MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE CITY COMMISSION BOZEMAN, MONTANA August 1, 1994 ********************* ******** e The Commission of the City of Bozeman met in regular session in the Commission Room, Municipal Building, August 1, 1994, at 3:00 p.m. Present were Mayor Vincent, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Stueck, Commissioner Frost, City Manager Wysocki, City Attorney Luwe and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. None of the Commissioners requested that any of the Consent Items be removed for discussion. Minutes Mayor Vincent deferred action of the minutes of the regular meeting of July 11, the special meetings of July 12 and 15, the regular meeting of July 18, the special meetings of I July 19 and 22 and the regular meeting of July 25, to a later date. Decision - aDDeal of Planning Board's decision for apDroval of maior site Dlan to allow construction of 85 residential condominiums on 19.09 acres - COS No. 1917. located in the NW~. NE~. Section 11. T2S. R5E. MPM (2400 Durston Road) - Human Resource DeveloDment Council (Z-9452) This was the time and place set for the decision on the appellate hearing on the appeal filed by the Human Resource Development Council of the Planning Board's decision for approval of a major site plan for Willowbrook, to allow the construction of 85 residential condominiums on 19.09 acres, under Application No. Z-9452. The subject parcel is known as Certificate of Survey No. 1917, located in the northwest one-quarter of the northeast one- quarter of Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian, and is e more commonly located at 2400 Durston Road. Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of a letter from Assistant Planner Lanette Windemaker to Ken LeClair, dated July 26, regarding proposed revisions to conditions of approval resulting from a meeting between the property owner, the applicant and representatives of the City. 08-01-94 ------ - 2 - City Manager Wysocki reviewed some of the proposed revisions, noting that staff has recommended that the requirements for paving of West Beall Street and North 25th Avenue be extended to the middle of the intersections involved. He stated that on Condition No.7, staff has recommended that the sidewalks along Durston Road be installed in conjunction with e Phase I and that the sidewalks along West Beall Street and North 25th Avenue be installed in conjunction with the streets. Condition No.9 is to be amended to require a graveled secondary access to West Beall Street prior to Phase III or when the driveway from Durston Road exceeds 500 feet, with that secondary access to be barricaded. Condition No. 15 is to be amended to reflect that the figures contained in the conditions are strictly estimated payback costs, and are not necessarily designed as the figures to be contained in the payback agreement between the City and HRDC. The City Manager stated that the last page of the letter contains estimated payback costs for each of the lines involved. He then stated that since the final payback costs will not be determined until after the agreement has been executed by the City and HRDC, he does not believe that the recommended condition conflicts with the existing agreement between the City I and HRDC. The City Manager noted that a couple additional items have been entered into discussions pertaining to this appeal; however, they may not be considered in this decision- making process. Responding to Commissioner Frost, the City Manager stated that, since portions of West Beall Street and North 25th Avenue lie outside city limits, it may be necessary to utilize a joint SID/RID for improvements. He then stated that the alignment of West Beall Street has been pushed southward against the north boundary of the HRDC property, rather than dividing the Fellows property and creating a very narrow strip of land along the south side of the roadway. He noted that with this adjustment, the property owner along the south side of the street and the property owner along the north side of the street will be responsible for one-half e a local street standard; and at some time in the future, that may result in the City's becoming involved in those costs which will be assessed against the HRDC property. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the City Manager stated that improvements to West Beall Street and North 25th Avenue could be required at the same time, even though the recommended conditions provide for two different times. He noted, however, that if West 08-01-94 - 3 - Beall Street is installed earlier, an alternative route into town would then be available. He then suggested that if the Commission wishes, improvements to both roadways could be required prior to any homes being constructed in Phase V. Further responding to Commissioner Youngman, City Manager Wysocki stated that e these proposed revisions to the conditions have been reviewed by the Human Resource Development Council, the property owner and the applicant. He stated that, while these conditions do not meet what the HRDC was anticipating in terms of a payback, the calculations are based on the actual length of the water and sewer lines involved in the payback. He noted it is now the Commission's decision. Responding to questions from Commissioner Stiff, Planning Director Epple stated that the Improvements Agreement for this property, which will include any waivers of right to protest the creation of future SID's, will be recorded at the Clerk and Recorder's office after execution and will, therefore, surface in any title report. At Mayor Vincent's request, City Attorney Luwe reviewed the alternatives available to the Commission, which include upholding the decision of the Planning Board, overturning I the decision of the Planning Board. or modifying the decision of the Planning Board. He noted that in this instance, staff is suggesting that the decision be modified by revising some of the conditions for approval. Responding to Commissioner Stueck, Planning Director Epple stated that the proposed payback fees are for the payback only, and that the tap fee is a separate fee paid at the time the service line is installed. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the City Manager stated that he does not believe the recommended conditions conflict with the fact that a payback agreement has not yet been finalized. City Attorney Luwe stated that the Human Resources Development Council appealed the conditions approved by the Planning Board because they felt those conditions did not e satisfy the terms of the agreement between HRDC and the City. He acknowledged that the conditions do contain estimated payback amounts; however, he noted they are identified as estimates, recognizing that an agreement has not been finalized. He further noted that the agreement between the City and HRDC does not require that the payback amount be finalized before taps are allowed to the line. 08-01-94 - 4 - It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commission modify the Planning Board's decision on the major site plan, under Application No. Z-9452, to allow construction of 85 residential condominium units on 19.09 acres known as Certificate of Survey No. 1917, located in the northwest one-quarter of the northeast one- e quarter of Section 1 t, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian, by amending the conditions to read as follows: 1.

Final cost to be determined upon final completion of the water main and e fire hydrants installation; 16. A Stormwater Drainage/Treatment Grading Plan and Maintenance Plan for a system designed to remove solids, silt, oils, grease, and other pollutants must be provided to and approved by the City Engineer prior to final site plan approval. The plan must demonstrate adequate site drainage (including sufficient spot elevations), stormwater detention/retention basin details (including basin sizing and discharge calculations, and discharge structure details), stormwater discharge destination, and a stormwater maintenance plan; 17. Developer shall restrict parking on one side of each interior driveway, and shall delineate a pedestrian walkway in that location, with the location and final design subject to approval of the Planning Director; 18. The dead end driveway shown in Phase 10 shall directly access onto North 25th Avenue, unless at Phase 8 the City determines that a 28-foot-wide driveway connection between the dead end driveways of Phases 8 and 10 or an emergency only access to I North 25th Avenue is more appropriate; 19. The developer shall design and construct a City-standard street (North 25th Avenue) from Durston Road to West Beall Street through a SID, and/or RID, and/or by mutual agreement between the developer and the City of Bozeman, and/or by other means determined by the City of Bozeman. The design of street shall occur with Phase 3 (prior to permits for Phase 4), unless the City determines that a later Phase is more appropriate. The construction of the street shall occur with Phase 4 (prior to permits for Phase 5), unless the City determines that a later Phase is more appropriate. The developer shall ultimately be responsible for the costs of one-half of a City standard street consisting of 16% feet of pavement, plus curb, gutter, storm drainage appurtenances and sidewalk adjacent to this property from the centerline of Durston Road to the centerline of West Beall Street. The cost of design and construction shall be included in the SID and/or RID, if these options are selected; 20. Seven (7) copies of the final site plan, with dimensions and line weighting, containing all of the conditions, corrections and modifications approved by the Planning Board shall be submitted e for review and approval by the Planning Director within six months of the date of approval; 21. The applicant shall enter into an Improvements Agreement with the City to guarantee the installation of required on-site improvements at the time of final site plan submittal. Detailed cost estimated, construction plans and methods of security shall be made a part of that Agreement; 08-01-94 - 7 - 22. A building permit must be obtained prior to the work, and must be obtained within one year of final site plan approval. Building permits will not be issued until the final site plan is approved. Minor site surface preparation will be allowed upon conditional approval by the Planning Board but prior to final site plan approval and issuance of a building permit. This shall include excavation for foundations and the preparation of forms; however, no concrete shall be poured and no further construction shall e commence until final site plan approval; 23. If occupancy of the structure is to occur prior to the installation of all improvements, the Improvements Agreement must be secured by a method of security equal to one and one-half times the amount of the estimated cost of the scheduled improvements not yet installed. Said method of security shall be valid for a period of not less than 12 months; however, all on-site improvements shall be completed by the applicant within nine months of occupancy to avoid default on the method of security; 24. Within 60 days of final completion of all site work, the applicant's licensed architect or engineer overseeing the project shall certify to the City-County Planning Department that all improvements have been completed in accordance with the approval of final site plan; and 25. In addition to the above stated conditions, any applicable City Engineer conditions as outlined in the memo of May 25, 1994. