Continued preliminary plat review ~ Mathew Bird Creek Subdivision - Gary L. Voigt for Gene
Graf - subdivide 26.918 acres into 68 single-family residential lots. parkland and public streets-
SW*, Section 19. T2S. R6E. MPM (south of Spring Meadows Subdivision) P-9413
This was the time and place set for continued review of the preliminary plat for Mathew
Bird Creek Subdivision, as requested by Gary L. Voigt for Gene Graf under Application No.
P-9413, to allow the subdivision of 26.918 acres located in the southwest one-quarter of
. Section 19, Township 2 South, Range 6 East, Montana Principal Meridian, into 68 single-family
residential lots. The subject property is more commonly located
south of Spring Meadows
Subdivision.
Mayor Vincent emphasized that the public hearing for this review has been completed
05-23-94
- 2 -
and at this point the discussion on this issue is to be confined to Commissioners and staff
members.
Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell asked the Commissioners if they had received
her memo dated May 19, 1994 in their packets; they confirmed that they had. She asked that
. one condition be added to the conditions of approval as recommended by the Planning Board,
that being, "that the Mathew Bird Creek Subdivision be contingent on the filing and approval
of the minor subdivision that is being reviewed at this time to create lot 1 of Graf's Minor
Subdivision." She noted that the minor subdivision must be filed before
the final plat on
Mathew Bird Creek Subdivision can be approved.
At the Mayor's request, the Assistant Planning Director addressed the major points
contained in her memo. She noted the following as suggested changes to the recommended
existing conditions. Condition No. 6a requires a paved secondary access be provided to the
subdivision, either from the east or the south. She noted that after their review, several of the
Commissioners' comments seemed to reflect a sense that the existing emergency accesses,
in conjunction with the primary access, were sufficient to service the subdivision. She stated
. that if the Commission decides that this is an appropriate determination, the following condition
should be considered to replace condition 6a:
"The proposed emergency access shall be
constructed to a gravel standard from the east boundary of this subdivision to the current
terminus of the road/driveway, as approved by the City of Bozeman, with a City standard
barricade installed on Biering Street prior to final plat approval of Phase I.
The design and
location of the barricade shall be approved by the City prior to installation."
She noted that since the Commission meeting, she has received a letter from James
Goetz, attorney for the property owners to the east, stating that if this emergency access is
accepted, it be eliminated once a permanent secondary access is provided to the subject
property. Assistant Planning Director Arkell cautioned the Commission about eliminating this
emergency access too soon, based on establishing a secondary access to the south, as an
. emergency access to the east may still be needed to provide adequate emergency services to
the subdivision. She stated that staff is not recommending
the automatic removal of the
emergency access at the time the secondary access is provided.
9c) Requires the property
owner to sign a waiver of right to protest SIOs for future improvements to South Willson
Avenue. One Commissioners has indicated that this condition could be eliminated as it is not
05-23-94
-
- 3 -
in the City's best interest to further develop Willson because of the traffic impacts. If this is
the Commission's decision the condition should be deleted.
10) Requires the developer to
commit to providing up to 50% of the cost of sidewalk installation costs for the sidewalk from
Colter to South Third Avenue, as recommended by the developer's traffic engineer. Instead,
. the Commission has indicated that the City's sidewalk policy, which requires adjoining property
owners to install sidewalks, should be followed, and that the developer not be required to
install these sidewalk. She suggested that if the Commission
wishes to follow the existing
sidewalk policy, then Condition 10 should be deleted.
The Assistant Planning Director addressed other issues raised by the Commissioners.
1) Linear trail improvements. The developer has chosen not to develop the park or the linear
trail at this time, instead they propose to sign a waiver of right to protest a park improvement
and maintenance district. Several of the Commissioners
have indicated that the developer
should be required to construct the linear trail in the subdivision from the southwest corner of
the property north and east to Graf Street, and, if added as a condition, the design, location,
width, and type of permeable-finish material of the trail should be submitted to and approved
. by the City Park Superintendent prior to final plat approval and completed by the developer
within three years of final plat approval of Phase I. If not completed prior to final plat approval,
then the developer must enter into an improvements agreement with a financial guarantee.
She noted that the Recreation Department had requested that a connection, located between
lots be provided via a nine-foot wide sidewalk so pedestrians know this is a public pedestrian
way; however, staff has forwarded a recommendation that a 3D-foot linear park on the
northern edge of Lot 1 be used to to make this connection. 2) Protection of existing mature
vegetation. She noted that a condition could be added stating that
the existing trees and
bushes located along the western subdivision cannot be removed unless diseased or dying or
dead. 3) Zone X (500 year) floodplain. She noted that Section 16.24 of the Bozeman Area
Subdivision Regulations, Flood Hazard Evaluation, and Chapter 18.44 of the Bozeman Municipal
. Code, Flood Hazard District, establish guidelines for development within the floodplain; and
both of these sections are administered by the City Engineer.
