0:43:01 E. Public Comment
Mayor Jacobson opened public comment.
0:43: S 1 Jeffrey Angel -Public Comment
Mr. Angel, of 622 West Babcock, spoke about the sign coming up for approval at the Baxter. His
understanding is that it's a 20 square foot sign that corners Main and Wilson, and it's neon. He
has a residence and an office in the Baxter and thinks it will be a scar on the face of Bozeman.
Having neon wouldn't be consistent with what Main Street looks like.
0:45:06 Public Comment closed.
Mayor Jacobson closed public comment.

0:55:1$ 2. Mount Baldy-Thies Lots 2S & 26 Zone Map Amendment #Z-07283 (Skelton)
0:55:44 Dave Skelton, Senior Flanner
Mr. Skelton presented the staff report about this application far R-1 zoning. It is now County
land zoned R-S. Staff has suggested an interim zoning designation. Based on public comment
received, staff believe that 25% of landowners within 1 SO feet oppose R-1, and if so, it requires a
2/3 majority vote of four Commissioners to approve R-1.
1:04:22 Bob Lee, Applicant
Mr. Lee, a land use planner with Morrison Maicrle Engineering, stated that they believe the
requested R-1 zoning meets the criteria. They are requesting a zoning designation that would
allow them to take two lots and reconfigure them to make room for new homes and offset the
4
Bo=ei~run City C.'nnnnicsion A4celiia~;r, A9urc•h 3, 2008
cost of impact fees and hooking into sewer and water. He stated that this application is different
than the precedent-setting one in 2006.
1:17:58 Dwight McCarty, Applicant
Mr. McCarty is a spokesman for the Ethel Thies Family and Trust. They think that R-1 is more
appropriate because ii gets rid of some conditional uses that exist under R-S. The number of lots
will remain as two. To get people to come in, it needs to be economically viable. They think they
have a proactive plan.
1:21:24 Public Comment opened.
Mayor Jacobson opened public comment.
1:21:41 Unidentified Woman (identified later by Mr. McCarty as Marilyn) -Public Comment
This woman lives exactly to the east of this property in question. She is against this zoning
change and thinks it would be a terrible thing. She is asking the Commission to help them protect
their property they've invested in and their neighborhood as they know it. This is an established
subdivision with other subdivisions around it; it's not raw land.
1:23:49 Rufus Cone -Public Comment
Mr. Cone, of 1413 Bridgex Drive, has been a resident in the subdivision far 34 years. At the
hearing in August 2006, a large group of neighbors opposed the extra dwellings an lots, and the
Commission voted unanimously to oppose it. They believe this proposal is similar, and think
rezoning would result in piecemeal changes to the neighborhood and bad planning.
1:25:24 Dan Jackson -Public Comment
Mr. Jackson, of 1280 Story Mill Road, lives just north of the lots in question, and he was the
applicant in 2006. He stated that R-S would create non-conforming lots in the area. R-S is being
used for luxury subdivisions; he urged approval of R-1 so people can affordably annex into the
City and get hooked up to City services.
1:28:50 Public Comment closed.
Mayor Jacobson closed public comment.
1:29:01 Mr. McCarty, Applicant Rebuttal
Mr. McCarty identified Marilyn (who gave public comment) and said R-1 will increase value,
limit the use, and hold it there as a pattern for the futuxe.
1:31:05 Mr. Lee, Applicant Rebuttal
Mr. Lee stated that this is incremental change within the neighborhood. It requires no obligation
frarn adjacent landowners and leis the stage for a rational transition.
1:32:11 Motion that we approve the initial municipal zoning designation of RS for the
subject property subject to the contingencies provided in Zoning Commission Resolutioan

Cr. Rupp stated that he still wants to vote on the annexation recJuest. He agrees that it's piecemeal
and doesn't want R-1 to be the outcome.
1:38:07 Cr. Bryson
Cr. Bryson stated that this piece of property on the earner with R-1 bearing down from the north
doesn't present a problem from the piecemeal or density perspective. He will vote against the
motion.
1:39:26 Cr. Krauss
Cr. Krauss is not interested in turning lot lines 90 degrees and stuffing houses on them. He
doesn't support the annexation, nor R-1 ar R-S.
1:42:1 S Cr. Becker

Ted's Montana Grill. The Baxter Hotel has been declared a crown jewel and landmark of Gallatin
