A. SECOND 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 the upper deck and stairs, and add 5 new parking spaces.
Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell presented the project, noting that it is a 736 square
foot addition.
Mr. Paysek commented there already exists a Wavier of Right to Protest for improvements to
Babcock. He continued that there is a need for a similar Waiver for llth and 19th Streets, if
they have not already been signed. Planner Arkell will check the old file.
Mr. Sicz noted that he'd like to see curbing, gutters, and sidewalks in that area, however it is
not possible at this time.
Discussion ensued on fire safety factors. Mr. Garcia stated that the basement is not sprinklered.
He explained that it was not required when the structure was built, but required after the
building was completed. He did offer to sprinkler it at that time if the City would install the 4"
main, as he had already paid for one water line to be installed. He noted the City did not take
him up on his offer. Mr. Winn stated that he would make a site visit and check on existing
conditions, then give his opinion at next week's DRC meeting.
Mr. Forbes was asked if there is a street moratorium on Babcock, to which he responded
affirmatively. He noted that the street can be cut if there is a fire safety issue.
Chairperson Skelton noted that DRC will make the final decision on this project next week.
Planner Arkell concurred.

B. INITIAL WEEK REVIEW
1. Aaker/Payne MPA #P-9614 - (Saunders)
West of S. 19th, between Lincoln and Kagy
A Master Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from "AS"
to a combination of "R-4", "RO", and "B-2" on a 21.5289 acre tract of land.
Assistant Planner Chris Saunders presented the project. He noted there is one stream and one
stream/ditch. His concern is accessing Kagy. Mr. Forbes noted that there are no existing
streets, therefore, one must refer to the Master Plan. Planner Saunders noted the applicant
hasn't submitted an application for annexation at this time. He continued that annexation will
be a condition for granting the zoning changes. Planner Saunders stated the area is about the
size of the University Square property.
Mr. Paysek inquired as to the nature of businesses expected to be in the area. Mr. Marks could
not specify as it is too early in the process. Chairperson Skelton noted the businesses would
have to conform to the B-2 zoning requirements.
Mr. Sicz inquired about the projected traffic as it will be difficult to access South 19th without
signalization. The Committee agreed that it would be difficult to do a traffic assessment before
knowing the business-types that will be at the location.
Mr. Paysek inquired where the water/sewer would tie into the City systems. Mr. Marks stated
from Lincoln. Mr. Paysek noted that the lines aren't in yet, the City is waiting for Mr. Cook
to install them as part of his project. Discussion ensued on the location of the existing mains
and the size of them. Mr. Forbes noted there are some capacity problems with the sewer lines
in that area. Mr. Paysek will check into those problems.
Planner Saunders inquired if there is any talk of annexing the other parcel adjacent to it. Mr.
Marks noted it will be 4 to 5 years.
Discussion ensued that signalization is on the twenty year plan for Kagy and 19th. Discussion
followed on roads/streets to be installed and signalization. Mr. Paysek noted that an extension
of Remington Way to the west could provide an access for this property. Mr. Marks wants to
discourage traffic from using the church's access. Mr. Forbes noted that the church was
required to use Remington Way as a secondary access.
Mr. Paysek inquired about the current use of the land. Mr. Marks noted it is undeveloped farm
land. Discussion ensued on the streams/ditch and the requirement of a 310 permit. Planner
Saunders discussed which stream is to be an open space as shown in the Master Plan.
Mr. Marks noted some commercial zoning is needed in this location. Also more higher density
housing close to MSU is needed for student housing.
Mr. Sicz noted the need for curbing, gutters, and sidewalks on Kagy.
Chairperson Skelton inquired of Mr. Marks about converting the zoning to B-1 instead of B-2.
Mr. Marks stated that the 5000 square foot limitation isn't large enough for most stores,
including hardware stores. Mr. Forbes noted that it would help the Main Street transportation
circulation problem if there were a "real" grocery store, etc., in the area. Discussion ensued
as to the feasibility of motels in that area and how MSU officials would feel about them.
Mr. Sicz stated the plan looked appropriate to him.
After the three simultaneous discussions concluded, Mr. Paysek noted that there is a need to red
flag the sewer situation.

C. ONE WEEK REVIEW
1. Laden Major Subdivision Preapplication P-9617 - (Skelton)
Intersection East Valley Center Road and Harper-Puckett Road
A Major Subdivision Preapplication to subdivide 40.002 acres into 11 rural
residential lots.
Senior Planner Dave Skelton presented the project as FYI. He stated that it is 40 acres. Mr.
Brawner sent his concern with Mr. Paysek about there being adequate traffic circulation. Mr.
Forbes noted that if Gallatin County hasn't received right-of-way for either of the adjoining
roads, this would be a good time to get it. He inquired if Sam Gianfrancisco had received these
plans. Mr. Winn noted that Bret Waters of the Belgrade Fire Department may have some
comments on the project.
Mr. Woodward moved, Mr. Forbes seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. Meeting
adjourned.
