MEETING DATE: April 9, 2007 RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 4012, authorizing supplemental funding for both the “Bustle –Back” style public transportation buses and more public transportation bus shelters. BACKGROUND: On December 5, 2005 the Commission resolved to support public transportation services in the City of Bozeman. On February 21, 2006 the Commission approved a $45,360 allocation as a local match for the purchase of two yellow buses and four shelters. On March 26, 2007, David Kack, Chairman of the Streamline/Galavan Advisory Committee and Lisa Ballard, coordinator for the Streamline bus system updated the Commission on the Streamline ridership statistics and requested $17,858.52 in additional, local match funding for the “bustle-back” style public transportation bus. Ms. Ballard requested an additional $3,360 for the construction of more public transportation bus shelters. The Commission agreed that the “bustle-back” style of public transportation bus will be a unique attraction in the City of Bozeman, important to courting the ridership of both citizens and tourists and therefore represents a sound investment in the community. Finally, the Commission agreed that public transportation bus shelters represent an important component to any public transit system. FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of Resolution 4012 would require the allocation of an additional $21, 218.52 to the previously budgeted $45,360 in FY07. This money would come from the General Fund most likely paid for with vacancy savings. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission.

Mr Sandy Dodge Chair ofthe Recreation and Parks Advisory Board clarified that one ofthe problemsisthatthereISnotamethodofparklandacquisitionotherthandedicationHecalledattentiontosomeproblemsthatwereclarifiedinthewritteninformationdIstributedtotheCommissionersThekindsofparksthattheCity 02 21 0631 5 needs do not necessanly fit into subdivislon and aren t going to be built in ubdivisions There are also problems with cash in lieu The amount of money varies from 26 000 per acre to 87 000 per acre There is no predictability for developers or subdIvision reviewers Historically the city gets about 50 cents per dollar for what they can buy through cash in lieu payments and when momes are accepted that parkland is gone forever This makes it dIfficult for the Board to support cash in lieu becau e it s not a good deal for the City When looking at developments that are high or low density cash in lieu is the obvious solution The Board is looking for an opportunity to pursue parkland and a better system for determming cash in lieu that will be fair and predictable and an amount that is fair to the City They want authoriLation to pursue attempts to acquire parkland in other ways If there were other ways to acqUIre parkland then the Board could look more closely at them Commissioner Kirchhoff responded that the current system is broken for the reasons outlined The alternatives seem to be that the City could deCIde what parkland they want price It and then seek to get that cost per acre as cash in lieu Another option is a parkland acquisition district The po ible result is that if that system is established and the CIty wants another complex and pushes the cash in lieu 600 to 700 acres could he developed without a park Mr Dodge responded that it is key that we need to buy parkland and not save up money The City is looking for infill development and greater density As we do this the need for parb increases and we need to protect the parkland Responding to questions from Commissioner Kirchhoff Mr Dodge stated that we would need to check land prices at least annually but the more often we do it the less predictable the cash in lieu system will become He further noted that they are looking for a go ahead hefore they come up with much more specific answers Commissioner Kirchhoff thinks a task force is a good idea and he 11llagmes the task force taking six months to come up with recommendations and another three months for the Commission to adopt Meanwhile staff is rewriting the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan and something is needed in the meantime Responding to a question from Commissioner Jacobson Mr Dodge noted that wIth mfill development development would be approved without getting parkland but with large high density subdivisions there would be a mixture ofdedicated parkland and cash in lieu hecause of the need to meet acreage demands Mr Dodge noted that the Board would want to see the dollar amount increased before it was accepted hy the Commission Mayor Krauss stated that the cash in lieu system is governed by statue He said one of the big issues is that we really can t huy much with the cash in lieu funds we receive or at lea t nothing really worthwhile Cash in lieu is the value ofthe raw land divided by the cost of a city park The policy to not take cash in lieu and is probably a good idea Mr Dodge noted that the Board generally discourages cash in lieu but sometimes it s a good idea Mayor Krauss noted that he wishes to explore the legal issues He also stre ed the need to work with the school district when