A. FINAL WEEK REVIEW
1. Balian ZMA Z-9666 - (Patterson)
2701 W. Babcock and adjoining vacant land
- A Zone Map Amendment Application to initially classify a 6.15 acre
parcel from County Zoning District #1 (General Residential) to R-MH
(Residential - Mobile Home).
Chairperson Dave Skelton noted that DRC is to provide comments for the Staff Report to
Planning Board and City Commission. Dennis Balian joined DRC. Planner Dean Patterson
reviewed the project noting that it was once called Yellowstone Peaks Subdivision and was
approved for R-3 zoning. Mr. Balian has put the R-3 zoning request on hold until this
project is approved, then he will withdraw the application for the R-3 zoning. Chairperson
Skelton asked Planner Patterson to review for the DRC the R-MH zoning in the area.
Planner Patterson noted there are several mobile home parks in the area and another is
proposed. Chairperson Skelton noted that Tanner's Way is just to the north of this property
and the application for it is for modular type housing.
Mr. Paysek inquired if Mr. Balian was comfortable that he will be able to obtain easements
for drainage and a looped water system through McGough's property and if he had
considered working with Mr. McGough on looping the water and extending the street. Mr.
Balian noted that he and Mr. McGough have discussed looping the water and street extension
and Mr. McGough gave verbal consent to the drainage easements.
Planner Patterson asked DRC members to have their comments to him by this Friday.

A. FINAL WEEK REVIEW
2. Tanner's Way MaSub Pre-application P-9640 - (Saunders)
2605 West Villard
- A Major Subdivision Pre-application application to subdivide 1.857
acres into 10+ lots.
Chairperson Dave Skelton introduced the project and noted that the purpose of today's
meeting is to identify the major problems before the preliminary plat is filed. Planner Chris
Saunders will write a letter to the applicant and representative listing the compilation of
details from the departments that are to be addressed in the preliminary plat application.
Lowell Springer and Cecil Horan joined the DRC.
Planner Saunders noted there are several concerns that have already been expressed. (1) Is
the common open space going to be fenced away from the private home, or how will it be
defined? Mr. Springer noted that the open space will be identified with landscaping. (2)
Confirm the areas of open space and the areas of common open space to be under the
jurisdiction of the homeowners association. (3) The covenants for the homeowners
association are to be submitted. (4) The hammerhead dimensions are needed on the site
plan and in the narrative. (5) The sidewalks are located on private property and the public
use of them is to be guaranteed. (6) The street width won't allow on-street parking,
therefore, off-street parking will be required. Mr. Springer noted that parking for two
vehicles is being provided on each lot.
Mr. Woodward noted if no utilities are located in the front yards, then this proposal may
work. Mr. Springer stated that all utilities will be located in the rear of the lot. Mr.
Woodward noted there are three conditions from the Water/Sewer Department (Staff Report
on file at the Planning Office).
Mr. Brawner noted the definition of open space for clarification.
Ms. Finke presented the Staff Report for the Engineering Department, which contained 10
conditions (on file at the Planning Office).

Mr. Springer discussed the problem with the drainage from the Greenway Subdivision onto
Tanner's Way. He noted that most of the drainage will percolate after the landscaping is
installed. Mr. Woodward suggested berms to direct drainage to the ponds.
Chairperson Skelton inquired if Mr. Springer has discussed the road issue with Mr.
Gianfrancisco. Mr. Springer noted that he had discussed the road standard early in the
project, but will visit with him again.
Mr. Springer noted that water, sewer, and the street will be extended to the east end for
extension into the adjacent properties as those developments occur.
Discussion ensued on street width and the sidewalk easement.
Chairperson Skelton noted that the submittal for preliminary plat is to be accurately and
uniformity dimensioned.