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner I Youngman, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Stueck, Commissioner Frost and Mayor Vincent; those voting No, none. Decision - P.C. DeveloDment. Inc. - (a) CUP for PUD - allow a nine-lot business/commercial develooment (Z-9458): and (b) preliminarv olat for Valley Commons Business Park Subdivision PUD to create nine lots with a Drivate street (P-9424) on 15.02 acres located in the SE~ and SW~ of the SE~. Section 10. T2S. R5E. MPM (3290 West Babcock Street) This was the time and place for the decision on applications forwarded by P.C. Development, Inc., for development of 15.2 acres located in the Southeast one-quarter and Southwest one-quarter of the Southeast one-quarter of Section 10, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian, as follows: (a) for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development, under Application No. Z-9458, to allow a nine-lot business/commercial e development; and (b) for a preliminary plat Planned Unit Development for Valley Commons Business Park, under Application No. P-9424, to create nine lots with a private street. The subject property is more commonly located at the northeast corner of Ferguson Avenue and U.S. 191. 08-01-94 --...- ------.---. - ._~ - 8 - Responding to questions from Commissioner Frost, Planning Director Epple stated that the four specific uses listed for Lots 3 and 4 is more restrictive than the list of BP uses. Responding to additional questions from Commissioner Frost, Mr. Mike Potter stated that any underlying BP uses could be constructed on any of the lots. He then stated it is their e intent to create a development which includes a combination of shops and offices. He then noted that in the list of uses, it has simply addressed those non-BP uses for each lot, with the underlying assumption that the allowed BP uses would remain in place. He then noted that, on that basis, offices would be allowed on Lot 2. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, Planning Director Epple stated that Assistant Planning Director Arkell had not prepared formal responses to the questions which she had submitted. He did, however, review the notes from the file, which do provide the answers. He noted that the issue of not allowing bars and casinos is already addressed in the recommended conditions. With the fact that the number of non-BP uses per lot is limited, it is not possible to reach a 78-percent level of retail use in this development, although it is difficult to determine exactly what percentage it might be. The zone code specifically prohibits I glare from lights and signs within the development impacting surrounding properties and public rights-of-way; and that prohibition should adequately address concerns about lighting within the development. The Planning Director noted that concern about trash was raised. He noted it is possible to require exterior publicly-accessible trash cans, in an effort to minimize that potential. He then stated that calculations reveal that adequate off-street parking is being provided within this development. He noted that since much of the parking is designed with "nose to nose" stalls, it is possible for large vehicles to pull through and use two stalls to park. He cautioned that parking is allowed on public streets, unless otherwise posted; and there is no way to require that all vehicles park within the development. He noted that if the on-street parking becomes a problem, that is an enforcement issue rather than a zone code issue. Further responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Planning Director reminded the e Commission that the current master plan contains a high degree of flexibility which was not available under the previous master plan. He also noted that under the list of conditional uses in the BP zoning district in the zone code the last item is "any use approved through a PUD". He noted the key to the master plan is the concept that any uses can be made compatible with any adjacent land use through good site planning. He also noted that the traffic generation 08-01-94 ---..----- - 9 - calculations reflect that the difference between traffic generated by this proposed development and a development which is in strict compliance with the BP zoning is very minimal. He also noted that the Engineering Department has reviewed those figures and will require any additional information on levels of service at specific intersections as they determine necessary. e He then suggested that the issue of making Yellowstone Avenue less appealing as a through corridor, possibly through the installation of traffic circles, should be discussed with the Engineering Department and administration before any possible condition is added. Planning Director Epple then addressed the issue of security lighting along Fallon Street, suggesting that the typical street lights would probably be more appropriate along that street frontage than the lights which are to be located within the development. Responding to questions from Commissioner Youngman, the Planning Director indicated it would be possible to require that the street lights be installed prior to development of any of the lots, rather than at the time a lot is developed, based on public safety concerns. The Planning Director noted there is extensive documentation on the installation of a traffic signal at West Main Street and Ferguson Avenue. He cautioned the Commission that, . until traffic warrants are met, the Department of Transportation will not approve the installation of that signal. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Planning Director stated that when people contact the Planning office about uses allowed in the BP district, staff not only reviews the list of uses allowed, but cautions that through the PUD process, that list of uses can be substantially expanded. Planning Director Epple continued to respond to the list of questions forwarded by Commissioner Youngman. He noted that off-site traffic impacts are a big concern with any proposal. In this instance, impacts to West Babcock Street is a concern; and that may be adequately addressed with the applicant's efforts to encourage traffic to use West Main Street and Ferguson Avenue to reach the site. e The Planning Director noted that the covenants prohibit the retail uses about which residents in the area are most concerned. He then cited several examples in Bozeman where commercial development is located adjacent to residential development, noting that through screening and other buffering mechanisms, the impacts can be minimized. He further reminded the Commission that this subject tract has always been designated for some type of 08-01-94 ..--..-.-....- - 10- technology/business development, although retail development was not allowed until the current master plan was adopted. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Planning Director stated it would be possible to extend the hours of operation to include all of the development, except possibly for e the hotel, rather than just those lots adjacent to Fallon Street. Further responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Planning Director stated it would be extremely difficult to limit the numbers of non-BP uses allowed within the development at anyone time, particularly with the potential of constantly changing uses. Commissioner Stiff stated his concerns revolve mainly around the movement of traffic. He noted that the perceived problems on Yellowstone Avenue are anticipated to increase with this development. He further noted there has been discussion about the installation of traffic circles to minimize those problems; however, he does not really support that idea. He stated, rather, the only way to solve the problem is by creating better alternatives for traffic movement that are attractive. He noted the applicant's interest in a payback mechanism for other large landowners along Ferguson Avenue, particularly in light of the fact . that a number of them along both sides of Ferguson Avenue have either submitted applications for development or are about to submit applications. He then stated that, while he recognizes that Yellowstone Avenue is a problem, no one has arrived at a good answer. He suggested that addressing Ferguson Avenue and Fallon Street might be the better approach. Commissioner Stiff noted that one of the conditions for approval of this application is that the applicant provide 15 Y2 feet of asphalt paving on Ferguson Avenue between West Babcock Street and Durston Road. He suggested that the condition be amended to require that the applicant also provide 15 Y2 feet of asphalt paving along Durston Road from Ferguson Avenue to the existing paving. Commissioner Stiff then stated that, for him to support any of the large acreage developments proposed in this area, it is imperative that the developers get together and begin e to solve the transportation problems. He noted the need to extend Fowler Avenue from U.S. Highway 191 to Durston Road, engineering design for West Babcock Street from Fowler Avenue to West Main Street and engineering design for Durston Road from North 7th Avenue to Ferguson Avenue. 08-01-94 . -_....~ --. ..... - 11 - Commissioner Stiff noted that water and sewer services are available in this area; and the area is master planned as a growth area, all the way to Cottonwood Road. He suggested that if this area is to be developed, then steps must be taken to move the traffic generated by the development. e Commissioner Frost stated it appears that three conditions need to be added to approval of this application, pertaining to (1) payback for improvements to Ferguson Avenue, (2) traffic signal at U.S. Highway 191 and Ferguson Lane and (3) street lights along Fallon Street. He suggested that a condition be added which requires that street lights be put in on Fallon Street and Valley Commons Drive in conjunction with boulevard landscaping and sidewalk improvements, noting this will eliminate the need to tear out improvements later to accommodate the installation of lights. He also noted that this will address any public safety issues that might arise if the installation of lights were tied to the development of each lot. Responding to Commissioner Stueck, Mr. Mike Potter stated that the street lights will be served by a common meter owned by the property owners' association. Responding to Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Stiff stated he feels that requiring . the large landowners along Ferguson Avenue must recognize the need to mitigate impacts on roadways which their projects may create. He stated that includes not only improvements to Ferguson Avenue but engineering design of Durston Road from Ferguson Avenue to North 7th Avenue. Commissioner Frost questioned whether the Commission can approve this application with a condition on development of other large land holdings in the immediate area. City Manager Wysocki cautioned that the Commission must act on this application as a freestanding application. He then suggested the Commission can direct staff to be aware that any development in this area must agree to participate in the improvements which have been required of this applicant for this development. Responding to Commissioner Frost, Planning Director Epple stated it is his e understanding that, prior to final site plan approval for any development projects in this area, the engineering design and specifications for improvements to West Babcock Street must be in place, based on Commission discussion surrounding other recent projects. Commissioner Frost stated he feels it is important to be fair to this developer, rather than requiring him to bear all of the costs of engineering design. 