Hearing - Proppsed Area Subdivision Regulations This was the time and place set for a public hearing to be held jointly with the Board of County Commissioners, Gallatin County, Montana. and the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, Montana in the City Commission Room for the purpose of reviewing the proposed Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations which have been prepared pursuant to the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act (Section 11-3859 through 11-3876. R.C.M.. 1947). The Planning Director stated that if adopted. the regulations would set forth uniform standards for the division of land, survey monumentation. and the form and content of records of survey for all lands within the established planning jurisdiction of the Bozeman City-County Planning Board. Many interested persons were present to discuss the proposed area subdivision regulations and ask the following questions: Lonnie Beck - Was concerned about the cost of road paving to lots of one acre or greater in size and pointed out that this would include all lots outside of the City becuase of the existing zoning requirements. Ken Nordvedt - Questioned whether a pavement requirement was a response to public demand. He also questioned the planning staff's cost figures on road improvement. His experience in the develop- ment of roads showed that a good gravel road could be built for $6.00 a running foot in comparison with the $18.00 figure presented by the planning staff. Also, the cost to maintain gravel on a yearly basis would be approximately a nickel per running foot. which would be cheaper than the interest cost associated with pavement. He concluded by stating that it would be a waste of Commercial resources as compared to an alternative and suggested an amendment to the regulations which would require all lots of less than an acre to be paved and would require all lots of greater than an acre to be paved unless a property owners' association were created. In this case. a gravel road meeting subdivision standards would be allowed as maintained by the association. Jim Paugh - Suggested that the property owners' association or some other instrument be created where there are fences bordering a development in order that the fences would be maintained in accord- ance with Montana custom. Glen Bus - Questioned the requirement that prohibits the sale or offer to sell a property in a subdivision until improvements have been taken care of. He suggested that the developer should be permitted to start marketing lots prior to completion of the improvements. Another point brought out by Mr. Bus was that, in his opinion. the regulations did not take into account individual septic systems and asked that the environmental assessment include a provision explaining their potential use. Roger Smith - Gave support to earlier comments regarding the high cost of improvements to sub- division lots and particularly pointed out the high cost of lots of the five-acre and greater size. Jack Greenway - Also presented testimony in opposition to a pavement requirement and objected to the requirement which prohibited the offering for sale of lots where arrangements for the install- ation of improvements had not been made. Mike Sears - As a representative of local consumers was present and felt that if developers were to install roads now, it would save unexpected and added costs to consumers at a later date. 2411 During the discussion. the Planning Director explained each question raised. Following the question and answer period, the hearing was closed. and the matter was tabled for further study by the Commission and staff.
