3:00 p.m. Present were Mayor Stiff, Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Rudberg,
Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Youngman, City Manager Johnson, Assistant City Manager
Brey, City Attorney Luwe and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan.

. Continued Dublic hearina - Zone MaD Amendment - Genesis Partners. L.L.C.. for Paul Boylan
Estate - amend the zonina desianation from "AS" to "R-O" on Tract 2A. COS No. 1969,
located in the N'Yz. NE~. Section 23. T2S. R5E. MPM (32.4 acres aDDroximately ~ mile west
of intersection of South 19th Avenue and Stucky Road) (Z-98108)
This was the time and place set for the continued public hearing on a Zone Map
Amendment from" AS", Agricultural Suburban, to "R-O", Residential--Office, as requested by
Genesis Partners L.l.C., for the Paul Boylan Estate, under Application No. Z-98108, on a 32.4~
acre parcel described as Tract 2A, Certificate of Survey No. 1969, located in the North one~half
of the Northeast one-quarter, Section 23, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal
Meridian. The subject property is more commonly located along the south side of Stucky Road,
approximately one-quarter mile west of its intersection with South 19th Avenue.
Included in the Commissioners' packets were letters of support from the Gallatin
. Development Corporation, dated October 20; George and Catherine Mae Sager, 311 Accola
Drive, dated October 21; and Big Sky Laser Technologies, Inc.; and letters raising concerns and
issues from Casne and Associates, Inc., dated October 13; and Scenic Developers, Inc., dated
October 12. Distributed just prior to the meeting were a copy of the groundwater report
prepared by Fluidyne and a colored rendition of the conceptual development of the site.
Mayor Stiff reopened the continued public hearing.

