page-by-page basis, setting forth their recommendations for revision. Those discussions
and revisions include the following.
Page I. Expand the definition of "Staff Forester or City Forester" to include the
background or training needed for that position.
Expand definition of "Forestry Division" to include, under protection, "pruning,
fertilization, bracing and spraying" in the list of responsibilities.

way earlier in the paragraph.
Mayor Hawks noted that the period for filing of an appeal is eight days; and no
action may be taken during that time.
Mr. Dick Pohl suggested that "nuisance tree" be included in the definition section
of the ordinance.
The City Manager suggested that the ordinance should possibly include a statement
which reflects that it is intended to allow the City to control insects and disease in trees
within the city limits, whether those trees are located on public or private property.
The Mayor suggested that such a statement be carefully considered, and included
only if determined appropriate.
Mr. Pohl suggested that the issues of insects and diseases are ones which the tree
board should carefully watch and address as necessary.
Commissioner Swanson stated he feels that if a tree is creating an imminent danger
to pedestrians, the City Forester should have the authority to immediately address the is-
sue, rather than being required to wait eight days for the appeals process.
Commissioner Frost concurred, noting that if the tree poses a hazard to the public
health, safety and welfare, it should be possible for the City Forester to respond immedi-
ately.
Mayor Hawks suggested that, except for obvious situations where immediate action
is mandatory, it may be possible to cordon off the area, allowing a shortened appeal period
prior to taking action.
Responding to Commissioner Goehrung, the Director of Public Service stated that
the time frames for addressing, nuisance shrubs and trees is determined by whether it is
located on private or public property, noting that the time frame for those located on
public property is much shorter than for those located on private property.
Responding to a recommendation from the City Manager, Commissioner Swanson sug-
gested that the tree board serve to hear appeals.
Page 4. Revise Section A.(2) under "Arboricultural Specifications and Standards"
to establish a minimum spacing of 25 feet rather than the proposed 30 feet. Following dis-
cussion, it was determined that it might be more appropriate to develop a chart which in-
cludes two or three different categories of trees, based on their mature size and spread,
with the proper recommended spacings for each of those categories.
Commissioner Frost noted that the zone code is much more restrictive than this pro-
posed ordinance, requiring that a 21 -inch diameter tree be planted as opposed to the
1 -inch tree proposed in this document.
Mr. Dick Pohl stated he prefers the requirement for a 1 -inch diameter tree, or pos-
sibly even a J -inch diameter for ornamental trees. He noted this translates to a 6-- to

Commissioner Swanson noted that an outline of the powers and duties of the board
should be established, along with a set of by -laws, prior to the creation of such a board.
Mr. Dick Pohl noted there are many contradictions between this proposed tree ordi-
nance and the zone code requirements. He then suggested that they should be revised to
set the same standards and requirements.
Commissioner Frost asked if there is any way to revise the clearance height in this
year's tree trimming contract, rather than having the trees all trimmed at 16 feet.
The City Manager indicated that the Director of Public Service would be requested
to work with the contractor on that issue.
Commissioner Swanson stated an interest in establishing the clearance heights at 10
feet above sidewalks, 12 feet above standard streets and 16 feet above arterials.
Director of Public Service Forbes cautioned that a lower clearance could be a prob-
lem during street maintenance activities.
Commissioner Frost stated an interest in having a licensing procedure for tree
trimmers in place prior to next year's season.
The Mayor requested that this item be brought back for further discussion after
the appropriate revisions have been made.
Decision - request from Library Board of Trustees - budget amendment for Fiscal Year
1990 -91
The City Manager noted that a memo from Mrs. Karen Vinton, Chairman of the Li-
brary Board of Trustees, dated .Dune 27, 1991, was included in the Commissioners' pack-
ets.
Mrs. Edna Berg, member of the Library Board of Trustees, noted that the Board
has forwarded its request for a budget amendment to fund a raise for the Library Direc-
tor; and that has been well presented by the Chairman. She noted that the Board has
made the decision to seek this additional increase, based on Mr. Cottrell's outstanding per-
formance, longevity, comparisons to other salaries in Montana, and data from the regional
salary surveys. She noted that statistics reveal that his salary is below the norm for a
director with his years of experience and character.
Mrs. Berg emphasized that the Bozeman Public Library is not an average library for
its size; and it is extremely well operated. She noted that she has been a member of the
American Library Association and the Montana Library Association for over thirty years.
She also noted that she taught library science; and the Bozeman Public Library is a text-
book example of excellence in a small public library. She noted that circulation is expand-
ing rapidly, the number of users is increasing rapidly, the facility is heavily used by
children, and the reference services are heavily used.

