Claims
It was moved by Commissioner Krauss, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that the
Commission approve the Consent Items as listed, and authorize and direct the appropriate persons to
complete the necessary actions. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye
being Commissioner Krauss, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Hietala
and Mayor Cetraro; those voting No, none.
Reiect all proposals received in response to the reauest for proposals for salellease of the StOry
Mansion
Commissioner Hietala stated he had requested that this item be removed from the consent items
to give the Commission an opportunity to consider a revised offer from Mr. Delaney that includes all cash.
He noted that a copy of the written proposal was distributed just prior to the meeting.
Commissioner Krauss noted that the original proposal, however, does not meet the criteria in the
request for proposals because it includes the construction of three new houses on the site.
Commissioner Kirchhoff noted the Commission has no proposal to consider at this time.
City Manager Kukulski noted that he has discussed the request for proposals process with legal staff
at length. Since none of the responses meets the criteria set forth in the request for proposals, since none
of the proposals were complete and since one proposal was received well after the deadline and has not
been considered in the review process, legal counsel has advised that this process be completed and that
a new process be started. He then noted that, in light of Commission discussion at last week's meeting,
staff is prepared to proceed with a new request for proposals in May. He suggested that Mr. Delaney's
revised proposal could be submitted at that time, for consideration through the normal process.
FOllowing discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner
Kirchhoff, that the Commission concur in staff's recommendation that all responses to the current request
for proposals for the Story Mansion be rejected and that staff be directed to prepare a second request for
proposals for distribution in May. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye
being Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Krauss and Mayor Cetraro; those
voting No being Commissioner Hietala.

Award bid - new Bozeman Public Library in the maximum orice of $1 0.500.000 oer soreadsheet from
bid ooenina on March 23. 2005
Commissioner Krauss noted he had requested this item be removed from the consent items for a
variety of reasons. He is concerned about the proposed decrease in the contingency to bring the project
within budget. He finds the $61,265 contingency in the spreadsheet unacceptable and wants the
contingency increased to the $260,000 in the original estimate, noting even that is low for a $10.5 million
project. Second, he asked that the Foundation turn over all of the monies it has collected within thirty days
after ground breaking and that any new monies collected be turned over to the City within thirty days so that
those monies can be used toward funding the construction costs. He also requested evidence of continued
fundraising efforts on behalf of the project. He noted the City is facing many uncertainties about how the
general fund is to be repaid and asked for a review of that commitment.
Mr. Tony Martel, Martel Construction, stated that when the bids were received and the bid summary
created, a contingency of $260,000 was proposed to cover unforeseen costs. To meet the mandate of a
$10,500,000 project, however, the amount in the contingency was lowered to $61,000; and his intent is to
negotiate with some of the sub-contractors over the next thirty days to lower those bids and capture
$200,000 to fully fund the contingency. He noted that the monies set aside for furniture, furnishings and
equipment won't be spent for over a year and suggested that those monies could possibly be used to fund
the contingency during construction. He concluded by noting that after all negotiations have been
completed and the costs set, Martel Construction will be prepared to enter into a contract with the City for
construction of the new library.
Responding to Commissioner Krauss, Mr. Martel stated that over a year ago, the Bozeman Public
Library signed a contract with Martel Construction for this project. The next step is to sign the second part
of the contract, which guarantees that the project will be constructed at a maximum cost of $1 0,500,000 plus
the alternate for the LEED portion, which is a photovoltaic (solar) system. He noted that this contract puts
the burden on his company to provide the project within the maximum cost. He stated that, if the
Commission approves this agenda item, the second part of the contract can be executed as early as
tomorrow.
Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, Mr. Martel stated the furniture, furnishings and equipment
will not be needed until the end of the project, and can be purchased six to nine months before the new
building is open. He then indicated that the maximum price can be exceeded only for unforeseen conditions
or if the owner increases the scope of the work in some manner.
Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, City Manager Kukulski stated the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality has signed off on the area where the new library is to be constructed but has not
signed off on the entire parcel. He noted there is a separate $200,000 contingency to deal with the
possibility of additional clean up that may be needed on the remainder of the site and stressed the
importance of that contingency not becoming part ofthe library project or its contingency.
Responding to comments from Commissioner Hietala, Mr. Martel stated the LEED portion of the
project is covered through other funds, including a grant and local match being made by a private individual.
Commissioner Kirchhoff observed that, no matter how the contractor tries to increase the
contingency, the result is to take away something else or change a material listed.
Mr. Martel stated this process allows him to revisit every proposal and determine if any of the bids
is the result of confusion during the bid process and needs to be adjusted downward. He also noted that
some of the costs can be reduced through a value engineering process.
Mr. Jerry Bancroft, Library Board of Trustees, stated that the bids were within the 7 -percent
acceptable limit; and efforts are now being undertaken to negotiate the costs down to the $10,500,000
maximum. He then stressed that it is in Martel Construction's best interests to rebuild the contingency,
since they are committing to complete the project for a maximum amount.
Commissioner Krauss stressed that, as a condition of starting the project, the City must receive the
monies collected by the Foundation to date and must have a commitment to continue fundraising.

