Decision - Conditional Use Permit - Renee C. Thorp - allow private school in one unit of
an existing four -unit apartment building -- Lot 5, Block 9, Thompson's Fourth Addition
1MIR �`ni�t ntrca Avpniipl
This was the time and place set for the decision on the Conditional Use Permit re-
quested by Renee C. Thorp to allow a private school in one unit of an existing four -unit
apartment building on Lot 5, Block 9, Thompson's Fourth Addition.. The subject property
is more commonly known as 1813B South Rouse Avenue.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that they had conducted the public
hearing on this application at last week's meeting.
Commissioner Swanson requested a review on the status of the recommended con-
ditions, particularly in light of discussions and questions raised at last week's meeting.
Assistant Planner Debbie Arkell highlighted the concerns raised as well as the cur-
rent status of each. She noted that the applicant had originally requested that Condition
No. 1, requiring immediate installation of sidewalks along South Rouse Avenue, be
removed; however, she has since decided it best to install those sidewalks to ensure the

7 be amended to require that the fence installed under this application be removed at such
time as this conditional use ceases, in an effort to restore the integrity and openness of
the neighborhood.
Responding to questions from the Commission, the Assistant Planner stated that the
chain link fence proposed by the applicant is a legal fence under the interim zoning ordi-
nance and could be installed at any time without any type of review required.
City Manager Wysocki noted that the method of garbage collection is specifically ad-
dressed in each conditional use permit and suggested that Condition No. 4 be amended and
remain in the list of conditions, so that it is easily recognized that the issue was dis-
cussed. He suggested that it could be revised to indicate that the applicant be allowed to
continue the present curbside pick -up, with staff watching the volume and ordering the
installation of a garbage dumpster and enclosure if and when it is required, with the lo-
cation and construction of the enclosure to be acceptable to the City Sanitation Superinten-
dent.
It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the
Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by Renee C. Thorp to allow a
private school in one unit of an existing four -unit apartment building on Lot 5, Block 9,
Thompson's Fourth Addition, as set forth in Application No. Z -9146, subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
1. That the applicant provide a City standard sidewalk on the west side
of South Rouse Avenue adjacent to her property and that prior to in-
stallation of the sidewalk, obtain a sidewalk permit. Installation of
the sidewalk will also require relocation of the existing rail fence to
the property line. The sidewalk shall be shown on the final site
plan;
2. That adequate snow removal areas shall be shown on the final site
plan;
3. That the watercourse on the west side of the building must remain
unobstructed and unaltered as it is an identified, unnumbered Zone A
floodplain;
4. That the existing curbside garbage pick -up system be allowed to re-
main, with City staff monitoring the volume to ensure that it does not
substantially increase. In the event that a substantial increase is
noted in the amount of garbage collected, City staff shall require that
a garbage dumpster and enclosure be installed, with the location and
detail of the enclosure shown on the final site plan. The location
shall be verified and acceptable to the City Sanitation Superintendent;
5. That any future sign for the school shall comply with the City sign
code and receive a sign permit prior to construction of the sign;
6. That the school hours be limited to 7:50 a.m. to 4 :00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, with the exception of special activities, and that the
school session basically coincide with the public school system, i.e.,
early fall through late spring;
7. That the chain link fence for the play area be constructed prior to
the opening of the school, with said chain link fence to be relocated
so that it includes the steps from the school;
8. That the required second exit and any other Uniform Building Code

Mayor Hawks noted that this is to be a work session, with the Commissioners
providing input on' the revisions they feel are necessary prior to adoption of the final zone
code.
Planning Director Andy Epple cautioned the Commission that the zone map changes
being considered are a part of the overall final zone code adoption; and care must be tak-
en that no separate action is taken on those elements of the code. He noted that staff has
advertised those zone map changes as a part of the code adoption process; and that pro-
cess is substantially different from the process followed for a freestanding zone map
change.