authority to grant the requested salary increase, within budget.
Mrs. Karen Vinton stated that she pointed out in her memo that the Library will be
under budget on operations, noting that could be the funding source for this requested
salary increase. She noted, however, that the Board cannot expend those monies without
Commission transfer from operations to salaries; and that is the request before the Com-
mission at this time. She then stated that this request has not been forwarded until the
Board was sure that there would be adequate monies within the overall budget unit to cov-
er the additional salary costs of this requested raise.
City Manager Wysocki stated consensus with Mrs. Vinton's comments, noting that
the Commission must authorize the transfer of monies if the requested salary increase is to
be granted by the Board. He reminded the Commission that they establish the total
amounts budgeted for salaries, operations and capital for each budget unit; and those may
not be exceeded without Commission approval.
Commissioner Goehrung asked how many other departments will have excesses in op-
erations, which they may request to have transferred to salaries. He then expressed con-
cern that such requests may become prevalent if this request is approved, noting that sal-
aries are carefully set at the beginning of each fiscal year. He further noted that this
would represent the second increase since the salaries were originally set for the fiscal
year.
Responding to Mayor Hawks, the City Manager stated that the excess revenues re-
ceived will be rolled into the General Fund as of June 30, since no monies remain in any
budget unit at fiscal year end.
Mayor Hawks stated an interest in holding the request for a $2,000 increase until
consideration of the Fiscal Year 1992 budget, with an effective date of July 1 for that in-
crease.
Mrs. Karen Vinton stated that the Board will be asking for another salary increase
in the Fiscal Year 1992 budget, in addition to the $2,000 increase they requested in the
Fiscal Year 1991 budget. Responding to the Mayor, she indicated that request will be for-
warded with the other budgetary requests for the fiscal year.
Mrs. Darla Joyner, Executive Director of the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce,
cautioned the Commission that the public perception created by approval of this request
could be negative. She noted that new revenues are being raised by increased County
taxes for libraries; and the Bozeman Public Library will realize some of those revenues.
She then stated that the perception that government feels it must spend all it has budget-
ed for the fiscal year is one which has existed for years; and approval of this request
would only appear to confirm that opinion.
Mayor Hawks noted this request will be reviewed as a part of the upcoming fiscal

5. He noted that is physically impossible, since the issue cannot be reconsidered without
a re- hearing on the application; and that cannot be accomplished without a resubmittal of
the application. He stated, therefore, the next step must be taken by the applicant, ei-
ther to file this into District Court or to resubmit the application.
Mayor Hawks noted the issue being challenged is performance zoning versus static
zoning. He stated that performance zoning is a well -- established concept throughout the
country, although it is not so common in this area. He stated that under this new con-
cept, the question to be answered is whether performance can be required for development
of a parcel.
Commissioner Swanson noted that Mr. Connell suggests that new evidence was con-
sidered during the decision - making process. He noted that the Commission went through a
rather detailed review of the findings of fact drafted by the City Attorney as a result of
the public hearing, making several revisions prior to adoption of those findings and mak-
ing a decision on the application.
City Attorney Becker stated that those issues have no relevance in a declaratory
judgment action; and that action is to determine what the law is.
It was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Knapp, that the
Commission acknowledge receipt of the letter from R. Walter Connell dated June 26, 1991.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commission-
er Swanson, Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Frost and Mayor
Hawks; those voting No, none.
The City Attorney was then instructed to forward to Mr. Connell the Commission's
action on his letter.
Discussion - FYI Items
The City Manager presented to the Commission the following "For Your Information"
items.
(1) Invitation to attend the Pitchfork Barbecue being sponsored by the Chamber
of Commerce on July 3 at Gallatin Field.
(2) Copy of an article entitled "Reason Foundation recommends weight -based gar-
bage collection," which was published in the June 24, 1991 edition of the County News as
forwarded by the Gallatin County Commissioners.
(3) Petition signed by 26 of the residents along Secor Avenue requesting that
sidewalks not be installed along their street.
Responding to Commissioner Swanson, the City Manager noted that this sidewalk is
included in the proposed 1992 sidewalk program. He then suggested it is appropriate to
consider this petition at the time that program is discussed; and he will so notify the lead-