She stated that there are no
additional permitting requirements for construction in the Zone X floodplain in either of those
sections. The Zone AE floodplain, which is a small portion located in the northwest corner of
the site, cannot be constructed on. The Zone X area includes portions of seven lots; and those
05-23-94
- 4 -
areas could experience flooding in a 1 OO-year or a 500-year flood, at an average depth of less
than one foot. She reminded the Commission that the preliminary plat submittal indicated that
dirt taken from the road during road construction would be moved into these areas to raise the
building sites. The applicant's representative informed the Commission
on May 16 that the
. top at curb elevation on Grat Street existing, where the culvert goes under the street, is 4.3
feet lower than the lowest contour on Mathew Bird Creek Subdivision and, with this difference
in elevation, it appears that if the culverts were to overfill, water would flow over Graf Street
long before flooding occurred on the property.
Noting provisions contained in Section
16.12.010(B) of the Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations, Assistant Planning Director Arkell
stated that the Commission may determine that construction should not occur in Zone X,
because of potential hazards, such as flooding, etc., or because of unreasonable burdens on
the general public resulting from extraordinary expenses, environmental degradation and
congestion in the streets. She stated that, based on this provision, if the Commission feels that
the area is unsuitable for subdivision because of the high water table or because of the
potential for flooding, a condition could be added which would prohibit construction in the Zone
. X floodplain. She then stated that parkland is typically sought, particularly in a fairly large area,
where children can play; however, the Recreation Board recommended that a linear trail along
Mathew Bird Creek be dedicated rather than a neighborhood park. She noted that a little over
one acre has been dedicated for parkland along the east side of the subdivision. She suggested
that if the Commission determines that Zone X should not be constructed upon, then the
developer should be given an opportunity to redesign the subdivision and possibly incorporate
some of the Zone X land into the parkland dedication. She forwarded a proposed condition
which would specify that no lots could be created in the Zone AE or Zone X floodplains and
that parkland could be dedicated within the Zone X floodplain. 3) Renaming of Graf Street.
She noted that some of the Commissioners had expressed concern about Graf Street running
east and west, then curving into a north/south street; and the confusion that having the same
. name might create. She stated the City Engineering
Office has commented that it is not
uncommon for curved streets to carry the same name especially when a major street within
a development; and Graf Street is intended to be a collector street. She then stated that the
Engineering Department has no problem with the north-south section of the street being
renamed; but they have no problem with the current name. If the Commission determines to
05-23-94
- 5 -
rename the street the following condition is suggested: "That Graf Street, from its intersection
with Spring Meadows Drive be renamed with the new name approved by the City Engineering
Department. " 4) Master Plan/clustering.
The Assistant Planning Director noted that staff
recommended a conceptual master plan be provided in conjunction with the minor subdivision,
. showing clustering on the entire 97 + acres of the Graf's Fourth Addition. The plan, which
does address clustering, will be used for further development of Lots 2 and 3. The plan does
provide for clustering by providing open space corridors. Further development will ensure the
continuity of the open space, street alignments and the preservation of wetlands.
She
reminded the Commission that the subject property is zoned R-2, which allows single-family
residential development; and it has been zoned R-2 since its annexation twenty years ago. She
cautioned, however, that just because a property is zoned for residential development does not
mean that every available square inch of property needs to be developed. She then reminded
the Commission that a standard subdivision must provide one-ninth parkland dedication; and
under a planned unit development, 30 percent open space must be provided. She stated that
requiring clustering under the planned unit development process will help to ensure that
. wetlands and mature trees are protected. 5) Utility easement to the south. Assistant Planning
Director Arkell reminded the Commission that this issue cannot be addressed with the Mathew
Bird Creek Subdivision, but will be addressed with the Graf Minor Subdivision.
Responding to Commissioner Stiff, the Assistant Planning Director reviewed the first
condition she had recommended, which pertains to filing of the minor subdivision prior to filing
of the plat for this subdivision.
Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Assistant Planning Director stated that the
final plat is reviewed by the City Attorney and the Director of Public Service.
