Decision - variances to S i 18.20.050, m so zvn and m sn 1oo Dan Kamp for
Marguerite Christensen - allow construction ot a tour-Unit residential complex on Lot 2,
Block 1, Thompson's Fourth Addition (1514 South Tracy Avenue)
This was the time and the place set for the decision on the variances to Sections
1e.20.050' Yards; 18.50.100^ Property Access Standards; and 18.50.120 Parking Require-
ments, of the interim zoning ordinance as requested by Dan Kamp for Marguerite
Christensen' to allow construction of o four-unit residential complex on Lot z Block 1 of
Tx*mpson's Fourth Addition. The subjcct location is more commonly known as 1514 South
Tracy Avenue.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that the public hearing on this ap-
plication was conducted and closed at the April l meeting; a:nd the Commission deferred
action at last week's meeting. He then submitted to the Commission a letter from Mr. Tom
Anacker, attorney representing the applicant, dated April /l requesting that this item be
placed on the agenda, along with m memo from City Attorney Becker, dated April 12 for-
warding his legal opinion on some of the issues which have been raised.
The City Manager also referred to a copy of a letter to City Firm Marshal Den
Figg|n, from Cikon Architects, which was handed out just prior to the meeting. He noted
that items of correspondence distributed at previous meetings include a letter from Mr.
Anacker dated April 6 and e memo from Manner Wall dated April 5. The City Manager
u4-15-gx
- 2 -
then noted that a five-page letter from Mr. Anacker, dated April 15 was received at 2:30
p.m. this afternoon. He then recommended that the Commission not consider the contents
of this letter, since many of the /toms are new and had not been discussed during the
public hearing on this matter, i.e. reference to a homeowners' association a!nd reference
to City snow removal service on a sub-standard street. He further recommended that the
Commission not take action on this appUcoduo but refer it back to staff since their at-
tempts to address the access problems have |ou to additional issues that must be address-
ed, and that substantially change the application as originally submitted.
The City Manager then noted that the hammerhead turn-around as proposed in-
fringes on the 35-foot stream setback requirement, even though it does provide the
desired access to the fire hydrant.
Commissioner Frost stated he cannot deal with the information which the Commission
now has. He stated it was his understanding that the applicant was going back to staff
concerning the fact that the cul-de-sac would be infringing no park vroperty- he noted
he was unclear about the Fire Marshal's report; and he is uncertain about whether the ap-
nficant has adequately addressed the garbage issue.
Responding to a question from Mayor Hawks, Assistant Planner Kevin Wall stated
that the subject stream is not in the right-of-way' but would be in the 35-fovt streumbanx
setback. He noted that staff has not received any information about the garbage being
collected through a private contractor.
Responding to Mayor Hawks, the City Manager indicated that Commission is dealing
with an application so substantially different that it should g* through a new public hear-
ing process. He noted, however, that the Commission could act on the original appJica-
tion' as reviewed during the public hearing, at this time'
Commissioner Frost noted choices include referring this application back to staff or
denying the original application. He then stated he cannot support approval of the appli-
cation at this time.
Commissioner Swanson stated he hads the Commission is being asked for a variance
to the access requirements and the front yard setbacks per the City Attorney's memo. He
noted the only question now is whether the hammerhead turn-around would require an ad-
ditional variance.
Commissioner Gpmhrmng noted the public hearing has been held; and testimony was
accepted based on the applicant's proposal. He noted that perhaps the access problem can
be addressed; however, he noted he is not convinced there are any hardships, other than
an economic one which would allow approval of a ten-font encroachment into the front
yard setback. He also expressed concern that care must be taken to ensure the integrity
of the parkland immediately across the street. He then noted that the zone code
ou-1s-y|
- 3 -
specifically states the criteria for approval of a variance; and this application does not
meet two of those criteria,
Mayor Hawks stated he foc|a there is an element of hardship provided by the City's
inability to provide street frontage for this parcel, so that the easement access in accom-
modating the limitations of that access and the desirability of moving the project over
makes sense. He noted support of the proposed encroachment into the front yard setback,
since the project would he in line with other development in that immediate area, particu-
larly since the parcel is located across the s,treet from a park. He then expressed concern
about the fact that the hammerhead turn-around and its encroachment into the streambank
setback has not been addressed. He stated that, in deference to the public's right to
participate he would view this as an inadequate application.
It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the
variances to Sections 18.20,050 Yards; 18,50.100 Property Access Standards; and
18.50.120 Parking Requirements, of the interim zoning ordinance be denied. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting xv, being Commissioner Frost,
Commissioner Swanson Commissioner Comhruog and Mayor Hawks; those voting No none.
Commissioner Knapp abstained for the reasons noted at last week's meeting.
Presentation from Sweet Pea 1 91 committee re grant challenge to communi
The City Manager stated that Mr. Keith Swenson had requested this item be placed
on the agenda.