concern that over the past four or five years, people have purchased the older homes and
converted them from the existing multi- family units into the original single - family struc-
tures, thus decreasing the amount of available affordable housing in the community.
Mayor Hawks closed the public hearing.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Planning Director Fpple stated the application
before the Commission is for a hostel; and assurances have been made that overnight
guests will be out of the facility by 10 :00 a.m. He noted that any conversion of this use
to a rental unit will require another review.
Assistant Planner Aber stated that the proposed set -up, which includes multiple
bunk beds in a large room, is not conducive to a rental type situation. He indicated that
some cooking facilities are to be provided for guests who wish to use them; however, no
meals are to be provided. He then stated the national organization has strict guidelines to
which the applicant must adhere. He further noted that if any problems are incurred or
complaints filed about this facility, the conditional use permit would be jeopardized. He
suggested that with the affiliation which this hostel has, there seems to be no room for the
type of abuse which has been suggested during this public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Frost, that the
Commission waive the customary one -week waiting period for land use decisions. The mo-
tion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Goehrung, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Knapp and Mayor
Hawks; those voting No, none.
Responding to Commissioner Goehrung, the Assistant Planner suggested that the
Commission approve the revision in Condition No. 9 to provide for vegetative screening,
planted and maintained by the applicant, rather than a wood fence.
It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the
Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by James Marshall, under Appli-
cation No. Z -9147, to allow a lodging house /hostel on Tract 5, Block 1, Rouse's Third Ad-
dition, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the applicant provide the required number of off- street parking
spaces through any combination of 1) on -site spaces, 2) leased pri-
vate spaces, or 3) as provided under 18,50.120.b(3k) of the City
Code regarding exceptions;
2. That the parking access will comply with Section 18.50.110 which re-
quires a one -way drive access for commercial sites to have a 16 -foot-
wide access drive. (The Design Review Board has recommended a
deviation from this requirement to the City Commission);
3. That parking in the side yard and off the alley be arranged to be
free of all obstructions to access the designated parking spaces. The
power pole may have to be moved if the parking area cannot be ad-
justed to avoid the pole and support cable (i.e. power pole and sup-
port cable in rear, bike rack in side yard);
4. That parking lot surfacing and curbing comply with Section 18.50.120

unit of an existing four-unit apartment building - Lot 5, Block 9, Thompson's Fo__u_rt_h__Kd_-
clition (1813B South Rouse Avenue)
This was the time and place sot for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Per-
mit 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 Thvm»son/s Fourth Addition, The subject
property is more commonly known as 1813B South Rouse Avenue.
Mayor Hawks opened the public hearing.
Assistant Planner DebbieArkeU presented the staff report. She stated that this
application is to allow a private school for u maximum of twenty students ages four
through six with the possible addition of seven- and eight-year-olds. She noted that the
curriculum would be structured; and the school would operate on basically the same sched-
ule as the public schools. The subject apartment is a 972-square-foot ground-level apart-
ment in an existing four-p|ex structure, with the only basic structural change being the
addition of a second exit as recommended by the Fire and Building Divisions. Mrs.
Thorp, who will be one of the teachers, will live in the one of the remaining units with
the other two unity being rented out.
The Assistant Planner stated that the City-County Planning Board conducted its
public hearing on this application at its June 18 mecting. She stated that at that me,dng,
the Board considered deleting Condition No. l which requires immediate in, of a
sidewalk; and amending Condition No. * to allow continued use of garbage cans unless
more garbage is generated. The Planner noted that both motions to amend the conditions
'
failed due to the requirement for six affirmative votes. She further noted that this appli-
cation is being forwarded to the Commission with no formal recommendation from the Board
because of failure to meet the requirement of six affirmative votes for passage of the mo-
tion to recommend approval.
Planner Arko{| stated that, after [urdhar review of the site, staff has recommended
that the Commission allow the existing use of garbage cans to continue, with the amount of
garbage generated to be monitored- She stated that if the amount of garbage increases,
staff requests the ability to require the installation of a dumpster with enclosure, recog-
nizing that it will be in the front yard because there are no alleys in this area.
The Assistant Planner then reviewed the staff report highlighting the staff find-
ings for each of the six criteria used for consideration of conditional use permit applica-
tions, since there is no formal recommendation from the Planning Board. She noted that
the application gommre||y complies with those crit*ria, She noted, however, that several
concerns were raised/ and conditions have been recommended to address those concerns.
She then reviewed each of the conditions recommended for approval of the application.
Assistant Planner Arku|| noted that staff has received several letters pertaining to