identifying the types of lands we need and to find land around schools particularly since a recent law allows developers to dedicate land to schools The idea of a task force working with the school district has some merit and active recreation lends itself to this type of parklands soccer fields versus trail corridors or mini soccer fields As density increases the amount of parkland development becomes prohibitive creating a Catch 22 situation The Mayor noted that he would like to see more work done on most of these issues Assistant City Manager Brey turned attention to the resources to take care ofthe parks There are two types ofparks parks that require maintenance and those that don tThe City is placing some maintenance with homeowners associations One option under statute is creation ofa park maintenance district which must be placed before the electors Other issues are what the funds can be used for and the maximum assessment A final part is that the district must be operated in the same way as a SID reqUIring an annual assessment He indicated that while thIS statute has been on the books since 1999 no City has implemented a district under 02 21 0632 6 it He also reminded the Commission that the first step will be a giant step backwards because the City will need to take over maintenance for parks that have been placed under the maintenance of homeowners associations The City has been approving development with language that notes the homeowners association requirement to maintain the parks ends when a maintenance district is established by the City He further stated that the current maintenance is uneven and some parks are taken better care of than others He proposed that the City create a supplemental fund to go along with the gencral fund He believes that if we create a separatefunditwillbeObVIOUStotheelectorswhatthemoneywillbeusedforHenotedthattheyarerequestingCommissiondirectiontolookatparklanddedicationsissueswhilecashinlieuwilltakemoreeffortandthere are statutory

that he wants to see the percentage ofBozeman that is under homeowners associations and the percentage of new construction that i under homeowners assocIations He noted that if we can identify what people are paying for fees and what the impact would be for them we can come up with a prudent model that might have preclllcts or sections He also suggested perhaps we could have

this could be investigated He suggested looking at volunteers somethlllg that is not really addressed now Responding to que tions from Commissioner Becker Assistant City Manager Brey stated the City is allowed to use private services for maintenance Commissioner Rupp stated agreement in moving forward He further said that he feels it s his responsibility to inform the public about the possibilities of future taxes Mayor Krauss noted that he got elected to make the decisions on issues like these and he feels the

cooperation of the schools on how we maintain our parks He also stated that we need to see more volunteerism adopt a street adopt a trail etc Mayor Krauss noted that the last time the City worked with other groups to create a park was the regional park Assistant City Manager Brey stated that the Board can come with a recommendation on memhershipforataskforcewithitscreationgoingthroughtheusualCommissionprocess It was moved by Commissioner Jacobson seconded by Commissioner Becker that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board work with

Commission po tpone this discussion until latcr in the meeting He tressed the importance of taking action on this agenda item at this meetmg to avoid the possibility of a 2 2 tie vote which would

a project isn t acted upon within the time frame it is automatically approved He stated that staff has just requested this be postponed and he isn t sure this is in the best interests of the City He

Community Plan to be amended so easily He asked that the Commission carefully consider the zoning of the entire area statlllg that maybe a new R 20 or R lO LOning designation might be appropriate Jennifer MadglC County Planning Director stated the County prefers that this type ofdevelopment be handIed by the City She tated that from a planning perspective it make en e that the City handle the development becaufeofthe services it has available The Commission has an opportunity to consider the R S district to be flexible or the City can consider a rural type of configuration but this is the right area for annexation and development Stacey Ziegler 2531 Whitetail Road questioned whether it is it approprIate to expand into our scenic foothills She also suggested that the Commission look at the concerns about water and traffic on Story Mill Road She said that the foothills are the last places that we should be expanding into Don Jack on 1280 Story Mill Road asked the City to look at the review criteria in Section 6 1 3 noting is has specific review criteria before a growth policy amendment can be done He feels the hias has been towards the land developers and questioned why the ub area plan terminates where it docs He noted that this will set a trend and stated he does not feel infra tructure issues have been adequately addressed Brian Dingman 