B. SECOND WEEK REVIEW
1. Ranch & Home MiSP Z-9673 - (Patterson)
2275 North 7th Avenue
- A Minor Site Plan Application to allow parking lot expansion to the
south of the existing facility.
Chairperson Dave Skelton introduced the project and noted that Ranch and Home Supply
needs more parking and display area and has purchased property to the south of the store for
that purpose. DRC is to make a decision on this project next week. Dave Crawford joined
the DRC.
Mr. Crawford explained the need for extra room and the desire for a cleaner site.
Mr. Paysek noted a measurement correction on the east entry drive. Mr. Crawford
explained how he had measured the distance and Mr. Paysek agreed that his measurement
was okay, however, it should be shown as 24'.
Planner Patterson asked the DRC if the location and size of snow removal area was
adequate. Mr. Crawford explained the snow storage areas and the fencing of the lot along
Flora Lane.
Mr. Brawner inquired about the location of the drainage. Mr. Crawford noted that the site
drains to the curb. Planner Patterson asked if the east snow storage area would be sloped so
the drainage would stay on the pavement all the way to the drainage retention pond.
Discussion ensued on drainage.
Mr. Crawford noted that one of the conditions for approval of the KBMN subdivision is to
install the infrastructure. He noted that sidewalks along Flora Lane are included in those
conditions.
Chairperson Skelton noted that a condition to improve Flora Lane shouldn't be included for
this development as the traffic density will not justify it. He noted that a City standard street
is to be built on the east side of Flora Lane and a County standard on the west side, since the
4
City limits is located in the middle.
Mr. Woodward inquired where the water and sewer are to be located. Mr. Crawford noted
that there is no extension of water and sewer planned for this project. Discussion ensued on
grading and sidewalks.
Planner Patterson inquired if the pond needs to be a retention area until the drainage system
is installed. Mr. Crawford noted that he has designed the pond to be detention, but it will be
retention until the subdivision drainage system is installed; then it will be altered into a
detention pond.
Chairperson Skelton noted a concern about the depth of the front ponds. He suggested a 1:4
slope for them. Mr. Crawford noted that a 1:4 slope was designed.
Discussion ensued on curb and gutter requirements along the storage area out to Flora Lane.
Mr. Crawford explained the flow of traffic and noted that employee parking will be located
in the new area.
Planner Patterson inquired if there is a need for an easement since the paving crosses the
common property lines and there is a possibility of a later sale of one property or the other.
Chairperson Skelton noted that wasn't necessary.
Mr. Crawford noted the existing fire hydrants and existing fence. He indicated the location
of the proposed fence 10 feet out from the hydrants.

C. INITIAL WEEK REVIEW
1: Bozeman Deaconess Medical Office Building III MaSP - (Arkell)
915 Highland Boulevard
- A Major Site Plan Application to allow the construction of a third
medical office building.
Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell distributed the submittal materials and presented
the project. John Curran and John Nordwick joined DRC. Mr. Curran explained the few
changes that had been made since the informal presentation. Planner Arkell noted that there
is a lot of information on the site plan.
Mr. Curran noted that the town center will be a focal point of the whole structure and will
define the location for visitors. He continued that the two story office building has a
potential for a third story.
Mr. Paysek inquired about changing the drainage. Mr. Curran explained the existing system
and alternative systems.
Chairperson Skelton handed the leadership of the meeting to Vice-Chairperson Chuck Winn
for the duration of the meeting.
Mr. Woodward noted that it would be best if there were less joints in the water and sewer
pipes under the floor.
Discussion ensued on water, manholes, slope of drainage, connection of the new water main,
size of the water main in Highland Blvd., the location of extra hydrants at the rear of the
building, vacation of Old Highland Blvd., when to install an additional hydrant, location of
new mains, and availability of access to sewer mains. Mr. Curran noted that they have no
intention of doing anything to Old Highland Blvd.
Mr. Woodward noted that there will be an increase in sewage and his crew could be in a
bind to clean the manholes as they may not be accessible by the trucks.
6
Discussion ensued on landscaping, the irrigation system, and the fact that the adjacent
neighbor to the south isthe City-owned cemetery.
Mr. Curran explained the phasing for construction that they'd like to do to accommodate the
moving of the sewer and water systems.
Mr. Brawner noted the detail needed before phasing can be approved. He continued that in
order for the departments to review partial building permits, the phasing will have to be
specifically spelled out. He explained the necessary information. Mr. Curran also noted that
the drilled piers will be installed in two phases.
Planner Arkell noted that DRC will see this project two more times.
Mr. Paysek asked for as builts for the water and sewer mains extended when MOB 2 was
constructed. Mr. Curran noted that the City should acquire them for themselves as his firm
has little to do with the original contractor and his firm has tried to no avail to obtain a set
for their files. He noted that the City can probably obtain the material easier than his firm
can get them, but agreed to try again.
Planner Arkell noted that in two weeks comments are needed for a recommendation to the
Planning Board.
Mr. Woodward and Mr. Brawner noted a need for a general note on the final final site plan
on the abandonment of the water and sewer lines that are under MOB II.