Responding to Mayor Hawks, the Director stated that a Commission consensus on
how they view each of the specific zone map change proposals would be beneficial, recog-
nizing it is not an official action of any type, nor do their statements today eliminate the
possible changing of their minds. He then indicated that the official action taken on these
proposed changes will be done in conjunction with the motion to adopt the new zone code
document as revised.
Mayor Hawks asked each of the Commissioners to respond on each of the proposed
zone map changes, as follows..
1. Northeast sector. All Commissioners indicated support for rezoning the sub-
ject area from R -3 to R -3A. Comments included the fact that this was a resident- initiated
change, and the fact that there was minimal negative comment, generally submitted by
those owning property along North Rouse Avenue. It was also noted that a higher res-
idential development may be possible alone North Rouse Avenue, under the criteria set
forth in the master plan for urban residential infill.
2. North Tracy Historic District. All Commissioners stated support for rezoning
the area from R -3 to R -3A.
3. North portion of the Cooper Park Historic District. The Commissioners con-
curred with the staff recommendation that, rather than rezoning the entire proposed area
from R -4 to R -3A, it would be more appropriate to leave that portion adjacent to West
Babcock Street zoned R -4 with the remainder of the proposed area being rezoned to R -3A.
4. South Tracy /South Black /Bogert Park area. All Commissioners stated sup-
port for the proposed rezoning from R -3 to R -3A. It was noted there is a substantial
amount of property owner support for this proposed rezoning, in light of the petition
which was recently submitted.
5. Patterson Road. All Commissioners stated support for the proposed rezoning
from A -S to R -S, noting it is owner - initiated.
6. North Bon Ton Historic District. This proposed rezoning from R -4 to R -3A
has received a recommendation for denial from the Planning staff and a "no recommenda-

City has initiated this zone map change, which has not received resident support. He
further indicated he is apprehensive about supporting the staff recommendation.
Planning Director Epple noted that the Commission discussion appears to be leading
toward a different proposal, which would require a new public hearing. He then suggest-
ed that this proposed zone map change not be included in final adoption of the code, but
that staff continue to work on it after the code has been finally adopted. The Commission
concurred.
The Planning Director then reviewed the various comments contained in his memo of
July 7, asking for Commission discussion or concurrence on each individual item. He not-
ed that these comments pertain to Attachments A, B and C, which are recommended
amendments to the May 31, 1991 draft of the final zone code.
Attachment A . Major /substantive issues.
The Commission concurred with staff recommendation that Nos. 1 through 26, 28
and 30 remain as presented.
No. 27. The Commission concurred with the proposed revision.
No. 29. The Planning Director noted that this revision represents a rather sweep-
ing change. fie noted that the provision for deviations in the entryway overlay corridor
is eliminated, leaving a strictly prescriptive sign ordinance in place for those areas. He
stated that the deviation process would still be available in the historic preservation
overlay district. The Planning Director stated that this revision should dramatically de-
crease the workload of the DRB, which has been overloaded with small project reviews
under the interim zoning ordinance. He then indicated that the revisions proposed for
Table A. must also be carried forward to Table E., which was inadvertently omitted from
his memo.
Mayor Hawks noted that flexibility on signage through the deviation process was
originally included because the business owners wanted a flexible code; and this was the
compromise. He stated that during the interim zoning ordinance, it has become apparent
that almost everyone has used the deviation process rather than comply with the standard
sign restrictions, thus overloading the process. He then asked if it would be possible to
establish a set of criteria which staff would apply to a request for deviation to the sign
code, rather than having such a request go through the DRB. He noted that this would
provide some minor flexibility without the current workload.
Planning Director Epple responded that is a possibility. He then requested an op-
portunity to develop some proposed criteria, noting that it must be equitable and easily
applied. He cautioned, however, that "we have been down this road before" and it led to
the problem of sign deviations.