Commissioner Youngman stated the school district expressed interest as to if the impact
fees could be in place before any development on this property takes place. She noted that
each time the Commission discusses a subdivision, it discusses impact fees as well. She then
. asked if impact fees can be anticipated for this development, which is projected to develop
quickly. The Assistant Planning Director responded that impact fees may be assessed either
prior to final plat approval for the subdivision or when a building permit is issued, depending
on how the impact fee is structured. She stated that
if the impact fees are to be paid in
conjunction with the subdivision, then it could not be required in this instance; but it would be
05-23-94
-"
- 6 -
applied to those lots which are not yet developed if the impact fee is established in conjunction
with a building permit. Further responding to Commissioner Youngman, she stated that there
are no regular parks in the proposed area, although Graf Park is relatively close and is a pretty
natural area. The closest established play area would be Morning Star School playground.
. Commissioner Stueck stated that he spoke with Gene Graf before the meeting. and in
the discussion he doesn't have a problem with the utility easement, but he understands it is
just the timing and he wants to make sure when the next phase of the subdivision is done, it
will be established then.
Mike Money responded that it would take about six months to
get the location of the
utility and future street planned; and a planner and engineer would have to be hired to plan the
layout, however he foresees no problem.
In turn, each of the Commissioners commented on this requested
subdivision.
Commissioner Stueck stated that Condition 6A is justifiable, especially since the Commission
knows what is anticipated further to the south and the fact that there will be some sort of
access out through that development. He then stated he has no problem with the name of Graf
. Street. In response to questions regarding the floodplain, Assistant
Planning Director Arkell
showed him where the floodplain lines traverses the northwest corner. He then stated he has
no problems with the remaining conditions.
Mike Money stated the Zone X (500 year) area sounds much worse
than it is. He noted
that the entire block is in Zone X, which means that a site may be visited by floodwaters once
in every 500 years, at a depth of one foot or less.
He further stated that the builder has no
intent to build in the Zone AE section of the property, even though that can be done with the
appropriate permit. He then stated that, because of
the elevation discrepancy, he tried to
contact FEMA; and they told him that with the Hurricane Andrew, the flooding in the Midwest
and earthquakes in California, they do not have time to address this issue. He then asked the
Commission to review the 4-foot difference in elevation, stating he feels the line on the flood
. map was drawn in error. He stated that is the point they tried to make in the application for
this subdivision.
Commissioner Stueck stated that viewing of the site suggests that is true.
He stated
that when looking north, the area along Fairway Drive is considerably lower than the subject
property.

Commissioner Frost stated he is in favor of keeping the secondary
access. He agrees
Conditions 9c and 10 should be eliminated; approves the linear trail improvement conditions
and mature vegetation condition; approves the Zone X floodplain condition and the renaming
of Graf Street to South Graf Street if that is what the applicant proposes.
. Commissioner Youngman stated that from Graf Street south to Goldenstein is an
environmentally very sensitive area, for various reasons.
She noted there is a streambank
setback which will protect the stream corridor; and adding the linear trail will provide even more
protection. The mature vegetation condition would be very useful in protecting areas of the
site. She expressed concern that development of this entire area has
been addressed on a
piecemeal basis, which is the worst possible approach and can result in the least constructive
development. She noted that from the beginning, the
Commission has maintained that the
whole area needed to be considered in light of relative impacts. She recognized the zoning that
has existed for twenty years; and she feels there are ways that appropriate development could
be allowed. She also recognized the urgency for housing and the importance of facilitating it
whenever possible. She then addressed concern about the traffic flow from this subdivision,
. even with a secondary access. She questioned whether there is a good solution to the traffic
flow problems in this area, since South Third Avenue and South Willson Avenue appear to be
the streets which will absorb all of the traffic flow; and there are no good east/west routes in
that area. Even though she recognizes this is not a proclaimed natural habitat for animals, care
must be taken not to disturb that habitat. She then suggested that the City needs a plan which
specifies how much of the meadow habitat needs to be protected in and near the city limits
to minimize impacts on the wildlife. She noted the
lack of clustering in the design of this
development and feels the lots are larger than needed. She noted smaller lots, or the same size
lots, with strips of vegetation preserved would be more suitable for this development, although
that would entail redesigning the whole subdivision. She
stressed it is a nicely designed
subdivision, although she feels it is a conventional subdivision in a non-conventional location;
e and it is not suited to this particular piece of property. She also is concerned with the impacts
on the school system, which could be substantial when this subdivision is combined with other
proposals which have recently been considered.
Commissioner Stiff stated that he is very uncomfortable with
the issue of impact fees,
since they are not yet in place. He agrees with Condition No. 6a. He then asked City Attorney
05-23-94
. -- , - ~
- 8 -
luwe about the matter of Jim Goetz asking that the emergency access to the east be
abandoned. The City Attorney stated that staff's recommendation is that the Commission not
make that an automatic condition of the plan approval because they wish to review it as a
whole. He noted, however, that they believe it is a good idea,
depending upon what else
. develops. The City Attorney then stated he feels there would be no legal complications.