Ms. Wendy Bay Lewis, representing the Foundation, stated that since 2002, they have undertaken
a capital campaign to assure this project will be constructed. She assured the Commission that the
Foundation is well on its way to raising nearly $6 million, with the largest portion of that being in private
funds. She stated that, as of today, they have $4,850,000 in deliverable funds. She noted that six to eight
families have pledged amounts of $1 00,000 or more, with those pledges to be paid over a five-year period.
She stressed that many of the pledges are being made not only because of the public library, but because
it is viewed as the centerpiece of historic downtown Bozeman, is an economic development project, and
provides a civic plaza.
Ms. Bay Lewis stated that the Foundation currently serves nearly 400 donors in a fiduciary manner.
She acknowledged that most of the donations have been in the form of pledges, signing a personal
agreement to pay the monies over five years starting in 2002 and ending in 2006. The Foundation has also
created a payment schedule that includes investments in ten of the twelve banks in Bozeman and
investments in laddered certificates of deposit and local brokerages to earn the best interest rates possible.
With those investments, the monies are accessible only at certain times and, as a result, she and former
Director of Finance Miral Gamradt developed an intricate payment schedule. She noted that, if the
Commission wishes, the Foundation can commit to transferring $200,000 per month during the construction
period along with the $500,000 donation that will be received if groundbreaking occurs by June 1. She
indicated that the $200,000 monthly transfer can begin as early as April 30 and then on the first of each
month thereafter. She stressed that the Foundation's first responsibility is to protect the donor funds, and
voiced a commitment to continue fundraising to the $6 million level.
Commissioner Krauss reminded the Library Board of Trustees and the Foundation that when the
construction costs go in the hole, the project will be charged interest.
Responding to Commissioner Hietala, Ms. Wendy Bay Lewis stated the Foundation makes reports
to the Library of Trustees at the monthly meetings and files those reports with the Director of Finance. She
will also provide any information that the Commission requests.
Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, Ms. Bay Lewis stated the Foundation is committed to raising
$5,850,000 and noted she is personally working toward the $6 million mark. She then noted that she
believes raising $1 million during the construction period can be easily accomplished.
Commissioner Kirchhoff stressed his interest in ensuring that this project does not hold any
unforeseen items that raise the costs, citing other recent City projects that have exceeded budgeted
amounts.
Mr. Ron Farmer, Library Board of Trustees, stated Martel Construction has committed to bringing
the project in at $10.5 million. The first source of funds is to be through the fundraising efforts of the
Foundation. The most recent cash flow projections suggest that the deficit will be $862,250, which they
intend to cover through additional fundraising efforts. If that is not successful, the next option is to request
a small bond issue to cover the difference and, if that fails, the Library will sacrifice approximately $69,000
of its operations budget in each of the next twenty years to cover that deficit.
Responding to Commissioner Krauss, Mr. Farmer confirmed that those figures are based on
revenues from sale of the excess parcels of City property at the East Main Street site.
Following discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Krauss, seconded by Commissioner
Youngman, that the Commission approve award of the bid for the new library building in the maximum
amount of $10,500,000, contingent upon the following: (1) that Martel Construction bring the contingency
up to $260,000, exclusive of the reserve for furniture, fixtures and equipment (FFE) and the contingency
reserve for clean-up; (2) that the Foundation continue its fundraising commitment to the $5,850,000 level;
(3) that the Foundation release $200,000 each month to the City, beginning April 30, to cover the costs of
construction; and (4) that the $500,000 payment from the anonymous donor be released to the City prior
to groundbreaking. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Krauss, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Hietala and
Mayor Cetraro; those voting No, none.
Library Director Alice Meister invited the Commissioners to attend the groundbreaking ceremonies,
to be held at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 14.