Commissioner Swanson noted that during the public hearing, one of the business

Mayor Hawks suggested that the Commission temporarily suspend this discussion for
the next agenda item.
Discussion - authority for setting of salary for Director of Libraries
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that this item was requested by
Commissioner Knapp. He noted that, included in the Commissioners' packets, was a memo
from City Attorney Becker, dated July 2, 1991, along with a. copy of Sections 22 -1 -301
through 22 -1 -325, Montana Code Annotated, and 41 Opinion Attorney General No. 91, is-
sued on November 13, 1986.
City Attorney Becker stated that he has received a copy of the first page of an At-
torney General's letter opinion issued on April 26, 1988, which indicates that the issues of
how a library was established or how it is funded have no bearing on whether the 1986 AG
opinion applies to a specific library. He noted, therefore, that under this letter opinion,
there is no distinction between libraries funded by the general fund and those libraries
funded by a special mill levy. The City Attorney noted, however, that general fund mon-
ies are used to fund the public library; and those monies are appropriated by the City
Commission.
Commissioner Knapp noted that there are monies from sources, in addition to reve-
nues generated through the City's mill levy. She stated that this year's budget included
revenues of $41,000 from the County, $1,500 from the Broad Valleys Federation' of Li-
braries, and $12,000 in fines and forfeitures. She noted that in reality, the revenues re-
ceived exceeded the projections by $7,000 from the County, $1,200 from the Broad Valleys
Federation of Libraries and $6,000 in fines and forfeitures. The Commissioner then noted
that these additional sources of revenues are available on an annual basis and are, there-
fore, a part of the overall picture.
Administrative Services Director Gamradt cautioned that, no matter what the original
source, all of the monies for the library operations are funded through the City's general
fund. He noted, therefore, those monies must be appropriated by the City Commission;
and the Library Board of Trustees cannot exceed those appropriations.
Commissioner Knapp noted that Section 22 -1 -310, Montana Code Annotated, states:
The board of trustees of each library shall appoint and set the compensation
of the chief librarian who shall serve as the secretary of the board and shall
serve at the pleasure of the board. With the recommendation of the chief
librarian, the board shall employ and discharge such other persons as may
be necessary in the administration of the affairs of the library, fix and pay
their salaries and compensation, and prescribe their duties.
The Commissioner stated that, based on that section of the State statutes and the two
Attorney General opinions which have been cited, she feels it is the responsibility of the

rity to set the budget and then request the funding therefor.
Mayor Hawks noted that the Board has the ability to set the salaries of its employ-
ees within the confines of the Commission's appropriation. He noted that if the Commission
does not approve all of the Board's requests, but decreases the funding in the totals for
the three categories, the Board must determine how the reduced appropriations are to be
utilized.
Mrs. Edna Berg, member of the Library Board of Trustees, noted appreciation for
the City Commission's support of the library. She then noted that in each of the past two
years, however, the Board has requested extraordinary salary increases for the Director,
which the Commission has not funded. She stated she feels that it is the Board's preroga-
tive to set the Director's salary; however, the funding needs to be provided to cover such
increases.
Mayor Hawks noted that the Board's requests will be considered during the budget-
ary process, which will be undertaken in the near future.
Deviation to Section 18.50.070 of the interim zoning ordinance to allow construction of
6- foot -high cedar privacy fence within side yard setback - Ayn Cabaniss 421 West Lamme
Street; per DRB recommendation
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that he had requested this item be
removed from the consent items, at Mayor Hawks' request.
Mayor Hawks noted that the Commission had received some additional information on
this application just prior to the meeting.
Planning Director Epple noted that the additional information has been provided at
the Mayor's request. He reminded the Commission that their policy on back -up information
on this type of request has changed; and the staff person responsible for this project has
not processed such an application since the change. He then noted that the information
now before the Commission includes the comprehensive information which they have re-
quested,
Assistant Planner Jesse Aber briefly reviewed the information which was submitted
to the Commission prior to the meeting. He stated the applicant, Ayn Cabaniss, has re-
quested a deviation to allow construction of a six- foot--high wood privacy fence within the
required 15 -foot corner side yard setback. He noted that the deviations requested include
a deviation to the four -foot- height limitation as well as the 15 -foot setback requirement.