08-01-94 --.--- ....----.. ..- ---- - 12 - The City Manager suggested that it might be possible to somehow recognize this developer's upfront costs for engineering design when a special improvement district is created for installation of the improvements, provided the subject property is included within the boundaries of the district. e Planning Director Epple noted that in his letter of July 25, Mr. Potter suggests a payback for some of the major improvements. He suggested that engineering design for West Babcock Street could possibly be subject to those same payback provisions. Responding to Commissioner Stueck, City Attorney Luwe cautioned that the City cannot require the applicant to participate in the costs of any improvements that have already been installed. Commissioner Frost stated his support for including the engineering design for West Babcock Street in the payback provisions. He also stated support for the requirement for paving of Ferguson Avenue, with a payback provision, as contained in the applicant's letter of July 25. He also stated support for requiring the installation of lights along Fallon Street, citing that as a safety issue. . Commissioner Frost suggested that a condition pertaining to the traffic signal at U.S. 191 and Ferguson Avenue be added; the Planning Director suggested that revision of one of the recommended conditions could accommodate that item. Commissioner Youngman stated herconcurrencewith CommissionerStiff's comments regarding Yellowstone Avenue, noting that improvements to Ferguson Avenue, Fallon Street and Fowler Avenue should address the problems. She noted, however, that because of the number of people who are currently using Yellowstone Avenue to gain access to the new USDA building, she feels that making Yellowstone Avenue less appealing should also be considered. She suggested this could be accomplished through the installation of four-way stop signs or possibly traffic circles at Toole Street and Ravalli Street. Commissioner Frost stated his support for requiring traffic circles on Yellowstone e Avenue, noting that four-way stop signs will not meet warrants. He noted that traffic circles tend to slow traffic, which is an important factor. Commissioner Stueck stated he does not support the idea of requiring traffic circles on Yellowstone Avenue at this time. He suggested that improvements to West Babcock Street, 08-01-94 - 13 - Fowler Avenue and Ferguson Avenue should be accomplished before any changes are considered for Yellowstone Avenue. Commissioner Stiff stated his concurrence with Commissioner Stueck's comments, noting it is more important to provide better traffic circulation patterns than it is to impact e traffic movements on existing streets. City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission of the existing policy regarding traffic circles, and the fact that the policy requires the residents in the immediate area to bear the costs of a permanent traffic circle, if a temporary circle proves beneficial. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the City Manager noted that the USDA building is the only non-residential structure in the Valley Unit Subdivision at this time. He also noted that has been recently constructed; however, comments about the traffic on Yellowstone Avenue are not new. He stated that, if the Commission so desires, it could require the developer to install a couple of temporary traffic circles. Commissioner Youngman stated support for that suggestion, noting it could be removed when Ferguson Avenue and Fowler Avenue are constructed. I Commissioner Stiff stated he does not support the suggestion. Commissioner Stueck stated that the traffic circles will require engineering. He suggested that, rather than requiring the developer to install them immediately, the Commission could ask staff to address the issue. City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that Yellowstone Avenue was designed to function as it does. He noted that the subject parcel has always been designated for business park type development, with no direct access onto U.S. 191. Responding to Commissioner Stiff, the Planning Director stated that the restriction on business hours on certain lots within the development is 7:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m. He then stated that under the proposal forwarded by Commissioner Youngman, that restriction would apply to all development within the PUD except for a motel. e City Manager Wysocki asked the Commissioners to respond to the suggestion that the applicant be required to provide engineering design for West Babcock Street and Durston Road, with a possible payback provision. Commissioner Frost stated he could support the requirement for engineering design of West Babcock Street but not Durston Road. 08-01-94 - 14 - Commissioner Stueck stated concurrence, particularly because of the additional requirements for improvements to Ferguson Avenue. Commissioner Youngman stated her concurrence as well. Commissioner Stiff stated the Commission has heard more about travel on Durston e Road west from North 7th Avenue than it has heard about West Babcock Street. He stated that with improvements to Durston Road and Ferguson Avenue, the amount of traffic on that street will probably increase; and he feels it is important to upgrade the road as quickly as possible. He also noted that impact fees are not yet in place; therefore, he feels the developer should provide the improvements. Planning Director Epple suggested that it would be appropriate to expand No. 28 in Mr. Potter's letter dated July 25 to include the short strip along Durston Road. Commissioner Stiff stated he feels the large land owner to the north of Durston Road should be included in the payback, particularly if Durston Road is included in any conditions for approval of this project. Responding to questions from the Commission, Planning Director Epple stated that I the 15 Y, feet of asphalt mat being required along Ferguson Avenue and Durston Road is to be installed along the west side of the asphalt mat being required from the developers of Courtyard Subdivision, to provide an adequate pavement for two-way traffic. He stated that when the property to the west is developed, that applicant will then be required to provide paving for the west portion of the street, which will then bring the street to the designated arterial standard. City Manager Wysocki suggested the potential that the property to the west might develop before Courtyard Subdivision does. He then noted that the condition should be flexible enough to accommodate the center 15 % feet of asphalt mat being required for this project to be installed when the first half of Ferguson Road improvements are completed, on whichever side of the roadway. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Planning Director stated that revisions e to the covenants resulting from revisions to the conditions will be addressed during the final site plan review and approval process. Responding to Planning Director Epple, the Commissioners determined that the street lights along Fallon Street must be completed prior to final plat approval. They also determined 08-01-94 - 15 - that the street lights along Valley Commons Drive are to be installed in conjunction with those street improvements. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, a majority of the Commissioners stated they are comfortable with the proposed restriction on retail uses within the development. e Responding to questions from Commissioner Stiff, a majority of the Commissioners stated they do not support requiring this applicant to obtain right-of-way dedications for Fallon Street and Fowler Avenue. Mayor Vincent stated that, while he does not feel that approval of this application would be appropriate for the area, he does support requiring the installation traffic circles on Yellowstone Avenue on a temporary basis. Responding to City Attorney Luwe, a majority of the Commissioners indicated they would support adding a condition to require that temporary traffic circles be installed on Yellowstone Avenue. Mayor Vincent stated he cannot support this application, although he feels it is substantially better now that it has gone through the process than when it was first submitted. , He stated, however, the Commission cannot realistically anticipate the impacts of this subdivision, particularly since up to 78 percent of the development could be retail. He noted that type of business is designed as a magnet, to draw people; and those people will use any route they deem appropriate and convenient to access the site. He stated that, even if 80 percent of those accessing the development did so on the roads designated as the primary access corridors, that still leaves 20 percent of the traffic using neighborhood residential streets to access the site; and he finds that unacceptable. He stated that same situation is occurring throughout the older established neighborhoods in Bozeman; and he does not feel it is appropriate to encourage that same degradation of a neighborhood in a newer part of the community. Mayor Vincent stated he is also concerned about the compatibility of this proposed e development with the master plan. He recognized that the new master plan update contains a provision for flexibility, but he feels this proposed development stretches the element of flexibility beyond acceptable limits. He stated that, while the property is zoned as Business Park, in actuality, this proposal is for a shopping mall. 08-01-94 --- ..- - 16 - Mayor Vincent noted that residents in the area have testified that they purchased their homes knowing about the BP zoning, but deciding that they could live with that type of development. He noted, however, that under this application, the rules seem to have changed, so that retail development can now occur; and he feels the impacts of that type of development e are too great for a family-oriented residential neighborhood to absorb. Mayor Vincent also raised the issue of infrastructure, noting that there are several unanswered questions about when some of the improvements in this area may occur. City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that when this subdivision was originally platted, the residential area just north of the subject parcel, which was zoned T-R, Technology--Research, was zoned for high-density residential development. He noted that area was to serve as a buffer between the technological development along the highway and the lower-density residential area further to the north. He reminded the Commission, however, that the area which was originally zoned for high-density multi-family residential development has actually been developed as single-family residences; and that buffer has now been lost. The result is that two substantially more conflicting uses are now much closer together. He , cautioned that is not totally the result of this application, but is the result of development on the north side of Fallon Street as well. It was moved by Commissioner Stueck, seconded by Commissioner Frost, that the Commission approve the applications forwarded by P.C. Development, Inc., for development of 15.2 acres located in the Southeast one-quarter and Southwest one-quarter of the Southeast one-quarter of Section 10, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian, as follows: (a) for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development, under Application No. Z-9458, to allow a nine-lot business/commercial development; and (b) for a preliminary plat Planned Unit Development for Valley Commons Business Park, under Application No. P-9424, to create nine lots with a private street, subject to the following conditions: 1. Seven copies of the final site plan for the Planned Unit e Development which contains all of the conditions, corrections, and modifications approved by the City Commission shall be approved by the Planning Director within three years following the approval of the preliminary plan by the Bozeman City Commission. Upon application and for good cause, the Planning Director may administratively extend the period for filing a final site plan for two successive six-month periods. Any additional six-month extension must be approved, if at all, only by the Planning Board. The final site plan shall comply with Section 18.54.060{C) of the Bozeman Zoning Ordinance, as printed in the 9-93 Codification of 08-01-94 __.