Mr. Bob Marvin provided a brief overview of the study, including a slide presentation. He
reminded the Commission that the study was funded through a grant from the State Department
of Justice, Highway Safety Division. He stated that since this type of grant was expanded
to
include urban streets as well as county roads, five studies in major urban areas have been
.undertaken. He stated that the process of identifying the intersections to be included in the
Bozeman study was started by taking statistical data from the period 1988 through 1991 and
sorting through approximately 5,000 accident reports to determine which intersections were the
most accident prone. He noted that intersections along Main Street and North 7th Avenue were
eliminated, since those are major arterials in joint jurisdiction; and all intersections with less than
five accidents were eliminated. He noted that this left a list of 66 intersections; and City staff
reviewed that list, eliminating those intersections which were addressed in the transportation plan
update's list of transportation system maintenance projects as well as those intersections which
had already been improved or are included in this year's budget to be addressed. He noted that
left a list of 20 intersections, which are addressed in this report.
Mr. Marvin then reviewed the indicators which were evaluated on each of these
.intersections. Those indicators include (1) number of accidents, (2) the accident rate or exposure,
(3) volume capacity of the intersection, (4) accident severity, (5) sight distance, (6) driver judgment
or perception, and (7) weighted tabulation. He stated that the results of evaluating those
indicators, which is known as the hazard index, is then factored with the cost/benefit ratio to
establish the final priority index.
Mr. Marvin stated that the projected costs of implementing each of the twenty projects
were calculated, with the appropriate percentages calculated for the State's project eligible funds
and the local governing body. He noted that for the total $46,408 project, $28,848 is eligible for
Montana Department of Transportation safety funds while the City would be responsible for
$17,560. He stated, however, that recent unofficial information reflects that it may be possible
for the State to fund all of the improvements.
. Mr. Marvin then used the intersection of West Olive Street and South Seventh Avenue as
an example to show the Commissioners how the study was conducted and how the determination
was made on the type of improvements needed. He noted that still photos and videos were taken
during the initial review; and the videos are now on file in Director of Public Service Forbes' office.
He stated that the accident information is then reviewed and diagrammed; and a sketch drawing
11-16-92

of the intersection, showing roadway widths, roadside conditions and traffic control devices, is
prepared. He noted that an uncontrolled intersection requires a minimum of 110 feet of visibility
at 25 miles per hour, to allow time for acceleration or deceleration maneuvers.
He noted that
"yield" signs require the same sight distance. He noted that for "stop" signs, State law requires
.certain sight distances as well as a safety zone around the curb radius. He stated that in the older
part of town, the streets are often narrow, with buildings encroaching into the sight distance.
Mr. Marvin then stated that if it is determined that a stop sign is needed, it must be
installed on the minor street rather than the major street. He noted that to place a stop sign on a
major street will result in more accidents, and will result in people not obeying it. He further noted
that the provisions of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices must be observed when
installing signs.
Mr. Bob Marvin noted that the one-way couplet system, which is separated by Main
Street, loses much of its efficiency because of that separation. He noted,
therefore, that Olive
Street and Lamme Street serve as defacto one-way couplets with Babcock Street and Mendenhall
Street; and the levels of traffic reflect that. He stated that, with the current
structure of the
.couPlet, it would take less time for someone traveling west on the south side of town to use Olive
Street, even if stop signs were installed on Olive at every intersection, than it would be to use Main
Street.
Mr. Marvin stated that the initial recommendation for the intersection of Olive and Seventh
was to install stop signs on South 7th Avenue; and City staff asked his firm to re-evaluate that
recommendation, based on concerns for the residential nature of the Olive corridor. He noted that
after reviewing all
of the indicators and pertinent data, they
re-affirmed their original
recommendation because of the drivers' perception of that intersection and the traffic volumes on
the four legs.
Responding to Commissioner Vincent, Mr. Marvin indicated that people tend to drive at
a speed that they feel is comfortable. He noted that if they perceive that a traffic control device
.is unwarranted, they will not obey it, i.e., a stop sign on the major leg of an intersection. He noted
that in the instance of Olive and Seventh, approximately 80 percent of the drivers he observed on
West Olive Street did not recognize it as an intersection, which means they did not slow down or
look either way.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Marvin stated that many studies have reflected
11-16-92
--
- 4 -
that in municipalities where stop signs have been installed in an effort to control speed, the result
has been higher speeds in mid-block.
Commissioner Vincent noted that the Commissioners have not yet viewed the report. He
then noted that South Third Avenue seems to be carrying more traffic, largely because it parallels
~ South Willson Avenue, which is often difficult to access. He asked about the possibility
of
""installing stop signs as a way of making the street inconvenient to use.