He indicated that the application is to allow construction of the fence along the property
line, which would require a 15 -foot deviation.
The Assistant Planner stated that the Design Review Board has reviewed this appli-
cation, and highlighted the comments of those members present. He stated that one mem-
ber adamantly supported a deviation to allow construction of the proposed fence along the

Deci
a. Consensus,.,o,n the six zone map changes
b. Work ses n re process for adoption o zone code
Attachment C. P"/icy issues for further discussion.
Planning Director Epp|c noted that Attachment C contains nine rather extensive is-
sues for discussion. The Commission then discussed each of these issues, as follows.
l. Composition of the Design Review Board.
Commissioner Knapp stated she does not f*o| there is a need for a Planning Board
member to serve on the DRB.
Planning Director Epp/e stated that approximately 30 to 40 percent of the DRB deci-
sions are forwarded to the City-County Planning 8ppru. He stated that the Planning
Board has felt, therefore, that it is important to have one of its members serve on the
DRB to maintain some type of continuity and communication.
Mayor Hawks noted that hiytnrica||y, a cross-over membership between the Planning
Board, Zoning Commission and Board of Adjustment existed to allow those boards to be
cognizant of what the other was doing. He then suggested that the same continuity is
being provided by the Planning staff reporting on the activities taking place within the
other applicable bodies,
Commissioner Knapp stated that the DRB is a professional board which provides
professional input to both the Planning Board and the City Commission, She su0gested,
therefore, that its composition he revised.
Commissioner Swanson stated concurrence with Commissioner Knapp^s comments.
Mayor Hawks expressed concern about the definition of "equivalent," noting it is
difficult to make that determination. He suggested that to insert "substantial equivalent"
could help to alleviate some potential problems in interpretation. The Mayor noted the
difficulties which the DRB presently has in meeting the quorum requirement, indicating
that Commissioner Knapp'a suggestion may help to alleviate some of them. He then stated
that he still feels that the non-professional input on the DRB to date has been beneficial;
however, he recognizes the benefits of the proposed a|tcrnativr.
Responding to Commissioner Frost. the Planning Director stated he is not comfort-
able with the proposal for a nine-member board serving on a rotating basis, noting that
could create scheduling problems and some substantial delays. He suggested rather a
five- or seven-member board or prvpesswna|s, He suggested that a seven-member board
could more easily meet the quorum requirements. He then suggested that m five-member
board could be comprised of hour professionals, including a mix of architects, landscape
architect and architectural histor/ao, and one from the building industry.
Following discussion, the Commissioners concurred in a five-member Design Review
Board, to be comprised of four professionals and one urban designer or historic prmaer-

The City Manager presented to the Commission the following Consent Items.
Authorize City Manager to sign - Pipeli Right -of -Way Easement with
Montana Power Company - 10- foot -wide easement across City proper
in the SE4, NW4, Section 26, T1S, RSE, MPM (WWTP)
Claims
It was moved by Commissioner Knapp, seconded by Commissioner Goehrung, that
the Commission approve the Consent Items as listed, and authorize and direct the appro-
priate persons to complete the necessary actions. The motion carried by the following Aye
and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Goehrung, Com-
missioner Frost, Commissioner Swanson and Mayor Hawks; those voting No, none.
Decision (continued) - adoption of the final draft zone code dated
a. Consensus on the six zone map changes
b. Work session re process for adoption o zone code
31, 1991
Attachment C (continued) . Policy issues for further discussion.
2. Adding "lodging houses" (bed and breakfasts) as a permitted conditional use
in the R -3A and R -O districts.