___._..u.__ ~'-,.._- - 17 - the Bozeman Municipal Code. The final site plan must be approved prior to final subdivision plat approval. The applicant shall enter into an Improvements Agreement with the City to guarantee the installation of required on-site improvements at the time of final site plan submittal. These improvements will include the U.S. 191 pedestrian path and landscaping within one year of final subdivision plat recording, and e the walks, berms and landscape improvements to Valley Commons Park, within three years of final subdivision plat recording. Detailed cost estimates, construction plans and methods of security for on-site improvements shall be made a part of that Agreement; 2. That the final subdivision plat shall conform to the Uniform Standards for final subdivision plats, contain all appropriate certificates, page titles, and be accompanied by all appropriate documents, including a Platting Certificate. The final subdivision plat must be approved within three years from the date of preliminary approval by the Bozeman City Commission. Prior to the expiration date, the subdivider may submit a letter of request to the Planning Director for a one year extension. Thereafter, the City Commission may approve an extension for not more than one additional calendar year. The final subdivision plat may not be filed until the final site plan is approved. If it is the developer's intent to file the final subdivision plat prior to the completion of all required subdivision improvements, which includes, but is not limited to, interior I streets, curb, gutter, water and sewer, and Ferguson Avenue paving, curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements, a Subdivision Improvements Agreement shall be entered into with the City of Bozeman guaranteeing the completion of all improvements in accordance with the preliminary plat submittal information and conditions of approval. If the final subdivision plat is filed prior to the installation of all improvements, the developer shall supply the City of Bozeman with an acceptable method of security equal to 150% of the cost of the remaining improvements; 3. Approval of the final subdivision plat from the Subdivision Program of the Montana Department of Health and Environmental Sciences Water Quality Bureau must occur prior to Final Subdivision Plat approval, pursuant to Section 16.16.101 through 16.16.805, ARM. The appropriate review fee for that review must be submitted to the Planning Office so it may be forwarded to the Water Quality Bureau with all other applicable information; 4. The development's Design Guidelines shall be amended as follows and submitted to the Planning Office for approval prior to final site plan approval: e a. Submittal & Review Process - #2(c) Final Plan Review (oage 3): Amend last sentence to: "If the building complies with the Master plan as approved by the City of Bozeman, only an in-house review by the City Planning, Water, Fire and Building Departments shall be required." b. Section I.B.2 (oage 7): Amend fourth paragraph to indicate that interior modifications and/or improvements 08-01-94 - 18 - to existing buildings will require a City of Bozeman Building Permit. c. Section I.B.3(b and c) (oage 10): Amend these sections to clearly discuss the role of the building envelope and building footprints. e d. Section II.A.2 (oage 12): This section clarifies the need for sight triangles, per the Zoning Ordinance, and is duplicative of the Ordinance. If is not necessary to be in the Guidelines, but can remain for clarification, if desired. e. Section II.A.3 (oace 12): This section requires each structure to provide parking according to the standards established in the PUD Master Plan. This section should be amended to state "as established by the City of Bozeman" . f. Section II.A.5 (oace 14): This section on public terraces should be clarified to be more explicit about the meaning of the word "enhance", by clarifying common materials, axial arrangement, etc. g. Section II.B.4 (oage 16): This section requires that garbage shall be kept except in sanitary, bearproof containers. Staff questions the need for bearproof containers in the City of Bozeman. I h. Section II.B.5 (page 16): This section on Screen Service Areas should be made more explicit, perhaps by adding "similar/same materials", and that the screens shall be integrated with the building design or designed as a "mini-building" if completely detached. The maximum height of 1 0 feet seems excessive, without detailing provided from each screen. Could perhaps be something that could be reviewed by the CDR and Staff during building permit review. i. Section II.B.6 and 7 (oace 17): An illustration should be used to explain acceptable and unacceptable examples of exterior lighting and site accessories. The specification that all white or all pale yellow lighting is good. j. Section II.C.3 (oage 19); Should amend last sentence to state that the deciduous trees and shrubs should (instead of can) be placed on southern and western sides. A basic idea of how many plants are sufficient should also be incorporated into this section. e k. Section II.C.5 (oage 19): The paragraph with regard to sturdy plant types in the snow storage areas shows good forethought in planning. I. Section II.C.12 (oage 22): Installation of common improvements. Page 18 of the Traffic Study (Section IV) states that the developer "will participate in their share of their impacts by" completing curb/gutter and sidewalk along the east edge of Ferguson Avenue, construction of Valley Commons Drive (including 08-01-94 - 19 - curb/gutter), pedestrian pathway along US 191, perimeter sidewalks along Fallon Street, and participation in the cost of signalization at US 191 and Ferguson. The "common improvements" referred to in Section II.C.12 include those in the boulevard of Valley Commons Drive and in the Common Open Space to the e south and the Common Open Space easement on Lot 7. This section should be amended to read as follows, to comply with existing City policy: 12.a) City standard sidewalks shall be constructed on all public and private street frontages on each lot prior to occupancy of any structure on the lot. Upon the third anniversary of the plat recordation of any phase of the subdivision, any lot owner who has not constructed said sidewalk shall, without further notice, construct said sidewalk for their lot(s), regardless of whether other improvements have been made on the lot. 12.b) Boulevard landscaping shall be installed on all public and private street frontages on each lot in conjunction with sidewalk installation. , 12.c) Common area landscaping shall be installed at the time each lot is developed, or within three years of the plat recordation. 12.d) The park areas shall be installed within three years from the date of plat recordation, or at the time 50 percent of the lots are developed, whichever first occurs. m. Section III.B.1 (oage 24): In addition to the diagram provided for roof pitches, the narrative should state the roof styles generally accepted. Based on the "wall form" section, a note should be added here that roof forms should visually correlate to the exterior wall forms. n. Section III.B.3 (oage 25): The entry definition generally discusses roof forms and overhangs. Something should be added that the entrys should be emphasized, perhaps through the use of columns, fenestration, materials around the door, overscaled, doors, etc., as examples of types of emphasis. The e conflict between the text and the sketch shall be eliminated. o. Section 111.8.4 (oage 26): This section on skylights and solar collectors appears somewhat ambiguous. It should be noted that skylights and solar collectors "should be designed as an integral part of the structure" . 08-01-94 .-.- - .___u --------------- - - 20 - p. Section III.B.5 (oaae 26): The Architectural Reviewer has noted that this is a good section. q. Section IV.B.1 (oaae 28): A note is made that this section may be too limiting. Areas of masonry in addition to the base of exterior wall surfaces may complement a structure if an entire massing is covered. However, if it is the developer's intent that masonry e may only be used at the base of exterior wall surfaces, that is acceptable. r. Section IV.B.2 (oage 29): Stone should be added to the list of materials that may be used to finish foundation exposure over 8 inches, to correlate to Section IV.B.1. s. Section IV.B.3 (oage 29): As in letter "0" above, coverage of an entire massing with stucco would be acceptable with the Architectural Reviewer, but the change is not mandated. t. Section IV.B.4 (oage 29): Specific examples of the siding should be given, i.e., lap - 6" or less exposure, shiplap, etc. u. Section IV.B.5 (oage 30): The second paragraph could be clarified by stating that "No chimney enclosures shall be clad in wood or non-masonrv aooearing materials." I v. Section IV.C.1 (oage 31 ): This section on scale, composition and proportion of exterior windows and doors appears to want distinction between "wall" and "fenestration", and should be clarified to say so. Also, the window and door patterns and reveals should be designed to create interest and variety, not just be "carefully studied". w. Section IV.D.1 (oage 33): This section on porch and balcony design should describe the spatial relationship of porches and balconies to buildings. This relationship is already illustrated, but the text demands compliance; sketches are only viewed as illustrations. The definition should stay in line with the design and architectural standard. x. Section IV.E (Daae 34): Examples of the earth tones and accent colors should be listed, i.e. "such as: " The color scheme shall not eliminate the -- possibility of strong accent colors, and should not be so limiting that the colors become monotonous. e y. Section VI.C (oage 38) and Section VI.D (page 39): Section C should be redrafted to clarify that signs will be reviewed with the building design and site elements and features for compatibility of size, material, color. Also, a 250-square-foot wall-mounted sign which identifies multiple tenants in a single building is very excessive. This section must be completely revisited so that a maximum area is designated for these signs (such 08-01-94 .--- --.- ------.. - 21 - as 30-40 square feet or a certain percentage of the wall area, like 5%), z. Section D: Must be reworked, so that there is only 250 square feet (or the lesser of 2% or 1.5 linear feet) of signage total on anyone building. aa. The Design Guidelines narrative shall clarify that e street lights, as shown on the Valley Commons Drive Typical Streetscape Section, shall be installed at the time Valley Commons Drive is developed; 5.

