SECOND WEEK REVIEW 2. Osterman MaSP #Z-95156 - (Patterson) 1800 N. Rouse - A Major Site Plan Application to allow the construction of a mini-storage warehouse facility. Planner Dean Patterson reviewed concerns from last week. Mr. Morley displayed the modified drawings and stated that they had realigned the driveway so that it goes straight through the warehouse facility. He continued that he had redrawn the parking spaces to allow 6 per potential business. Mr. Winn explained that the crash gates did as much damage to the fire trucks as to the gates, therefore, he doesn't like them. He continued that such accesses are usually used for snow storage in the winter. Discussion ensued on fire access options. Mr. Winn inquired about the stairway and kitchenette. Mr. Morley stated it is for the on-site manager's residence. Mr. Springer stated he'd like to leave the plan as shown if"knox boxes" are permissible. Mr. Winn was open to the idea of "knox boxes" Discussion followed on security, aisle lengths, and turnarounds. Mr. Springer suggested a cross access drive through the buildings. Fire and Engineering Departments would like the turn-radius templates for trucks shown on the plan. Discussion ensued on water/sewer services, permitted length of dead end water mains, and fire protection devices. The water main should be located in the same easement as the sewer main. Water should also be looped through the property to the east. Discussion followed on the existing non-approved sewer on the property. Mr. Forbes stated the reason that the sewer hasn't been approved by the City is that it is near a superfund site. He anticipates that it will be fully utilized sometime in the future. Mr. Bukvich that stated the applicant will need input from MDOT. Mr. Sicz noted the need for waivers for Rouse and signalization at Griffin. Planner Patterson inquired if the applicant is going to show the flood plain. Mr. Brawner stated that the floodway needs to be shown for the bridge, and the plan needs further detail for the rest of the stream. Mr. Woodward noted that there has to be a sewer for each building that has occupancy and the City would not be in favor of two utility creek crossings at the same point. He also noted information deficiencies on the plans. Mr. Brawner suggested the applicant look into certifying the unapproved sewer. Mr. Woodward added that the applicant has to show water and sewer service to the buildings and where the water main is in relation to the easements. Discussion followed on the ownership of the unapproved sewer and the legal existence of easements. Mr. Woodward stated that the water main has to be installed underground, not on the bridge. Discussion followed on looping the water mains, and length of water mains without looping. Mr. Sicz suggested the applicant work with Mark at the sanitation department to work out the dumpster requirements. Mr. Mabee noted that the areas of the buildings that are used for offices need foundations below the frost line. Mr. Winn noted that if the structure were sprinklered, that would mitigate many of his and Mr. Mabee's concerns. Discussion ensued on which buildings will be occupied. Planner Patterson noted the need for security lighting and fencing details. Chairperson Skelton noted that written comments are not needed next week as the Committee will see this project two more times.

Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell presented the project. Mr. Bell reviewed the traffic study he'd completed. He noted that left hand turning movements from Baxter to 7th were the main problems. Planner Arkell led a discussion on water and sewer hook ups, the extension of which streets is proposed in the Master Plan, and how to redirect traffic to ease the problem Mr. Bell analyzed. Chairperson Skelton inquired if there was a stream running through the property. Planner Arkell affirmed. Mr. Woodward stated that sewer and water will have to be looped. He continued that a lift station is not satisfactory as a lift station and motel are not compatible. Discussion ensued on sewer capacity and how to get the sewer main put through to 19th. Mr. Bukvich stated that the Oak Street water main will be put in this year. Discussion on what conditions are needed to ensure adequate water/sewer. Mr. Brawner stated that as a minimum the applicant will have to demonstrate that adequate sewer capacity and fire flows are available. Mr. Woodward noted that if the whole site were moved towards Oak Street, then the access problem would be eliminated. Discussion ensued on infrastructure requirements in the future and access to the future stubs.