Senior Planner Dave Skelton gave a brief overview of the application, reminding the
Commission that the public hearing was conducted on October 5, after which it was continued
to this time. He also reminded the Commission that issues raised at the October 5 meeting
included groundwater, growth without City infrastructure, review authority, compliance with
. the master plan and phasing of development. He then reminded the Commission that many of
those issues must be addressed at future steps in the development process.
The Senior Planner reminded the Commission that if this property is zoned "R-O" and
is not annexed, the County Commission will review any application for subdivision of the
property. He also noted that, if the proposed development of the property is in compliance
with the zone code, a site plan review conducted by the Planning staff and possibly the City-
County Planning Board would be required. He then noted that under the urban residential infill
land use designation, connection to City services is required; however, City infrastructure is not
available to the site at the present time. He concluded by noting that the Commission may
approve the application for rezoning, deny the application, require annexation prior to rezoning,
or require phasing of zoning and development of the property.
. Responding to Commissioner Rudberg, City Attorney Luwe confirmed that, if the
Commission determines annexation is necessary in order to comply with the master plan, then
the owner must seek annexation and, if the owner does not agree to seek annexation, then the
zoning would not change.
Responding to Mayor Stiff, the City Attorney stated that a waiver of right to protest
annexation of the property may not be required as a condition of rezoning, since that could be
construed as conditional zoning. He then stated the Commission must find that the requested
rezoning complies with the master plan prior to making its decision.
Mayor Stiff raised questions about how quickly the property will be developed and
whether ten acres would accommodate the amount of growth that has been identified during
. the public hearing.
Mr. Greg Gianforte, Right Now Technologies, stated that if they were to receive
approval today, it would probably be eighteen months before his business would be ready to
move into a new building. He then stated that, while he is not opposed to a phased approach,
he does not know what the future needs will be; and the 32 acres being proposed for rezoning
will allow for possible future expansion. He stated that ten acres would probably provide
1 0-26~98
--.- ---..
- 3 -
adequate space for two or three buildings, and those buildings would be full the day they were
built with no opportunity for expansion. He then indicated that a "no" vote on this application
will result in his firm building in Belgrade, since they need space in which to expand.
Mr. Mark Amunrud, Bridger Systems, stated he needs to build as soon as possible,
. noting that three buildings could probably be filled when built because of the community's
needs. He then indicated that, while he is willing to consider possible options, he is not certain
about how they would work.
Mr. Justin Buchanan, Fluidyne, stated his firm is recommending that central water and
sewer systems be provided for the entire development, not for each building. He then
characterized this type of system as a "public" system.
Mr. Dave Crawford, Thomas, Dean and Hoskins, stated that on-site water and sewer
systems will protect the public health, safety and welfare while allowing development to occur
at urban densities prior to City water and sewer services being available. He noted that once
the City services are available, the on-site systems can be connected to the City services in a
"seamless transition".
. Mayor Stiff stated it is extremely difficult to justify rezoning 32 acres to allow for urban
density development without being tied to City services.
Mr. Gianforte questioned how this proposed development, in the "donut" area, is
different from other commercial developments which have been allowed in the "donut" area
without connection to City services, citing Billion Plaza, the Walker Property PUD, Costco, the
Post Office and ILX Lightwave as examples.
Commissioner Frost stated he shares the Mayor's concerns about the size of this
proposal, noting he feels that phasing would be an acceptable alternative.
Ms. Luzann Bennett, 5532 Stucky Road, stated the wetlands that have been a topic
of discussion in this hearing are located on their property, not the Boylan property.
. Ms. Renee Gavin, 4929 Fowler Lane, stated that Mr. Casne did an assessment on a
parcel which is part of the Boylan property. She encouraged the Commissioners to give serious
consideration to that assessment, which identified the parcel as being wet and not suitable for
building. She noted that the parcel which Mr. Casne studied is not the same parcel as the one
under consideration in this agenda item; however, she characterized the qualities as being
10-26-98
-...--
._--,,-----_. .-.---
- 4 -
similar, and noted the flow of the water would suggest that both parcels share the same
problems.
Ms. Gavin noted that at the public hearing on October 5, there was a considerable
amount of discussion about the loss of control over development of the site in the future since
. this property lies outside city limits. She suggested there are workable alternatives that should
be considered rather than approving this request as submitted. She concluded by suggesting
that if the applicants have found a suitable place to relocate in Belgrade, they should do so
since they could probably build sooner by doing so.
Mr. Lloyd Mandeville, real estate agent representing the Boylan estate, stated the tract
which Mr. Casne analyzed is 1320 feet south of the subject property, and the groundwater on
that parcel is significantly different from the groundwater on the subject parcel.
Mr. Tom Kallenbach, Fluidyne, stated that the on-site wastewater system will be
designed to accommodate the proposed development on this property. He noted that, since
businesses create significantly less wastewater than residential uses, the system will
dramatically limit the type and amount of development on this site.
. Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing.
Responding to Mayor Stiff, Commissioner Rudberg stated she feels that, since the
applicants propose to install private central water and wastewater systems which can easily
be connected to the City services when they are available, it is appropriate to proceed with the
requested rezoning without annexation at this time.
Responding to Mayor Stiff, City Attorney Luwe stated that the applicants may
voluntarily submit a petition for annexation whenever they desire to do so.
Commissioner Youngman stated she feels it is in the best long-term interests of the
community to attract this type of business to the community, but she does not believe that
rezoning this 32-acre parcel to an urban designation without requiring annexation is consistent
. with the master plan. She indicated that, while she could support a smaller proposal or a
phased proposed with the initial phase containing ten acres, she cannot support this request.
Commissioner Frost stated he shares those concerns, indicating he cannot support the
request as submitted.
Commissioner Rudberg noted that Bozeman has tried to attract high tech businesses
to the community for several years. She stated the subject property is located close to the
10-26-98
. ----. ---...--...
- 5 -
Montana State University campus, and the applicants have indicated they need the acreage
they are proposing to make the project viable. She characterized the proposed development
as an appropriate transition between commercial and residential. She then noted that the
groundwater problems are ones which the applicants will need to address during the various
. development reviews.
Commissioner Rudberg stated that she has talked to County Commissioners Bill
Murdock and Phil Olson about this request, and they have both indicated their support. She
encouraged the Commissioners to keep in mind that in January, the County will assume
jurisdiction over the "donut" area, so the City Commission will no longer be involved in
decisions in this area.
It was moved by Commissioner Smiley, seconded by Commissioner Rudberg, that the
Commission approve the Zone Map Amendment from "AS", Agricultural Suburban, to "R-O",
Residential--Office, as requested by Genesis Partners L.L.C., for the Paul Boylan Estate, under
Application No. Z-98108, on a 32.4-acre parcel described as Tract 2A, Certificate of Survey
No. 1969, located in the North one-half of the Northeast one-quarter of Section 23, Township
. 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian, and authorize and direct staff to bring back
an ordinance enacting the zone map amendment. The motion carried by the following Aye and
No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Rudberg and Mayor
Stiff; those voting No being Commissioner Frost and Commissioner Youngman.