The level of Service evaluation for the intersection of Ferguson Avenue and US 191, as well as the engineer's basis for the signal warrant, shall be submitted to the City Engineer prior to final site approval; e 16. A Stormwater Master Plan for the subdivision for a system designed to remove solids, silt, oils, grease, and other pollutants from the runoff from the public streets and all lots must be provided to and approved by the City Engineer prior to final site plan approval. While the runoff for the individual lots will be dependent on the intensity of use on each lot, the maximum sizing of the storm retention facilities for each lot will be established based on maximum site development. Final facility sizing may be reviewed and reduced during design review of the final site plan for each lot. The Master Plan must depict the maximum sized detention or retention basin location, and locate and provide easements for adequate drainage ways within the subdivision to transport runoff to the stormwater receiving channel.

Section 11. T2S. R5E. MPM (3290 West Babcock Street) This was the time and place for the decision on the applications forwarded by Lonny and Kim Walker for development of 7.4 acres known as Certificate of Survey No. 522, located in the southwest one-quarter of Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian, as follows: (a) for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development, under Application No. Z-9470, to allow a 45-lot development for single-family, detached , manufactured and modular housing units; and (bl for a preliminary plat Planned Unit Development for Countryside Subdivision, under Application No. P-9428, to create a 45-lot subdivision. The subject property is more commonly located at 3290 West Babcock. City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a letter from Mr. Lonny Walker, received on July 26, requesting that action on this item be delayed for a period of one week 08-01-94 - 26 - since he is out of town today. He then cautioned the Commission that a preliminary plat is involved; and the applicant has previously granted an extension of the GO-day review period through today. He noted this letter does not address the issue of granting an additional one- week extension in conjunction with the requested delay of action. , City Attorney Luwe suggested that if the Commission wishes to honor the applicant's request, it would be appropriate to grant the requested one-week delay on the decision, with the understanding that the request includes a one-week extension and, if it does not, that the project is denied. He cautioned that if the Commission does not take action within the specified review period, an automatic approval results. He stated it appears that the applicant intended to grant the one-week extension in conjunction with his request for delay, although that is not specifically stated in the letter. It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that the Commission delay action on this item for a period of one week, as requested by the applicant, with the understanding that the request includes a one-week extension and, if it does not, that the applications for development of 7.4 acres known as Certificate of Survey No. e 522, located in the southwest one-quarter of Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian, as follows: (a) for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development, under Application No. Z-9470, to allow a 45-lot development for single-family, detached manufactured and modular housing units; and (b) for a preliminary plat Planned Unit Development for Countryside Subdivision, under Application No. P-9428, to create a 45-lot subdivision, be denied. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Stueck and Mayor Vincent; those voting No, none. Discussion - status reDort re closure of Perkins Place Clerk of the Commission Sullivan stated that just prior to the meeting, she received . a letter from Ms. Lisa Banick, attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Svehla, requesting that this item be deferred until August 15. City Attorney Luwe reminded the Commission that this item is strictly listed as a status report, with no action scheduled at this time. 08-01-94 --,,--,.. .- .------... . --..---- - 27 - Due to the lateness of the meeting and due to the fact that Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson Goehrung had left for the day, the Commission delayed this item until August 15. Commissioner Youngman requested that the language of the item be revised on that , agenda to allow for Commission action. Ordinance No. - Tentative Accrocriation Ordinance for Fiscal Year 1994-1995 City Manager Wysocki presented the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance for Fiscal Year 1994-1995, approved by the City Attorney, entitled: ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, APPROPRIATING CITY FUNDS FOR VARIOUS BUDGET UNIT EXPENDITURES, AND FURTHER APPROPRIATING REVENUE NECESSARY TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN CITY SERVICES FOR SALARIES, OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL FOR EACH OPERATIONAL BUDGET UNIT OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1995. The City Manager reminded the Commission that this ordinance has been prepared _ after several work sessions on his recommendations for the Fiscal Year 1994-1995 budget. He then recommended that the Commission adopt this ordinance and set a public hearing for August 22. It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commission adopt the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance for Fiscal Year 1994-1995, and set the public hearing for August 22, 1994. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Stueck, Commissioner Frost and Mayor Vincent; those voting No, none. Break - 5:10 to 5:13 c.m. Mayor Vincent declared a break from 5: 1 0 p.m. to 5: 13 p.m., in accordance with I Commission policy established at their meeting of March 14, 1983. Discussion - FYI Items City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following "For Your Information" items. 08-01-94 ---.. -.-- -" .., --..------ .. " -- ----.-".. - 28 - (1 ) Letter of resignation from the Design Review Board, as submitted by Matthew Brower, dated July 27, 1994, (2) Status report on design and construction of specific transportation projects for the month of July 1994. , (3) Summary sheet on the list of transportation projects to be funded through a general obligation bond issue. Commissioner Stiff suggested that a footnote should be included which indicates that the Durston Road project is phased, and that the extent of the improvements is dependent upon the potential decrease in traffic as a result of the North 19th Avenue improvements, and stipulating that any monies set aside for this project but not used would be transferred to the Front Street project, The City Manager reminded the Commission of his position that the entire street should be completed, He particularly emphasized the need for sidewalks, since there are three schools in close proximity to this roadway. Commissioner Frost stated he feels the project should be left as it is. He noted that e the figure in this summary assumes that the roadway must be completely rebuilt, including new base and, in fact, it may be possible to use much of the existing base. He then stated that any monies not spent for complete improvements to Durston Road between North 7th Avenue and North 19th Avenue could be earmarked for the Front Street project. Commissioner Stueck and Commissioner Youngman stated concurrence with Commissioner Frost's comments. Commissioner Stiff stated he views this as four separate projects, being the intersections of Durston Road with North 7th Avenue, North 11th Avenue and North 15th Avenue and the remainder of the roadway. He noted that the total of the three intersection projects was approximately $ Y2 million in the transportation plan. He stated that if the only remaining concern after those intersection improvements have been made is the installation of . sidewalks to ensure the safety of the children, that can be accomplished for less than $ 800,000. City Manager Wysocki asked that the Commission give him final direction on the list of projects at next week's meeting. He reminded them that the ballot question must be 08-01-94 . -.----- .. -----.---. ---- .-...----.. -..- .-. ..---- - ~- - 29 - forwarded to the County soon; and the list of projects must be finalized so that information on the bond issue can be prepared. Commissioner Stueck suggested that the extension of North 15th Avenue from West Main Street to West Babcock Street should be reconsidered. He noted that if the street is , extended. it will eliminate the parking lot for the Round House and will. in fact. be very close to the building. He also noted there is a large white house fronting on Babcock which sits in the middle of the right-of-way. He then questioned whether the amount listed for this project is sufficient if the right-of-way for this street has not already been acquired. Responding to the City Manager, a majority of the Commissioners indicated they feel it would be appropriate for the Director of Public Service to carefully review that figure again. (4) Copy of a notice that the deadline for filing to serve on the study commission is 5:00 p.m. on August 25. (5) Copy of the analysis of rates for the solid waste activities.