Mr. Marvin stated that in some instances, that can be an effective tool, if it takes longer
for a person to use that route than to find an alternative route with less stop signs.
He noted,
however, that care must be taken when installing those signs to make sure they are not on the
major leg of an intersection.
Mr. Marvin stated that the level of use designates whether a street is a local street, a
collector or an arterial. He then noted that while Olive Street has an average traffic flow of 1,400
vehicles per day, that is well below the collector street level of 2,000 vehicles per day. He also
indicated that many other streets in the community, while carrying larger volumes than in the past,
are also well below the 2,000-vehicle-per-day level.
~ Mr. Marvin then responded to several questions from the Commissioners regarding the
...,.,.
study and its contents. He noted that, in addition to addressing specific intersections, he reviewed
adjacent intersections and corridors. He noted that one of those
included the whole University
area, which he feels should have been more comprehensively addressed in the transportation plan
update.
Mayor Swanson noted the cost projections for the intersections of Olive and Tracy and
Olive and Black are quite high, asking what improvements were included.
Mr. Marvin responded that those intersection improvements included some changes in
street widths, striping for pedestrians, stop signs and sidewalk bulbs at the intersection to minimize
the distance for pedestrians crossing the street. He then noted that at the intersection of Garfield
. and Willson, a left-turn bay for vehicles traveling south on South Willson Avenue is proposed.
Mr. Will Owens, 411 West Lamme Street, stated that his neighborhood is concerned about
the intersection of North Fifth Avenue and West Lamme Street, and asked what improvements are
proposed for that intersection.
Mr. Marvin responded that it is a very restrictive intersection, with no sight distance. He
then forwarded the recommendation that stop signs be installed on North 5th Avenue, due in large
11-16-92
- 5 -
part to the fact that is how the intersection currently functions. He also noted that West Lamme
Street essentially serves as the other half of the one-way couplet. He further suggested that
enforcement of the speed limit on West Lamme Street could help to address speed problems.
Mr. Will Owens noted that Beall Street, which is only one block away, is a much wider,
. more open street that could serve as a collector street; however. much of the traffic tends to use
Lamme Street instead, which is a residential street with many small children.
Responding to Commissioner Vincent, Mr. Marvin stated there are no instances in which
this report recommends that stop signs be placed on the street with the greater traffic volume. He
noted that in Kalispell, where the firm is currently conducting a study, there are five intersections
where stop signs have been installed on the major leg; and those are probably the most hazardous
of the 25 intersections in the community which they are studying, with fifteen to twenty accidents
recorded per year.
Commissioner Vincent noted that the traffic volume is growing in Bozeman; and he
anticipates it will only increase more, resulting in more problems. He then expressed concern that
much of that traffic is using residential streets, suggesting that the Commission should discuss a
.policy addressing that issue. He noted that Mr. Marvin has done a good job in preparing his report,
per his contract; however, he feels that the Commission should carefully consider neighborhoods
when considering approval of the recommendations and their implementation.
Commissioner Stiff stated appreciation for a report well done. He then noted interest in
carefully reviewing that report in the near future.
Commissioner Frost stated he feels the engineering issues have been well addressed in
this report. He noted, however, his concern about creating through streets in residential
neighborhoods.
At Mayor Swanson's request, Mr. Marvin addressed the east side of the campus area.
He noted that in an area generally bounded by West College Street, South 11th Avenue, West
. Grant and South Willson Avenue, there were an estimated 200 accidents during the review period.
with 80 injuries and an estimated $1.2 million in property damage. He suggested that 40 percent
of those accidents could be eliminated with improved access to the University, particularly its
parking areas. He noted that, after reviewing the draft transportation plan update, he feels that the
issue could have been better addressed, with additional measures being taken to designate routes
to the parking lots.

Responding to Mayor Swanson, Mr. Marvin stated he has not reviewed the downtown
parking chapter of the transportation plan; therefore, he does not know how his recommendations
for elimination of parking spaces would impact the number of lost parking stalls in the area.
Mr. Will Owens noted that he recently moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico. He noted
....Ar.. that his neighborhood had encountered traffic problems and heard similar reports to this one;
-however, he noted that the problem was resolved with the installation of four-way stop signs and
heavy police enforcement. He suggested the same method could be effective in Bozeman as well.
Mr. Marvin stated the warrants for installation of a four-way stop at this intersection are
simply not met.
Ms. Chris Dunn, 5887 Cottonwood Road, noted the extensive amount of time that the
City-County Planning Board has devoted to the transportation plan, and an interest in reviewing this
report in conjunction with that plan. She then asked Mr. Marvin if traffic diverters or street
closures work well.