along South Rouse Avenue. He stated, however, that the applicant would prefer not to
install a dumpster and attendant enclosure in the front yard. He noted that, since re-
viewing the fact that there is no alley along the rear of this property, City staff h,as con-
curred that it may not be necessary to require a dumpster at this time. He noted that a
children's school serving only one meal a day should not generate any more garbage than a
family of four living in that apartment. Mr. Hanson then encouraged Commission approval
of this application.
Mr. Bob June, owner of 1817 -1823 South Rouse Avenue, stated his apartment is ad-
jacent to and faces the Thorp's apartment. He stated that he is concerned about safety,
noise and the environment. He then expanded on each of those three points, noting that
South Rouse Avenue is only 30 feet wide, with parking allowed on both sides. He ex-
pressed concern that the narrowness of the street, along with added traffic, could create
an even greater safety hazard than presently exists. He then noted that at the present
time, there is a noise problem in that area with all of the existing apartments; and it will
only be magnified by adding children playing in the yard during the daytime. He then
stated that there is only 20 feet between his sidewalk and the Thorps' sidewalk; and he
feels that this proposal would create a detrimental impact on that space. He also noted
that to erect a fence will disturb the openness which currently exists.
Mr. June then encouraged the Commission to deny this application. He noted that
during the Planning Board meeting, one member of the Board suggested that this area is
too small for a school.
Mr. Dick Pohl, 422 South 6th Avenue, stated he owns property at 1802 South Rouse
Avenue. He then spoke in support of this application, stating he feels it is an appro-
priate use for this property. He also stated he expects the school to be a strong asset
for the community.
Mr. Kal Schweitzer, 504 Fieldstone, stated he owns property at 1905 South Rouse
Avenue. He stated that he lived in this subject neighborhood for twelve years; and he
feels the proposed use is appropriate. He noted that his children traveled to and from
school on the bus, and had no problem with the traffic in the area. He stated that the
Thorp property is some of the best kept property in the area; and he feels that the school
would be well maintained and operated. He then encouraged Commission approval of this
application.
Mr. Godfrey Saunders, 1913 South Rouse Avenue, stated support for the proposed
school, noting he feels it will provide an environment in which the special needs of a child
can be accommodated before entering the public school system. He stated that he has
been involved in education for fifteen years and recognizes that the Bozeman school system
is superb; however, he noted that it cannot address all of the individual problems incurs-

prefer to have the stair* from this apartment leading directly into the fenced yard' rather
than the proposed configuration.

tain four-p|exes and 10 contain over four dwc||/mg units. He noted, therefore, that
under the proposed rezoning, 287 parcels, or 91.7 percent, would be conforming uyoy- He
further noted that those lu lots containing more than four dwelling units representing 3,2
percent of the anuu are non-conforming under the present zoning designation of R-3.
Planner Wu|| stated that Planning staff has reviewed this application in light of the
twelve criteria set forth for such review and pound this application to be in general com-
pliance. He further noted that at its meeting of June 25 the City-County Planning
Board, following its public heariug, forwarded a recommendation for app,ova|.
Mr' Bill K|cnn. 520 East Davis Street, stated he feels that four-p|axey have a place
in the community; however, they belong in a high-density residential area such as the
South 16th Avenue/West Koch Street/West Olive Street area. He noted that in the newer
high-density residential areas, the lots are large enough to provide adequate off-street
parking and all development is generally similar in nature. He stated that to construct a
four-p|*x between two existing single-family structures in an older part of town however,
duos cause a substantial amount of negative impact'
Mr. K|ann noted there are a substantial number of unpaved streets in the northeast
sector of the community; and additional traffic would create dramatic negative impacts on
the area. He further expressed concern about the danger that could be encountered, par-
ticularly because of the number of children in the area. He stated that some people are
fixing up their homes; and others would like tu, but would first like assurance that a
four-p|ex or similar structure could not be constructed next to them,
Mu. Theresa Leland, szo North Bozeman Avenue, stated she is speaking for herself
as well as several neighbors who were unable to he present at this meeting. She noted
that homes on the north side provide entry level housing for young people starting fam-
ilies. She also noted that the neighborhood contains many elderly citizens who have lived
there for thirty or forty years.
Ms' Leland then stated support for this proposed razvnimg, noting it will help to
ensure their quality of life. She noted that four-piexes have o negative impact on this
typo of neighborhood, which is primarily single-family; and those who uv construct
four-p|excs generally don't live in the immediate area. She stated she does not believe
that one individual s»uu|u receive an economic advantage from intense development of a lot
to the economic disadvantage of the residents around that lot. She then encouraged Com-
mission approval of this application.
Mr. Tom vand*rvmo stated he purchased the property at ms North Ida Avenue sev-
eral years ago with the intent of constructing four-p|exrs; and he has spent the past year
having the property surveyed and plans prepared. He noted that the parcel which he
owns is large, containing five lots; therefore, it would be extremely d/M0cn|t and not

