City Engineer and Fire Chief prior to issuance of a building permit. The
City Commission expressly incorporates the fifteen (15) items contained in the
Planning Staff's review list as part of the conditional approval.
