Chairperson Dave Skelton called the meeting to order. He noted that there were three items
on this week's agenda, the first of which was a final week review.
A. FINAL WEEK REVIEW
1. Kountz Mobile Home Park Expansion MaSub Pre-Application P-9647
8628 Huffine Lane
- A Major Subdivision Pre-Application to subdivide 2.927 acres into 11
lots.
Chairperson Dave Skelton noted that no formal action was needed on this application, just
comments to help Planner Williams write a report to the applicant. Planner Christopher
Williams reviewed the project. Discussion followed on sizes of mobiles and if the lot sizes
were adequate. Planner Williams was concerned with the area set aside for the park, it has
to be separate from the storm water retention/detention areas. He noted that parking
requirements have been met. Ray Center joined DRC.
Mr. Larry Woodward asked if City water will ever be installed, as the agreement is open-
ended and the applicant is not required to annex. He continued that the other requirements
won't be met until the applicant annexes. Discussion ensued. Mr Woodward asked if sewer
infrastructure was completed. Mr. Center noted that there are one or two yet to be
connected. Mr. Woodward asked if any connections had been inspected by the Building
Department. Mr. Neil Poulsen noted that no connections have been inspected to date. Mr.
Center noted that there has been no indication on any correspondence that the sewer
connections had to be inspected. Mr. Poulsen talked to the applicant's engineer and asked
him to explain what had been done and write a letter certifying what has been done. Mr.
Poulsen's department will inspect the one connection left to install. He continued that he
will accept the certification of the applicant's engineer on the sewer connections. Mr.
Poulsen and Mr. Center concurred that the expansion has not been connected to the City
sewer system yet. Mr. Center indicated that the stubs are in, but not connected. They
discussed how to handle the future connections. Mr. Poulsen noted that the water system
will have to be inspected by the Building Department as it is a private system.
Mr. Craig Brawner noted that he remembers a 6 year time frame to connect to City water
after annexation. Ms. Holly Brown confirmed that there is no annexation deadline. Mr.
1
Brawner noted that the reason the City didn't want the mobile home park to annex was that
the City couldn't afford to provide water to the property. Ms. Brown noted that the water
was an issue for fire protection. A rural fire department has it covered. Discussion
continued on when the property may be annexed and fire protection allowances.
Mr. Phill Forbes asked if any other conditions are yet to be met. Ms. Brown noted that the
applicant has a proposal on the table with Mr. Forbes. Discussion ensued on the conditions
yet to be met. Mr. Brawner noted that the conditions of the CUP have to be met before the
subdivision will be approved. Mr. Brawner noted that the Babcock sewer bottleneck has to
be resolved. Discussion followed on the sewer replacement schedule for that area.
Mr. Center asked what the letter from Planner Williams will contain. Chairperson Skelton
noted that it will red flag issues that need to be addressed in the preliminary plat application.
Mr. Brawner noted that the expansion needs to be approved by the State department that
governs health issues for trailer parks.
Mr. Woodward asked if the sewer system is hooked up enough that they can start meter
readings. Mr. Center noted that it is.
Chairperson Skelton reiterated that comments are to be given to Planner Williams by October
18, 1996.

B. SECOND WEEK REVIEW
1. Bozeman Warehouses MiSP/COA #Z-9690 - (Patterson, Finke)
N. Church
- A Minor Site Plan/Certificate of Appropriateness Application to allow
the construction of a three unit office/manufacturing building with parking.
Planner Dean Patterson noted that no one was here for the applicant. Mr. Neil Poulsen
noted that depending on the occupancy, the building may need a fire line. Planner Patterson
noted that the Brewery would add other concerns - spillage near the creek and odor. Other
concerns were trash enclosures, outside lighting, north elevation. Chairperson Dave Skelton
noted that DRC doesn't know the use of each area and asked that Planner Patterson get the
information before the next meeting. DRC needs the north elevation to address the concern
expressed by Mrs. McMeekin. DRC does make the decision on this application, so it
needs all materials and answers to its questions. Discussion followed on the materials
needed, which included that the indication of paving of Cottonwood to Peach and the
infrastructure are both required to be on MiSP site plan. Mr. Craig Brawner noted that
applicant will be required to show what easements and widths are actually on the property.
Chairperson Skelton noted that building cannot be over the easements. He asked if there was
enough information to make a decision next week. The Committee noted that there is not.
Chairperson Skelton noted that the applicant should be contacted and told that the DRC will
be making a recommendation of denial due to lack of information.
Mr. Jonathan Roen, representing the engineering consultant, joined DRC midway through the
meeting. Chairperson Skelton summarized the meeting thus far. He noted that the applicant
is required to allow for adequate fire protection, provide the north elevation, present
additional information on utilities services, and investigate the status of existing easements on
vacated Cottonwood Street. Mr. Brawner noted that there are two easements shown.
Discussion continued with questions on right-of-way, retention plans, the non-acceptability of
building over the easement. Discussion ensued on the setbacks. Mr. Brawner noted that the
trees shown may not be acceptable due to their locations over service lines. Chairperson
Skelton reviewed the options of DRC. He noted that the applicant has to request a
continuance if he wants to have time to provide the materials needed to approve the
application. Mr. Roen noted that it would be in the best interest of the applicant to request
the continuance.

it does. Discussion ensued on sidewalks in the area. Planner Patterson noted that the