Mr. Ken Bova President of Sweet Pea 1 91 Board, noted that the Sweet Pea festiv-
ities have grown over the past few yrars- we then noted that a portion of what is con-
sidered Lindley Pork is not actually a part of the park' but is actually a part of the old
railroad right-of-way and is being leased by the City. The Grants and Special Projects
Committee of the Sweet Pea Board would like to see at least that portion of Lindley Park
acquired by the City from the CMC Heartland Partners and annexed to the park. He
stated that to that end the Committee has proposed a challenge grant be sent to the
community through the Commission, to begin raising funds to purchase whatever properties
are necessary to annex the CMC property to the park for the City. He stated therefore,
that $s from the lyou festival and $5 from the 1991 festival are to be set aside for
a challenge grant which is to last for a period of one year, beginning with the lyel fes-
tival in August and ending with the 7992 festival.
Mr. Bova: then presented to the Commission a poster of the check for $10 from
Sweet Pea to the City of Bozeman. He then suggested that the mock check he posted
somewhere as a reminder of this challenge grant. He suggested that this poster be a re-
minder of the sued money that has, been sot aside for mcnviyiuom of the property.

Responding to Mayor Hawks Mr. Bova stated that the Board h,|t that if the commu-
nity could raise an additional *10'000' the program would be safe. He noted that if the
$10,000 can be raised, it will show a community commitment for the program.
con-
tingent upon good summer weather and a successful festival. He stated that the Board
feels relatively safe in committing that $5,000, based on the past few years' festivals. He
then stated an additional $5,000 will be granted to the City for actual improvements to the
park, and for other activities related to parks, from their current budget.
Mayor Hawks requested that discussion on how to respond to the challenge grant be
placed on the agenda prior to determining how to proceed with the program.
Responding to the City Manager, Mr. Swenson suggested that these monies could be
used to raise monies in a variety of ways; or it could be used to |,vrraQo additional mon-
ies from other sources, such as Coal Severance Tax monies.
Responding to Mayor Hawks, Mr. Bova indicated that a couple of the Sweet Pea
Board members could serve on a short-term task force to determine how to proceed with
meeting the challenge grant.
The Commissioners then thanked Mr. Bova and Mr. Swenson for their presentation.
Ordinance No. 1324 - Salary Ordinance for Fiscal Year 1991
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission Ordinance No. 1324, as approved

time.
It was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Knapp, that the
Commission finally adopt Ordinance No. 1324 revising the salary ordinance for Fiscal Year
1990-91. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Knapp Commissioner Goehrumg Commissioner Frost
and Mayor Hawks; those voting No, none.

(16) Commissioner Goohrung indicated that the ad hoc recycling committee will he
forwarding recommendations for Commission consideration at next week', meeting.
(17) Commissioner Frost noted that he met with the sidewalk committee last week
and decided on the priority of contractors.
(ln) Commissioner Frost submitted a brief report on the transportation planning
seminar which he recently attended in San Francisco California.
He noted that traffic congestion is not new, going back to the Roman Empire. He
�L') L21
�?
noted that in 1917 the average speed was �'�i|e'sper hour; in 1936 it was 10 mph; and in
1986 it was still lo nd/em per hour. Basic facts in traffic congestion were that if you re-
ow,a congestion, use will go up; and most congestion is caused by more vehicle trips per
household. He noted that this suggests a need for behavior modification. He stated that
at the present time 90 percent of those who drive to work can park free.
The Commissioner stated that |anu use and transportation are tied together and
must be used in concert, with those policies being considered simultaneously. He also not-
ed that impact fees are needed to ensure that developers participate in the costs of trans-
portation.
Commissioner Frost then showed the Commissioners the stack of information which
he gathered at the smnioer including a study done by o firm in Kansas City for !and use
n*-n-ex
-9-
zoning laws. He then noted that the Maryland federal court determined m land use mora-
torium was legal, with transportation systems to be installed prior to growth.
The Commissioner stated the last topic was land use clustering, noting that cluster-
ing will not work unless the regulations make it extremely difficult to develop outside those
duster areas. He also noted that clustering will not help transportation problems but will
make more intensive nodes along a transportation system that may not +nrh already.
The Commissioner then stated that sidewalks and bike paths must he included in
any transportation plans. He stated one individual noted that a four-lane street is a scar
on the community and serves to divide that community. He then noted the importance of
humanizing streets and making them safer for pedestrians through use of islands, and pos-
sibly extending curbs at intersections to alleviate the potential of parking there. He noted
that mixed use development is becoming more important, with interior pedestrian and bicy-
cle transportation. He noted that at the present ti urban areas are set up without any
thought for bicycle traffic; and one must travel to reach any desired service, such as an
eating establishment.
