Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor & City Commission
FROM: Allyson C. Bristor, Associate Planner
Tim McHarg, Planning Director
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Wilde Room Addition Conditional Use Permit/Certificate of Appropriateness
#Z-10177
MEETING DATE: September 20, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission conditionally approves the application with the
conditions and code provisions recommended in the staff report (conditions listed on page 3 of the staff
report).
BACKGROUND: Property owner Rae Wilde, represented by Zach Edmisten and Matt Massek,
submitted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) /Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application requesting
an expansion greater than 20 percent of the lawful, nonconforming residential use (single-family
household residence) existing on the subject property addressed as 108 East Beall Street. The
Conditional Use Permit is necessary because the lawful residential use is considered nonconforming
since it’s located within the B-3 (Central Business District) commercial zoning district.
The application is proposing a two-story, 258-square foot addition to the existing two-story, 460-square
foot residence, which is greater than the allowable 20 percent expansion of the residential use without
the need of a CUP. The total building area after construction will be 716 square feet and will cover 18
percent of the lot area.
Staff is recommending conditional approval of this application. The recommended conditions of
approval are listed on page 3 of the staff report.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Fiscal impacts are undetermined at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission
Attachments: Staff Report with Attachment

____________________________________________________________________________________
PROPOSAL
This Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application is requesting an
expansion greater than 20 percent of the lawful, nonconforming residential use (single-family household
residence) existing on the subject property addressed as 108 East Beall Street. The Conditional Use
Permit is necessary because the lawful residential use is considered nonconforming since it’s located
within the B-3 (Central Business District) commercial zoning district.
The application is proposing a two-story, 258-square foot addition to the existing two-story, 460-square
foot residence, which is greater than the allowable 20 percent expansion of the residential use without
the need of a CUP. The total building area after construction will be 716 square feet and will cover 18
percent of the lot area.
The property is located outside of any historic districts, but is located within the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District. A COA is required with the CUP because of the proposed exterior
alterations to the existing house.
167
PROJECT LOCATION
The subject property is addressed as 108 East Beall Street and is legally described as Lot 2, Block L,
Original Townsite, City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana. The property is just over 4,000 square
feet in lot area and is located within one of the northern most blocks of the city’s central B-3 (Central
Business) zoning district. Please see an aerial image of the site below.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Community Development and the Development Review Committee
(DRC) reviewed the Conditional Use Permit/Certificate of Appropriateness application requesting an
expansion greater than 20 percent of the lawful, nonconforming residential use (single-family household
residence) existing on the subject property addressed as 108 East Beall Street. As a result, the review
parties recommend to the City Commission approval of said application with the conditions and code

provisions outlined in this staff report. Planning Staff has identified various code provisions that are
currently not met by this application. Some or all of these items are listed in the findings of this staff
report. The applicant must comply with all provisions of Title 18, BMC, which are applicable to this
project, prior to receiving final site plan approval. The applicant is advised that unmet code provisions,
or code provisions that are not specifically listed as conditions of approval, does not, in any way, create
a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) or state
law.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
The Department of Planning and Community Development and the Development Review Committee
(DRC) find that the application, with conditions, is in general compliance with the adopted Growth
Policy and Title 18, BMC. The following project specific conditions of approval are recommended:
Planning
1. The horizontal siding on the new addition shall provide the same exposed width as the existing
house’s horizontal siding.
2. All new windows proposed shall have exterior trim that is similar in scale and proportion to the
existing window trim.
3. Prior to issuance of any type of a demolition/building permit, the applicant shall submit a color
palette for the building to the Department of Planning, which includes actual material samples
and color chips. The materials/color palette shall be presented on a board no larger than 24” x
36” and contain all the primary materials to be utilized on the building including window frames
and doors (entry, garage, and service). All final building elevations shall be keyed to the color
palette to delineate where each individual building material and color is specified. The
materials/color palette shall be subject to final design review and approval by Administrative
Design Review Staff.