It was moved by Commissioner Krauss, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that staff be

Conditional Use Permit with Certificate of Appropriateness - allow two-story branch bank with leased
office space on second floor to be constructed at 642 Cottonwood Road - First Security Bank
(Z-05023)
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on a Conditional Use Permit with Certificate
of Appropriateness, as requested by Taylor, Hanson and Kane Architects for First Security Bank under
Application No. Z-OS023, to allow the construction of a two-story branch bank on Lot S, Minor Subdivision
No. 340, with leased office space on the second floor. The subject property is located at 642 Cottonwood
Road.
Public hearing.
Mayor Cetraro opened the public hearing.
Planner Ben Ehreth presented the staff report. He noted that the subject property is immediately
across Cottonwood Road from the JC Billion Auto Plaza.
Planner Ehreth stated that staff has reviewed this application in light of the applicable criteria, and
staff's comprehensive findings are contained in the written staff report. He noted that the Development
Review Committee and the Design Review Board have reviewed this application and also forward a
recommendation for approval, subject to several conditions. He briefly highlighted some of the conditions
that are unique to this project. He noted that one of those conditions pertains to the one-foot no access strip
adjacent to this property, and cautioned that that issue cannot be addressed under this application.
Commissioner Youngman stated she received a telephone call today from the Gallatin Valley Land
Trust asking that an easement be required for a shared bicycle/pedestrian facility adjacent to Huffine Lane.
Planner Ehreth noted the Commission can add that condition it they wish; the staff was
uncomfortable with adding a condition that requires improvements within the Montana Department of
Transportation right-ot-way, particularly when there are no adjacent trail improvements.
Mr. Bill Hanson, architect representing the applicant, voiced a willingness to work with the City on
the development of a bicycle/pedestrian facility. He noted that Cottonwood Road is to be widened and, at
that time, a pedestrian walkway will be provided along Cottonwood Road. He asked that latitude be given
to ensure that the two facilities can be connected with as little loss ot previous improvements as possible.
Mr. Hanson turned his attention to the overall issue of access from this subdivision to Cottonwood
Road, cautioning that the accesses from this subdivision do not align with Auto Plaza Drive in the Billion
Auto Plaza Subdivision; and that could lead to potential problems in the future. Since Cottonwood Road
is designated as a primary arterial, the code does not allow an access point within 660 feet of Huffine Lane.
He asked, however, that consideration be given to a future application to allow an access to this property,
across from the south end of Auto Plaza Drive, with the stipulation that when Cottonwood Road is fully
developed, that access will be right in/right out only.
Mr. Hanson displayed some color renderings of the new bank building, noting the intent is to use
natural materials, including stone, and a natural color shingle roof. He characterized the building as solid
looking and a fairly impressive presence in this entrance to the community.
Mr. Joe Billion spoke in support ot the proposal to align the accesses on both sides of Cottonwood
Road. He noted that his long-term plans tor the 38 acres immediately north of his dealership include
another dealership and a commercial node with access trom Fallon Street.

Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, Mr. Hanson stated the south end of Auto Plaza Drive is 290
feet from Huffine Lane; under the code, an access to be a minimum of 330 feet from an intersection on a
standard arterial road.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Cetraro closed the public hearing.
Decision.
Commissioner Youngman proposed that a condition be added, as follows: "A shared pedestrian/
bicycle boulevard trail which parallels Huffine Lane shall be provided with the proposed development prior
to final occupancy, subject to review and approval by City staff, the Montana Department of Transportation
and any applicable advisory bodies."
It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff, that the
Conditional Use Permit with Certificate of Appropriateness, as requested by Taylor, Hanson and Kane
Architects for First Security Bank under Application No. 2-05023, to allow the construction of a two-story
branch bank on Lot 5, Minor Subdivision No. 340, with leased office space on the second floor, be approved

of the Bozeman Unified Development Ordinance.
11. The proposed access onto Cottonwood Road that is closest to the Huffine Lane
intersection will not be allowed. Currently the only access point for this lot onto