Commissioner Frost noted that in fast growing areas, such as the area around
opzwman, transportation issues must be addressed by both the City and the County. He
noted one suggestion was that a representative from each of the governmental entities
serve on a committee to address that issue. He stated that in this area that might work
while in southern California, that suggestion would generate an unworkable size of commit-
tee.
Commissioner Frost noted that the problems discussed at this seminar were the same
as those incurred locally; they are just increased ,o that a $70 problem becomes a $7
billion problem, with many different entities involved. He stated appreciation for the fact
that those problems are being addressed at this time, rather than waiting until they be-
come major prob|*ms.
Responding to Mayor Hawks, Commissioner Frost stated it is entirety possible that
the Commission will need to consider amending its master plan once the transportation
study has been completed.
Commissioner Frost then gave information to the City Manager, which is to be for-
warded to specific staff members.
(19) Commissioner Swanson submitted the following. (1) Drew Commissioner at-
tention to the minutes of the BABAB' and the "ride to work or school day" scheduled for
Friday. He noted the City Manager has indicated that he will peddle by Commissioner
Gwansvm's house at 7:30 a.m.; and they will go to the N«|d Flour Bakery for breakfast.
He then invited any other interested Commissioners to meet them for breakfast. (z) An-
nounced that he will be out of town on Saturday, when the Clean Up Bozeman activities
o4-15-91
-10-
will be taking place. However, he will work Thursday afternoon, provided the ,now is off
the grass. (y) Talked with Tod Mathis on Friday afternoon regarding the airport; and he
was very complementary or the Airport's relationship with the City's Fire Dvparunemt, ask-
ing that information be passed along to the Fire Department. He then suggested an up-
date from Mr. Mathis on what is happening at the airport. (A) He encouraged the Com-
missioners to listen to the tape from the San Jose Environmental Affairs Office. He then
expressed o desire to have Director of Public Service Forbes and some or his engineering
staff to listen to the tape to determine if any or the program elements could he used local-
ly.
(20) Commissioner Knapp submitted the following. (1) Welcomed the Young
American Bowlers Alliance state bowling tournament on Saturday, which was the opening
day of a tournament that will run over three weekends. (z) Announced that on Thursday,
May 9 the Business and Professional Women are having a program on waste disposal. She
stated n willingness to make reservations for anyone interested in attending. (8 vic=eu
the launching of the new dime machine at the Library on Saturday afternoon . (n) Am-
nounccd that the Montana Library Association President for 1992-9�3 will be the City's
Library Director, Steve Cottrell.
(27) Mayor Hawks submitted the following. (1) Attended the Board of Health
meeting on Tuesday morning. The Board has received a letter of resignation from the
current Public Health Officer, Dr. King. They will be meeting tomorrow morning at 7:00
a.m. at the Courthouse to discuss possible reorganization of the department and how to
proceed from here. (z) Attended the Interagency B,reakfaot on Wednesday morning. (4
Presented a welcome to the N|RA CNFR luncheon on Saturday. (o) Stated that he has re-
quested a perking district discussion item on the April zn agenda, noting that other topics
of discussion will include the sidewalk program. (5) Noted that he also r000/v*d comment
about the four-wheelers on Peet's Hill, stating concurrence with Commissioner Coebrung'y
comment that something needs to be done about that problem. (s) Stated he took his fair
share of calls about snow removal this past week; and if there is a common denominator in
those complaints, it is the people's inability to reclean their driveways after being closed
by the snowplows. He then suggested that people mwuW take a delay in, snow removal if
they could be guaranteed that their driveways, and sidewalks would not be closed.
(zz) Commissioner Onehrong indicated that he will be out of town on Saturday' so
he will be unable to participate in the Clean Up Bozeman campaign.

TURE3 REGULATING THE MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR CHANCE OF OCCU-
PANCY ALTERATION OR REPAIR OF EXISTING BUILDINGS AND STRUC-
TURES AND ESTABLISHING & PENALTY FOR VIOLATION THEREOF.
Responding to the City Manager, the City Attorney stated that the City may only
adopt that portion of the uniform code which has been adopted by the State; and the State
has deleted Chapters 4 S and 7 except as referenced by Chapter n in its adoption of the
1987 Edition of the Uniform Code for Building Conservation. The City Attorney stated,
however, that Building Official Kyle Harlan has discovered a g/iche in the administrative
process used by the State of Montana. He noted that the City was ordered to adopt the
1987 Edition of the UCeC; and the International Conference or Building Officials, which
prepares the codes, has indicated that there is a 1985 Edition, a 1988 Edition and a 1e91
Edition, but no 1987 Edition. He noted that a conversation with the State revealed that
they were unaware of that problem; however, they presently do not know how to react to
the issue.
City Attorney Becker recommended because of the problem he has outlined, that
action on this ordinance be delayed until it can be corrected.
