presented for property owner Brian Cattin, also at the table (see Attachment B).
David and Scott reminded board of last year’s sign/lighting/sidewalk work (approved at
10/13/15 board meeting) at Gallatin Valley Furniture Carpet 1. Jeff asked Nick if
submitted to planning office and yes, conditional approval received in August; just
resubmitted last week with the slight line item change.
Discussion. Pedestrian experience improved, lighting easement received –with these
comments Scott noted he was open to awarding something to this project. Brian said it
took a leap of faith in agreeing to working with the board on the lighting easements and
sign updates done last year, i.e. cart before the horse as far as their planning timeline was
concerned. Scott reminded the board we did similar with Universal Athletics site. Krauss
noted staying on N7 should be applauded and asked Brian to rehash how they decided to
stay and remodel. Carl said this is what we’re looking for; Josh added it is a large
property.
Carl motioned approval of $50K grant; Andrew seconded. All in favor. Nick closed by
saying bids close end of February.
