BMC.. on property located at the intersection ofStorv Mill Road and Bridl!er Canyon Drive - Land West Consultinl! LLC.. for Edl!efield. LLC.: Paul RUl!heimer: Peter RUl!heimer: and Marv Wictor. (Z.0602l) This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the application for CUP with four relaxations to Title 18, BMC, requested by Land West Consulting LLC., for Edgetield LLC., Paul Rugheimer, Peter Rugheimer, and Mary Wictor, under Application No. Z-06021. The subject property is located at the northeast of the intersection of Story Mill Road and Bridger Canyon Drive. Public hearing Mayor Krauss opened the public hearing. 04-17-2006 Page 3 Contract Planner Lanette Windemaker presented the staff report. She noted that staff has reviewed the application in light of the applicable criteria and staff's findings are contained in the staff report. Staff has forwarded a recommendation of conditional approval. She noted that this subdivision has a density of 5.7 dwelling units per acre, and looking at how it fits into the neighborhood and the adjoining area, they believe it will fit well. There is one unresolved issue. If Boylan Road is moved to the north, she wants to add a condition to allow additional lots to be created after moving the road. She concluded by stating that the applicants have submitted an alternative proposal. Responding to Mayor Krauss, Ms. Windemaker noted Creekwood does have some open space that doesn't have lots backed into. She also noted that there is a -25 feet of open space in between the lots. Van Bryant, Studio Architects, noted that like Legends I, this has been done by collecting owners and neighbors together. The neighbors were concerned with connectivity to Bridger Creek. The other was the understanding that at some point they may have service failures and need to tie into city services. The owners primary objective was the protection of the creek corridor. The development team had goals that went along with what was created in the Creekwood development. One was the placement of the park; the Legends II park was placed next to it, so it could become a larger area. Another was that the road connect Creekwood and Legends I. He noted they were advised to look at the Boylan Road layout and as a result there are more, smaller lots in this plan. He noted that there is no open-space-access requirement. He noted some other positive attributes. One is that 41 % of the development is parks or open space, and trail connections from Bridger Creek to Legends I. There is a master plan park area, with soccer field, playground, restrooms, and parking space. A PUD project requires 20 points to compensate for relaxations, this projects has 110 points, and all space is dedicated to open space. Responding to Cr. Becker, Mr. Bryant noted the original intent was to have more buffer between the buildings. There is a sidewalk in the open space, and when it narrows, the sidewalk goes to each building. Cr. Becker noted the pinch points that occur in Legends I, where the full 25-foot corridor wasn't in place. He noted that, looking at this layout, it looks like there are a couple of pinch points. He will request that a condition be provided to require a full 25 feet of space. Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Mr. Bryant noted they have Boylan Drive and also have street loading parldng on either side of the street, in the alley configuration. By adding the open space along Boylan Road, there will be more room for parking. Mayor Krauss noted this isn't a standard subdivision, and why they went with the green spaces and why that fit the idea versus what they could have done without relaxations. Mr. Bryant noted that the key was to listen to the neighbors to the south of the property and how much they enjoyed the Bridger Creek access and protection. He stated that it's tough to try and meet the 04-17-2006 Page 4 cities expectation of density with the constraints with this subdivision. This is a hybrid, and they have tried to create a sense of community and allow neighbors to the south to move up to the creek. It was a genesis of trying to solve with a challenging piece of infill property. The following people spoke at the public hearing: Cathy Gamble, 2205 Bridger Drive Kain Gamble, 13 Hitching Post Road Ted Lang, Gallatin Valley Land Trust Paul Rugheimer, neighbor Shane Cheney, 505 Alamosa Lane Mr. Bryant, noted that with additional neighbor comments he hasn't much to add. The one thing that isn't shown is additional access for where there will be a clubhouse and controlled parking. Responding to Cr. Jacobson, Ms. Windemaker noted there has been flooding along this crcek, but she's not sure if it has flooded in this area. She added that the next application deals with the flood plain. Responding to Cr. Becker, Ms. Windemaker noted they were just throwing out an alternate proposal with how they could address Condition Four. She noted that there are also about 20-21 RSL lots in the plan, and reminded the Commission that CAHAB has conditions in the plat for cash-in-lieu ofRSL requirements. Commission Discussion Cr. Kirchhoff noted that he thinks we are looking at subdivision that's ok in some respects in some areas. He was with the Commission that approved Creekwood and the same Commission that saw the pre- application. He doesn't think the redraw really works, and thinks the previous Commission meant they wanted the street to be the corridor between the built environment and the natural corridor. What it comes down to is what really matters is separation and control of access. As long as there is good separation it doesn't really matter what it is. That might be preferable to some and not to others. He stated that this is one of those times in which the Commission and the applicant don't agree. He stated that he would like to see no lots to the north of Boylan Road and have the road pulled along the open space, and they can control the entryway with a fence and kiosk. He concluded by stating that he isn't satisfied with the applicant's redraw. Cr. Jacobson said that she agrees with Cr. Kirchhoff. She likes the plan south of Boylan Road and would like to live there, because she likes the fact that this encourages neighborhood engagement. She added that she can see why they would want to build close to the stream corridor, because that is an amenity, but thinks it would be a jewel to the county if the area north of Boylan Road were left as open space and trails so the trails wouldn't be squeezed right up to the creek. She noted that when she was out there she saw a deer and then she saw a dog was chasing it: there is interference with the wildlife and nobody is living there now. She stated that moving the road doesn't make a difference with the wildlife habitat. 04~17-2006 Page 5 Cr, Becker noted that he sat through the hearings in October. In terms of specific direction, he thinks the plan meets the requests that were asked of the developer's team. He stated concern for an apparent lack of transparent egress, and the development seemed to be promoting private space. He believes the second attempt addresses those concerns and provides for an alternative that is conducive to community ideals with respect to open space. His only concern is the pinch points, but is supportive of the second layout. Cr. Rupp noted that the applicant should be proud of the points total. He stated that he doesn't have a problem with the yards, greenway, etc., but would prefer to have both street and sidewalks. He noted that he doesn't think it's very friendly but understands the tradeoff. He also noted that the trail corridor seems to be too narrow, and would like to err on the side of open space. Mayor Krauss noted that Lot 38, 24, and 19 seem to impinge upon the corridor, those three lots are the ones that seem to need to be trimmed back to keep pinch points from occurring. He stated that he thinks the relaxations that are being requested are the result of an innovative design. He noted that they have an innovative design that scores 100+ points in open space. He stated that the original design, which can be addressed by modifying three lots, ties the subdivision to the east with the parks to the west. The intent of the UDO was to have urban parks which are designed to urban standards. He stated that he supports the original proposed plan, Plan A, and likes the GVL T and their statement about pedestrian and bike corridors. He stated that the park is 100% fronted, and the open space is generous and dedicated to the public and we will have a skiing corridor and a recreation corridor. He likes that the neighbors support it. Cr. Rupp noted he's not in favor of either option, but it seems that Cr. Kirchhoff's proposal has the possibility to create the corridor that he's looking for. Cr. Jacobson noted that she doesn't think that's an ideal trail system for the public to be walking that close to somebodies back yard. She noted that the alternative plan presented, Plan B, with the road moved to the north, only provides a boundary to the open space on a very small part of it, and the buffer to the creek really isn't there. Mr. Bryant assumed that if the road goes completely to the north, there will be some reconfiguration. He noted that they are happy to add a condition that requires they meet with staff to have a minimum allowance for the trail corridor. Director Epple noted that staff had recognized that on the far east where Boylan Road meets Creekwood, the road has to go where it is because of connecting. Mr. Bryant noted they would like to go with Plan A, because it's the most supported plan by neighbors and represents the most agency input, and because he thinks it follows the topography better. Cr. Kirchhoff noted that there is only one Bridger Creek, and once it's done, it's done. People will come and go, but the lot lines will stay. He noted that all of these design elements are design choices. He stated that he hopes the developer can respect the spirit and the intent or moving the road to open the corridor up. He also stated that he wants to allow the easternmost lots where this meets Creekwood. Decision 04-17-2006 Page 6 It was moved by Cr. Kirchhoff, seconded by Cr. Jacobson, to approve the alternative plan as presented by the applicant for PUD CUP - Application for Conditional Use Permit with four relaxations to Title IS, BMC., on property located at the intersection of Story Mill Road and Bridger Canyon Drive as requested by Land West Consulting LLC., for Edgefield, LLC.; Paul Rugheimer; Peter Rugheimer; and Mary Wictor, subject to the following conditions: 1.