8645 Lookfar Way stated that the developers goal is to present the subdivision in a fashion to gain approval and their goal is to make money and requested that the Commission consider the other factors in their decision Judith Heilman stated that he is afraid that what happened in the Silicon Valley area ifhappening here the green areas are giving way to pavement She hrought up the need to have enforceable criteria for homeowners associations to operate by She also stated concern about losing the bright skies and the wildlife interaction She encouraged the City the County and the citizens to work together in the planning process Peter Rugheimer 1404 Story Mill Road noted that Churn Creek is going to be developed whether it s in the City or the County He cautioned that you will get sprawl if it develops in the County and you still see the houses but lose the control In the City the Commission has the control and they get to decide where everything is as well as connectivity In the County you will get 20 acre parcels with no trespassing signs He noted that the developers need and want Commission direction He noted that the ridgcline requirement was met after City staff told the developers that they didn t want lighting seen from town and mature vegetation will obscure the houses Jim Squyres 8652 Lookfar Way stated that density is the focus He took a look at the plot map of the Bridger Mountain Estates and noted that they are 20 acre lots and that s not the norm He noted that 2 6 acres is less density than what Churn Creek is putting together It s a high quality approach and they will be good people to work with density is something that ha to be discussed Doing it smart and having a good plan makes sense If you apply the size ofthe lots to the development you d be in the neighborhood of 120 lots not 300 and he questioned whether that is cost effective for the developers Brian Leland 528 North Bozeman Avenue mentioned being concerned with the final cost to city residents He thinks the developer needs the City more than the City needs this development and questioned whether it can be developed He noted that if the Commis ion approves this development It is locking the City into providing water and sewer questioned how water will be extended to the site He stated concern for the 02 21 0636 10 road network and the traffic He concluded by encouraging the Commissioners to look at the best deal for the City of Bozeman the taxpayers and the electors Hallie Rugheimer 1404 Story Mill Road stated support for the plan She stated that there have been six reviews over the last eighteen months She has attended everyone of the meetings and the applicants have received unanimous approval Commissioners Youngman and Kirchhoff supported this numerous tllnes The applicants have gotten the idea that the governing bodies approve this The Planning Board did not turn down the zone map amendment or annexation and the Planning Board supports this but they did not like the sub area planning process or requiring the developer to plan the Rugheimer property and the landfill The sub area plan proce s is flawed and needs to be fixed and is not supported by the Planning Board She noted the RugheimershavemetwiththedevelopersandsupporttheirdevelopmentproposalSheidentifiedtheprosandconsof being in the city versus the county the pros being ridgcline protection trails to the mountalOs groundwaterprotectionStoryMIllimprovementstaxesno20acreranehetteandaffordablehousingtheconsbeingmore densIty 10 the development She suggested that the City fix the sub area plan process before they apply it to another developer She also requested that if the City doesn t support this then they should table it develop a density lirmt and mutually agree to it She noted that the comments tonight have come from people who live in the viewshed and now want to protect it There hcing no Commissioner objections Mayor Krauss closed the public hearing Ron Slade noted that a resident may dnll a well on his lot and the restrictive eovenant would allow no additional wells beyond the city hook up He indicated that improvements will be made to Story Mill Road and in four to seven years the City will likely improve the road network beyond what the developers are going to do The applicant is willing to work with the community as evidenced by the three neighborhood meetingsthathavebeenheldandtheadjustmentsthathavebeenmadeasaresultofcommentsfromthosemeetingsThe trails connections will provide one mile ofconnectivity to the mountains and the open space is 43 percent of the parcel Mr Slade said that when they started this sub area plan they were directed by staff to come up with road networks etc passive recreations designs and maybe a par 3 golf course His client went through the expense to gather the additional data They did the best that they could from a site analysis Sub area Plan B offered a series of passive use open space The Rugheimer property had a different design He also noted that there is a road plan Sub area Plan C suggested maybe an amphitheater and pa sive open space He stated that Hallie Peter and Lynn Rugheimer were a part of the discussions Paul Rugheimer didn t want to commit to having