Commissioner Frost noted the differences between the governments in the two countries. In Italy, the government decides what is to be done; and the public is not involved. Also, revenues are not generated locally, but come from the unified European market, the central government or the regional government. Preservation of Italy's history is viewed as . important; and the government is now taking back those items they feel are important to the country's history to ensure that they are appropriately preserved. He then noted that many of the items being preserved in Italy date back 2600 years. Commissioner Frost stated that during the meeting, he indicated to Dr. Arturo that one of the biggest concerns in Bozeman is the traffic.

Mayor Vincent reconvened the meeting at 7:00 p.m., for the purpose of conducting the scheduled public hearings. Public hearing - Commission Resolution No. 2987 - intent to create Special Improvement District No. 663 - Davina and storm drainage - West Oak Street west of North 19th Avenue This was the time and place set for the public hearing on Commission Resolution No. 2987, as approved by the City Attorney, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2987 e A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, DECLARING IT TO BE THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN TO CREATE AN EXTENDED SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 663 FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE ENGINEERING DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, INSPECTION AND ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION OF ASPHALT CEMENT PAVING, GRAVEL BASE COURSES AND SUBGRADE PREPARATION, CURB, GUTTER AND SIDEWALKS, STORM DRAINAGE AND ALL NECESSARY APPURTENANCES TO CONSTRUCT A 1,642-FOOT PORTION OF WEST OAK STREET, FROM THE WEST EDGE OF NORTH 19TH AVENUE WEST, IN THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA. Mayor Vincent opened the public hearing. Director of Public Service Phill Forbes stated that this proposed special improvement district is an extended district for paving, curb, gutter, sidewalks and storm drainage improvements on a section of West Oak Street extending west from North 19th Avenue a I distance of 1,642 feet, which is approximately the west edge of the existing Annie Park. He reviewed the boundaries of the proposed district, which are North 19th Avenue on the east, Annie Street on the south, an extension of the west edge of the existing Annie Park on the west and a line just south of the quarter section line on the north. He stated that, included within the boundaries of the proposed district, is Brentwood Subdivision, Phase I. 08-01-94 -- - 34- Director of Public Service Forbes stated the road is to be constructed at a width of 42 feet, back-of-curb to back-of-curb, which is the City's collector street standard. The estimated cost of the project is $239,600, or approximately 6 cents per square foot. The City Engineer has estimated that the average lot containing 8,300 square feet will be assessed . $507, based on the estimated cost of the project. The life of the special improvement district is fifteen years, with semi-annual assessments. Responding to Commissioner Stueck, the Director stated that this district has been requested by 66 percent of the owners within the district. Mr. Mike Mazzatti, 1128 Woodland. expressed concern that a map of the proposed district was not included with the notice which was mailed to the residents or in the advertisement in the newspaper. He then questioned why the property immediately to the south of Brentwood, Phase I, was not included in the district. He suggested that those properties will also benefit from the extension of West Oak Street and, therefore, should be included within the district. He asked if it would be possible to reconsider the boundaries of the district, so that it includes what was originally platted as Annie Subdivision, Phase I. e Mr. Mazzatti stated he is not opposed to the westward extension of West Oak Street, because it will provide easy access for residents within the Brentwood Subdivision, rather than limiting their options to Durston Road only. He noted that, because of its crowded condition, most people within the Annie Subdivision will probably utilize the West Oak Street extension instead of Durston Road and should, therefore, contribute toward those costs. Mr. Mazzatti then stated that, because a map was not included with the notice which was published in the newspaper, it may be difficult for those who are not used to reading legal descriptions to determine what properties are included within this proposed special improvement district. He also noted that in the information which was received by the individual property owners, there was no reference to the term of the SID. Mr. Bob Braaksma, 1208 Woodland, noted that the traffic problems in Bozeman are I evident. He also noted there was an article in last week's newspaper about the Commission making plans to ask the voters to approve a bond issue to fund several transportation projects to improve traffic circulation. He then asked about the possibility of the residents in Brentwood Subdivision receiving a credit on the amount to be paid for retirement of the bond issue for the 08-01-94 - 35 - transportation projects in the same amount as the assessments which they are paying for improvements to West Oak Street. Mrs. Carolyn Mazzatti, 1128 Woodland, stated her concern isn't necessarily about the proposed special improvement district; rather, it is a concern about the increased amount I of traffic on her street. She suggested that, since her street is located very close to an elementary school, a 15-mile-per-hour speed zone may be necessary to ensure the safety of the children. She then questioned the value of this access to North 19th Avenue, particularly if no traffic signal is planned for the intersection of North 19th Avenue and West Oak Street. City Attorney Luwe stated that to change the boundaries of the district, the Commission must pass a new resolution of intent to create the special improvement district and complete the advertising process once again. He cautioned that all properties within the boundaries of the district must receive benefit from the improvement being installed, and that the benefit is in proportion to the assessment that is to be levied. Director of Public Service Forbes stated that the process of setting boundaries for a special improvement district is often a judgment call, noting that the criteria he follows revolve e around whether or not the properties will be benefitted in proportion to the cost. He stated that, because the R-4 zoned lots in Annie Subdivision are so close to Durston Road, he felt that they would, in fact, use Durston Road rather than Oak Street. He recognized that all streets in town are used by the traveling public, who do not contribute to the costs of a particular street; however, they have probably participated in some portion of the network system. He then indicated that staff drew the boundary where it was determined the benefit could be identified. The Director of Public Service stated that the School District property is included in the district and will be assessed for its proportionate share of the improvements. He noted that the transportation plan does not include a traffic signal at the intersection of North 19th Avenue and West Oak Street; however, he does anticipate that a signal will be installed at the I intersection of North 19th Avenue and Durston Road within the next few years. Responding to Mayor Vincent, Director of Public Service Forbes stated this subject section of West Oak Street is not in the peripheral loop system, while the sections of West Oak Street between North 19th Avenue and North 7th Avenue and between North 7th Avenue and North Rouse Avenue are included in that system. He stated, instead, this segment is classified 08-01-94 ....-.---.-..---...-- --.-- - 36 - as a collector. He then reminded the Commission that the section of West Oak Street from North 19th Avenue and North 7th Avenue is one of the City's top priority projects to be funded through Federal Aid Urban monies. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Director stated that the impending . development of Brentwood Subdivision, Phase II, is one of the primary reasons for considering this special improvement district. He noted that the developer of Brentwood, Phase II, and the landowner to the north represent 66 percent of the total property ownership; and they have combined to request that this special improvement district be created. City Manager Wysocki cautioned the Commission that if the general obligation bond issue passes, all property owners must be assessed equally for retirement of that debt. He stated that, because of that requirement, the credit proposed by Mr. Braaksma cannot be considered. Responding to Mayor Vincent, City Attorney Luwe stated the letter from Dr. Kenneth Lane, 905 Woodland Drive, was received late and, therefore, cannot be considered a part of the testimony in opposition to the creation of this special improvement district. e The City Manager entered into the record letters from Tom and Shari McCoy, 1103 Brentwood Avenue, dated July 25; Gretchen L. Karstens, 1002 Brentwood Drive, dated July 19; Mr. R.L. Lindstrom, 1213 Brentwood, received on July 26; and Carlos William and Ann M. de Onis, 918 Woodland Drive, dated July 28, 1994. Responding to Mayor Vincent, Director of Public Service Forbes reminded the Commission that the list of proposed projects to be included in the general obligation bond issue is taken from the transportation plan update. He stated that, while this segment of West Oak Street will provide a valuable link to the loop roadway system and will be used extensively by residents of the immediate area, it will not improve the overall traffic circulation for the entire community like the segments of West Oak Street between North 19th Avenue and North 7th Avenue and between North 7th Avenue and North Rouse Avenue will. I Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Director of Public Service stated it is typical to have assessments for more than one street against a parcel. He further noted it is not uncommon to have assessments for water and sewer extensions against those parcels as well. 08-01-94 - 37 - Since there was no Commissioner objections, Mayor Vincent closed the public hearing. City Attorney Luwe reminded the Commission that the first determination is whether there are sufficient protests to bar further proceedings; and in this instance his recommendation I is that the Commission determine there are not. He noted the Commission must then determine whether it wishes to proceed with creation of the special improvement district. It was moved by Commissioner Stueck, seconded by Commissioner Frost, that the Commission determine that there are not sufficient written protests to bar further action, and authorize and direct staff to bring back a resolution of creation for Commission consideration. