Progress report on land use facilitated meetin.cl program - Kathryn Strickland, Community Mediation
Center.
Planning Director Andy Epple distributed to the Commission a written update and a draft
brochure regarding the land use facilitated meeting program. He then reminded the Commission that
last fall, the Community Mediation Center (CMC) and the City staff brought forward a proposal to
apply for a grant to provide funding to work on a land use mediation and facilitation program. That
application was successful, and the City and CMC embarked on the project in January. To date, the
committee, comprised of representatives from the City, CMC and the Southwest Montana Building
Industry Association plus a citizen member, has met five times to develop a program. He noted that
07-30-2001
-3-
the grant expires in January 2002, by which time the committee hopes to have a pilot land use
facilitation program in place and ready to operate. He indicated that Kathryn Strickland is currently
trying to obtain a follow-up grant to fund implementation of the program. The purposes of the
program are (1) to prevent potential land use conflicts with facilitated meetings and (2) to address
perceived or existing land use conflicts with facilitated dialogues and/or mediation. He stressed that,
whenever possible, facilitated discussions early in the process are the preferred alternative, although
there may be instances where mediation is needed.
The Planning Director stated that this program is strictly voluntary, and the facilitated
discussions are to be sought by either the applicant or City staff. He indicated that this process is
preferable to trying to resolve differences between the applicant and neighbors "at 11:00 p.m. before
the Commission". He concluded his presentation by stating he has additional information that will
be distributed in next week's packet.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, the Planning Director stated that people can provide
written testimony when a project is being considered by the Development Review Committee and the
Design Review Board; and that is often when staff identifies potential problems or issues that could
be resolved through facilitated discussion.
Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, Ms. Kathryn Strickland identified the Wilson family
project and the Empire Building Supply project as recent applications that could possibly have
benefitted from this program.
Mayor Youngman stated she has been asked to write a support letter for the new grant
proposal and asked if she could sign that letter on behalf of the whole Commission; all of the
Commissioners indicated support.
Presentation re South 19th Avenue - Jason Giard, Montana Department of Transportation
Mr. Jason Giard, Montana Department of Transportation, gave a presentation on the proposed
improvements to the intersection of 19th Avenue and West Main Street, and identified needed
improvements on South 19th Avenue from its intersection with West Main Street to Kagy Boulevard
and possible future improvements to North 19th Avenue between West Main Street and Durston
Road.
Mr. Giard noted that the Montana Department of Transportation has identified the intersection
of 19th Avenue and West Main Street as the biggest bottleneck in Bozeman, as evidenced by traffic
backed up to West College Street and beyond during the busy times of the day and special events
on campus. He stated that the State applied for special air quality monies to improve the intersection,
and was successful in receiving 9700,000 for the project, which will result in a relatively tight budget
for the improvements. He indicated that the traffic flow through the intersection can be improved
with revised geometrics.
Mr. Giard reviewed the current geometrics of the intersection, which includes four lanes and
a left turn bay on both the east and west legs; four lanes plus a left turn lane and raised medians on
the north leg; and four lanes on the south leg of the intersection. Under the proposed improvements,
the south leg of the intersection is to be expanded to six lanes, with two straight through southbound
lanes, and two straight through, one left turn and one free right turn northbound lanes. The north leg
of the intersection is to be expanded to include a free right turn lane in addition to the two straight
through southbound lanes and left turn lane; and the median is to be narrowed to provide for a longer
left turn bay. The west leg of the intersection is to include a raised median almost to North 20th
Avenue and a double left turn lane as well as the two straight through lanes in both directions; and
the east leg of the intersection is to include a raised median to the easternmost entrances to the
Chevrolet dealership and the Ford dealership and a double left turn lane as well as the two straight
through lanes in both directions. Also, in conjunction with these improvements, all on-street parking
is to be eliminated, thus allowing for the reconfiguration within the existing paved area. In
07-30-2001
-4-
conjunction with these roadway changes, a new traffic signal is to be installed to control the
movements.
Mr. Giard reminded the Commission that the proposed changes previously included a raised
median on the south leg of the intersection, extending past West Babcock Street to preclude any left
turns at that intersection. A review of the intersections, however, has revealed a way to allow
westbound traffic on West Babcock Street to turn left onto South 19th Avenue through the
installation of a traffic signal that is timed to coordinate with the signal at West Main Street.
Mr. Jason Giard turned his attention to improvements to South 19th Avenue, noting that
several years ago, the City retained Thomas, Dean and Hoskins to design a five-lane roadway from
West Babcock Street to Kagy Boulevard. However, a couple of months ago, it came to his attention
that this Commission may be in favor of only a three-lane roadway. He indicated that the State's
Traffic Engineer, Don Dusek, analyzed that possibility and has made the determination that a three-
lane facility will not work well, due in large part to the intersection improvements to be constructed
at both West Main Street and West College Street. He noted that, at the last Transportation
Coordinating Committee meeting, they approved the submittal of an air quality grant application for
monies to fund the improvements at the intersection of South 19th Avenue and West College Street.