FINAL WEEK REVIEW Suiter MiSub #P-9602 - (Williams) End of East Lincoln, East of Rouse - Second week of a two week review for a Minor Subdivision Application to divide 1.1 acres into 3 lots. Project Planner Christopher Williams presented the project. He stated that the main problem is the turnaround. He continued that his one condition is an easement of 10' at the edge of the back yards of each lot for utilities access. Mr. Paysek discussed the conditions of the Engineering Department (on file at the Planning Office). In response to the condition that requires no parking signage, Mr. Litle stated that he intended to post no parking signs. Mr. Paysek continued that sewer, sanitation, street equipment meed the cul-de-sac turnaround. Mr. Winn stated that if the applicant enforced the no parking, then he would support the signage. Chairperson Skelton inquired about the street width. Discussion followed. Planner Arkell stated that since this is a minor subdivision, the Public Service Director would make the final decision. Further discussion ensued on Mr. Paysek's conditions. Mr. Brawner suggested that the neighbors to the south would grant a temporary easement for a gravel turnaround. Mr. White stated that he has spoken with the neighbor, he wasn't in favor of an easement. Mr. Sicz stated that he has no problem with a hammerhead, as long as the no parking is enforced. Chairperson Skelton stated that normally a turnaround cul-de-sac would be required. He continued that the City doesn't want to get into a situation on enforcement-calling the police and towing of vehicles in the no parking zone. Mr. Brawner stated that the applicant could have an temporary eccentric cul-de-sac. Usually 100' is required for a turnaround, but the eccentric would require 70' continued Mr. Brawner. Chairperson Skelton summarized the preceding discussion. Mr. White doesn't understand the need for a 100' cul-de-sac. He continued that in his former city of residence, the garbage trucks didn't pick up the trash one day because there were vehicles parked in front of the enclosure. The next and succeeding weeks, the vehicles weren't there on garbage collection day. Mr. Litle explained that he had looked at the 70' cul-de-sac early in this project, but rejected it. He has the drawing at the office. Mr. Brawner suggested that the cul-de-sac line up with Lincoln, curb and gutter north side, and pave the north part of the street, then, when the property to the south is developed, the rest of the street would be required to be completed. Mr. Sicz was concerned that the right-of-way was wide enough to allow the plowing and storage of snow, as the city plows the full width of the asphalt. Discussion on the above continued. Mr. Paysek continued with a discussion of his conditions. Mr. Woodward briefly reviewed his department's conditions, the most important of which is that the existing house must be hooked up to city services before the final site plan will be approved. Planner Arkell clarified several conditions. Mr. Brawner stated that there is one more serious issue -- the Rouse Street sewer is at capacity with no reserve capacity remaining. He continued that the City recognizes that there needs to be a capital improvements district to remedy the problem. He also noted that the residents in this area do not want further development south of Main Street on the Rouse sewer. Chairperson Skelton reminded the Committee Members to have their revised comments to Derek by week's end as he has to have his recommendations to the Public Service Director by February 7th.

SECOND WEEK REVIEW 1. Bridger Creek 2 & 3 MaSub #Z- - (Skelton) North of Bridger Creek and South of the City of Bozeman Landfill, on both sides of McEhattan Road - A Major Subdivision Application to allow 47 single family lots and 1 condominium lot in Phase 2, and 44 single family lots in Phase 3, for a total of 92 lots. Senior Planner Dave Skelton presented the project. He noted that Mr. Gianfrancisco had indicated that the Story Mill bridge over Bridger Creek needs widening. He continued that Staff is recommending that McIlhattan be paved to 28', with all other roads to have a dedicated 60' width. Mr. Belden stated that McIlhattan Road will be moved slightly to the east. He continued that the applicant will be requesting a waiver for a secondary access until the third phase is developed. Mr. Winn and Mr. Sicz had no concerns. Planner Skelton stated that no emergency access is being required by the 14th hole of the golf course. He continued that most of the suggestions from the informal review have been met. The seven lots in phase 3 that face onto Story Mill Road will be required to have a paved road. Mr. Woodward inquired about access to the manholes. Mr. Belden stated that the City will have access. He continued by summarizing the improvements in water capacity. Mr. Paysek inquired about the length of the main from the first phase through the second phase. Mr. Belden stated that it is between 1700' and 2000'. Mr. Brawner inquired about the distance from the hook up in phase 2 through phase 3. Mr. Belden indicated it was almost a mile. Discussion ensued on the future cutting of McIlhattan for sewer and water service. Mr. Sicz stated that the way the street is shown, drifting will occur on the turn. Planner Skelton continued reviewing the informal review suggestions. Mr. Belden stated that phase 3 would not be developed until '98 or '99. He pointed out where the monitoring wells are currently located on the property. Planner Skelton stated that the monitoring well in lot 32 may have to be eliminated. Mr. Forbes indicated that it is not up to DRC to abandon the well, the State needs to do that upon request. Discussion followed on the monitoring wells, all weather surface on the new streets, and looping the water system. Planner Skelton inquired if waivers had been obtained from Montana Power and U.S. West. Mr. Woodward stated that there's not enough room in the front lot utility easements. Discussion followed on sewer boxes and utility easements. Mr. Brawner stated that Code requires the utility easements to be in the back of the lots. Planner Skelton noted he had informed the applicant he would need a waiver to place the easement in the front of the lots. Planner Skelton asked Mr. Belden to summarize his plan for buffering the subdivision from the landfill. Mr. Belden's summary included a 30' strip along the new cell site, 100' along the old cell, and a 30' trails easement. He noted that the landfill area cannot be seen from the home sites. Mr. Sicz stated that when the landfill is nearing capacity, vehicles will be seen from the development. Discussion ensued on the view from the subdivision. Planner Skelton noted that the applicant has worked out a trails system with the approval of the Parks department and dedicated land for a park. He continued that the trails system can be part of the sidewalk in Phase 2. Mr. Easton stated that trails and golf are to recreations that are not compatible. He proposes a give and take option, in the winter the trails can be used, in the summer the golf course can be used. He continued that he has a problem with the trail as it has nowhere to go or come from. Planner Skelton explained that the trail system is to use the old railroad spur, with this property to provide the connector. He suggested the applicant visit with the Parks Board to work out the details. He concluded that this Committee will continue the discussion next week.