criteria set forth for such review, and determined it to be in general compliance. She
then stated that, following its public hearing held on June 25 the City-County Planning
Board recommended approval of this application.
No one was present to speak in support of or in opposition to this proposed zone
map change.
(3) Zone map change from R-4 to R-38 for a portion of the north portion of the
Cooper Park Historic Distriot, Application No. Z-8768.
Assistant Planner Jesse Aber presented the staff report. He stated that the sub-
ject rezoning is from R-4, Residential--high-density, to R-3A, Residential --two-fami|y me-
mum-density for a portion of the north portion of the Cooper Park Historic District. He
noted that under this app|ication, a portion of the existing R-4 a:rea generally bounded by
the alley between West Babcock Street and West Main Street on the north and mid-Nock
between West Olive Street and West Curtiss Street on the south and South 4th Avenue on
the east and mid-block between South 7th Avenue and South nth Avenue on the west,
would be rezoned to R-38. The Planner stated this application was initiated by the City
Commission as a result of concerns raised in the May 13 1991 memo from the Historic
Preservation Officer.
The Planner stated that the existing R-4 zoning could adversely affect the southern
portion of this subject area, noting the single-family development history of that area. He
them stated that staff reviewed this application in light of the twelve criteria set forth in
the code and determined that it is generally in cvmp|iance. He noted that a survey of the
area revealed that of the 54 parcels involved, all are in compliance with R-4 zoning regu-
lations; and 15 would be non-conforming under the proposed R-3A. He stated that a re-
view of the area further revealed that so percent of those structures along West Babcock
Street would become non-conforming under this zone change.
Planner Auer stated that following further rovxvw, staff noted that west Babcock
Street is an arterial, and the adjacent zone to the north is B-2. He stated therefore,
staff mmw|d recommend that the properties along West Babcock Street remain in R-4 zoning,
with the remainder of the proposed district being rezoned to R-3A. The Planner stated
that at their June zs public hearing, the City-County Planning Board heard this applica-
tion and concurred in the staff recommendation,
Commissioner Frost noted that yo percent of the homes along West Babcock Street
would comply with the R-» zoning district regulations, questioning why staff did not rec-
ommend that as a possible zone change.
Planner Aber responded that' ww/o most of the current development along West
Babcock Street does comply with the R-3 zoning rvgu|ativns, he feels it is important that
the option for vYhcos which is allowed in the R-4 zone remain. He reiterated the fact

petition from more than 200 people in the area. She further noted that the Planning Board
has unanimously recommended approval, and encouraged Commission approval of the re-
quested rezoning.
Mr. Fred Nelson, 213 Lindley Place, stated the petition speaks for itself, noting it
represents overwhelming support from the residents of the area. He then encouraged
Commission support.
Mr. James Anderson, 212 Lindley Place, stated his support and encouraged Commis-
sion support.
Mr. Matt Lavin, 311 South Tracy Avenue, stated support for the proposed
downzoning.
Mrs. Dora Anderson, 212 Lindley Place, encouraged Commission approval. She not-
ed the subject area includes historic districts; and she feels it is important to preserve
those historic structures. She noted it is a beautiful neighborhood, and feels it should be
protected and maintained.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the proposed zone map change.
(6) Zone map change from A -S to R -S on a 60 -acre tract south of Patterson
Road, Application No. Z -9171.
Assistant Planner Debbie Arkell presented the staff report. She stated that the
subject rezoning is from A -S, Agriculture Suburban, to R -S, Residential -- Suburban Coun-
try Estates, on a 60 -acre tract commonly known as Tract E of Certificate of Survey No.
1137 -A, located in the northwest one - quarter of Section 35, Township 2 South, Range 5
East, Montana Principal Meridian. The subject property is more commonly located south of
Patterson Road, along the west side of South 19th Avenue. She noted that this site is
within the City's three -mile jurisdictional area.
Planner Arkell stated that the owner of this subject site forwarded a request in
March 1991 for this rezoning from A -S to R -S, since the 60 -plus acres which he owns im-
mediately to the west is already zoned R--S under the interim zoning ordinance. The Plan-
ner then gave a brief history of this site, noting that in 1983, the entire north half was
zoned R-1, in anticipation of a proposed golf course development. She stated that since
an urban zoning designation is not appropriate for this site, the property was designated
as rural residential under the 1990 master plan in light of surrounding development.
Assistant Planner Arkell stated that staff has reviewed this application in light of
the twelve criteria set forth for such review and determined it to be in general compliance.
She then stated that, following its public hearing on June 25, the City - County Planning
Board concurred in the staff's recommendation for approval of the requested zone map
change.
No one was present to speak in support of or in opposition to the requested zone

