Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Andrew Epple, Planning Director
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: The Knolls East and Highland South Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat -
#P-07037
MEETING DATE: Monday, November 3, 2008, at 6:00 pm
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Staff recommends that the City Commission re-open the public hearing for this project.
2) Staff then recommends that the City Commission take public comment and consider the
new information presented by the applicant in response to the amendments considered by
the City Commission at the November 5, 2007 meeting. 3) Staff then recommends that the City Commission act upon the previous tabled motion “to
approve the application with conditions listed on pages 2-8 of the Planning Board
Resolution and that we restore the original condition number 5 as it was brought forward
to the Planning Board before any changes were made to it at the Planning Board.” (Staff recommends that the Commission act to eliminate this motion).
4) Staff would then recommend that the City Commission conditionally approve this
application with the conditions as presented in Planning Board Resolution #P-07037, as
determined to be amended by the City Commission. BACKGROUND: At the request of Potter Clinton Development, representing Bozeman
Deaconess Health Services, the City Commission placed the Knolls East and Highland South
Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat back on the City Commission public hearing agenda for
consideration and action at the November 3, 2008 meeting. This item was originally tabled by the City Commission, at the request of the applicant, at the November 5, 2007 public hearing. The applicant requested this action in order to have time to fully analyze the motion
(amendments) being considered by the Commission at that time. The Bozeman Municipal Code
(BMC) requires that this item be acted upon within one year of the date it was tabled.
This Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat application proposes to subdivide 214.16 acres into 337 single-household residential lots, 1 multi-household residential lot, 1 mixed use/commercial lot,
44 attached single household and 8 affordable housing lots and the remaining area as parks, open
spaces, streets and alleys. The subject property is annexed with preliminary zoning designations
of R-1 (Residential Single-Household, Low Density District), R-2 (Residential Two-Household, Medium Density District), B-1 (Neighborhood Business District) and B-2 (Community Business
Report compiled on October 29, 2008
District) and is located north of Kagy Boulevard between Highland Boulevard and Bozeman
Trail Road.
In an attempt to provide some clarity and a framework of discussion on the conditions that were being considered by the Commission back on November 5, 2007, staff has attached a marked up
copy of Planning Board Resolution #P-07037 which shows the original recommended conditions
of approval and the amended or additional conditions that the Commission was considering
(shown in red). Hopefully this will provide a useful framework for considering the applicant’s
new information in response to these conditions. Also attached is a copy of the November 5, 2007 minutes for reference.
As noted in the November 5, 2007 minutes, there were two specific variance requests made as
part of the original application which the Commission acted upon prior to the main motion on the
subdivision approval being laid on the table. One was to construct asphalt shared use paths along Painted Hills Road, Kagy Boulevard and Highland Boulevard in place of City standard concrete
sidewalks. This variance request was denied by the Commission on a 3-2 vote. The second
variance was to allow the development of the subject subdivision without level of service
mitigation measures at the intersection of Haggerty Lane and East Main Street. This variance
request was approved on a 3-2 vote. Therefore, the two variances are not part of the re-opening and action on the main motion.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: The primary unresolved issues with this application, and the basis
for the applicant’s request for the initial tabling of this item, was for the applicant to have time to
provide a response to the eight (8) specific conditions or amendments being considered by the City Commission. The applicant has presented their response as noted in their October 6, 2008
correspondence. Again, this information can be evaluated against the marked up copy of the
Planning Board Resolution which shows the conditions or amendments being considered by the
Commission in red.
Specifically regarding the 1st
amended motion/condition being considered regarding the Bridger
Ski Foundation (BSF) facility, (identified on the Planning Board Resolution as Condition 52),
while the applicant would not like this action specifically included as a formal condition of
approval, staff would recommend that the Commission consider the condition to perhaps not
specifically reference this lot being deeded to a specific entity (i.e. BSF). This condition, (condition 52), may be more appropriately worded to state that “the Final Plat shall specify that
the 0.86 acre lot located adjacent to the Highland Green Park shall be reserved for the primary
use of a community sponsored, non-profit organization or organizations that provide outdoor
recreational opportunities for residents of the Gallatin Valley in the spirit of the representations made by the applicant as part of this application. The final design and use of this lot and facility will be further reviewed and approved by the City Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the
City Commission as part of the Final Park Plan for the Highland Green Park”.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Fiscal impacts are undetermined at this time, but will include increased
property tax revenues, along with increased costs to deliver municipal services to the property, when the property is developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