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Stueck, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Stiff and Mayor Vincent; those voting No, none. Public hearing - Conditional Use Permit - Marian Steffes and JoseDh Mangiantini for the Cauahlin Estate - allow conversion of existing single-familv residence to "Bear Creek Respite Care Center" . a arOUD home for adults with functional imDairments - Tract 1 and 2. Lonaacres Subdivision (1002 East Kagy Boulevard) (Z-9474) e This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit requested by Marian Steffes and Joseph Mangiantini for the Caughlin Estate, under Application No. Z-9474, to allow conversion of an existing single-family residence located on Tracts 1 and 2, Longacres Subdivision, into "Bear Creek Respite Care Center", a group home for adults with functional impairments. The subject property is more commonly located at 1 002 East Kagy Boulevard. Mayor Vincent opened the public hearing. Planning Director Andy Epple presented the staff report. He stated that under this application, the applicant wishes to convert a 2,400-square-foot single-family residence into a day care facility for the elderly, with provision for some overnight and weekend I accommodations. He noted that up to six can be accommodated as day care clients, with a total of no more than eleven on the site at anyone time. He stated the subject house is located on the south side of Kagy Boulevard between Sourdough Road and Highland Boulevard and is zoned R-S, Residential Suburban. 08-01-94 ____ _____.. n__ -------- --.---- --- - 38 - The Planning Director noted the need for this type of facility in the community, noting that it will provide a safe, protective setting for the clients, who are unable to stay at home alone. He stated this type of facility is classified as a community residential facility because of the overnight services to be provided, which has triggered the conditional use process. Five I beds are to be provided for overnight services. which will allow those individuals to stay at the facility. The Planning Director stated that alterations to the existing single-family structure will consist of interior remodeling, with a minimum of exterior work and site work to provide some off-street parking spaces. Signage for the facility will be limited to information on the mail box on Kagy Boulevard, which staff has determined is consistent with signage in a residential zoning district. Planning Director Epple stated the subject property is not within the city limits and is not serviced by City water or sewer services. He then noted that single-family residential properties surround this site. The Planning Director ind:tated that staff has reviewed this application in light of the e six criteria for review of conditional use permits; and the comprehensive staff findings are contained in the written staff report, which was previously submitted to the Commission. He briefly highlighted some of the findings contained in that staff report, noting that four parking spaces, in addition to the two in the garage, will be needed for guests. The driveway does not meeting required width standards for commercial development, since it is only 16 feet wide. However, with the minimum amount of traffic anticipated for this use, the Director of Public Service has granted a variance to allow the existing driveway to remain. He noted that, while the average daily trips for a single-family residence are estimated at 9.55 trips per day, it is projected this use will generate 13 trips per day. He characterized this as an insignificant increase, which the existing roadways can easily accommodate. The Planning Director stated that the only pUblic comment received to date was from I a neighbor immediately to the east, who was concerned that the driveway would be upgraded with this proposal. Planning Director Epple stated that, after reviewing this application in light of the criteria set forth, staff forwarded its recommendation for approval, subject to thirteen 08-01-94 - .-... .___u_ _.__. - 39 - conditions. Following its public hearing on this application at its meeting of July 19, the City- County Planning Board concurred in that recommendation. Mr. Joe Mangiantini, applicant, stated that a recent survey on needs in the community revealed that a transitional home for people coming home from the hospital or recuperating I from a long illness is an identified need. He stated that his wife has been a registered nurse for twenty years, eight of those being in geriatrics. He then indicated a willingness to respond to questions. Mr. Don Walters, 2200 West Dickerson Avenue, No. 83, stated he is coordinator for the American Association of Retired Persons and is on the board of the Gallatin County Council on Aging. He noted the increasing number of seniors, and the fact that those seniors want to stay out of a nursing home as long as possible. He stated that this facility will provide a place for people to take their elderly while they go shopping, go for a holiday, or some other activity which takes them away from home. He then encouraged Commission approval of this application. Ms. Mary Vant Hull, 416 East Story Street, stated this is one of the most community- e friendly facilities that has been before the Commission for consideration. She then encouraged approval of this application. Mr. Sherm Janke, 415 North 17th Avenue, stated he owns the vacant lot to the west of this subject property. He stated his support for the application, noting that it will provided a much-needed service in the community. He also noted the surroundings are very pleasant. He indicated that his only reservation was with the adequacy of the existing septic system; however, the applicants have alleviated that concern by indicating a willingness to work with the Gallatin County Health Department to upgrade the system if it is deemed necessary. Mr. Rodney Fulton, Executive Director of Child Care Connections, stated support for this proposal. He noted that his business is no longer strictly limited to child care, but involves dependent care. Because of the fact that elderly day care services do not currently exist in I Bozeman, he has no opportunity for referrals in that area. He then encouraged the Commission to approve this application, noting it will break ground for providing this type of service in our community . Mr. Chuck Peden, 507 Ice Pond Road, stated that both of the applicants were students of his at MSU; and he feels that with their backgrounds, experience and personalities, 08-01-94 - 40 - that they will be successful in this endeavor. He then encouraged Commission approval of this application. Responding to Mayor Vincent, Mr. Mangiantini stated that they will provide as much transportation of clients as possible with their van, thus minimizing the amount of traffic on the I driveway. He then noted that they will make sure that the driveway is maintained so that people can gain access to their facility. Since there was no Commissioner objections, Mayor Vincent closed the pUblic hearing. There were no Commissioner objections to waiving the customary one-week waiting period for land use decisions, so the Commission proceeded to the motion and vote. It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that the Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by Marian Steffes and Joseph Mangiantini for the Caughlin Estate, under Application Z-9474, to allow conversion of an existing single-family residence to "Bear Creek Respite Care Center", a group home for adults with functional impairments, located on Tracts 1 and 2 of Longacres Subdivision, subject to . the following conditions: 1. That four on-site parking spaces be created near the structure, with the design to comply with Code. Specifically, the parking spaces must be paved, provide adequate back-up and/or turning maneuverability, have wheel stops, and may not be "stacked". The location of the parking spaces shall be shown on the final site plan, for the final review and approval by the Planning Staff. Additional landscaping may be required on the perimeter of the parking area to ensure adequate buffering of adjoining property. 2. The final site plan shall include a detail of any proposed signage. Per the Sign Code, signs in the R-S zoning district are limited to two square feet in size. 3. The Gallatin County Environmental Health Office must verify, in writing, that the septic and well systems on the subject site are adequate for the proposed use, prior to final site plan approval. 4.