4. That the applicant upon submitting the Final Site Plan application for approval by the Planning
Director and prior to issuance of a building permit, will also submit a written narrative
outlining how each of the conditions of approval and code provisions have been satisfied by the
final site plan materials.
Engineering
5. The Final Site Plan materials shall be adequately dimensioned. A complete legend of all line
types used shall also be provided.
6. Sewer and water services shall be shown on the site plan submitted with the Final Site Plan
application and approved by the Water/Sewer Superintendent.
7. Any existing city sidewalk panels along East Beall Street that are damaged during construction
shall be replaced.
8. Necessary backflow prevention must be demonstrated for the existing water service line.
169
ZONING DESIGNATION & LAND USES
As previously noted, the subject property is located in one of the northern most blocks of the B-3
(Central Business) zoning district. The intent of the B-3 zoning district is to provide a central area for
the community’s business, government service and cultural activities. Uses within this district should be
appropriate to such a focal center with inappropriate uses being excluded.
The entire block which this property falls within is currently single-family residential use. The
following land uses and zoning are adjacent to this property’s block:
North: Single-Family and Two-Family Residential, zoned “R-3,” (Residential Medium Density
District);
South: Single-Family and Multi-Family Residential, zoned “B-3”;
East: Single-Family Residential, zoned “R-2,” (Residential Two-Household, Medium Density
District).
West: Single-Family Residential, zoned “B-3.”
ADOPTED GROWTH POLICY DESIGNATION
With the recent update to the Bozeman Community Plan, the entire block which this property is located
was changed from a commercial land use designation to the “Residential” designation. This change
during the update reflects the current use of the block (single-family residential). The “Residential”
classification designates places where the primary activity is urban density living quarters. Other uses
that complement residences are also acceptable, such as parks, low intensity home based occupations,
fire stations, churches and schools. The dwelling unit density expected within this category varies and a
variety of housing types should be blended to achieve the desired density, with large areas of single type
housing discouraged.

The Planning and Community Development Office has reviewed the application for a Conditional Use
Permit and Certificate of Appropriateness against the relevant chapters of Title 18, BMC and as a result
offers the following summary review comments. The findings outlined in this report include comments
and recommended conditions provided by the Development Review Committee (DRC) and
Administrative Design Review (ADR) in response to the CUP and COA review criteria.
SECTION 18.28.050 “STANDARDS FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS”
In considering applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness, staff shall review the application against
the criteria of 18.28.050 and as a result offer the following summary review comments:
A. All work performed in completion of an approved Certificate of Appropriateness shall be
in conformance with the most recent edition of the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring
and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Published 1995), published by U.S. Department of
the Interior, National Park Service, Cultural Resource Stewardship and Partnerships,
Heritage Preservation Services, Washington, D.C. (available for review at the Department
of Planning).
Staff finds that the proposed construction conforms to the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation, which encourages the preservation and rehabilitation of the existing buildings on
the property.
B. Architectural appearance design guidelines used to consider the appropriateness and
compatibility of proposed alterations with original design features of subject structures or
properties, and with neighboring structures and properties, shall focus upon the following:
The Bozeman Design Guidelines for Historic Preservation & the Neighborhood Conservation
Overlay District was referenced by ADR Staff when writing the architectural appearance
comments. Please reference Staff comments below under Part D.
1. Height;
2. Proportions of doors and windows;
3. Relationship of building masses and spaces;
4. Roof shape;
5. Scale;
6. Directional expression;
7. Architectural details;
8. Concealment of non-period appurtenances, such as mechanical equipment;
9. Materials and color scheme.
C. Contemporary, nonperiod and innovative design of new structures and additions to
existing structures shall be encouraged when such new construction or additions do not
destroy significant historical, cultural or architectural structures, or their components, and
when such design is compatible with the foregoing elements of the structure and the
surrounding structures.
