Stiff, Commissioner Vincent, Commissioner Knapp, City Manager Wysocki,
City Attorney Luwe
and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan.

Minutes - June
15, 1992
It was moved by
Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the minutes
of the regular
meeting of June 15, 1992, be approved as amended. The motion carried by the
. .: following Aye and No vote:
those voting Aye being Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Stiff,

Decision - appeal
of DRC's conditional aDproval of minor site Dlan to allow relocation of recreational
vehicle sales &
service to 714 & 716 East M~in Street and to allow the addition of auto sales &
service at 714
& 71E) East Main Street - Gene E. Badgley
City Manager Wysocki
reminded the Commission that they had conducted the public
hearing on this
appeal at last week's meeting. He then noted that the City Attorney has prepared
(
a couple optional
motions for the Commission to consider.
tl
Commissioner Frost
stated that the minutes of the January 21 meeting clearly reflect his
rv
position regarding
grand fathered uses; and his opinion has not changed.
. /""'. Commissioner Stiff stated he continues to have concern about whether the gross or net
DE ve/op,
property is under
discussion. He noted that under the 1978 affidavit, the property owner has
co
actually donated
the use of his land to the City for an extended period of time. He then stated that
he feels the City
should consider the total parcel, not just a portion of it.
Commissioner Knapp
stated concurrence with Commissioner Frost's comments, noting
it was the Commission's
intent when the original decision was made to address the use in place

at that time, not future use of the property.
Mayor Swanson stated support for the comments forwarded by Commissioners Frost and
Knapp. He then suggested that a "thank you" to Mr. Badgley for the use of his property is long
overdue. He also stated that he felt it important to determine whether he would make the same
decision on this parcel as on any other parcel in town; and he feels that he would.
. Commissioner Frost noted it is his understanding that a use, as exists on a specific parcel,
is grandfathered rather than the entire parcel. He then stated that this process does not result in
the taking of land or preventing its use, rather the determination is whether any expansion of the
use is to be construed as a conditional use or a permitted use.
It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Knapp, that the
Commission modify the Development Review Committee's Condition No.6 by substituting the
appellants proposed condition, which reads:
6. That should
the applicant desire to expand south of the Story Ditch,
any requested
modification should be made as an in-house summary
review
by the DRC and ORB to review the proposal against the
regulatory
standards set forth in the Bozeman zoning ordinance (i.e.,
landscaping,
buffering, screening, drainage, setbacks, lighting, impacts
. to existing ditch).
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Stiff,
Commissioner Knapp and Commissioner Vincent; those voting No being Commissioner Frost and
Mayor Swanson.
Commissioner Knapp expressed her extreme concern that she had misunderstood the
original motion prior to voting.
It was moved by Commissioner Knapp, seconded by Commissioner Frost, that the
Commission reconsider its prior action.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote:
those voting Aye being Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Vincent and
Mayor Swanson; those voting No being Commissioner Stiff.
The Commission then voted once again on the original motion, which was to modify the
.Development Review Committee's Condition No. 6 by substituting the appellants proposed
condition, which reads:
6. That should
the applicant desire to expand south of the Story Ditch,
any requested
modification should be made as an in-house summary
review
by the DRC and ORB to review the proposal against the
regulatory
standards set forth in the Bozeman zoning ordinance (i.e.,

Slide Dresentation
re updatina zonina Drocess
The City
Manager reminded the Commission that this
item was requested
by
Commissioner Frost.
. Planning Director Andy Epple stated that a review of the March 9 minutes revealed that
quite a bit of
time was devoted to discussion of possible alternatives and approaches to sign
regulations.
He suggested that the Commission might benefit from a slide presentation, to
graphically demonstrate
the impacts of different heights and sizes of signs, as well as different
setbacks. He then
stated that the slide show which the Commission will see is basically pertaining
to signage. He
further suggested that this slide show serve as a springboard back into the zone
code amendment
process, which has been sidetracked for the past three months.
Assistant Planner Dave Grigsby presented the slide show, noting that these slides pertain
to signage.
He showed slides of the interstate area, moving to North 7th Avenue, West Main
Street, South 19th
Avenue, East Main Street and the downtown area. He also showed slides from
other sites in
and around the community, including Billion Plaza, the Advanced Technology Park,
.Bozeman Deaconess Hospital and Brentwood Subdivision.
During the slide presentation, Assistant Planner Grigsby provided the heights and sizes of
the various signs,
as well as any violations which they represent. He also noted the importance
of sign design,
noting that even if a sign is in compliance with the height and size requirements,
it may still not
be an asset to the site.