another developer plan their land Sub area Plans D and E reflect the Rugheimer input with densitydecreasmgfromwesttoeastTheRugheimerswereuncomfortablethattheCityhadappliedplanningsolutions on their land and he suggested that each property owner should be able to decide what happens to their land Mr Slade said that what they ve heard time and time again is that the sub area process offended more people than it made were happy To have had unanimous approval from the Planning Board and the entire Commission previously and to be on the verge of a possible denial seems unfair given all the hard work the stewardship the working with the neighbors and the eleven months they have been working on this He then requested legal counsel Mayor Krau s declined offering legal counsel Responding to questions from Commission Becker Director Epple stated that the developer had to return to the Planning Board and the Commission for final approval because when the Commission preliminarily approved the amendment to the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan they said that they wanted to see the Churn Creek property in the broader context ofproperties that are likely to develop in the near future The Rugheimers have developed some land south ofthe creek and with the landfill being reclaimed a portionofthatsiteispotentiallyavailablefordevelopmentGiventheexistingtractstothenorthitisunlikelythatthe City would expand into that area and to the east are the Dodge conservation easement and the Bridger CanyonZoningDistrictTheresultisthatitappearstheboundariesofChurchCreekwillbethelimitedofcityexpansionintheforeseeablefutureThepurposeofthesubareaplanistomakesurethatconnectivityofroads trails and open space is assured He concluded by stating that prior to final approval the Commission wanted to see a broader plan 02 21 0637 11 Responding to additional questions from Commissioner Becker Director Epple stated staff does not believe that development of the subject property will result in development of land from the M to Sypes Canyon because of the conservation easement and the zoning district that abut the suhject site He also noted that the subject property is not part ofthe Bridger Bench and in fact is more ofan island He suggested that unless this parcel is to remain as agricultural it should be annexed that was a decision initially made last fall hut with the requirement for this additional review He then indicated that the issues currently revolve around the land use plan He then confirmed that additional work needs to he done before the various processes can be completed Further responding to Commissioner Becker Planning Director Epple stated the City and the County are on the same page with traffic and water issues He indicated that through the annexation agreement the City could preclude the drilling of wells except for irrigation and thus help avoid potential environmental prohlems Commissioner Becker a ked about the final co ts of development to the community stating that he i concerned about mitigating service costs Director Epple responded that what the City departments do IS try to identify the aspects of development that should he borne by the developer and not the community A lot of the review process is to see what point the development has to stop and improvements need to he made The ruIc of thumb is that residential development does not completely pay its way in terms of tax revenues versus expenditures For every dollar in services demanded they are paying about 80 cents which commercial and industrial development pay ahout 140 or 1 80 for every dollar of services demanded Responding to questions from Commissioner Jacobson Director Epple noted that where there is already a subdivision in place the potential for further subdivision is minimal Churn Creek isunusual hecause it s a large piece in single ownerslllp so it can be developed He further responded that he s not familiar with whether there are other areas that might develop to the north although development to the east is re tricted hecause of the conservation easement and zonmg district City Manager Kukulski encouraged the Commission to contemplate some the values of both the City and the County and try to determine how those might best be matched Also he suggested adding a condition to not allow any wells to be drilled and a condition to ensure the ridgeline is protected With respect to riparian protectIon wetlands and wildlife corridors he noted this project has focused on these sensitive things The City Manager noted the CIty will likely grow to 80 000 over the next few years and as a result decisions should not be made based on 35 000 people inside city limits He suggested that maybe there is a place inside the city limits for density that allows for lower density development He brought up that the County Commission expressed interest in dealing jointly with the areas around Bozeman and suggested that the City use this development as an opportunity to work with the County rather than the City denying the project and allowing the County to assumejurisdiction thus losing all opportunity to have any say on it The CityManager concluded by noting that this area is