Title 18, BMC encourages new construction and contemporary architecture provided primary
emphasis is given to the preservation of existing buildings, and further provided the design of
171
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA
6
such new space enhances and contributes to the aesthetic character and function of the property
and the surrounding neighborhood. Staff notes that preservation of the existing house is the
primary emphasis of the residential addition project. Staff finds that the design contributes to the
aesthetic character and function of the property and surrounding neighborhood.
D. When applying the standards of subsections A-C, the review authority shall be guided by
the Design Guidelines for the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District which are
hereby incorporated by this reference. When reviewing a contemporary, non-period, or
innovative design of new structures, or addition to existing structure, the review authority
shall be guided by the Design Guidelines for the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay
District to determine whether the proposal is compatible with any existing or surrounding
structures.
The Introduction, Chapters 2 and 3, and the Appendix of the Bozeman Design Guidelines for
Historic Preservation & the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District all apply to this
project, as the property is deemed as “non-historically significant” property in the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District. Said sections were all considered during ADR Staff’s
architectural review. The most relevant ones are included below for the Commission’s
consideration. Staff comments are included in italics.
Chapter 2: Design Guidelines for All Properties
A. Topography
Policy: Site work should be planned to protect the assets of the existing topography.
Guidelines:
2. Design a building foundation to conform to the existing topography, rather than
creating extensive cut and fill.
3. Minimize the visual impacts of cut and fill on a site.
The site is generally flat. There will be minimal cut and fill outside of the anticipated
excavation for the new addition’s foundation.
F. Building Form
Policy: A similarity of building forms also contributes to a sense of visual continuity. In
order to maintain this sense of visual continuity, a new building should have basic roof
and building forms that are similar to shoes seen traditionally.
Guidelines:
1. Use building forms that are similar to those seen traditionally on the block. Simple
rectangular solids are typically appropriate.
2. Exotic building and roof forms that would detract from the visual continuity of the
street are discouraged.
The proposed addition is a rectangular solid and simple gable roof.
G. Solid-to-Void Ratio
Policy: The amount of façade that is devoted to wall surface, as compared to that
developed as openings, should be similar to that of historic buildings within the
neighborhood.
Guidelines:
172
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA
7
1. Use a ratio of solid-to-void (wall-to-window) that is similar to that found on historic
structures in the district.
ADR Staff notes that the proposed windows are divided into small panes of glass to
give the appearance of smaller panes similar to those seen traditionally. Staff highly
advises the applicant to consider a non-vinyl material for the new windows, as it will
appear more similar to traditional wood windows
H. Materials
Policy: Building materials of new structures and additions to existing structures should
contribute to the visual continuity of the neighborhood.
Guidelines:
1. Use building materials that appear similar to those used traditionally in the area.
3. New materials that are similar in character to traditional materials may be acceptable
with appropriate detailing.
The proposed horizontal siding on the addition is appropriate for the historic district.
The proposed materials appear similar in character to the traditional materials
utilized on houses in the area, with exception to the vinyl windows. Staff highly
advises the applicant to consider a non-vinyl material for the new windows, as it will
appear more similar in appearance and texture to traditional wood windows.
L. Site Lighting
Guidelines:
1. Lighting should be shielded to prevent any off-site glare.
Staff notes a code provision that all lighting proposed shall be in conformance with
the code including the requirement for shielding. Cutsheets of all proposed fixtures
shall be submitted with the final site plan.
Chapter 3: Guidelines for Residential Character Areas
B. Building Mass and Scale
Policy: The mass and scale of a building is also an important design issue in a residential
character area. The traditional scale of single household houses dominates the
neighborhood, and this similarity of scale also enhances the pedestrian-friendly character
of many streets. In many cases, earlier buildings were smaller than current tastes support;
nonetheless, a new building should, to the greatest extent possible, maintain this
established scale.
Guidelines:
1. Construct a new building to be similar in mass and scale to those single household
residences seen traditionally.
2. On larger structures, step down a building’s height toward the street, neighboring
structures and the rear of the lot.