Mr. Marvin responded that traffic diverters work well if they are strategically placed. He
noted, however, that the best way to discourage traffic in residential neighborhoods is to establish
~ a good system of collectors and arterials that efficiently carry traffic. He noted that this
may
,.,
involved widening of streets, installation of stop lights and possibly elimination of parking on those
streets.
Responding to Mayor Swanson, the City Manager indicated that this is the last step in
completing the contractual obligations for this project. He then noted that it may be beneficial for
the Commission to receive public input on the study before making a decision. He also noted that
the transportation plan and the transportation system maintenance projects listed in that report
must be considered in conjunction with this study.
Director of Public Service Forbes emphasized the importance of ensuring that the two
studies mesh together well. He also noted, however, that to implement the safety measures
suggested and to reduce the number of traffic accidents at those specific intersections would be
.benefiCial. He then stated that the next step in the process is to write a letter for the Mayor's
signature, asking the State Department of Transportation for funding for these projects.
Responding to questions from the Commission, the Director stated that the State funding
can only be used for installing the improvements recommended in this report at the specified
intersections, unless the City can successfully argue that a different solution may be better or more
11-16-92
- 7
-
appropriate. He then assured the Commission that application for, and approval of, funding for
these projects does not commit the City to completing all of the projects. He noted that the State
monies will only be expended for those projects which are completed.
It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner
Vincent, that the
. Commission acknowledge receipt of the Traffic Safety Improvements report as prepared by Marvin
and Associates. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vincent, Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Frost and Mayor
Swanson; those voting No, none.

2892, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2892
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, DECLARING IT TO BE THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
THE INHABITANTS THEREOF AND THE INHABITANTS OF A TRACT OF LAND
CONTIGUOUS TO
SAID CITY OF BOZEMAN,
AND HEREIN MORE
. PARTICULARL Y DESCRIBED, TO EXTEND THE BOUNDARIES OF SAID CITY OF
BOZEMAN SO AS TO INCLUDE SAID CONTIGUOUS TRACT WITHIN THE
CORPORATE LIMITS THEREOF.
Mayor Swanson opened the public hearing.
Associate Planner Debbie Arkell presented the staff report. She noted that the subject
12.267-acre tract lies in the northwest one-quarter of Section 14, Township 2 South, Range 5
East, Montana Principal Meridian, and is located along the south side of U.S. Highway 191/West
Main Street, immediately south ofthe Main Mall property. She noted the parcel is located adjacent
to existing city boundaries and lies entirely within the sewer service area boundary. She noted that
annexation would result in a natural westward extension of the city's boundaries. She noted that
access to the subject parcel will be from U.S. Highway 191, with accesses being coordinated by
the Montana Department of Transportation and the City's Engineering Department. She stated that
.the annexation and development will result in traffic impacts; and those issues are to be addressed
on a project by project basis.
Planner Arkell stated that staff supports annexation of the subject parcel. She noted,
however, that staff recommends that the following issues be addressed in the annexation
agreement, to mitigate the impacts it will have on various City systems: (1) waivers of right to
protest the creation of SID's for improvements to and signalization of the intersection of West Main
Street and West College Street; (2) waiver of right to protest the creation of an SID for
improvements to West College Street; (3) provision of usable water rights or a cash-in-lieu of water
rights payment; (4) dedication of the right-of-way for possible future extension of West Garfield
Street; and (5) waiver of right to protest participation in improvements to the North 17th Avenue
interceptor sewer trunk line.
. The Planner then stated that staff has reviewed this annexation request in light of the
eight goals and twelve policies set forth in Commission Resolution No. 2716.
She briefly
highlighted the staff findings, stating that it complies with Goal Nos. 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8 and does not
substantially conflict with any goals; and, assuming the issues listed above are satisfactorily
addressed in the annexation agreement, the request will essentially comply with most of the
11-16-92
.
- 11 -
policies and not substantially conflict with any policy. She then forwarded the staff
recommendation that the Commission authorize and direct staff to proceed with the annexation
process for the subject parcel.
Planner Arkell reminded the Commission that the current master plan land use designation
.,.for the subject property is business park industrial. She noted that last month, the Commission
...., denied applications to change the land use designation to commercial and to change the zoning
from Public Lands and Institutions and Agriculture Suburban to Community Business District. She
noted, therefore, that staff would recommend that if this parcel is annexed, the applicant be
required to apply immediately for the appropriate zoning designation, which would probably be
business park in light of the Commission's previous action, for the entire 30-acre parcel.