contiguous to the city Responding to comments from Mayor Krauss Commissioner Kirchhoff noted that the sub area plan was one ofthe conditions ofapproval and final approval is contingent upon Commission approval ofthis plan Mayor Krauss noted that he voted for the requirement to prepare a sub area plan so he would better know how the whole area would develop not as a condition of approval of the growth policy amendment Commissioner Kirchhoff noted that it looks like he s changing hi mind on this application since he will he votmg opposite of his previous votes on this project He acknowledged that the City needs to annex areas ripe for development to ensure they are developed in a manner that does not preclude further expansion of the city He expressed concern that the City is no managing the shelf rather the shelf is managing the City He is also concerned about the cumulative impact that prior Commission decisions is having on the City with over 3 000 lots now ready to build on which will accommodate growth for the next three to five years at the current growth rate He concluded by stating it does not make sense to expand the city in every direction noting that he believes the result will be to negatively impact the community 02 21 0638 12 CommIs ioner Rupp stated that he docs not view this application as being consistent with where or how he feels the community should grow and as a result he will not SUPPOlt this application Commissioner Jacobson stated she shares Commissioner Rupp s concerns She was concerned when the annexation growth policy amendment and zone map amendment came before the Commission m AugustShequestionsthepotentialforreachingapopulationof80000notingshefeelsthatwaterwilllimitgrowthShefindstheBridgersareaveryimportantaspectofthecommunityprovidingasenseofplaceShedoesnot want to see the Bridger Foothills covered WIth houses and she is afraid that approval of this sub area planwouldopenthedoortothisandfuturedevelopment Commissioner Becker raised the issue of a park maintenance district suggestmg that the result could be to eliminate fees and provide better service He then noted this proposed development provides 42 percent open space and he finds that developing in the city i preferable to development in the county because ofthe additional requirements and protections He stated the concerns about water and the watertable will be even greater is ues if development does not occur inside city limits He then indicated that many of the concerns raised involve issues addressed at subdivision He conduded by stating he views this as an opportunity for the City and noted he wants to see the type of subdivision that best fits the area In response to Commissioner questions and concerns Mr Slade requested that the Commission delayitsdeciSIOnforthirtydaystogivetheapplicantanopportunitytorespond Responding to questions posed by Commissioner Kirchhoff Mayor Krauss stated that because of his time as County Treasurer he has a unique perspective on issues involving city and county zoning He noted that preservation of land and respect for existing landscapes is important and he finds this plan is innovative and responsive with 43 percent of the land being in open space and much of it accessible to the public He favors removing the requirement for a sub area plan which has triggered this public hearing process He noted the County Planning Director has urged the City to annex the property and provide for development within citylimitsHecautionedthatcaremustbetakentoensurethecityisnotsurroundedbyaringoflowdensitydevelopmentonwellsandsepticsystemsandthosepropertiesdonotcontributetowardthecostsofthecityservicesthattheyuseHefurthernotedthattheCityhasaskedtheCountytosendproposeddevelopmentcontiguoustothecitytotheCityforannexationpriortodevelopmentandtonotdosowouldbecountertothat prior action He concluded by stating that he had prevIOusly voted for annexation of this property and wIll continue to support annexation and development of this property within city limit City Manager Kukulski stated that if a majority of the Commissioners do not wish to approve this application then the decision should not be delayed for thirty days rather the Commission should take action at this time Responding to questions from Commissioner Becker Director Epple noted that density issues can be discussed more effectively now than at a future stage Commissioner Rupp noted that his decision is not based on the beliefthat 20 acre parcels is a better way to grow instead is based upon the application currently before the Commission He stated that he does not support this application noting he has not changed his position since this development was first proposed Commissioner Jacobson said that she believes the majority of the community does not favor this typeofdevelopmentandasaresultdoesnotsupportit Decision It was moved by Commissioner Beckerthat action on the sub area plan be tabled to March 27 and that direction be provided to the applicants regarding how it may need to be revised to gain approval by the Commission The motion died for lack of a second It was moved by Commissioner Rupp seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff that the Commission