He then identified future signal improvements, including the installation of a permanent traffic signal
at the intersection of North 19th Avenue and West Beall Street and a possible signal at the
intersection of South 19th Avenue and West Koch Street.
Mr. Jason Giard gave a power point presentation showing the current roadways and the
intersection of 19th Avenue and West Main Street, both from the ground and the air. He stated that
a flush median was originally considered on South 19th Avenue; however, he noted that a raised
median with landscaped islands provides a refuge for pedestrians and has the effect of calming traffic.
He recognized that the raised median will preclude left turns from residences along the roadway onto
South 19th Avenue; however, he noted that traffic can switch directions at any of the breaks in the
median.
ReSponding to Mr. Dave Crawford, Thomas, Dean and Hoskins, Mr. Giard confirmed that raised
medians must be lighted, which results in added initial costs as well as continued maintenance costs.
As Mr. Giard showed pictures of the existing street right-of-way, he indicated that it is
preferable to locate the sidewalk at the back of the right-of-way, behind a wide boulevard that could
include trees. He recognized that, for a majority of the distance along these streets, the sidewalk is
set close to the street and, because of the costs involved, relocating those sidewalks is not a part of
the improvements to be undertaken at this time.
Mr. Giard concluded by indicating that the Montana Department of Transportation has retained
Thomas, Dean and Hoskins to do the design work. He noted that the MDoT now needs a decision
from the City on the improvements to South 19th Avenue, stating that if a four-lane facility is not
constructed, it will substantially change the design of the intersection at West Main Street.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Giard stated the 19th Avenue/VVest Main Street
intersection improvements are to be slated for construction in 2003; and if air quality monies can be
obtained for the South 1 9th Avenue/West College Street intersection improvements, it may also be
completed in 2003. He indicated that the driving lanes have been designed at 12 feet wide,
narrowing to 10~ or 11 feet at the intersection.
City Engineer Craig Brawner stated that the newest urban standards allow for 11 -foot driving
lanes. He stated that the right-of-way for South 19th Avenue is narrow for a minor arterial, and
suggested that using the narrower width will gain a small amount of space for additional landscaping.
Responding to questions from Commissioner Brown, Mr. Giard stated that rumble strips have
not been used to protect bicycles in an urban setting. He noted that a narrow configuration, including
a 6-inch rumble strip located 3 inches behind the white line, has been used effectively on rural roads
and could be used in an area where space is limited.

Commissioner Brown and Commissioner Smiley both expressed support for a five-lane format
on South 19th Avenue, even though they would prefer a narrower roadway.
The Mayor thanked Mr. Giard for his presentation.
Continued public hearing - reouest for impact fee credits in light of modification of Condition No. 8
of approval for Kagy Crossroads Subdivision - C&H Enfiineering for David Cecich (southwest corner
of intersection of South 19th Avenue and Remington Way) (P-9751A)
This was the time and place set for the continued public hearing on the request for
modification of Condition No. 8 of approval for the Kagy Crossroads Subdivision under Application
No. P-9751A, as requested by C&H Engineering for David Cecich, requiring the approval of cost
sharing prior to installation of certain water mains. The subject property is located at the southwest
corner of the intersection of South 19th Avenue and Remington Way.
Mayor Youngman reopened the public hearing.
Associate Planner Chris Saunders presented the staff report. He reminded the Commissioners
that, two weeks ago, they heard and approved a request to modify Condition No. 8 for the Kagy
Crossroads Subdivision, which then allowed the Commission to offer the developer credits for the
oversized water main. He noted that, in light of questions and issues raised during that hearing, the
Commission continued the public hearing to give time for research and discussion. He reported that
staff has worked with the applicant, and forwarded a recommendation for approval, subject to slightly
revised conditions. He indicated the applicant is now agreeable to accepting credits as offered, and
the City will work on procedural items to address his remaining concerns.
Mr. David Cecich, applicant, indicated concurrence with the staff report.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Youngman closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Smiley, seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff, that the
Commission approve the issuance of water impact fee credits to David Cecich for the Kagy
Crossroads Subdivision, subject to the following conditions:
1. The credit will not be paid as cash.
The credit will be made available as a value of $91,710.00 against which the
credit holder may draw to reduce water impact fee payments as individual water
connection permits are sought as detailed in Section 3.24.100.E. of the
Bozeman Municipal Code.
If the final determination of Cause No. DV-99-71 is that impact fees or impact
fee credits cannot be charged or credited by the City of Bozeman, then no
impact fee credit will be available to the applicant under this award.
,.
The applicant shall agree in writing to the above-listed conditions of approval
prior to the credits becoming effective.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Smiley,
Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Frost and Mayor Youngman; those
voting No, none.

Discussion re extraterritorial jurisdiction of buildin~q codes
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo from City Manager Johnson, dated June
22, forwarding the County Commission's request for City comments regarding the implementation
of Senate Bill No. 242 and information analyzing the bill.