Commissioner Stiff stated his concurrence with Condition No. 9c and no problem with deleting
Condition No.1 O. He stated that the linear trail improvements conditions are in order; and he
agrees with the added condition for protection of the mature vegetation. He then stated he has
no problem with the naming of Graf Street.
Mayor Vincent stated his concurrence with deleting Condition
Nos. 9c and 10; and
adding conditions regarding improvement of the linear park, mature vegetation, South Graf
Street. He stated that with approval of the subdivision, he feels all of these conditions should
be included.
Commissioner Frost inquired as to who has the final decision to eliminate the emergency
access. City Attorney luwe stated that it is a filed emergency access and would be governed
. by the document that is currently filed, which he believes has no termination date on the
emergency access. The landowners on whose property that easement lies would have to come
to the Commission at a future time, once the secondary access is in place, to get permission
to abandon the emergency access.
Commissioner Frost then asked Commissioner Youngman about Condition No.6, and
whether a secondary access should be required or if an emergency access is acceptable.
Commissioner Youngman responded that she does not think that a secondary access at this
stage is necessary and that the emergency access is sufficient. Commissioner Frost noted that
there is another secondary emergency access off Fairway Drive. He characterized that access
as including a very imposing 8-foot gate that is chained and locked and often has a vehicle
blocking the access. Because of these circumstances
Commissioner Frost feels this an
. inadequate access. Assistant Planning Director Arkell stated that the Fire Department has the
availability of accessing this emergency access at any given time.
She then stated that the
area should be signed so that no parking occurs near the gate in a manner which would block
use of the access.

Responding to Commissioner Stueck, the Assistant Planner stated a statement can be
added that a secondary access will be needed in the future; and it could be addressed under
the minor subdivision.
Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the Assistant Planner responded that to take
. advantage of the Zone X floodplain condition. the developer would need to redesign the
subdivision, at least to some extent. She then stated that such revisions could either be
reviewed in house or brought back to the Commission for consideration. She then stated that
the number of lots could be decreased but not increased.
City Manager Wysocki summarized the Commissioner intentions on each of the changes
to existing recommended conditions, based on the memo from the Assistant Planning Director,
Debbie Arkell: (1) Condition 6a. Three of the Commissioners
feel the emergency access is
adequate, for now. (2) Emergency access
to be abandoned after the secondary access is
established. All the Commissioners are in favor of considering this item as a specific action,
upon request by the property owner. (3) Condition 9c. This condition should be deleted. (4)
Condition 10. This condition may be deleted. (5) Linear trail improvement. Condition should
. be added. (6) Protection of existing mature vegetation; A majority of the Commissioners are
in favor. (7) Floodplain.
The City Manager stated that, according to the FEMA rules,
development can occur on the 500-year floodplain.
If that is not to be allowed, the
Commissioners must make a statement as to why. He then asked each of the Commissioners
to do so at this time. Commissioner Frost stated he is not in favor of building on the floodplain.
He stated that, while the argument can be made that more flooding will occur downstream than
on this property, it is still a floodplain. He then cited residents in the Midwest as an example,
noting they are now trying to recover from a flood in a SOO-year floodplain that was not
supposed to happen. Commissioner Stueck stated his opposition to the proposed condition.
He stated that he feels there is a mistake on the map, particularly given the elevations. He then
stated he has no problem with building occurring on the Zone X portion of this property.
. Commissioner Youngman stated she is concerned about the fact that the City does not have
a specific building policy for building in Zone X floodplains, and the environmental impacts on
the overall area. She then forwarded her position
that she opposes building, but does not
support adding the condition due to lack of pOlicy. Commissioner Stiff stated he is in favor of
following FEMA guidelines. Mayor Vincent stated his support for adding the condition to not
05-23-94
- 10 -
allow development in the floodplain, noting that he agrees with
Commissioner Frost's
comments. The City Manager than asked the Commissioners about
(8) Renaming Graf Street.
A majority of the Commissioners concurred that renaming that
portion of the street where it
turns southward would be appropriate.
. City Manager Wysocki then referred to 118) which requires that Mathew Bird Creek
Subdivision be contingent upon the minor subdivision being filed.
Commissioner Frost stated his opposition to this subdivision,
because of traffic impacts.
He noted that growth in the area south of the community has
occurred faster than was
originally anticipated and, as a result, traffic volumes have
grown faster; and improvements
may be needed earlier than anticipated. He noted that staff
is waiting for development to put
in transportation improvements south of town. With this development,
those traffic impacts
will be increased, particularly on South Third Avenue and South
Willson Avenue; and he does
not want to add to the traffic load on South Willson.