Associate Planner Arkell stated the applicant projects that the property will reach 100
percent development within three years. She noted that they are currently pursuing the planned
unit development process; and the formal application should be filed with the Planning Office in the
near future.
Ms. Holly Brown, attorney representing the applicant, noted that both Mr. Paul Vander Jagt
.and Mr. Sherm Veltkamp, principals of PV Enterprises, are present to respond to any questions.
She stated that they have decided to proceed with the annexation request even though the
applications for a master plan amendment and zone map change were denied last month, since
conversations with some individual Commissioners reflected the general interest in seeing the
planned unit development process utilized for development of this site. She then requested that
approval of this annexation be contingent upon approval of the planned unit development.
Ms. Brown stated the applicants agree with the conditions for annexation as outlined by
Associate Planner Arkell. She stated that she feels those can adequately be addressed in the
annexation agreement, to the satisfaction of both the applicants and the City. She stated that they
fully recognize that utilization of City services will result in some costs. She also noted that the
.project must comply with the City's signage regulations and must also comply with the design
objective plans, since it lies within an entryway corridor. She then noted her confidence that all
of the conditions for all of the processes will be complementary to each other and can be met.
Responding to Commissioner Stiff, City Attorney Luwe addressed the contingency issue
raised by Ms. Brown. He noted that the next step in the annexation process is the development
of an annexation agreement which is satisfactory to both the City and the applicants. He stated
11-16-92
--.--- .-... -...-. - --.--
.
- 12 -
that while that document is being prepared and finalized, the application for a planned unit
development will be moving through its process. He then suggested that the decision on
the
planned unit development could be timed to coincide with the annexation process as a method of
addressing Ms. Brown's concern. He stated that the applicant can control the timing of the
. annexation simply by not signing the annexation agreement until the planned unit development
process has reached the appropriate stage.
Responding to questions from the City Manager, Planner Arkell stated that the applicant
could pursue a planned unit development for the subject parcel without annexation; however, the
applicant would not be able to obtain a rezoning or city services without annexation.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the requested annexation.
City Manager Wysocki read into the record letters of support from Vern Voegele, Senior
Vice President at First Citizens Bank, dated November 12; from Ronald J. Ahlers, President of First
Citizens Bank, dated November 12; and from Daria Joyner, Executive Vice President of the
Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce, dated November 16.
It was moved by Commissioner Knapp, seconded by Commissioner Frost, that the public
.hearing be closed. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vincent and Mayor
Swanson; those voting No, none.
Mayor Swanson closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the
customary one-week waiting period of land use decisions be waived. The motion carried by the
following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Stiff,
Commissioner Vincent, Commissioner Knapp and Mayor Swanson; those voting No, none.
Commissioner Stiff expressed concern that the impacts which this annexation may have
on the intersection of West College Street and South 19th Avenue are not addressed. He noted
. that this impact may result in the need for signalization; however, the staff report does not contain
provisions to ensure that the applicant would participate in those costs.
Mayor Swanson indicated that he shares those same concerns.
The City Manager suggested that, rather than trying to add a condition at this time to
address the issue, which really requires some study to determine percentages and the appropriate
level of participation, it would be more appropriate to proceed with the annexation as recommended
11-16-92
, . , .
- 13 -
by staff and address the issue of signalization at the intersection of West College Street and South
19th Avenue in conjunction with the planned unit development process.
Commissioner Frost noted that he had previously voted
against the requested master plan
amendment and zone map change because he was uncomfortable with a commercial zoning. He
.then stated his support for the current proposal for development of the site, which includes the
planned unit development process; therefore, he will vote for the requested annexation.
Commissioner Stiff stated his concurrence with Commissioner
Frost, stating he feels this
process will create a much better project.
It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner
Vincent, that the
Commission authorize and direct staff to proceed with the annexation process, including
preparation of an annexation agreement which includes provisions for: (1) waivers of right to
protest the creation of SID's for improvements to and signalization of the intersection of West Main
Street and West College Street; (2) waiver of right to protest the creation of an SID for
improvements to West College Street; (3) provision of usable water rights or a cash-in-lieu of water
rights payment; (4) dedication of the right-of-way for possible future extension of West Garfield
~Street; and (5) waiver of right to protest participation in improvements to the North 17th Avenue
_.~
interceptor sewer trunk line. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting
Aye being Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Vincent, Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Frost
and Mayor Swanson; those voting no, none.
Adjournment - 7:27 D.m.
There being no further business to come before the
Commission at this time, it was moved
by Commissioner Vincent, seconded by Commissioner Knapp, that the meeting be adjourned. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vincent,
Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Stiff and Mayor Swanson; those voting
. No, none.