Work Session - (A) Discussion - Dossible lease of City Dropertv for school bus barn: (8)
PreDaration of DroDosed leaislative Dackaae to be submitted at Gallatin Council of Governments
meetina: and (C) Continued discussion re writina of minutes
(A) Discussion - possible lease of City property for school bus barn
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of a letter from School District No.
. 7, dated October 6, regarding the possibility of locating the school bus facility on City-owned
property on the east side of North Rouse Avenue, just south of its intersection with Griffin
Drive.
City Manager Johnson distributed copies of a very preliminary site plan as prepared by
Prugh and Lenon, for the property. He noted that the original proposal was to provide angle
parking for the school buses but, because of the amount of space that would have been
required and the constraints of the site, the proposal has been reconfigured to provide for two
buildings with a parking configuration similar to the one currently used. He noted that under
this proposal, a City vehicle storage area is to be provided along the south end of the property.
The City Manager noted that an existing building on the site is currently being used for
fire training, and care must be taken to ensure that no development on the site interferes with
. that facility. He also noted that a new fenced area has been created, and care must be taken
to ensure that that facility is maintained.
City Manager Johnson stressed that these are very preliminary plans and discussions.
He noted that a discussion similar to this one has been scheduled at tonight's School Board
meeting. He stated that, to date, any discussions about this possibility have been limited to
10-26-98
- 7 -
staff members from the City and the School District and, if it appears to be possible alternative,
both the City Commission and the School Board will be updated as the project unfolds.
Responding to Commissioner Rudberg, the City Manager stated it is the intent to pave
a portion of the site.
. The City Manager noted that former City Manager Wysocki had viewed this property
as fairly valuable for commercial development and had entertained the possibility of selling it
and purchasing another site for the City yards. He then reminded the Commission that the
existing City Shops area is crowded with no place to expand, and relocating the entire City
Shops site to another location may be an issue to consider. He also noted that the existing
shop complex is located in a residential area and, as a result, the hours of operation sometimes
cause conflicts with the neighbors.
The City Manager noted that Director of Public Service Forbes has provided some initial
comments on this proposal. He indicated that identified positives include better on-site
circulation and possible access to Griffin Drive. He cautioned, however, that care must be
taken to ensure that the two agencies do not interfere with each other's on-site circulation and
. that they don't encroach on the fire training facility.
The City Manager forwarded the suggestion that, in exchange for use of a portion of
this site for a bus barn, the School District provide improved fields for sports, such as
combination baseball/soccer fields. He stressed that those should be new fields, and not just
existing fields, to ensure that the needs of the community are being met. He noted that a lease
should be for an extended period of time, such as 25 years, with a provision that if the bus
barn and City shop area are found incompatible, the City could purchase the improvements
back at a discounted price.
Commissioner Smiley stated her support for the concept, noting this site is less
intrusive than the other sites that have been considered.
. Responding to Commissioner Rudberg, the City Manager stated that a lease could be
written so that if ballfields were constructed on a school site that was later found to be needed
for a school, new ballfields could be constructed at another site.
Commissioner Youngman stated that the City must consider several issues when
identifying possible locations for a bus barn, among them the prevailing winds, noise and air
quality.