City Manager Johnson noted that in a letter dated June 4, the County Commission asked the
City Commission to decertify its building inspection program in the extraterritorial jurisdiction. The
Commission asked staff to research the matter, and staff is now prepared to forward the results of
that research and a suggested response to the County.
Fire Marshal Chuck Winn gave a brief overview of SB242, which limits the City's building
inspection program to the city limits. He noted that, since 1976, the City has enforced building codes
up to 3 ~ miles outside city limits; and the boundaries of that area have not changed even though the
city limits have expanded. He stated that the City's Building Inspection Division has provided
complete inspection services, including building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical; however, under
the State's program, only five-plexes and commercial buildings will receive complete inspection
services while single-family residences through four-plexes will receive only electrical and plumbing
inspections. This leaves the foundation, framing and HVAC on those units with no inspections. He
concluded by stating the City has made a standing offer to continue providing those services in the
extraterritorial jurisdiction on a contract basis with the County, for the costs of the permits only.
Chief Building Official Neil Poulsen distributed a sheet showing the numbers of permits issued,
not including roofing permits, and the costs of those permits issued in the "donut" area for the first
eleven months of Fiscal Year 2001. He briefly summarized that information, noting that 42 single-
family residences, plus remodels, commercial projects and barns/garages, generated a total of
$68,359.76 in permit fees.
The Chief Building Official noted that, during a previous legislative session, a bill was passed
mandating that the fees collected may only cover the costs incurred, so the City is currently collecting
only 50 percent of the allowable fees. He stated that during the last legislative session, 25 percent
of the City's revenues and workload were in the jurisdictional area; that percentage has decreased to
13 percent for Fiscal Year 2001.
The Chief Building Official stated that SB242 is cumbersome and hard to understand, and his
department is relying on the State's Building Codes Bureau to interpret the bill's provisions. He noted
that the attorney for that bureau has recently determined that, if there is no vote, no hearing and no
petition, the City's jurisdiction will end at the end of the year. The Chief Building Official expressed
concern that this bill represents a big step backward because of the decreased inspection program and
attendant public safety issues.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Chief Building Official Poulsen stated that decertification
of the City's program in the county will only hasten removal of the building inspection program, which
will happen on December 31 if the County does nothing.
Responding to Mayor Youngman, the Chief Building Official indicated that, if the County held
a hearing and acted to take over the jurisdictional area, the City could decertify its program before the
end of the year.
Commissioner Smiley distributed copies of the Opinion and Order in Richard Rossignol v. City
of Missoula, dated May 8, 2001, and a letter from Gregory Petesch, Director of Legal Services, to
Speaker of the House McGee, dated July 13, 2001, providing his analysis of SB242. She indicated
that these copies were provided by Steve White.
Mr. Steve White, 3800 Blackwood Road, reviewed some of the information in these two
documents, suggesting that the retroactive clause in SB242 means that, as of May 1, cities no longer
have the authority to conduct building inspections in the extraterritorial area. He then characterized
SB242 as a good bill, noting that it allows for the creation of building inspection areas within the
county, rather than requiring a County Commission to enact the program for the entire county.
07-30-2001
-7-
Responding to questions from Mayor Youngman, Fire Marshal Chuck Winn stated that SB242
does not directly impact the City at this time; however, he has been contacted by the chiefs of three
rural departments that will be affected by it. He recognized that, while there are good provisions in
SB242, it does result in uninspected dwellings; and 90 percent of deaths from fire occur in residential
units. He stressed that the building codes do not impact the good builders, but they do catch the "fly
by night" contractors and require that they correct deficiencies. He noted that, when the City
considers annexation of an area with homes that have not been subject to the inspection program,
it could potentially require some destruction of a home, such as cutting holes in the sheetrock, to
ensure that it has been properly constructed.
Responding to Commissioner Brown, Mr. White stated that, in the meetings he has attended,
the County has expressed no intention of implementing a building inspection program for the existing
extraterritorial area. He suggested, however, that the County Commission would probably look
favorably upon a petition to create a smaller inspection area.
Chief Building Official Poulsen stated that he will be meeting with representatives from the
Southwest Montana Building Industry Association later this week regarding a draft interlocal
agreement for building inspection within the "donut" area, as prepared by County staff.
Many of the Commissioners voiced concern that it appears the County Commission is asking
the City Commission to makes its decisions, and determined that they do not wish to take any action
at this time.
Commissioner Frost suggested that the Commission review its annexation policy to determine
if changes need to be made in light of losing the jurisdictional area.
It was moved by Commissioner Kirchhoff, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that the City not
move to decertify its building inspection program until the County has put into place a building code
system for that area now under the City's jurisdiction. The motion carried by the following Aye and
No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Frost,
Commissioner Smiley and Mayor Youngman; those voting No, none.

area that he plans to develop first, which means the flat area on top and the area where the dirt is
piled are not available for the course. He suggested that a miscommunication between the two
parties could have resulted in the assessment that the temporary disc golf course won't be allowed
on the site·
