Page 1 of 10 m MYN ,AN fl EWAIL IBUA wend fl over their monthly report, noting easements needed in project area. Three easements needed - at the Paw, furniture store and Confluence building. They would like these easements in place by December meeting. Keri said board should hold off on talking to property owners as she's just getting power and finance numbers on the actual lighting expense. Keri went on to say that the SILD must be considered at the December meeting. She is to meet on November 17 with legal counsel to discuss how assessments will go up, if need to abolish district and roll out new district in sections, etc. Mike said best to do entire district at one time. Discussion. Keri said will need a Memorandum of Understanding with MDT for maintenance - this point will be included in the her Nov 17 meeting with legal. Confluence Building owners are unknown and that truly are the only one that needs to be approached for easement. Chad went on to rehash the remaining sections of their monthly report. Bus Shelter Update Scott reported done. He will have final acceptance form to Keri soon. Planning Council meeting report Keri reported it went well. Jeff said the group positively responded to making North 71n a new zone. January will bring new faces to that board. Outreach event featuring lighting project Needs to be in conjunction with the SILD 60-day advertisement in the newspaper, Keri suggested. Mike said the board should go door-to-door with brochure to show costs and photos. Discussion including doing another mailing to all properties in the district. FYI Keri noted properties within 800ft of a bus shelter see a 10% reduction in their parking requirement - this should be something the board tells property owners. Adjournment Andrew adjourned the meeting at 5:45pm. Page 2 of 10 Attachment A 1 I' Moug" The Techinical Assistance grant will inform the NSURB about what improvements,the property owner is willing to consider for site iniprovernents, but until there is some change in the BMC regarding sign standards, specific to N. 7"'Avenue or otherwise, staff reminds the NSURB that they do not have authority to grant deviations and/or variances. It's possible that the only work that can be done in the short term without requiring rernoval of the non-conforming signs, would be the parking lot striping, painting, landscaping and boulevard/sidewalk construction. While staff is generally supportive of awarding a Technical Assistance Grant, staff defers to the NSURB for determining the grant amount. Per the Guiding Principles of the District Plan: The costs qf,pr ojects andprogranis shall be weighed against their bene fits to the District, RECOMMENDATION Staff supports funding of a Technical Assistance Grant but defers to the NSURB on determining the amount of the award. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY The NSURB is, hereby, delegated authority to administer the N7Rehab as set forth in this application packet and Resolutions 4289 and 4298 and may enter into agreements with Applicants necessary to accomplish the purposes of the program.

C; MMI11: 0417.063 Bate: November 3,2011 1. GENERAL PROJECT STATUS The past month focused on three main tasks;production ofthe architectural renderings,Montana. Department of Transportation(MDT)review coordination and survey work associated with easement acquisition. In addition to these items,design work remains on-going and assistance is being provided to the City of Bozeman for the Special Improvement Lighting District(SIL D)creation documents. The architectural renderings are now 90%complete:and are being presented at the NSURB meeting today. The two renderings are from different vantage points along the corridor that give a representative feel of the entire corridor. 'file lighting calculations have been submitted to MID"I'for review. MUf requested that we only submit the lighting calculations for this project,which should help to cut clown the rcview time. Survey crews have obtained the necessary field data for three(3)specific properties along the corridor that require;easements for boulevard,sidewalk and lighting improvements. These properties are known as the "Confluence Building" "Gallatin.Valley Furniture"and"Cats flaw." The city added the Cats Paw property to this project following approval from the owner to collect survey data on their property. The U- I laul property is currently undergoing site improvements at this time and we will be surveying the new improvements as soon as they are complete. Draft easement documents are being provided at today's meetings for review by the NSURL3 and the City of Bozeman. The"Gallatin Valley Furniture"and"Cats flaw"casements are shown as seven(7)feet, which allows for a five(5)to five and a half(5.5)foot boulevard,six(6)foot sidewalk,and one(1)foot behind the sidewalk. These dimensions could easily change but this is a good starting point for discussion/review. The"Confluence Building"is not quite as straight forward as the other two. A thirty (30)foot service drive,owned by the city,exists along their frontage and currently contains a parking lot with angled parking our the street side. 'There are a number of solutions to allow for a six(6)foot sidewalk, including but not limited to;shifting the entire parking lot to the west the width of the proposed sidewalk, converting angled parking to',parallel parking,elimination of the parking lot in its entirety. The attached Page 1 of 2 "Providing resources in partnership with clients to achieve their goals" Page 4 of 10 in �' �MORRISON 140 MERLE,INC, f1r bylay--O d C—1—y easement exhibits will help describe these areas and will be a valuable tool the NSURB members can use when talking with the property owner(s). Il. ITEMS FOR UPCOMING PERIOD The NSURB mcmbers shall begin the process of meeting with property owners along the corridor where easements are required. The City of Bozeman shall begin to review the draft easement documents and by next month's meeting it would be nice to have finalized easement documents ready for execution. Lighting design,MDT review coordination and SILD assistance will continue throughout the next period. Following completion ofU-Haul's improvements,we will send a survey crew out to collect the additional. topographic data. III. OTHER ITEMS We will continue to keep you informed throughout this project on a monthly basis,or more frequently as necessary.