Commissioner Frost stated he feels it is important for the City to consider the needs
of its shop complex first. He also stressed that if it is determined this site could accommodate
the school bus barn, it must be done at no cost to the City.
Responding to Mayor Stiff, City Attorney Luwe stated the City must seek voter
. approval only for selling of land which is held in trust, and that is typically parkland or cemetery
land.
Mayor Stiff noted that the subject property is extremely well located and is a valuable
piece of property which could be used to meet City needs, and he is concerned about using it
in another manner.
Director of Public Service Phill Forbes stated that another potential site might be the
old landfill behind the Humane Society. He noted that previous considerations of this parcel
as a possible new site for the City Shops have been dismissed because of the existing access
to the site, which is adjacent to a mobile home park and extremely close to the intersection of
Griffin Drive and Bridger Drive. He noted, however, that if the City were to acquire a parcel
between the old landfill and Industrial Drive, those concerns could be alleviated.
. Responding to Commissioner Smiley, the Director stated the site on North Rouse
Avenue contains approximately seven acres, and the existing City Shop complex is located on
approximately two acres.
Responding to Commissioner Rudberg, the Director of Public Service stated it would
be possible to store off-season equipment at the lower yard. He then stated that the lower
yards will not truly become a satellite for a number of reasons. He noted, however, that in an
effort to mitigate some of the current overcrowding at the City Shop complex, the City is
seeking bids for a new equipment storage building at the landfill which will be designed to
house all of the garbage collection and disposal equipment. He noted that landscaping has
been installed at the City Shop complex to screen the yards from adjacent residential areas.
Director of Public Service Forbes then stressed the importance of ensuring that the City
. receives new ballfields on School District property in exchange for the use of City property for
a bus barn, and not just administrative responsibility for the existing ballfields on West Babcock
Street.
Responding to Mayor Stiff, the City Manager confirmed that under this proposal, the
school bus barn would cover a "big 1/3" of the lower yards property.

City Manager Johnson concluded discussion of this item by noting that he will monitor
the results of tonight's School Board discussion on this issue.
(8) Preparation of proposed legislative package to be submitted at Gallatin
Council of Governments meeting
Included in the Commissioners' packets were copies of the resolutions adopted at the
. recent Montana League of Cities and Towns Convention and the legislative package developed
by the Gallatin Council of Governments for the 1997 legislative session.
City Manager Johnson distributed copies of information on the proposed housing trust
legislation that will be introduced in the upcoming legislative session.
At the City Manager's request, Assistant City Manager Brey briefly reviewed the
legislative package adopted at the League of Cities and Towns convention, noting that the City
of Bozeman abstained from voting on Resolution NO.1 0, which was a proposal forwarded by
Missoula's Mayor.
Responding to Commissioner Youngman, Assistant City Manager Brey stated that, from
staff's viewpoint, priorities include fiscal matters, revenues and local control, particularly for
. those communities experiencing rapid growth.
Commissioner Youngman stated she feels it is important to identify the top priority
items, since the Gallatin County Council of Governments will not have time to review all thirty
of the items included in the packets.
City Manager Johnson identified Resolution Nos. 3, 4, 5, 7, 16, 21, 23, 24 and 25 in
the League package as important items. He also stressed the importance of monitoring
legislation which might eliminate or limit the City's jurisdiction over building codes, zoning and
planning issues.
Commissioner Rudberg left the meeting at 4: 15 p.m. to attend a City-County Health
Board meeting.
Assistant City Manager Brey stressed the importance of local control and noted that,
. in many instances, the City's strategy may be one of defense.
City Manager Johnson stated he feels it is important to seek an increase in the
telephone line charge for 9-1-1 services, from 500 to $1.00 per month. He then identified
several other bills which the City of Bozeman and the Gallatin County Council of Governments
10-26-98
---. .-.---.--.---..-.--- "..-.-
- 1 0 -
determined were a priority in the 1997 legislative session but for which legislation was either
not introduced or did not pass.
Commissioner Youngman noted that the housing trust fund seems to be a priority for
all housing organizations and seems to be supported by a variety of groups.
. Commissioner Smiley stated that the issue of unfunded mandates must be closely
monitored.
Mayor Stiff stated he feels that a better balance of municipal revenues and possible
identification of another source of revenue is important.
Responding to questions from the Commission, Assistant City Manager Brey stressed
that, while the League package will be actively pursued by the League during the legislative
session, it is important for local government leaders to talk to their local legislators about the
issues and why they are important to the community.
The City Manager reminded the Commission of the initial meeting of the Gallatin
County Council of Governments scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evening at the
Courthouse.
. (C) Continued discussion re writing of minutes
Due to the late hour, this item was deferred to a later date.
Agenda Meeting - for regular meeting and Dublic hearings to be held on November 2. 1998
Since this is an agenda meeting, only those issues requiring staff action are contained
in the minutes.
City Manager Johnson briefly reviewed the background information which was included
in the Commissioners' packets.
(4) Senior Planner Dave Skelton reminded the Commission that the public hearing
was held on October 19, and the decision was delayed to November 2 to allow the applicant
an opportunity to provide requested information. He noted that information was submitted on
. Friday, and a cursory overview suggests that not all of the requested provisions are included.
He then indicated that staff will review the document and provide comments in the packets for
next week's meeting.
Responding to City Manager Johnson, the Senior Planner stated that, depending on
how the conditions are written, it may be possible to withdraw the Occupancy Permit if the
10-26-98
--...-..."..- - ---
- 11 -
covenants and restrictions are not being met. He suggested that the City talk to HRDC about
the possibility of losing tax credits prior to imposing such a condition.
The Senior Planner then noted that North 25th Avenue and West Oak Street join before
the access to this project, and asked if a secondary access from the site itself is to be provided.
. Mayor Stiff stated he recognizes the benefit of having only one access into the housing
development.
(5) Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell briefly highlighted this project, noting
that the recommended conditions are generally the same as those for Castle bar . She noted
that since the Planning Board hearing, the Mayor has received a letter from Mr. Daws; and she
has responded to the issues raised in that letter and forwarded copies of her response to the
Commissioners.
Responding to the City Manager, the Senior Planner stated the other developers along
this portion of the North 19th Avenue corridor recognize that this development and Castlebar
will have some impact on the West Oak Street intersection, but have chosen to proceed with
their agreement for the signalization of that intersection without adding these developers to the
. agreement. He noted, however, that does not preclude the need for them to financially
participate in the signal.
The Assistant Planning Director stated that, under the proposed conditions for this
application, the applicants could install sewer, water and streets but cannot construct any
buildings prior to the installation of the signal at West Oak Street.
(6) Associate Planner Chris Saunders gave a brief overview and forwarded a
proposed revision to Condition NO.8.
Commissioner Smiley stated that at a meeting on Friday morning, the applicant and the
Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks reached an agreement on the groundwater rights for the
Department. She noted that the existing pond will be expanded to a shallow water area, and
care will be taken to ensure that this development does not negatively impact the flow of water
. to the Fish, Wildlife and Parks managed area immediately to the west of this site.
(7A) The City Manager stated that Gordon Vance has requested an opportunity to
address the Commission. He suggested that, since Commissioner Smiley will be absent from
next week's meeting until 4:00 p.m., this item be added at this point so she can be present.
10-26-98