3. On larger structures, subdivide larger masses into smaller “modules” that are similar
in size to single household residences seen traditionally.
4. The front wall of a new structure should not exceed two stories in height.
The proposed addition is appropriately located to the rear of the existing house and is
similar in mass and scale to the existing house.
173
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA
8
C. Roof Form
Policy: In most neighborhoods, a similarity of roof form also contributes to a sense of
visual continuity. In order to maintain this sense of visual continuity, a new building
should have basic roof form that is similar to those seen traditionally.
Guideline:
1. Use roof forms that are similar to those seen traditionally on the block.
The addition proposed combines a gable shape roof which is similar to the existing
house roof.
E. Conformance with other applicable development standards of this title.
The required criteria for site plan and conditional use permits are examined in the following
sections.
SECTION 18.34.090 “SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA”
In considering applications for a conditional use permit, the City Commission, the DRC, and when
appropriate, the ADR staff shall review the application against the Site Plan Review requirements of
18.34.090 as follows:
1. Conformance to and consistency with the City’s adopted growth policy
The development proposal is in conformance with the Bozeman Community Plan including the
“Residential” land use designation which identifies that other uses within residential areas that
complement residences are also acceptable. In general, community facilities to serve community
needs and the urban densities are encouraged if they respect the residential quality and nature of
the area.
2. Conformance to this title, including the cessation of any current violations
The applicant is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not specifically
listed as conditions of approval, does not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the
lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or state law. The following code provisions
must be addressed prior to final site plan approval:
Planning Provisions:
a) Per Section 18.34.100.C, “City Commission Consideration and Findings for Conditional Use
Permits,” the right to a use and occupancy permit shall be contingent upon the fulfillment of
all general and special conditions imposed by the conditional use permit procedure.
b) Per Section 18.34.100.C, “City Commission Consideration and Findings for Conditional Use
Permits,” all of the special conditions shall constitute restrictions running with the land use,
shall apply and be adhered to by the owner of the land, successors or assigns, shall be
binding upon the owner of the land, his successor and assigns, shall be consented to in
writing, and shall be recorded as such with the County Clerk and Recorder’s Office by the
property owner prior to the issuance of any building permits, final site plan approval or
174
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA
9
commencement of the conditional use.
c) Section 18.34.130 requires the applicant to submit seven (7)copies a Final Site Plan within
six months of preliminary approval containing all of the conditions, corrections and
modifications to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Office.
a. If occupancy of any structure is to occur prior to the installation of all required on-site
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, the applicant shall complete all on-site
improvements within nine (9) months of occupancy to avoid default on the method of
security.
d) Section 18.34.140 states that 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.
e) Section 18.38.050.F requires all mechanical equipment to be screened. Rooftop equipment
should be incorporated into the roof form and ground mounted equipment shall be screened
with walls, fencing or plant materials and may not encroach into required setbacks.
f) Sections 18.42.150 requires a lighting plan for all on-site lighting including wall-mounted
lights on the building must be included in the final site plan submittal. Lighting cut-sheets
shall be provided with the final site plan.
g) Section 18.48.060 requires that all site plans must meet minimum landscape performance
standards. A landscape plan for the entire site shall be submitted with the final site plan that
clearly outlines the existing landscaping installed and any additional landscaping to be
installed following construction of the new dwelling. A minimum of 23 landscape points
shall be provided for the entire site.
h) Per Section 18.02.080 & 18.64.110, the proposed project shall be completed as approved and
conditioned in the Certificate of Appropriateness application. Any modifications to the
submitted and approved application materials shall invalidate the project's legitimacy, unless
the applicant submits the proposed modifications for review and approval by the Department
of Planning prior to undertaking said modifications. The only exception to this law is repair.
i) Per Section 18.64.100.F, the applicant shall obtain a building permit within one year of
Certificate of Appropriateness approval, or said approval shall become null and void. Please
call the Building Department at 406-582-2375 for more information on the building permit
process.
j) Section 18.74.030.A requires that following construction, and prior to occupancy that the
applicant shall provide certification by the architect, landscape architect, engineer or other
applicable professional that all improvements, including but not limited to, landscaping,
ADA accessibility requirements, private infrastructure, or other required elements were
installed in accordance with the approved site plan, plans and specifications, or plat as
applicable.