Public hearing.
Mayor Cetraro opened the public hearing.
Associate Planner Jami Morris presented the staff report. She highlighted the application, which
includes a 115-unit Residence Inn and a 91-unit Courtyard hotel. In conjunction with this application,
deviations are sought to allow parking to encroach 10 feet into the 50-foot 1-90 setback and allow a 10-
percent reduction in the number of parking spaces required for the hotel on Lot 2.
Associate Planner Morris stated that staff has reviewed this application in light of the applicable
criteria, and staff's comprehensive findings are contained in the written staff report. Based on that review,
staff has forwarded a recommendation for approval, subject to eighteen conditions plus the requirement that
code provisions be met. She briefly highlighted those conditions, noting some of them are the standard
Valley Center Road issues.
Mr. Michael Mahoney, development partner for Western International, stated he has met with the
contractor for the Valley Center road improvements to discuss potential conflicts between construction of
the motels and the road work. He noted that, since this project has two entrances onto Valley Center Road,
they will use the entrance that does not impact the road improvement project.
Mr. Mahoney referenced the renderings for the two hotels, characterizing them as a higher end
Marriott product and establishing a new benchmark for Bozeman.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the application.
Responding to Commissioner Krauss, Associate Planner Morris stated that a portion of the patio
area and fence are located within the setback requirements and must be removed. She then indicated that
the code provisions for this application are included in the middle of the staff report but not reflected in the
recommended conditions of approval.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Cetraro closed the pUblic hearing.

Conditional Use Permit to modify Planned Unit DeveloDment - allow additional relaxation to allow
additional coveraae for residential develoDments with ADA adaDtabilitv in Brecken Place at Vallev
West - Anders Lewendal Construction. Inc. (Z-05020)
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit to modify the
Planned Unit Development for Lots 30, 31, 32 and 33, Valley West Subdivision, Phase II, as requested by
Frog Rock Design for Andrews Lewendal Construction under Application No. Z-05020, to allow up to 50
percent lot coverage for structures built primarily as single-story residences with ADA adaptability. The
subject project is known as Brecken Place at Valley West, located at 4294, 4278, 4256 and 4234 Cover
Street.
Public hearing.
Mayor Cetraro opened the public hearing.
Planner Susan Kozub presented the staff report. She stated the current guidelines allow for not
more than 40-percent lot coverage and under this application, that is to be increased to 50 percent for those
single-story residences constructed for ADA adaptability. She noted this application is for four lots only;
however, the developer may seek the same modification for more lots within Phase III of the development.
Planner Kozub stated that staff has reviewed this application in light of the applicable criteria, and
staff's comprehensive findings are contained in the written staff report. She noted that during that review,
staff found the proposed modification is very narrow, pertaining to only a few lots within the subdivision.
Based on those findings, staff has forwarded a recommendation for approval, subject to one condition
requiring that these lots be kept under a single condominium association. She then distributed copies of
a letter and petitions in support of this application.
Mr. Anders Lewendal, applicant, stated that he found he could not build four condominiums per lot
and changed his plans to three condominiums per lot. He found that even that decreased number of units
exceeds the lot coverage when handicapped adaptability is included; therefore, he is seeking the
modification to allow for up to 50-percent coverage. He stated that he owns these four lots and will ensure
that they are covered by a single condominium association. He then noted he owns the lots on the street

behind this development; and those four-plexes will be two-story units. He concluded by requesting
approval of this application.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the requested modification.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Cetraro closed the public hearing.
Decision.
It was moved by Commissioner Krauss, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that the Conditional
Use Permit to modify the Planned Unit Development for Lots 30, 31, 32 and 33, Valley West Subdivision,
Phase II, as requested by Frog Rock Design for Andrews Lewendal Construction under Application No.
Z-05020, to allow up tp 50 percent lot coverage for structures built primarily as single-story residences with
ADA adaptability, be approved subject to the following condition:
1. Lots 30, 31, 32 and 33, at a minimum, shall be held under a single condominium
association.
