I Imore help from the community: business owners, agricultural
i ,leaders. Haven't decided if they are going to have monthly or bi-

6:38:57 PM iGreg Sullivan said yes, they could, but that he has to input to
IBoard's decision, but without a voted-on recommendation he
IWill not have anything to incorporate into his budget proposal to
the Commission. Gail Richardson wondered if the Board could
lat least do the Consent Agenda now? Greg said a prelminary
lplat is on consent and it needs a formal recommendation of the
! Board per State statute. We will have to put that on the next
iconsent agenda and continue it on the Commission's agenda, if
la quorum is not met. Gail would like to know if the applicants
!from the Four Corner's Professional Park Subdivision how long
ithey would be willing to wait. Applicant stated a half hour would
jbe fine. Gail continued asking the applicants for the East
iGallatin Zoning District annexation. That applicant would also
!wait for a half hour. Greg recommends that if the Board does
lnot get a quorum, that the chair formally continue these
!hearings so the Planning Department does not have to renotice
!them. Gail asked the applicants of the South Cottonwood
ICanyon addition. They are also willing to wait a half hour.

7:27:24 PM
Time Speaker Note
iBoard discussion. Mike Mimine thinks this is fairly straight
!forward. His only concern is usually if property owners are
lbeing forced into zoning, but this one is at the choice of the
,landowner. Feels 120-acre is appropriate. Kerry White will
isupport the motion. Gave explanation of how the State has
Ichanged the original subdivision without review law from 10-
!acre lots to now 160-acre lots. Forces a large acreage lot that
!can devastate an agricultural community, when before a 10-
jacre parcel to help the farmer financially did not have enough
!Iand to create a sprawl-like subdivision in the middle of an
iagricultural area. Rick Holscher agrees with Kerry's comments.
!In theory it is great, however if zoned 1 :20, we could see 640
lhomes out here so let's not kid ourselves when we vote for this.
!C.B. Dormire is not going to support this motion, even though
ihe agrees with everything Kerry said. He does not think
leverything Kerry said is relevant to the decision tonight. Does
lnot feel it is consistent with the Growth Policy, as the
lcommission presents the Growth Policy Implementation
Project. Matt Flikkema will support the application. He feels
!the Seifert family is a well known agriculture operation and feels
jthey would continue to be in agricultural operation. Gail
iRichardson agrees with C.s.'s comments regarding the
ICommission's direction of the Growth Policy Implementation
lProgram. She would have much rather seen the owners work
'with the Reese Creek Zoning District at 1: 160 density, than the
I Belgrade area which is much denser and has major
jtransportation problems. She will not be able to support this.
iC'S. Dormire added that for the same reasons he disagrees it
jcomplies with the Growth Policy Implementation, feels it also is
jnot consistent with the Subdivision Regulations. Sean
iO'Callaghan asked for clarification regarding the Subdivision
lRegulations. Gail added she thinks the Commission (in her
lpersonal opinion), has to consider comulative impacts in this
larea. She lives oft Springhill and goes north often; the potential
!for density is too great. Kerry questioned C.B. which sections
!of the Growth Policy he felt this application does not meet. C.B.
!answered the, "direction of development density the closer
ltowards existing urban types of development for water and
I wastewater. " Gail elaborated that the Gowth Policy aspects this
lapPlication does meet are 3.7 Residential, Promote Residential
Development Adjacent to Existing Developed Land, Discourage
I Leapfrog Development, 3.12 Mobility and Circulation, 3.13
,Local Services. Michael Milmine reminded the Board this is a
'not a subdivision, it is a zoning annexation application. How
can you have residential areas if you don't plan or zone for
them? He does not think this area is inappropriate for the
!density they are requesting. Does not see a subdivision here,
!he sees a zoning annexation, which he thought the Commission
Iwas trying to encourage. .

i I reasons as the last application. It is closer to Cottonwood
i iRoad. It's their property and can do what they would want to
i Ilwith it. Feels it is appropriate, 20-acres really is not that dense.
! Gail Richardson feels this fits very well with the South
I ;Cottonwood Zoning District. She will support it. C.B. Dormire
! !said for the same reasons he had trouble supporting the
! !IPrevious application, with the guidance the Commission has
, ,chosen for them to follow, he believes there are certain areas
Ifor which development is to be guided and certain areas to
iwhich it is not to be guided. He cannot support this application.
! Kerry White confused how five miles out of Belgrade is not
lappropriate, but 12 miles south of Bozeman is appropriate. He
!will support it. He would like to see cluster bonuses for moving
!away from the corridor. People should be able to choose what
!they want to do with their property if they choose to be in a
jzoning district. Gail Richardson responded to answer Kerry's
Icomment. She does not think this is the same issue as the last
~application.