The property owners shall provide and file with the County Clerk and Recorder's office executed Waivers of Right to Protest Creation of SIDs, which shall specify that in the event SID's are not utilized for the completion of these projects, the property owner shall agree to participate in an alternate financing method for completion of said improvements on a fair share, proportionate basis as determined by square footage of the property, linear front 08-01-94 . -..- - 41 - footage of the property, taxable valuation of the property, or combination thereof. The Waiver shall include the following: a. Street improvements to Kagy Boulevard including paving, curb/gutter, sidewalk, and storm drainage. b. Signalization at Kagy Boulevard and Sourdough Road. I 6. Seven copies of the final plan containing all of the conditions, corrections, and modifications approved by the City Commission shall be submitted for review and approved by the Planning Director within six months of the date of City Commission approval; 7. The applicant shall enter into an Improvements Agreement with the City to guarantee the installation of required on~site improvements at the time of final plan submittal. Detailed cost estimates, construction plans and methods of security shall be made a part of that Agreement; 8. If occupancy of the structure or commencement of the use is to occur prior to the installation of all improvements, the Improvements Agreement must be secured by a method of security equal to one and one-half times the amount of the estimated cost of the scheduled improvements not yet installed. Said method of security shall be valid for a period of not less than twelve (12) months; however, all on-site improvements shall be completed by the applicant within nine (9) months of occupancy to avoid default on the method of security; . 9. A building permit shall be obtained from the City of Bozeman Building Department for the interior remodel prior to commencement of the remodeling; 10.

The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being I Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Stueck and Mayor Vincent; those voting No, none. 08-01-94 - 42 - Continued Dublic hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Planned Unit Development - Kevin and Shellv Shrover - to allow develODment of 22.94-acre residential develoDment - located in the NW%. Section 16. T1 S. R6E. MPM (500 Bozeman Trail Road) (Z-9480) This was the time and place set for the continued public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development as requested by Kevin and Shelly Shroyer, under I Application No. Z-9480, to allow residential development on 22.94-acre located in the Northwest one-quarter, Section 16, Township 1 South, Range 6 East, Montana Principal Meridian. The subject is property is more commonly located at 500 Bozeman Trail Road. Mayor Vincent opened the continued public hearing. Senior Planner Dave Skelton presented the staff report. He stated that under this application, the applicant is proposing to convert approximately 23 acres of agricultural land into 18 residential suburban lots, which will be developed in two phases. An internal looped road system is designed to provide access onto Bozeman Trail Road, which is designated as a rural minor collector. The Senior Planner stated that the property immediately to the north, which is owned by Mike and Judy Meagher, was subdivided into nine lots under a major subdivision review . approximately 1 y, years ago. As that subdivision is developed, it is anticipated that the internal road systems will connect, thus providing an access onto Haggerty Lane. The Senior Planner stated that under this subdivision, 3.72 acres of open space is to be provided, with that open space following along topographical features, including two drainage swales. Approximately 1.4 acres of dedicated parkland is proposed along the south boundary which will link with the trail easement on the property immediately to the south. Senior Planner Skelton noted that this application appears to be consistent with the trend in that immediate area. He stated the vicinity map shows the substantial amount of development which is occurring, through both the major subdivision and the minor subdivision processes. Senior Planner Dave Skelton reminded the Commission that in June 1994, they I approved an application for a zone map amendment to change the zoning on this parcel from A-S, Agricultural Suburban, to R-S, Residential Suburban. He stated that the application currently under consideration is a two-part application. The first part is for a subdivision, which will be considered by the County Commission; and the second part is for a conditional use permit for a planned unit development, which is the subject of this continued public hearing. 08-01-94 - 43 - The Senior Planner stated that staff has reviewed this application in light of the extensive review criteria set forth for planned unit developments as well as the six criteria set forth for conditional use permits. He stated that the staff's comprehensive findings are contained in the written staff report, which was previously submitted to the Commission. He I briefly highlighted those findings, noting that this application will result in an average gross density of one residence per acre. The Senior Planner stated that the Design Review Board reviewed this application and proposed that the parkland be moved to a central location in the development, where it would be more beneficial to the residents than its proposed location along the southern boundary. Under the Planned Unit Development chapter of the zone code, 30 percent open space, exclusive of required setbacks, is required. He noted that, after calculating the amount of open space proposed, staff has determined that the proposal is .711 acres short of open space, which must be provided if this application is approved. The Senior Planner stated that the proposed lots will range from 3/4 acre to 1 acre in size, and will accommodate single-family homes. He emphasized the fact that no density e bonus is being requested under this application; and it is designed for single-family residential development only. He stated that, because of those facts, the architectural and design guidelines are not as stringent or comprehensive as those for the Fort Ellis Leisure Community, which is east of the subject site. Senior Planner Skelton stated that this application will result in 23 to 24 dwelling units on a site which contains approximately 23 acres; and that is in compliance with the master plan. The identified physical constraints on the site, which include the two swales, impact approximately 20 percent of the total site, thus reducing the developable acreage to 18 acres. The Senior Planner stated that Mr. James Kurk, Chief of the Fort Ellis Volunteer Fire District, has asked that the applicant provide an on-site fill site to ensure adequate fire protection. This fill site is to be located in a manner that will allow it to be shared by this I subdivision as well as Meagher's subdivision to the north. He noted that the developer is proposing to improve the trails in a four-foot-wide format with wood chips, with landscaping on each side. In addition, the dedicated parkland is to be landscaped in a manner similar to the trail system; and the streetscape is to be completed in compliance with the zone code. 08-01-94 - --------- u..______..._ ~ - 44- Senior Planner Skelton stated that the City-County Planning Board conducted its public hearing on this application at its meeting held on July 19. Following that public hearing, the Planning Board forwarded its recommendation for approval of the conditional use permit, subject to twelve conditions. I Mr. Keith Belden, Morrison-Maierle/CSSA, engineering consultant representing the applicant, stated a willingness to respond to questions. He also noted that the applicant is willing to accept the conditions which have been recommended by the Planning staff and the Planning Board. Responding to Commissioner Stueck, the Senior Planner stated that the Planning Board felt that the parkland would best serve the subdivision if it were more centrally located. They further determined that this would be preferable to trying to use the parkland as a buffer from the helicopter business to the south. He then stated that the helicopter operation is not immediately to the south, but there is one property owner in between. Responding to the City Manager, the Senior Planner stated that, prior to purchasing lots along the southern boundary of this development, potential buyers will have an opportunity . to assess those lots in relationship to the heliport., He noted that since the heliport is private, it does not have many restrictions on approaches and take-offs. Responding to comments from Senior Planner Skelton, Mr. Belden stated that, in addition to using parkland along the southern boundary to serve as a buffer from the heliport, it was to be used as a community drainfield since that is the flattest portion of the subject site. He noted that the more interior location is marginal; however, he believes that it can serve as a community drainfield as well. Responding to questions from Commissioner Youngman, Mr. Belden indicated that another segment can be added to the trail system to provide the link through which residents within this development can gain access to the trail system in this area. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, Senior Planner Skelton stated the road I within this development is to be a 24-foot-wide paved road with two-foot-wide gravel shoulders. Commissioner Youngman noted that when the original minor subdivision was created, this entire parcel under consideration for further subdivision was the open space for the four lots that were created. She expressed concern that with this major subdivision, there will be 08-01-94 --.. ---.,.---- - 45 - no open space for the original four lots. She noted that the 30-percent open space requirement for this development has been based on only the 18 + acres under consideration at this time, not the total of 22 + acres in the entire parcel. Senior Planner Skelton reminded the Commission that this is a conditional use permit I process, under which innovative design can be considered. He then stated that if the Commission does not believe that the open space and dedicated parkland under this proposal are adequate to mitigate identified impacts, it can require that additional open space be provided. Mr. Keith Belden stated that 4.44 acres of open space and parkland have been set aside under this application. He then reminded the Commission that when the four-lot minor subdivision was created, a cash-in-lieu of parkland was paid, even though there was no requirement for a parkland dedication; and there were no covenants on this subject 18 + acres which require that it be maintained in open space for the original four units. Mr. Belden stated that when the original four lots were developed, the applicant asked for a variance which would allow the lots to be .89 acre in size; but that request was not . approved and the lots were created as '-acre lots. Since there was no Commissioner objections Mayor Vincent closed the public hearing. Commissioner Youngman expressed concern about the process which has been followed in developing this subject property. She asked that the staff carefully review the zone code requirements in an effort to minimize the potential of entertaining applications for development of previously identified open space. Senior Planner Skelton responded that this process has been utilized to incorporate the original four-lot minor subdivision into the entire development. He further stated that, since the planned unit development process has been utilized for the proposal for development of the subdivision, he feels that it provides the amenities necessary to be compatible with the surrounding area. I There were no Commissioner objections to waiving the customary one-week waiting period for land use decisions, so the Commission proceeded to the motion and vote.