He stated that South 11 th and South
19th should be used as arterial streets not South Willson, which
is a collector. He stated that
the transportation system is not prepared for this growth; and
he feels that those strains which
. currently exist need to be addressed before more traffic is added.
Commissioner Youngman stated she does not want to stop this
development, but she
feels it is ahead of its time, particularly because of traffic
impacts and the lack of impact fees.
She noted that issues such as effects on local services and
natural environment, habitat, public
health and safety, traffic, and impact on the schools are to
be considered when reviewing a
subdivision application.
She feels that the traffic problems have not yet been adequately
addressed; and she would prefer to see this application come
back with lots of natural area
around the edge, although she recognizes that cannot be mandated.
She then stated that,
while she would be willing to consider approval of a subdivision
on this property at some point,
she does not support this application at this time.
Commissioner Stiff stated he will vote for the subdivision at
this time.
. Mayor Vincent will vote against the proposed subdivision on
the basis of the criteria set
forth in the Montana Code Annotated. He feels there is an impact
on agriculture, impact on
local services in regard to response time, impact on the public
school system, impact on the
natural environment, and some impacts on wildlife and habitat.
He characterized those
concerns as relatively minor when considered in light of effects
on public health and safety,
05-23-94
--
-- --..- . ---
- 11 -
particularly the impacts on the traffic, which are the most important consideration. He feels
that the point has been reached where infrastructure needs of the community need to precede
the impact, rather than hoping that the infrastructure will be improved to meet the needs later.
He noted that the staff report indicates that transportation projects are scheduled for the area;
. however, he noted they have only been proposed and that the financing has not yet been
identified. Mayor Vincent further stated that even if the secondary access were provided with
this subdivision, which he feels should be done, it is still primary in terms of where the traffic
goes. He stated that traffic from the subdivision will use South Third
and South Willson,
neither of which is prepared for it at the present time, no matter what other route may be
proposed. He concurred with Commissioner Youngman that
this subdivision is ahead of its
time; and he feels this is substantiated by the findings of fact under the Montana Subdivision
review laws.
It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner
Stueck, that the
Commission approve the preliminary plat for Mathew Bird Creek Subdivision, as requested by
Gary l. Voigt for Gene Graf under Application No. P-9413, to allow the subdivision of 26.918
. acres located in the southwest one-quarter of Section 19, Township 2 South, Range 6 East,
Montana Principal Meridian, into 68 single-family residential lots, subject to the following
conditions:
1.
The final plat shall conform to the Uniform Standards for Final Subdivision
Plats, comply with Section 16.10.030 of the Bozeman Area Subdivision
Regulations, contain all appropriate certificates with the corrections
indicated in the Staff Report, and be accompanied by all appropriate
documents, including a Platting Certificate.
2.
Approval from the Subdivision Program of the Montana Department of
Health and Environmental Sciences Water Quality Bureau must occur prior
to final 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.
3.
A storm water drainage and final grading plan must be submitted for plan
and specification review. A gutter capacity evaluation must be provided.
. The storm detention pond must be redesigned to provide
full capacity for
storm water detention, and a six foot depth is not acceptable.
The
northern slope of the runoff pond cannot be located in the linear park or
allow any discharge into the trail.
However, the applicant will have the opportunity in this plan to prove that
the storm water detention area will be conducive to park use and will not
be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the public, and if this
can be shown, and is acceptable to the Planning Staff, Public Service
Director, and Park Superintendent the storm water drainage lot may be
05-23-94
---
- 12 ~
dedicated to the public as park land. If accepted as park land, it shall be
in addition to the required one-ninth park land dedication.
If the proposal is not acceptable to City Staff, the storm water drainage lot
may not be dedicated to the City of Bozeman, and ownership of the storm
water detention area will be by the Homeowner's Association. In any
event, a storm water maintenance plan for the pond and any associated
appurtenances must be submitted and approved prior to final plat approval,
.
which indicates that maintenance of the
pond and all
associated
appurtenances is the responsibility of the Homeowner's
Association. A
note shall be added to the plat that the storm
detention "pond lot" is
un buildable, unless it is designated and accepted as public park land.
4.
The Montana Department of Health and Environmental Sciences, Water
Quality Bureau shall be contacted by the applicant to determine if a Storm
Water Discharge Permit is necessary. If required, and erosion/sediment
control plan shall be prepared for disturbed areas of five acres or less if the
point of discharge is less than 100 feet from state waters.
5.
The approval of the final plat of this subdivision shall be contingent upon
the filing of the minor subdivision of Graf's Fourth Subdivision.