Mayor Hawks stated that he feels such an inclusion is appropriate; the Commission-
ers concurred.
3. Strike essential services (Type 11) from permitted conditional uses in all res-
idential zoning districts.
Planning Director Epp[e stated this item was discussed at the Planning Board meet-
ing.
Mayor Hawks stated that a review of the list of Type 11 essential services revealed
that several of those uses could create the potential for a substantial amount of conflict
with surrounding residential development. He rioted that most of those uses are light in-
dustrial to heavy industrial in nature.
Commissioner Frost stated he feels this type of use could be adequately addressed
in a neighborhood conservation district; however, he does not feel there would be ade-
quate protection for residential areas outside those boundaries.
Planning Director Epple rioted that water filling stations for firefighting and public
domestic water storage facilities are listed under the Type 11 essential services; and it is
important that such facilities be allowed in residential areas. He suggested it may be ben-
eficial to break those items out from the Type II listing and allow them to be located in
residential zones.
Responding to Commissioner Swanson, the Planning Director stated that if Type 11
essential services are eliminated, they could be installed in residential areas only through
a commercial PUD; and the locations of such PUD °s are severely restricted.

a vision problem, it takes quite some time for a tree to grow enough to be trimmed up
eight feet; and, in the meantime, it does create a visibility problem. He stated the Direc-
tor of Public Service is also concerned about the number of encroachments which can lie
within a sight triangle, such as signs, power poles and tree trunks. He then suggested
that it may be beneficial to protect the street sight triangles but allow large canopy trees
in the alley sight triangles.
Responding to Mayor Hawks, the Director suggested that a distinction be made be-
tween existing landscaping and new landscaping. He noted that existing large canopy
trees could be allowed to remain, provided they are trimmed to the minimum height
required.
Mayor Hawks stated it is important to not grandfather in unsafe conditions; howev-
er, he feels that those landscape features which do not interfere with safety should be
permitted to remain. He then stated that he feels that landscaping which does not inter-
fere with visibility should be allowed to exist within the sight triangle, noting that for a
corner lot, meeting all of the sight triangle requirements can make landscaping extremely
difficult.
Commissioner Frost stated concern about enforcing the sight triangle requirements
for driveways and alleys. He noted that, particularly on the south side, a number of
trees would need to be removed to comply with those requirements.
Planning Director Epple suggested that this item be addressed during the "fine tun-
ing" period following adoption of the code. He then noted that the revision, which will be
forthcoming at a later date, should provide an allowance for large canopy trees, but not
bushy trees or shrubbery or evergreens; the Commission concurred.
7. Add the phrase "or substantial equivalence" in Section 18.50.100.D.3.c.
The Planning Director noted that under the interim zoning ordinance, a qualified
nurseryman is allowed to prepare landscape plans; however, that provision is deleted in
the final code, allowing only a "registered Montana Landscape Architect, or an individual
with a degree in landscape design and five years of professional experience" to prepare
such plans. He noted that he had proposed adding "or substantial equivalence" at the end
of the sentence; however, the Planning Board has stated support for allowing a qualified
nurseryman to continue preparing landscape plans.
The Planning Director stated that the nurserymen have a problem with the language
"qualified Montana nurseryman." He also expressed concern that the requirement creates
an ambiguity in who is qualified, which must then be addressed by the Planning Director.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, the Director stated he does not have a list of
qualifications for this provision; however, he suggested that he could prepare one for
Commission consideration. The Commissioners concurred with that proposal.

dinance, or February 12, 1998. He noted that this method would be much easier to admin-
ister and would create fewer problems for everyone concerned.
Mayor Hawks noted that at a recent meeting with the Missoula Chamber of Com-
merce, an individual from that community stated that one of the biggest mistakes they had
made was the single -date amortization schedule for non - conforming signs. He noted that
all pressure is taken off the staff and Commission at the time of the adoption; and all of
that pressure occurs near the eight -year mark, when the staff and Commission are com-
prised of new members.
