BACKGROUND: On July 9, 2012 the Department of Planning received an Administrative Project
Decision Appeal application requesting Commission review of the Planning Director's approval of
Brown/ Charles garage Sketch Plan Certificate of Appropriateness application (No. Z-12108) The
COA was applied for on May 18, 2012 and approved on June 25, 2012. The appeal application was
filed within the timeline outlined by Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) Section 38.35.030 C
"Administrative project decision appeals."
Staff followed the procedure in BMC Section 38.35.030 F and scheduled the appeal on the
Commission agenda at the earliest possible date, with a maximum of 30 working days, to Monday,
August 13, 2012. Public notices, in the form of a notice on site, a letter mailed to adjoining property
owners and two advertisements in the newspaper, were executed per BMC Section 38.35.030 E
requirements, stating the August 13 date.
On Monday, July 30 the appeal applicant, Jeffery Jarvi, requested that the commission hearing be
rescheduled to enable him to attend the hearing. Given the "30 working days" for an appeal hearing
dictated by BMC 38.35.030 F, which offers the property owner some surety of a timely process, the
absolute latest date the Commission could hear the appeal is Monday, August 20, 2012.