6.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
a) Plans and Specifications and a detailed design report for water and
sewer main extension, public streets, and storm drainage improvements
must be prepared by a Professional Engineer (PE) and shall be provided to
and approved by the City Engineer and the Montana Department of Health
and Environmental Sciences, (water and sewer only). The applicant shall
also provide PE services for Construction Inspection, post-Construction
.
Certification, and preparation of mylar Record Drawings. Construction shall
not be initiated on the public infrastructure
improvements until the plans
and specifications have been approved and a
preconstruction conference
has been conducted.
b) All infrastructure improvements including 1) water and sewer main
extensions, and 2) public streets including curb/gutter, ADA handicap
access ramps, and sidewalks fronting parks, open space, or other non-
building lot frontages, and related stormwater improvements shall be
financially guaranteed or constructed prior to final plat approval. No
building permits will
be issued prior to
acceptance of subdivision
infrastructure improvements.
c) Water and sewer services must be installed with the initial construction
to meet all planned uses of the lots. Further subdivision of the lots will be
prohibited.
d) City standard residential sidewalks shall be constructed on all public
street frontages on each lot prior to occupancy of any home constructed
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. This
condition shall be included on the plat and
in the covenants for the
subdivision.
e) The developer shall install the sidewalk on the frontage of the pond lot
and across all park land which fronts on a public street at the time the
street infrastructure is installed.
f) If curvilinear sidewalks are to be installed in Graf Street, they shall be
installed by the developer at the time the Graf Street infrastructure is
05-23-94
u
- 13 -
installed, to insure uniform construction. The meandering sidewalk must
leave a minimum 3-foot width of boulevard.
g) The water main shown on the preliminary plat as extending from the
24" main near Billion Place shall extend to connect to the water main at the
corner of Biering and Graf Streets rather than between Lots 3 and 4, Block
4, as shown. This water main loop shall be completed with Phase 1
improvements.
.
h) The easements for the water main extension shall be a minimum of 30
feet in width, with the utility located in the
center of the easement. In no
case shall the utility be less than 10 feet from the edge of the easement.
The applicant shall record the water main easement prior to approval of the
infrastructure plans and specifications.
7.
STREETS AND CONSTRUCTION:
a) The proposed emergency access shall be constructed to a gravel
standard from the east boundary of this subdivision to the current terminus
of the road/driveway, as approved by the City of Bozeman, with a City
standard barricade installed on Biering Street prior to final plat approval of
Phase I. The design and location of the barricade shall be approved by the
City prior to installation. The emergency access may be vacated after a
secondary access is constructed, but only with the approval of the City of
Bozeman.
b) The centerline radius for Graf Street must be a minimum of 300 feet.
c) The applicant shall utilize an alternative listed in the soils and pavement
design report (prepared by Braun, Inc.) for road construction which includes
.
the use of a geo-textile fabric. Final pavement section design will be
evaluated during plan and specification review.
d) The recommendations listed in the "Soil Survey and Pavement Design
Report" (prepared by Braun, Inc.) shall be included in the plan and
specification submittal.
e) The plan and specification submittal must include measures to mitigate
the potential for groundwater to be carried down gradient via utility
trenches.
f) All dead end roads must end in a temporary turnaround.
If the
turnarounds are not located on the subject property, easements for the
temporary turnarounds shall be
recorded prior to approval
of the
infrastructure plans and specifications.
8.
The flood plain boundaries shall be depicted on the final plat and on all
plans. Appropriate 404 Permits, or any other required permits, shall be
obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers prior to construction.
9.
The final plat shall show 20 foot rear and 10 foot side lot utility easements
on all lots, as well as 12-foot front yard utility easements, unless written
.
notification is provided from U.S. West and TCI Cablevision that the front
yard easement is adequate.

Commissioner Youngman and
Mayor Vincent; those voting No being Commissioner Stueck and

. Discussion - steDs for considerina recommendations forwarded in raDort from housina task
force
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo and list of
ideas regarding how to
act on recommendations from the Affordable Housing Task Force,
as submitted by
Commissioner Youngman, and lists of responses to the Housing
Task Force Recommendations
05-23-94
- 16 -
as submitted by Commissioner Stueck and Commissioner Stiff.
The City Manager distributed to the Commission a letter from the Gallatin Development
Corporation Board of Directors expressing concerns pertaining to the recommendations of the
Affordable Housing Task Force.
. Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson James Goehrung asked for Commission input
regarding their positions on the 17 recommendations that were advanced to them by the Task
Force.