The Planning Director concurred that is a problem with the single -date amortization
schedule. He then suggested that a revised amortization schedule could be developed
based on the date of adoption of the final zone code.
Commissioner Swanson stated an interest in beginning the amortization process with-
in the next two and one -half years, while at least three of the current Commissioners are
stiff serving. He then asked if it would be possible to establish a $2,000 limit for the first
signs to be replaced, and place the burden of proof upon the business owners to show
that their signs are valued at greater than $2,000.
Responding to a suggestion from Commissioner Swanson, the City Manager indicated
that there is no statutory provision for the City to provide financial alternatives for the
replacement of signs, like the installation of sidewalks. He further suggested it would be
inappropriate for the City to become involved in that manner.
Responding to Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Goehrung stated that he has
not seen any grant funding opportunities for this type of program in his search for fund-
ing for various activities.
Responding to the City Attorney, the Planning Director reviewed the amortization
schedule which is included in the interim zoning ordinance.
Following discussion, the Commissioners concurred that the amortization schedule
contained in the interim zoning ordinance should be revised, with portable signs to be re-
moved by February 12, 1992, and the remainder of the schedule being revised to be effec-
tive on October 1 of each year contained in the current schedule. The Commission recog-
nized that this gives business owners an additional eight months for the amortization of
signs; and it provides an easy--to--remember date which is close to the anticipated effective
date of the final zone code. The Commissioners further concurred that staff is to assume
that all existing non- conforming signs within the community and jurisdictional area are
valued at no more than $2,000, unless otherwise proven by the business owner.
Planning Director Epple indicated that staff will conduct a windshield inventory of
non- conforming signs as soon as possible in anticipation of this amortization process.

and story windows along Main Street would be prohibited. He noted that the code does
limit painted signage to 25 percent of the window area; and that provision would be appli-
cable to second story signs if they are allowed.
Mayor Hawks noted that second story painted window signs are almost an historic
use in the downtown area, stating support for allowing them to continue.
The Commissioners concurred that second floor painted window signage should be
allowed.
5. Drive access requirements..
Planning Director Epple stated that he has discussed this issue with Director of
Public Service Phill Forbes; and they have not yet found any good solutions. He noted
that the standards appear to make sense when redevelopment of a site is discussed; how-
ever, he noted they do not seem to work in practicality. He noted that service stations
seem to have a particularly difficult time meeting those requirements.
Mayor Hawks suggested that service stations be excepted out of this requirement.
The Planning Director cautioned that care must be taken to ensure that safety is-
sues can be adequately addressed. He suggested this is an issue that could be addressed
during the "fine tuning" process.
Commissioner Goehrung left the meeting at 9:00 p.m.
General Commissioner discussions
1. Mayor Hawks asked about elimination of flashing lights on existing non-
conforming signs and the timeline for such elimination.
The Planning Director indicated those would be subject to the amortization schedule
adopted by the Commission above, provided they do not create a safety hazard; following a
brief discussion, the Commissioners concurred.
2. Commissioner Frost suggested three issues to be addressed: (1) definition
of "water course" should be revised; (2) water run -off and detention /retention facilities,
snow removal and storage areas, and natural on -site drainage; and (3) revision of the re-
quirement for plan review for all projects, including single - family residential units and du-
plexes, which were previously eliminated.
The Planning Director noted that under the final zone code, single - family and du-
plex units are subjected only to sketch plan reviews, which are minimal reviews, to ensure
compliance with the zoning regulations.
3. Commissioner Swanson noted that Section 18.65.100 stipulates that "A flag,
pennant, or insignia of any nation, ..." is exempt from the regulations of this ordinance;
however, the sign charts on Pages 221 and 222 stipulate that flags shall not exceed 60
square feet and the pole shall not exceed 40 feet in height.