Commissioner Frost stated that the lower signs, such as the monument sign for Capital
Speedy Auto Glass on North 7th Avenue, are much easier to see when driving because they are
in one's line of sight. He noted that one must look up to see the tall signs, thus losing sight of
the
road and what is occurring close by.
The Assistant Planner noted the architectural merit of the sign at American Federal. He
.noted that, while it exceeds the height and size requirements and it is located in the setback, it
blends well with the building and the site; and to allow such signs to remain could help to address
clutter along the roadway.
Planning Director Epple reminded the Commission that at the March 9 meeting, the
Commissioners had indicated support for possibly decreasing the setback from the property line to
five feet rather than the current ten feet.
He also noted that support was expressed for
accelerating the sliding scale for height of signs.
He stated that staff will experiment with this
issue, possibly seeking to provide maximum height at a distance of 40 to 50 feet, rather than the
current 70 feet from property line.
The Planning Director then emphasized the importance of innovative design in signage,
.in conjunction with its height and size. He then suggested there may be some merit in providing
a certain amount of flexibility for signage which has architectural integrity or which is designed
for
compatibility with the site.
Planning Director Epple noted that the idea of allowing additional size for multi-business
signage has been lost in the conversion from the interim code to the final code; therefore, signs
for
commercial centers, such as Buttrey's, are subject to the 48-square-foot size and 8-foot height
limitations.
The Assistant Planner showed slides of the car dealerships and gas stations along West
Main Street, noting that they graphically demonstrate the concept that "higher is better", and the
attendant clutter.
The Planning Director stated an interest in seeing the installation of more signs like the
.monument sign for Billion Plaza, noting that once an individual enters such a plaza, speeds are
much lower, and one can find a business by watching signage installed on buildings or small
freestanding signs.
City Manager Wysocki noted there had been previous discussions about not allowing
signage to visually exceed the height of the building, and asked if that has been pursued any
06-22-92

