Mr. Pertzborn noted that the street was vacated a few years ago and ends in a kind of cul-de- sac. He continued that he's trying to avoid any surprises in the Project Review process. He doesn't want to pay for the paving of the street, curbing, and sidewalks. Mr. Woodward noted that the street is full of infrastructure. He continued that the project will probably require a odwardrger water service noted that grease traps. Discussion ensued on the there needs to be a study of the number of e of the water mains. Mr..

INFORMAL REVIEW 2. Adamson Residence 424 North Rouse Historic Preservation Officer Derek Strahn presented the project and introduced Mr. Robert Dougherty. Mr. Strahn noted that Mr. Dougherty is proposing to subdivide the property into three lots. Mr. Dougherty noted the changes made since DRC last saw the project - including the parking configuration and the water/sewer lines. He asked for comment on these items. He also noted that the owner wants to keep the proposed gate on the fence dividing lots 1 & 2 for maintenance. The tenants would not have access to it. Chairperson Skelton noted that the driveway is required to be wide enough for two-way traffic. He is uncomfortable with two-way traffic in the narrow entrance on Rouse Avenue. Discussion ensued on reasons to leave the driveway as is - the main reason being that two large trees would have to be removed. Mr. Dougherty explained that there is a 4-plex located on the property now. The parking for it is bad due to lack of paving. Planner Patterson suggested a well around the tree, then widen the driveway. Mr. Strahn noted that Mr. Dougherty will need to apply for a deviation for the 4-plex as it is a non-conforming structure in a "R-3a" zoning district. Planner Patterson noted that parking may require another deviation application. Chairperson Skelton asked for discussion on the water/sewer. Mr. Woodward disagreed with the location of the water service on the plan. Mr. Dougherty noted that he would check on the location with Mr. Woodward at a later date. He continued by asking about the availability of water service under Rouse Street. Mr. Woodward noted that it could be tapped into. Mr. Dougherty inquired about installing a utility sink in the garage - would it have to have a separate water/sewer service? Mr. Woodward responded that it would. Chairperson Skelton asked DRC about the one-way driveway and the shared access. Mr. Forbes inquired about parking for the cabin and the access. Mr. Dougherty noted that parking is achieved by driving through from Perkins Place to the parking space. Mr. Forbes noted he had no problem with it being a single access for the cabin. Chairperson Skelton asked DRC about the gate. The members concluded that they were not in favor of through traffic. Mr. Forbes noted that he is in favor of a full width driveway on Rouse.

INITIAL WEEK REVIEW 1. Northern Lights MiSP #Z-9633 - (Arkell) 1716 W. Babcock - A Minor Site Plan Application to allow construction of a storage addition, re-build upper deck and stairs, and add 5 new parking spaces. Planning Director Andrew Epple presented the project. The proposal is to expand the building, rebuild the upper deck and repair the stairs, and add five parking spaces. Mr. Woodward noted that the original building was required to put in a fire line. Mr. Winn confirmed that no fire line was put in. He continued that the basement probably isn't sprinklered. Discussion ensued on the existing water service and the needed service. Mr. Paysek noted it is an opportunity for obtaining a Wavier of Richt to Protest on paving of W. Babcock. With the exception of the status of fire line and sprinkler situation, DRC Members felt the project posed few, if any, problems.

MODIFIED SITE PLAN REVIEW 1. Thorsen MiSP/COA #Z-95126 - (Patterson) 617 E. Lamme Proposed revision of previously approved Minor Site Plan condition of approval. Planner Dean Patterson presented the details of the modification in a memo. (complete text on file at the Planning Office.) Discussion ensued on ways to widen the easement as only 7.5' is available between the house and the property line. Planning Director Epple noted that joint access would eliminate the need for a deviation. Planner Patterson noted that Mr. Winn expressed no problem with the existing situation. Mr. Forbes would like to see the building turned and a regular drive installed from Lamme. Planning Director Epple noted that Mr. Forbes's idea may be the best and the applicant could build a shared access with his neighbor. Discussion continued. Discussion followed on the alley ownership problem. Planning Director Epple noted that Mr. Forbes's suggestion puts the solution in the hands of the applicant, where it should be. Mr. Forbes noted that there are a number of 8-9' driveways that were installed around houses to the garages all over Bozeman. Discussion ensued that the applicant needs to have at least 10' for the driveway. Planning director Epple suggested a re-write of the condition that the applicant either prove ownership of the alley or turn the garage and put in a joint access at least 10' wide from the front of the house. Mr. Forbes moved, Mr. Paysek seconded, that the original condition have added to it, "if legal access from the alley cannot be established, then the building shall be reoriented so access to the garage is from the south and a driveway shall be constructed at least 10' wide with an easement for joint access recorded with the Gallatin Clerk and Recorder, with the parking and access plans to be approved by the Planning Office. Planning Director Epple inquired if this will affect the DRB. Planner Patterson stated that he would take this project back to them. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
