A. FINAL WEEK REVIEWS 1. Speedy Lube MiSP/COA #Z-9656 - (Patterson) 438 North 7th Avenue - A Minor Site Plan application with a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow the use of an existing third bay for auto lubrication and oil change services, expand the customer waiting area, and modify the front elevation of the building. Planner Dean Patterson reviewed the project and the conditions discussed last week. (Complete text of conditions on file at the Planning Office.) Planner Patterson noted that (1) the sign is to be accurately sized, and scale dimensions of the building and all signage are to be included on the Final Site Plan submittal. The awning may not be illuminated unless approved by the Planning Office. (2) The mobile oil and lube service vehicle shall be inspected and approved by the Fire Department and parked either in a screened location or in the rear of the building. (3) The applicant is to limit his business to oil and lubrication services or apply for a second principle use. (4) The combination floor plan/site plan shall show adequate detail of various building elements needed to understand the layout of the building and the activity taking place in the building. Mr. Paysek noted that an existing approach is being closed; he recommended it be abandoned and a regular sidewalk be installed. Planner Patterson noted that the approach and sidewalk were approved in a previous Minor Site Plan. He observed that nothing drains into the sewer. He also noted that the alley is paved to the southerly property line. Mr. Winn moved, Mr. Paysek seconded, that the application be conditionally approved as per the conditions by the Planning Office adding "for the awning" after "A building permit and a sign permit", and adding "or second principal use" after "If a different business activity". Motion carried unanimously by voice vote. 1 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, DULY 2, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

FINAL WEEK REVIEWS 2. Bridger Feeds MiSP/COA #Z-9654 - (Saunders) 501 Evergreen Drive - A Minor Site Plan application to construct a 7,428 square foot footprint retail and storage building with a 864 square foot upper level apartment and a separate 3,400 square foot warehouse. Planner Chris Saunders reviewed the project and the concerns from last week. Kip Halvorsen joined the DRC. Mr. Paysek presented his conditions (complete text on file in the Planning Office), which are all boilerplate. He noted that the plans do need adequate dimensions. He will also need documentation that any easements have been granted or given. He asked how large the project is proposed to be. Mr. Halvorsen answered that it is 10,828 square feet. Mr. Forbes requested a stop sign on the northwest corner at their approach to Gilkerson Drive Mr. Poulsen noted that there are building code issues that will be checked at permitting time. Mr. Winn stated that the building must meet code. Planner Saunders asked if there was water capacity for fire line. Mr. Winn noted that there needs to be enough to meet requirements for sprinklering. Mr. Poulsen noted that both buildings may have to be sprinklered. Planner Saunders asked if the 2" line is adequate. Mr. Paysek noted that a design profile will be needed. Mr. Woodward stated that his conditions are standard except for #7 (complete text of his conditions on file in the Planning Office). Condition #7 stated that the plans and specifications for any fire service line have to be prepared in accordance with the City's Fire Service Line Policy by a professional engineer and submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to initiation of construction of the fire service or fire protection. Chairperson Skelton noted that a decision is to be made today. Mr. Winn moved, Mr. Paysek seconded, that the DRC conditionally approve the application 2 with the exclusion of Mr. Paysek's condition #14. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote. 3 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, DULY 2, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