175
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA

3. Conformance with all other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations
All other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations must be followed. All conditions for a
Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit must be met prior to final site plan approval. The plans will
be further evaluated against the requirements of the International Building Code when an
application is made for a building permit.
4. Relationship of site plan elements to conditions both on and off the property
The proposed addition as conditioned is compatible with the neighborhood character and the
surrounding land use. It is not anticipated to have any material adverse effect upon the abutting
properties.
5. The impact of the proposal on the existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions
The single-household residence is currently a one-bedroom house. There is no driveway or
garage existing on the property that provides on-site parking spaces. The addition will increase
the house to two bedrooms, which initially requires two parking spaces. However, after parking
reductions are applied to the site there is no on-site parking requirement for on-site. A 10
percent transit reduction applies because the property is within 800 feet of the Bridger Park
transit station. This reduction brings the parking requirement down to 1.8 spaces. Additionally,
parking is available on street and up to one of those spaces may be reduced. This reduction
brings the parking requirement down to 0.8 spaces. Finally, when a fraction of a parking space is
required the fractional space is not required to be provided. So Staff finds parking satisfied for
this property.
6. Pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress
Pedestrian ingress and egress to the site is proposed to remain unchanged.
7. Landscaping, including the enhancement of buildings, the appearance of vehicular use,
open space, and pedestrian areas, and the preservation or replacement of natural
vegetation
Staff has noted a code provision that a landscape plan shall be submitted with the final site plan
that meets the required 23 performance points. The proposed landscape plan will be evaluated
for both the required points and compliance with the Conditions of Approval with the final site
plan. Points can be obtained for all of the existing landscaping on site.
8. Open space
None required for this project.
9. Building location and height
The proposed addition is appropriately located to the rear of the existing house and will be the
same height of the existing house.
10. Setbacks
176
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA
11
Because at least 50 percent of the property’s block is used for residential purposes, the minimum
yard setbacks for B-1 and B-2 commercial districts apply to this property. The minimum rear
yard setback for buildings is 10 feet and the minimum side yard setback for buildings is 5 feet.
Both minimums are exceeded with the proposal.
11. Lighting
No site lighting is proposed. Staff notes a code provision that requires that all proposed building
mounted lighting conform to the City’s current lighting standards. Cutsheets of any proposed
building mounted lighting are required with the final site plan.
12. Provisions for utilities, including efficient public services and facilities
Engineering is conditioning that sewer and water services shall be shown on the site plan
submitted with the Final Site Plan application and approved by the Water/Sewer Superintendent.
13. Site surface drainage
Not applicable.
14. Loading and unloading areas
Not applicable.
15. Grading
Due to the relatively low sloping existing grade, minimal grading will be required except as
required to prepare the building foundation area.
16. Signage
Not applicable.
17. Screening
All mechanical equipment shall be screened in accordance with section 18.38.050 BMC. This
shall include, but not be limited too, air conditioners and electric panels. All mechanical
equipment and screening shall be depicted on the site plan and landscaping plan for final site
plan submittal. Staff has noted said screening requirements in the code provisions stated in this
report.
18. Overlay district provisions
The site is located in the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. Please reference the
previous section regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness for analysis.
19. Other related matters, including relevant comment from affected parties
177
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA
12
This application was publicly noticed by posting on site, including in the newspaper and mailing
to adjoining property owners within 200 feet. A copy of the application was also forwarded to
the Inter Neighborhood Council. No public comment has been received in regards to this
application. All comment received after the preparation of this report will be forwarded to the
City Clerk’s office.