(14& 15) The Assistant Planning Director gave a brief overview of the application,
noting the public hearing is to be continued to give the Development Review Committee an
opportunity to address several issues which have arisen in conjunction with the conversion of
an existing lot to a lot for townhouse development.
. (18) The Senior Planner stated that this public hearing was continued at the October
19 meeting. He noted that no additional information is available today, but an update will be
included in Thursday's packet.
(19) Associate Planner John Sherman gave an overview of this application, under
which the existing signs would be allowed to remain, and stated that staff is unable to support
the request. He noted that there are a number of existing signs on the building which are in
compliance but the two freestanding signs and the placard signs and banners are not. He
noted that, since the property is in the East Main Street entryway overlay corridor, a deviation
of up to 20 percent could be considered, but that is not enough to allow the existing 40-foot-
high, 188~square~foot freestanding sign to remain.
(20&21 ) Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell reviewed this application, under
. which a non-conforming use is to be expanded to add a solid waste transfer facility, with
attendant variances from paving and curbing. She indicated that, while staff can support the
variances from paving and curbing between the two buildings, they feel that curbing should be
required around the existing paved area in the front.
Discussion - Commissioner Droiects
Commissioner Smiley stated she has information on minutes which she will type and
get into the packets later this week.
Discussion - FYI Items
City Manager Johnson presented to the Commission the following "For Your

(4) Copy of a letter from the District Court Judges to the City Attorney, dated
October 20, regarding the creation of a municipal court for the City.

Commission consideration and action early in the calendar year.
(5 ) Letter from the District Court Judges to the City Commission and the County
Commission, dated October 19, supporting the centralization of all services to crime victims

( 13) Responding to Commissioner Smiley, Clerk of the Commission Sullivan stated
she has submitted an advertisement to the newspaper for applications for the various boards
and commissions. She then indicated she will send a copy of that notice to the staff members
involved with the various boards, so the boards know when to encourage people to apply.