Mayor Krauss opened the public hearing. Contract Planner Windemaker presented the staff report. She noted that staff has reviewed the application in light of the applicable criteria and staff's findings are contained in the staff report. Staff has forwarded a recommendation of conditional approval. She noted that because they are not building the street north to the property line at this time, they do not have 100% right-of-way surrounding the park. She noted that she wants to change Condition 4 to match the previous hearing, Z-06021. She mentioned that CAHAB recommended cash-in-lieu ifthe developer wants to at the rate of one buildable to three required. She stated that there was discussion that these lots will be pricey and if they could get funding they may be able to buy more lots than what they could get in this subdivision. Responding to the Commission, Engineer Bob Murray noted that the intersection of Bridger Canyon Drive and Rouse will have to be signalized before they can get building permits.

Instead of dedicating a minimum of 10% of the buildable net acreage to Restricted Size Lots (RSLs), the subdivider may pay a cash-in-lieu fee to the City the equivalent of 1 buildable RSL to 3 required RSLs. The payment shall be calculated as the appraised value per square foot of developed land within that specific subdivision at a time not sooner than 30 days prior to the time of final plat approval. 20. The covenant allowing aggregation of lots shall be removed, and the covenants shall specifically state that no lots may be aggregated so as to reduce the number of buildable lots. 21. Stormwater Master Plan: A. A Stormwater Master Plan for the subdivision for a system designed to remove solids, silt, oils, grease and other pollutants from the runoff from the private and public streets and all lots must be provided to and approved by the City Engineer. 04-17-2006 Page 13 B.