Mr. Al Stiff, 204 South Third Avenue, voiced his opposition to the proposed zone
map change. He stated that his home, which he has owned for twenty -six years, is on an
historic residence, surrounded by rental properties and Emerson School. He then noted
that he has recently purchased the house immediately to the south of his, thus recombin-
ing properties that were split over 100 years ago. He stated that a number of old homes
are located in that immediate area; and the costs of maintaining those old, large homes is
extremely high. He requested that the current zoning be retained, noting that it allows
them to be converted to multi - family structures or possibly into office uses so that ade-
quate funds are available to make necessary repairs and improvements.
Mr. Stiff suggested that a future alternative might be to consider the Historic
Mixed Use zoning; however, he noted that this is a new designation and no regulations
have been developed to date. He then noted that, with possible conversion of the Emerson
School to a different use, he feels it is important that those houses across the street be
provided the option of converting to offices if that is determined appropriate.
Ms. C. Jakubek, owner of 214 and 218 South Willson Avenue, stated those prop-
erties are located along the east side of South Willson Avenue. She then stated that, giv-
en the development which has occurred around these properties, which is commercial and
multi - family, she does not feel the proposed R -3A zoning its appropriate. She stated that
at the present time, some individuals are interested in acquiring one of the properties for
business purposes. She then stated she does not believe these subject properties can ap-
propriately be utilized as single - family residences given the surrounding uses; therefore,
she requested that the R -4 zoning designation remain.
Ms. Marie Gambill, 512 North Bozeman Avenue, asked several questions about a va-
cant lot she owns next to her home. She questioned what the difference would be between
constructing two duplexes or one four -plex on a vacant lot, since the impacts would be the
same.
Planning Director Epple responded that it is possible to develop a higher density
residential project in the R -3A zoning designation by going through the planned unit de-
velopment process, provided the subject property meets the criteria set forth in the zone
code. He noted that setbacks and meeting off - street parking requirements can limit the
amount of development possible on property in single ownership. He stated that under
this process, steps must be taken to mitigate any negative impacts which might result from
the additional density of development.
Commissioner Frost stated he has received telephone calls of support for this
proposed rezoning from R -4 to R -3A from Jesse Close, 311 South Third Avenue, and Ron
Hess, 309 South Third Avenue.

in February 1990, staff has processed approximately 150 development project applications.
He noted that under these new documents, several procedures have been added or re-
vised; and that has, indeed, created some rough spots for applicants and staff alike. He
also stated that, as a result of working under the interim ordinance, several revisions
have been proposed to make the system better.
Planning Director Epple then highlighted the main changes between the interim zon-
ing ordinance and the final zone code draft dated May 31, 1991, as set forth in his memo
dated June 6. Those highlighted changes included revisions to some of the definitions;
changes in the proposed historic mixed use district regulations; changes to the entryway
overlay district regulations, making them consistent with those for the neighborhood con-
servation district regulations; and changes to the Design Review Board and its authority,
making it advisory when a project goes to boards with higher authority and making its de-
cisions final when that is the final step in the process. The Planning Director stated that
major revisions have also been made to the standards and procedures chapters, including a
listing of the species of trees which will be allowed and requiring maintenance of landscap-
ing required under the code. He noted that the new draft contains a provision for con-
version of one non - conforming use to another, subject to specific criteria, similar to the
provisions of the old code. He further noted that the plan review and approval section
has been substantially changed, adding the provision for a sketch plan review for minor
projects. He noted that the Planned Unit Development chapter has also been generally re-
vised, replacing the point system with specific review criteria and an evaluation form
which can be easily followed. He then stated that the sign regulations have been substan-
tially revised, noting that Ralph Johnson will submit a report on those revisions.
Mr. Ralph Johnson, former President of the City- County Planning Board and former
President of the Zoning Commission, gave a presentation on the sign portion of the pro-
posed zone code document, including a brief slide show. He gave a brief history of the
sign code, noting that three years ago, the Mayor appointed an ad hoc sign committee to
develop a new code. He stated that committee, which reported to the Zoning Commission,
prepared a draft which was approximately 95 percent complete when it was reviewed to de-
termine if the document was legally defensible. He stated that approximately one and one -
half years ago, the consultant made recommendations for a modified sign code which ad-
dressed several different local issues. He noted that ordinance contained a sliding height
and area scale, along with exceptions which could be obtained through design excellence.
Mr. Johnson stated that the sign code before the Commission as a part of the final
zone code has been substantially revised, highlighting the three significant changes, as
follows: (1) the format has been changed from prose to tables; (2) regulations for bill-
boards; and (3) the amortization schedule.