Commissioner Frost stated he liked Commissioner Youngman's summary. He noted his
support for Option No.4, as identified in that memo, which provides for adoption of some
version of the report. He stated he wants to go through
each of the recommendations
carefully; and he wants to amend some of the items.
He does not feel that the Commission
can move forward with just the 17 recommendations forwarded unanimously, but he prefers
to consider all of the 23 items because they were supported by a majority of the committee
members. He then stated he would like to have a public hearing held as soon as possible and
move the process forward. He stated concurrence with some of Commissioner Youngman's
. comments; however, he stated there are a lot of people that would not support regulations for
set-asides. He suggested that that type of recommendation should
be optional rather than
mandatory.
Commissioner Stueck stated he concurs with
many of the items contained in
Commissioner Youngman's memo. He stated that he had a meeting with a former member of
the Commission, several business people and neighbors; and the exclusionary zoning and the
linkage fees are definitely viewed as an anti-economic development for Bozeman. They felt
that if there were another way to come up with incentives for developers, rather than
mandatory set-asides or exclusionary zoning. He stated
they feel that using this method to
address the issue of affordable housing may be creating a worse problem which would, in the
long run, have a very negative effect on Bozeman's economy by increasing the property values.
. He stated that this impact would spread to all industries in town. He noted the letter which
the Commission received, also mentions that we have groups in this community spending time,
resources and effort into attracting business into the community; and the proposed set-asides
and exclusionary zoning would negatively impact those efforts. He then stated his support for
all of the recommendations forwarded by the Housing Task Force and in Commissioner
05-23-94
-- .---..
- 17 -
Youngman's memo except for these two items. He stated his interest
in getting the process
started in whatever manner it takes.
He suggested that it be started with something that
everyone agrees on so they can work together.
Commissioner Youngman noted that everyone is concerned about
this issue and stressed
. the fact that everyone must work together in an concerted effort
to get this program started.
She then stated she feels it is important to air all of these suggestions at once, noting that
some of them do not work well alone. She suggested that regulatory
reform and the housing
trust fund alone will not substantially address the issue because
developers cannot afford to
build anything affordable according to the definition forwarded
by the Housing Task Force. She
noted, therefore, she has proposed a more liberal definition
of "affordable", realizing that other
incentives must also be considered. She also suggested that
encouraging mobile homes will
help to address the issue.
Commissioner Stiff stated that he has spoken with various contractors
about the issue,
as well as some of the committee members.
He stated that inclusionary zoning must be
eliminated, stating the City cannot expect the contractors to
contribute this when other
. segments of the community are not required to do so. He also
expressed concern about asking
the City Manager to set aside $100,000 from the General Fund
in a Housing Trust Fund, noting
he wants to give that issue substantially more thought than
he has to date. Responding to
Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Stiff stated he is not throwing
that idea out for this
year's budget, but he does not feel it is right to assume that
it will be included. He then
suggested that the City look at every parcel of land it owns
to see if it is being used to its
highest and best use. He noted that the City must be able to
find someone to do what HRDC
has done, through ownership and equity. He suggested the possibility
of donating the planning
and zoning processes for a good plan that may be submitted.
He stated that it will cost roughly
$60 per square foot; and he says contractors have indicated
that a stick built home can be
constructed for essentially the same price as a modular home.
. Mayor Vincent stated that he feels a public hearing is a necessity
in this situation. He
stated that at the present timet he supports some of the recommendations
contained in the
report while others he does not.
He noted this is the kind of issue where cooperation is the
key. He suggested that the Commission must determine the type
of setting they wish to use
for the public hearing; whether it should be held on a special
night, or in conjunction with a
05-23-94
...-
--,.
---
- 18 -
regular meeting. He then stated he feels that the public hearing
should be held on all 23 issues,
even though some of them have been rejected to some extent.
He emphasized the importance
of a well-structure, informative public hearing as the first
step in addressing the issue.
Commissioner Youngman asked Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson
Goehrung how
. much time it will take to gather information in preparation for a town meeting/public hearing;
Neighborhood Coordinator Goehrung responded approximately a
month. She asked if the
possible budgetary impacts of this program could be identified
in time to include them in this
year's budget.
City Manager Wysocki stated that the Commission could direct
him to include a specific
amount in the budget; and that amount could be adjusted later
if necessary. He then expressed
concern about the idea that a public hearing is needed on these
recommendations, reminding
the Commission that several members of the public have spent
a considerable amount of time
and effort in developing these recommendations. He cautioned
that the comments must be
carefully considered, since some of them will be informed while
others are uninformed.
Commissioner Frost stated that, even though he assisted in the
writing of the zone code,
. he did not recognize how hard the regulations are and what they won't allow. He then stated
that the code does allow a lot, although it does need creativity
to accomplish some of them.