Stormwater ponds for mnoff generated by the subdivision (e.g., general lot runoff, public or private streets, common open space, parks, etc.) shall not be located on easements within privately owned lots. D. While the runoff from the individual lots will be dependent on the intensity of use on each lot, the maximum sizing of thc storm retention facilities for each lot will be established based on maximum site development. Final facility sizing may be rcviewed and reduced during design rcview of the FSP for each lot. 22. Plans and specifications and a detailed design report for water and sewer main extensions, storm sewer and the public street, prepared by a Professional Engineer, shall be provided to and approved by the City Engineer and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. The Applicant shall also provide Professional Engineering services for construction inspection, post-construction certification, and preparation of mylar record drawings.

Rupp. Discussion reeardine DRC Responding to citizen comment, Mr. Epple noted that there are no minutes from the DRC because it's not an advisory board. Mayor Krauss noted that there is a public right to know about what's going on in those meeting. They have a right to know about what's coming out of that and how things are coming forward in there. Cr. Jacobson agreed with the mayor in the interest in transparency. Director Epple noted that what the Commissioners are getting from the DRC represents more than what they would see in minutes. He also noted that there is not a record at the DRC because the public doesn't comment. Director Epple noted that DRC isn't a citizen board, it's a staff board giving technical advise. He concluded that they don't expect the advisory board members to provide that kind of report. Acting City Manager Arkell noted that the ordinance requires the staff report that is recieved should contain the information that would be contained in minutes. Mayor Krauss noted that the discussion that takes place by staff isn't reflected, just individual view points, and he thinks we should consider this more. 04-17-2006 Page 17 Certificate of Approoriateness to allow demolition of existinl! 720.sQuare-foot. 1.storv. detached earal!e and construction of a 720-square-foot. l1f2-storv earaee with second level accessory dwellinl! unit. with deviations to allow accessory dwellinl! unit on lot less than 60 feet wide. to allow accessory structure I!reater than 600 SQuare feet to encroach into reQuired 20-foot rear yard setback. and to allow the accessory structure to exceed the heil!ht of the principle structure - Art Albin for Sallv Hannon. 506 North Tracv A venue (Z-06005) This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the application for Certificate of Appropriateness to allow demolition of existing 720-square- foot, 1 ~story, detached garage and construction of a 720-square-foot, 1 Y2~Story garage with second level accessory dwelling unit at 506 North Tracy A venue, with deviations to allow accessory dwelling unit on lot less than 60 feet wide, to allow accessory structure greater than 600 square feet to encroach into required 20-foot rear yard setback, and to allow the accessory structure to exceed the height ofthe principle structure, requested by Art Albin for Sally Hannon. Continued Public hearing Mayor Krauss rcopcned the continued public hearing. Planner Bristor presentcd the staff report. She noted that staff has reviewed the application in light of the applicable criteria and staff's findings are contained in the staff report. Staff has forwardcd a recommendation of conditional approval. Planner Bristor noted that the detached garage is a non-contributing structure. She noted that the Planning Staff recommends conditional approval for the deviation allowing a structure in less than the minimum lot width, but denial for the other two conditions. Responding to Cr. Becker, Ms. Bristor noted that the revised garage is more in compliance than the existing structure. Art Albin, contractor representing the applicant, noted that he would like to build this garage, and he thinks it's a good addition to the neighborhood. He added that the existing structure looks poor and wasn't built well. Responding to Cr. Rupp, Mr. Albin noted the accessory dwelling unit is requested to provide for rental income, which would help pay for the improvements. The following people spoke at the public hearing: Melissa Todd, 512 North Tracy Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Ms. Bristor noted the square footage ofthe accessory dwelling living unit is maxed out at 600 square feet. 04-17-2006 Page 18 Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Ms. Bristor noted that the accessory building nceds to be dropped down to where it is at least five inches shorter than the existing house to make sure that the accessory building is smaller in scale than the principle building. Ms. Bristor noted that this application provides the possibility of an affordable unit on the back yard. Commission Discussion Director Epple noted that this is a big change from a few years ago when we were seeing subordinate structures being six feet taller than the main building. Cr. Bcckcr noted he appreciates the sense of scale, and it makes sense that there is that scale, bccause it's a rental. Cr. Kirchhoff noted that this structure is modest and not inappropriate to the main structure. Hc added that he doesn't see the problem with the structure being where it was planned, and will support the motion. Responding to Cr. Jacobson, Ms. Bristor stated that the garagc will probably house one car with storage. Director Epple noted if the majority of the Commissioners want to have the garage where it was originally depicted, they can do that. Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Ms. Bristor noted that we are looking at a very odd way to enter the garage. She added that if the Commission wants to change the position of the garage, she would hope they would address how to orient the driveway configuration, but if we orient the garage to enter off the alley, there isn't adequate backing distance.

Rupp, to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness to allow demolition of existing nO-square-foot, I-story, detached garage and construction of a 720-square-foot, 1 Y2-StOry garage with second level accessory dwelling unit at 506 North Tracy A venue, with a single deviation to allow an accessory dwelling unit on a lot less than 60 feet wide, as requested by Art Albin for Sally Hannon, subject to the following conditions: 1.