further.
The Planning Director indicated that the concept is good; however, some practical issues
arise, such as the perspective from which the signage is viewed. He then suggested a possibility
might be to set a specific point, Le., five feet off the ground at a point on the sidewalk immediately
across the street from the subject site.
. The Assistant Planner then showed slides of the signage in the downtown area, and the
use of canopies. He noted that at the present time, the downtown area is, for the most part, nicely
done and attractive.
Planning Director Epple reiterated his desire to discuss possible additional zone code
amendments, suggesting that time be set aside on an agenda within the next two weeks to begin
that process once again.
Discussion - staff recommendation re auction sale of lots
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a memo from Administrative Services
Director Gamradt, dated June 19, along with a copy of a letter from Michael Delaney to Dave
.osterman, dated June 10, and a letter from Mr. Osterman to the City, dated June 11.
Administrative Services Director Miral Gamradt reminded the Commission that during
discussions conducted prior to the auction sale, Mr. Joe Sabol and Mike Delaney assured the City
that it would encounter no problems in receiving quit claim deeds for the lots to be sold at auction
and it would be "business as usual". He stated that, based on that comment, the City proceeded
with the auction, at which only one of the eight lots was sold.
The Director noted that, as reflected in the letters forwarded, the restrictive covenants
were not removed; and Mr. Osterman has requested that his down payment be refunded.
He
stated that staff has met with attorney Bob Planalp as a result of receiving these letters, and
forwards the recommendation that the City refund Mr. Osterman's down payment. He noted that
staff may also pursue various options for removal of the covenants.
. Responding to Mayor Swanson, the Director stated that the restrictive covenants, which
limit use of the land south of West Babcock Street to agricultural use, have been removed for all
of the other lots which have been sold to date, including the block of 51 lots which was sold at
the last sale and all of the multi-family lots which have been spread over a number of sales.
Commissioner Frost noted that under the original discussions surrounding this subject
06-22-92
- 6 -
auction sale, Mr. Sabol indicated that the City would be breaking its agreement with Mr. Delaney
if it were to pursue acquiring all of the remaining lots by paying the back taxes. He then expressed
concern that Mr. Delaney has, in fact, broken that agreement, and suggested that the Commission
may wish to reconsider this option.
City Attorney Luwe cautioned the Commission that the staff is looking at various options,
.and does not wish to eliminate any option at this time.
Commissioner Stiff expressed his grave concern about voiding a transaction, particularly
one where the issues involve the previous owner and the purchaser, not the City.
He noted,
however, there a lot of legal implications involved; and he can understand staff's recommendation.
Commissioner Vincent questioned how sale of the lot could have taken place without
anyone being aware of the covenants attached.
The City Manager stated that the City proceeded with the sale, based on Mr. Delaney's
assurance that it would be "business as usual". He stated that with that assurance, the staff had
no reason to believe that the covenants would not be removed, as they had been in the past.
Responding to
Commissioner Frost, the
Director stated
that the City incurred
.approximatelY $2,300 in advertising costs for the auction. He stated that at the present time, it
does not appear that the City will be billed for any auctioneer costs.
It was moved by Commissioner Knapp, seconded by Commissioner Frost, that the
Commission authorize the City staff to refund Mr.
David Osterman's down payment of
$23,714.72, for Lot 4A, Block 1 of the Valley Unit Subdivision, which was purchased at the
auction sale held on June 9, 1992. 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.
Discussion - goals listing for FY93
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that this item was requested for
.diScussion by Commissioner Stiff.
Commissioner Stiff stated it had been his impression that there would be one more
meeting in the goal setting process, at which time the final listing could be prepared.
He also
expressed concern that, since he was out of town for the entire week before, Commissioner
Vincent did not have adequate opportunity to provide his input in the process.
He noted the
06-22-92
- 7 -
Mayor's intent to speak to various service clubs over the next two months about the Commission's
goals for the upcoming year; and he feels that the list must first be finalized.
Commissioner Stiff then expressed concern that many of the goals listed are actually
attitudinal items and job descriptions, rather than actual goals. He then cited the following specific
examples: under City Manager, the first goal, which reads "oversee progress/completion of
.commission/department goals". He noted that this listing of goals actually sets forth direction for
the City Manager for the upcoming year, and is the basis upon which he is evaluated.
Under
Administrative Services Director, the first goal pertains specifically to a "challenging attitude"
and
the use of work plans to challenge staff. He also noted that three other goals under that heading
actually are in process. Under City Attorney, the first goal, which pertains to code enforcement,
is actually being pursued at this time, and will continue to be, whether it is listed as a priority
goal
or not. Under Recreation Department, the fourth goal pertains to development of an incentive plan,
which really does not fit into the category of a goal.
Commissioner Stiff then noted that many of the departmental listings include items
pertaining to public relations, suggesting that all of those goals should be consolidated into one
.overall goal which pertains to all City employees.
Commissioner Stiff also raised concern about the fact that several of the goals involve the
addition of personnel, which infringes upon the budgeting process. He noted that is the reason that
a three-year budget projection is so important. He also noted the large ticket items contained on
the list, such as the Law and Justice Center, the transportation plan and major solid waste
management issues.
Commissioner Stiff then reiterated his concern that this process is not yet completed.
Mayor Swanson stated that, while he intends to highlight some of the Commission's goals
for the upcoming year during his talks to service clubs, he does not intend to strongly focus on
them. He further noted his intent to forward the Commission's position, not his own, during those
presentations.
. Responding to the Mayor, the City Manager stated that these goals provide the
administration with guidance in preparing the budget. He then cautioned the Commission that staff
is trying to finalize the budget for the upcoming fiscal year; therefore, it is important that this
goal
setting process be completed quickly.
Commissioner Knapp noted the importance of setting goals prior to the budgetary process.

She then stated that she is comfortable with the current list of goals, fully recognizing that some
of the goals will be met during the fiscal year, while others won't be met.
,
Commissioner Frost noted that the process followed this year was different from that
followed in last years; however, he stated that he feels the results have been good and have
provided a more balanced list of goals that involve all departments. He then noted that, while he
aas not comfortable with this list of goals initially, he now feels it is an appropriate list.
City Manager Wysocki noted that this list of goals is more back to the "nuts and bolts"
than it has been for a while. He also stated his support for including two or three priority items
for
each department, so they can focus their efforts.
Responding to Commissioner Vincent, Commissioner Stiff stated he feels the goals listing
should be refined more.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, the City Manager stated staff plans to submit the
proposed budget to the Commission immediately after July 4, then schedule four or five work
sessions on that document.
Following further discussion, the Commission determined it would be appropriate to
.onduct another work session on the goals for Fiscal Year 1992-93 and requested that it be placed
as the last item on next week's agenda.
They also concurred that each Commissioner should
forward his/her comments for revisions to the Clerk, in writing, so they can be included in the
packet.