He suggested that smaller lot size, smaller setbacks, and narrower
streets should be carefully
considered. He suggested that tying this to more incentives
for developers could be beneficial.
He stated that he is interested in receiving public input on
the $100,000 set-aside for the
Housing Trust Fund, noting he feels that he can make a decision
on the other items without
public input.
City Manager Wysocki encouraged the Commission to look at the
agenda for tomorrow
night's Planning Board meeting. He emphasized the fact that
this is a poor time of the year to
be adding another major project into the workload.
He suggested it would be better to
methodically work through the process rather than trying to
speed it through.
. Commissioner Youngman stated that getting some of the recommendations
"fleshed out"
will take time; however, she noted that others will require
minimal work. She then suggested
that the public hearing date could be set before the work is
completed.
Commissioner Stiff stated his preference for reviewing the report
upon which the public
hearing is to be held before it is submitted at the hearing.
He then stated he feels that a good
05-23-94
- 19 -
incentive package must be provided; and he feels that is missing
in the current document. He
noted that smaller lots and smaller houses may be a part of
the solution.
Responding to Commissioner Youngman, none of the Commissioners
stated any
disagreement with her definition of "affordability".
. Neighborhood Coordinator Goehrung stated that his memo simply
forwarded an outline
of the recommendations, rather than a comprehensive report. He then stated a willingness to
expand that report, possibly providing arguments on both sides.
He stated his desire to refine
the information, and provide that report back to the Commission.
He then encouraged the
Commission to keep the hearing focused on things that could
be done. He asked if there are
options that have been overlooked, some that are not acceptable,
or some that need amending.
Commissioner Youngman stressed the importance of having answers
from the bankers
or realtors or builders on how they would assist in providing
affordable housing. The
Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson suggested a breakdown
as to the cost of building
materials plus labor might help to address that issue.
Commissioner Stiff stated that conversations with contractors
have revealed there is
. more to constructing small houses on smaller lots than just
constructing more houses on a
certain size of lot. He stated that, while they make the same
percentage of money, "there are
more issues lurking in the corners". He then asked what is actually
contained in Nos. 4 and
6, noting that the Commission must determine what type of values
are involved. He stated
that at this point in time dealing with City regulations and
permits have become overly
complicated. He further stated that if we expect people to help
than we as a community are
going to have to do our part as well.
He also suggested the possibility of using City-owned
property for affordable housing projects.
Responding to Commissioner Youngman, Neighborhood Grantsperson
Goehrung stated
that the only change he noted in the definition of "affordable"
was modification of the
percentage from 80% to 120%.
. Commissioner Stueck asked if the Commission is willing to give
something to a developer
who wants to build smaller homes, i.e., narrower street width,
natural drainage instead of
storm drainage, less setbacks. He stated there is nothing wrong
with that idea, but it does not
fit the zone code or regulations.
He also noted that the planned unit development is an
expensive process.
05-23-94
- 20 -
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that last week, he suggested a PUD
process for affordable housing.
Commissioner Stueck then stated he has no problem with a public hearing on the
proposed recommendations, although he has no problem with making a decision without a
. hearing. He then referred to the Dickinson Manor project, which would have helped the rental
situation in Bozeman with its 160 units. The original design was not acceptable to the
neighborhood; but the revised acceptable design added $400,000. He
stated that those are
the costs which are impacting development in Bozeman, suggesting that a concession would
have been if the neighbors would have accepted redesign and allowed a decrease in street
width or waived some of the landscaping.
Mayor Vincent reminded the Commission of the small units along East Main Street which
were approved just a few years ago. He noted that, while those units are small, they meet a
need.
Commissioner Frost stated that a conversation with three developers indicated that
landscaping was a very minor cost in the overall development costs.
He asked how much
. requiring that the landscaping and sidewalk actually enhance the value of a development, at
a relatively minimal cost.
Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson Goehrung stated that he felt it would take him
at least a month to put together all of the needed information and the input that he has
received, as this is a very complex issue. He then stated that if any of the Commissioners wish
any additional information, he will review the research information which the committee has
gathered, forwarding any pertinent information to the interested Commissioner.
He also
indicated his intent to further research the definition of "affordable", noting that it was
established in a manner which does not conflict with the federal definition, in the event that
the City wishe$ to apply for federal program monies.
Mayor Vincent stressed the importance of having all possible information available and
. being able to focus on the real issue at hand, citing the recent town meeting that on the
transportation issue as an example.
Ms. Daria Joyner, Executive Director of the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce,
suggested a town meeting would be better than a public hearing, because it is much more
effective and allows more issues to be presented and brought forward.