just compensation as of this date; however, if the City wants to eliminate billboard signs
and if it does not want to negotiate a settlement, the option would be to test it in the
Court system.
Mr. Ralph Johnson then addressed the third of the issues which he had enumerated
earlier, the amortization schedule. He stated that this schedule is based on the dollar val-
ue of the sign, with the more costly signs being amortized over a longer period of time, to
a maximum of eight years. He stated that this type of schedule creates two problems, one
being that the value of the sign must be proven and documented and it is inconvenient to
the business community. He stated that it is a universally accepted method, setting forth
a realistic schedule for replacement of non - conforming signs.
Mr. Johnson stated that an alternative to this method is to establish one date by
which all signs must be brought into compliance, noting that was the option selected in
Missoula. He stated that the disadvantages to this method include the potential for delays
and the fact that everyone seems to wait until the last minute, creating a massive change
all at once.
Planning Director Andy Epple finished the staff report portion of this item. He
stated that by the time this issue reached the City - County Planning Board meeting of June
25, a quorum was no longer present; therefore, no formal recommendation has been for-
warded. He then reviewed additional recommended revi'sions to several sections of the
code, including several changes regarding sign deviations in the entryway corridors,
elimination of all deviations in the entryway corridors except for access provisions, and
administrative changes involving the Development Review Committee and the Design Review
Board.
Mr. Mike Cok, attorney representing Myhre Signs, stated he has submitted a
lengthy written statement to the City- County Planning Board and the City Commission. He
emphasized the fact that the current draft eliminates billboard signs. He then stated it is
difficult to substantially adjust the size of billboard signs, since the advertising produced
by industry is in a standard size.
Mr. Cok stated that billboards are also governed by a federal act; and under that
act, just compensation must be made if a sign is ordered removed. He stated that under
that provision and the zone code as currently drafted, the City would be required to pay
Myhre Signs approximately $500,000 for its billboard signs within the City's jurisdictional
area. He stated that the billboard signs can be locally regulated, within reason; however,
he reiterated that they cannot be taken away without just compensation.
Mr. Cok noted that the development of this sign ordinance has been frustrating for
both the Myhre Signs and the City. He then stated that if the Commission adopts this
code as written, then Myhre will be required to move forward with the compensation issue.

Mr. Gunnar Frievalds stated he has been a businessman in Bozeman for fifteen
years; and he supports the proposed sign ordinance. He noted that under this ordinance,
some short -term sacrifice would be made for what he feels will be long -term benefits. He
noted that many communities with controlled signage have realized better property values
and better business districts. He then encouraged Commission approval of this proposed
ordinance.
Ms. Amelia Cain, co -owner of the Bagel Works, stated support for the proposed
sign ordinance. She then noted that the building in which her business is located has a
very narrow frontage to Main Street, therefore, a sign based on front footage would be
very small. She further noted that her new business is surrounded by businesses with
extremely large signs, which do not comply with the provisions of this code; however, her
business is required to do so. She then suggested that some flexibility be included in the
code for unique situations in the overlay district.
Mr. Roger Koopman, 811 South Tracy Avenue, spent his initial three minutes railing
about the three- minute limit, the manner which this meeting was structured, and govern-
ment in general.
Mr. Rick Ogle, 210 East Lincoln Street, stated that at the present time, he is going
through the conditional use process with two separate applications, one for the ready mix
plant on North Rouse Avenue and one for expansion of the lumber yard on East Mendenhall
Street. He gave a brief history on his family's ownership of those parcels and the pro-
cesses which they have been required to follow. He then stated that he feels the process-
es through which they are now required to go are unfair and inhibit their ability to plan
for improvements.
Mr. Bob Hunter, 320 South Willson Avenue, stated support for the proposed sign
ordinance. He noted that costs will be involved in bringing signs into compliance with the
new code, indicating a commitment to patronize those businesses whose signs comply in an
effort to assist in defraying those costs. He also stated support for compensating the
owners of the billboard signs, if that is necessary to have them removed.
Mr. .lames Anderson, 212 Lindley Place, stated he is in favor of the proposal before
the Commission. He then noted the Commissioners are to represent not only the business
people, but all of the residents in Bozeman. He stated a willingness to pay additional tax-
es, if necessary, to implement the proposed sign code. He noted that it has been sug-
gested that tourists need signs to find their way around; however, he does not believe
that is essential. He then encouraged the Commission to adopt the new sign code as
proposed.
Mr. Mike Burgard, Business Manager of Color World, stated he has appeared before
the Commission on two previous occasions, once for a tax incentive program application and

