Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Doug Riley, Associate Planner
Tim McHarg, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Christenot Annexation #A-11001 – Extension Request
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2012
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: The City Commission grant the applicant’s request of an extension for
the execution of the Christenot Annexation Agreement for an additional 6 months or to coincide
with the required execution date of the pending adjacent Leep Annexation.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Approval of the applicant’s request of an extension for the execution of the Christenot Annexation Agreement for an additional 6 months or to coincide with the required execution date of the pending adjacent Leep Annexation.
BACKGROUND: The Christenot Annexation was approved by the City Commission on
November 28th, 2011. The conditions of approval required “that the applicant executes all contingencies and terms of said Annexation Agreement with the City of Bozeman within six (6) months of the City Commission action to annex the property, or annexation approval shall be null and void.” The six month expiration date is May 28th, 2012. Subsequent to the Christenot
Annexation, the same representatives on the Christenot Annexation have worked with the
adjacent property owner to the west and have submitted an annexation application for that
property that is currently proceeding through the review process and will be on the City Commission’s May 21, 2012 agenda. As part of that application, the applicants will also be
asking for a six (6) month duration to complete those terms of annexation. Therefore, attached is
the representative’s request for an extension of the Christenot Annexation expiration date in
order to coordinate the annexation of the two projects.
Staff is fully supportive of this request as the two properties are logically tied together for future potential development.
The City annexation policy (Policy #11) that sets the standard expiration time for annexations
reads as follows: “Annexation agreements shall be executed and returned to the City within 60
days of distribution of the annexation agreement, unless another time period is specifically identified by the City Commission” (underling added).

ALTERNATIVES: Deny the extension request in order that the expiration date to complete
the Christenot Annexation agreement remains May 28, 2012.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None
