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. 0:45:12 F. Action Items 0:45:14 1.

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 Z-07283 as conditioned by staff. 5 6nse//law C i~' ~'O/79//71S.S7017 l~7L'L'l//7~', A9a/°ch 3, ?OUb' It was moved, by Cr.

Rupp 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 Cr. Becker stated that an initial zoning designation of R-S seems reasonable. We should accept staff s recommendation. 1:44:48 Vote that we approve the initial municipal zoning designation of RS for the subject property subject to the contingencies provided in Zoning Commission Resolution Z-072$3 as conditioned by staff. ~,It was moved by Cr.

The Baxter Hotel has been declared a crown jewel and landmark of Gallatin County. They are delighted to have Ted's come to Main Street.