20. If the development includes multiple lots that are interdependent for circulation or other
means of addressing requirement of this title, whether the lots are either:
a. Configured so that the sale of individual lots will not alter the approved configuration
or use of the property or cause the development to become nonconforming;
b. The subject of reciprocal and perpetual easements or other agreements to which the
City is a party so that the sale of individual lots will not cause one or more elements of
the development to become nonconforming.
Not applicable.
SECTION 18.34.100 “CITY COMMISSION CONSIDERATION AND FINDINGS FOR
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS”
In addition to the review criteria below, the City Commission shall, in approving a conditional use
permit, find favorably as follows:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate such
use, and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading and landscaping are adequate
to properly relate such use with the land and uses in the vicinity.
The subject property’s surrounding neighborhood block is 100 percent occupied by single-family
household residences. Though the 4,000 square foot property is less in lot area than what our
zoning code currently requires for single-family household residences (5,000 square feet), staff
finds the site adequate is size to accommodate a 258-square foot addition. The proposed
residence complies with the required yard setbacks and is appropriate in character for the
surrounding residences. As proposed, the residential addition is minor in footprint and can be
accommodated by the property.
2. That the proposed use will have no material adverse effect upon the abutting property.
Persons objecting to the recommendations of review bodies carry the burden of proof.
The small residential addition will have no material adverse effect upon the abutting residential
properties. The addition is not creating a physical barrier along property lines or creating an
increase in parking requirements. The proposed addition as conditioned is compatible with the
neighborhood character.
3. That any additional conditions stated in the approval are deemed necessary to protect the
public health, safety and general welfare. Such conditions may include, but are not limited
to: regulation of use; special yards, spaces and buffers; special fences, solid fences and
walls; surfacing of parking areas; requiring street, service road or alley dedications and
improvements or appropriate bonds; regulation of points of vehicular ingress and egress;
regulation of signs; requiring maintenance of the grounds; regulation of noise, vibrations
178
#Z-10177 Wilde Room Addition CUP/COA
13
and odors; regulation of hours for certain activities; time period within which the proposed
use shall be developed; duration of use; requiring the dedication of access rights; other
such conditions as will make possible the development of the City in an orderly and
efficient manner.
Staff has identified, through the review process, conditions that are included to protect the public
health, safety, and general welfare. Please see the recommended conditions of approval on page
3 of this staff report.
CONCLUSION
The Department of Planning and Community Development and the Development Review Committee
(DRC) find that the application, with conditions, is in general compliance with the adopted Growth
Policy and Title 18, BMC. The recommended conditions of approval are on page 3 of this staff report.

Subject:108 E Beall St Addition
Hi Allyson,
Thanks so much for calling this morning. I've been meaning to get to this but just been crazy busy since I got back from
my trip. It was a pleasure finally meeting you. As we discussed at the meeting on August 25th, I will be unable to attend
the city council meeting on Sept 20 but my representative, Zach Edmisten, will attend in my place. If any questions arise
that he is unable to answer I will also be available by phone during the meeting and he has my cell number.
Other issues that came up during the Aug 25 meeting were the condition of the sidewalk and location of utilities. I have
inspected the sidewalk and in my opinion, it's in good condition. Don't know what your procedure is for determining that.
Would you like me to provide digital photos, or will you send someone out to inspect?
I know that the water line comes in on the north side just below the kitchen window, the gas meter is located on the east
side and I assume the gas line comes off of Beall St from the north as well. The sewer line exits the basement near the
SE corner and runs on a diagonal across the back yard on the opposite side from where I propose to build, so I don't think
utilities are a problem as far as excavation goes.
Northwest Energy does have a power pole in the back yard that serves my house, the property on the corner of Beall and
Black, Lamme and Black, and the house directly to the south on Lamme. Service to the two corner properties will have to
be rerouted, in my opinion, and I have contacted NWE about this. Their communication back to me has been very slow
and I need to contact them again, which I will do today.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need and thanks again.