lems. He stated that most people are aware of the ugliness along North 7th Avenue and
West Main Street; and he appreciates the City's willingness to address the issue. He then
suggested that the business community which opposes the sign ordinance should recognize
that implementation of this ordinance would put them on a level playing field, with every-
one having generally the same size and height signs. He then encouraged adoption of this
proposed zone code.
Mr. Dan Kamp, 116 Gallatin Drive, stated he recognizes the concerns which Mr. Ed
Brandt raised earlier in the meeting. He noted that the new document is based on a se-
ries of public input meetings involving different factions of the community; and he feels
that it is generally headed in the right direction. He then stated appreciation for the re-
visions which staff has proposed, noting that working with a document on a daily basis
can reveal its shortcomings. He noted that he has a list of fifteen concerns that still need
to be addressed in the final document, including items such as building permit require-
ments, plan review and approval processes, planned unit development review processes,
the amendment process, and sketch plan reviews. He suggested that the document and
the processes should be more "user friendly."
Ms. Mary Vant Hull, 416 East Story Street, stated she has great respect for those
who have encouraged the Commission to slow down on this process; however, she noted
that many workshops have been held on this document. She stated it is time to move
ahead with the document, making revisions as necessary after the document has been final-
ized. She stated that, contrary to what many downtown businessmen think, she feels that
the type of controls which would be implemented under this ordinance would make the com-
munity and businesses more successful. She then submitted a petition of support for the
proposed zone ordinance, containing almost 500 signatures to the Commission. She then
encouraged Commission adoption of this zone code document.
Mr. Bob Davies, 1104 North Pinecrest, stated general opposition to government, and
the zone code in particular. He then encouraged the Commission to not adopt the docu-
ment.
Mrs. Darla Joyner, Executive Director of the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce,
noted that change is difficult. She then encouraged the Commission to slow the process,
taking time to digest public comment before moving ahead. She noted that streamlining of
the code and including flexibility are good; however, she suggested that the pieces that
don't work should be tossed out before the document is finally adopted,
Mrs. Joyner expressed concern that under this proposed code, every project above
a duplex would require some type of review, questioning whether there is adequate staff
time to accommodate such reviews. She then suggested that the sign portion of the code
should be carefully reviewed and revised prior to adoption. She also encouraged the Com-

zoning is ruining the valley. He then stated that residents in the valley want to do
things right; however, this proposed document is not the way to do it.
Mrs. Dm|ono Evans 1524 South Rouse Avenue, stated support for Mr. Emerson's
comments.
Mr. Dan Gates, *%s East Lincoln Street, stated he has lived in Bozeman for over 40
years and been in the construction business for 25 years. He stated that it is becoming
increasingly difficult to get projects through the various review processes/ and he is con-
cerned that under this code it will become almost impossible.
Mr, Darrel Bnhrent, 208 Lindley P/ace, observed that there are polarized factions to
this proposed document which creates problems. He noted that people must work together
to make a community attractive and viable. He then suggested that this proposed ouda is
too restrictive in many ways. He noted the community must remain dynamic, being one in
which very-low-income to high-income people can live and work.
Kdr, Kip &upinoa 8484 Hu[fine Lane noted it is getting very late and requested
that this hearing by continued until 7,00 p.m. next Monday night. He stated the new
document can be revised after its adoption to address problems. He noted, however, that
the document and its contents are confusing and should be simplified so that individuals
can understand it-
Mr. Jim Penne{|, Myhre Signs, completed his presentation, which he had begun ear-
lier in this public hearing. He stated that, after spending $10,000 in |agw| fees, he is
finally able to approach someone in authority about this matter. He noted that removing of
billboard signs will take away signage for forty to OhLy businesses; and that will have
economic implications. He stated their company provides outdoor advertioing, which is an
essential medium in the Bozeman area. He stated a willingness to meet with City represen-
tatives and attempt to reach an amicable resolution to the provisions of this proposed ordi-
nance, He further noted a willingness to be appropriately regulated; however, he indi-
cated he cannot support the proposed elimination of billboard signs.
Mr. Tom VanderVon reiterated his concern that the proposed zone map change for
the northeast sector will result in several vacant |oza remaining undeveloped because it is
not economically feasible to develop them as low-density residential.
Mr. Chuck Paden reminded the Commission that conditional use permits are fre-
quently equivalent to spot zone changrs. He expressed concern that residents do not
have protest rights to conditional use permits |ihr they do for zone map changes; and he
feels that the residents should be protected. He then stated he does not fee[ that one
non-conforming use should be allowed to convert to another equally appropriate non-
conforming use noting that if change in the use is a/|owcd, it should be to a more appro-
priate non-conforming use. He also suggested a revision in the criteria for evaluation of