FINAL WEEK REVIEWS 3. Bozeman Athletic Club West Annexation A-9603 - (Saunders) 8601 Huffine Lane - An Application for Annexation of 135+ acres. Planner Chris Saunders asked the Committee to add the Bozeman Athletic Club West Annexation to the agenda. The request was granted. Planner Saunders reviewed the project. Mr. Delaney joined DRC. Planner Saunders noted that the Police Department has concerns with patrolling and providing security protection for a project this distance from Bozeman. Planner Saunders reviewed the concerns of the last meeting. (1) Impact fees for fire and streets would be assessed at the time of annexation. (2) Annexation maps will have to be submitted. (3) The Master Plan shows that the sewer service boundary is on the creek. The project is west of the creek, therefore, the applicant will be responsible for the installation of the sewer trunk and water service lines. Mr. Hixson presented his conditions. (Complete text on file in the Planning Office.) He noted that (1) The applicant shall dedicate to the City an easement for the right-of-way for West Babcock. (2) The applicant shall dedicate to the City an easement for the right-of-way for Ferguson Avenue. (3) The applicant shall provide and file with the County Clerk and Recorder's Office executed waivers of right to protest creation of SID's for the construction of street improvements to West Babcock Street and Ferguson Avenue, including paving, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and storm drainage facilities. Also funding for the applicant's share of signalizing the intersection of Ferguson Avenue and U.S. 191 shall be provided. (4) If the property is annexed, the applicant shall provide water service to any future development on the annexed property by means of fully looped water mains from the City's distribution system. (5) The sewer mains provided must conform with the goals of the City's Draft Wastewater Facilities master planning documents and with the principles of sound engineering practices. He noted that the proposed sewer mains do not meet the goals of the City's Draft Wastewater Facilities Plan. The project should be served by a sewer trunk located farther to the west than shown. (6) Water rights, or cash in lieu thereof, in an amount sufficient to supply the site with City water (as calculated by the Director of Public Service) shall be provided by the applicant prior to any development of the site. 4 Mr. Woodward noted he will review the infrastructure when it is designed. Mr. Delaney commented on the memorandum from the Police Department stating that all over the U.S. the police departments are saying that they cannot handle the additional service to the areas outside the city limits. He noted that security protection is required to be provided by municipal and county police. In regard to the sewer service boundary, he noted that he wants the word "draft" emphasized. He has hired Kerin Engineering and Morrison- Maierle to do the engineering work. He also noted that the draft is subject to change. He noted, too, that there is adequate capacity for his project to flow into the Valley Unit trunk. He has been told that if they pay $2000 to HKM to review their plans, the plans will be approved. Mr. Delaney noted that the word "draft" appears in paragraph 2 of condition #5. In paragraph 4, he plans to show the City that the capacity in the sewer trunk is there for future development in the area. He emphasized that the word "will" in the last sentence should be changed to "may". He argued that the City has a biased view for the location of the Far West Trunkline. Mr. Delaney noted that there aren't any agreed upon easements for the trunk line to Baxter. It may make sense for the line to be installed there, however, without easements from property owners who don't want to develop, it would be impossible to install. Mr. Hixson stated that engineering's judgement should not be seen to be biased as the conditions are based upon professional judgements of the office and 11KM's engineering judgement. Mr. Delaney responded that everybody has biases, even though they have a code of ethics. The hired engineering firm takes the information from the engineering department and incorporates that information into their recommendations. Chairperson Skelton noted that ethics are not to be argued at this forum. Discussion ensued on the location of the trunk line. Mr. Delaney noted that the documentation for drainage into the Valley Unit trunk is being delivered tomorrow. He doesn't want to waste money building a private system, then be annexed and required to connect to City services. He wants to change "will" to "may". Mr. Hixson deleted the last line of paragraph 4 of condition #5 from "...1981 Sewer Facility Plan" to the end of the sentence and placing a period after "Plan". Mr. Delaney noted that the line along the creek is a flexible line. Discussion ensued on the locations of the two lines, how the flexibility works, and who loses services in the future if Delaney's project is allowed to connect to the existing trunk. Chairperson Skelton noted that Planner Saunders will summarize all of the above concerns for the City Commission. 5 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, JULY 29 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

SECOND WEEK REVIEWS 1. Adamson MiSub/COA #P-9628 - (Arkell) 424 N. Rouse - A Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Application to allow a 0.7589 acre parcel to be divided into three lots. Chairperson Skelton reviewed the project. Planner Debbie Arkell noted that access into an improved street or alley was the main issue last week. Planner Arkell also questioned the sewer and water being installed in the garage. Mr. Dougherty explained that the bathroom was included in the drawings approved by the DRB. He continued to explain the changes from the last submittal. He discussed with Mr. Woodward another configuration which would save money. He knows there is a utility easement that needs to be enlarged. As far a paving Perkins Place, he asked why the street and access issues didn't come up in March when an informal review was conducted. Chairperson Skelton noted that it is a Code Requirement that must be addressed by the applicant. Planner Arkell noted that the decision to be made is to what standard, if any, the street needs to be improved. Mr. Woodward noted that the Committee will review only one set of plans. He has received two different sets. Mr. Dougherty explained the water and sewer line placement on the second drawing. Mr. Woodward wants all the "clean-up" information on the site plan to be reviewed. Mr. Woodward and Mr. Dougherty discussed easements, placement of service lines, the saving of the orchard, the location of the fire hydrant, and access from North Rouse Avenue to the new house. Mr. Dougherty noted that there was a gate proposed on the first submittal to keep the renters from accessing Rouse through the owner's property. He deleted the gate as no one liked it. Mr. Winn discussed the location of a hydrant on Perkins Place or on a street on the same side of the creek. Planner Arkell's explained the conditions on the approved COA. Discussion on where mail will be collected and traffic traveling through the parking lot to Perkins Place ensued. Mr. Winn stated that either the existing hydrants are to be shown on the site plan or where one will be installed. Discussion ensued on putting a gate between the two lots and the owner's lot. 6 Chairperson Skelton noted that the priority last week was to mitigate traffic concerns. He noted that there is a stalemate. A decision has to be made next week to recommend approval, conditional approval, or denial. Discussion ensued on how property ownership could change, the neighbors may not be amenable to changes brought about by new ownership, and that a dumpster could be placed on the easement. There were concerns with water/sewer and fire protection. Chairperson Skelton asked if discouraging access from Perkins Place to Rouse is the issue. Mr. Forbes noted that the improved street is also an issue. Planner Arkell asked if the cabin has access to Perkins Place. Mr. Dougherty noted that it does. Planner Arkell suggested restricting the lot for a single family unit only. Mr. Forbes noted that he'd rather have seen this project as a site plan. Mr. Dougherty asked if the cabin should be connected to the 4-plex. Chairperson Skelton noted that the lot size has to be met to do that. Mr. Dougherty noted that a SFR would have the least impact on the area. Mr. Winn discussed fire protection. Planner Arkell envisioned a parking lot with access from Rouse, with no access from the parking lot to Perkins Place. She suggested an on-site visit to determine access. Mr. Woodward noted that this is a State highway, so back fill will be required for the street cut. If the cabin isn't up to Code, there might have to be a meter pit. Mr. Dougherty noted that there is a basement under the cabin. 7 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.
